Does this type of thing actually occur or is this a gag? How would you respond to this situation?

Well, having gone through FLW for BCT I can attest to that almost happening a few times just based on the cold freezing all the water out of some privates brains... but I never saw it no.
Still humorous. DS was still, professional, respectful and stayed right on track for safety and instruction.

I believe it, most have never handled a weapon and have no concept of basic weapon operations. This training is part of turning civilians into Soldiers....no problem here.

This video is over 5 years old. That recruit is now a member of the Special Forces team so he's came a long way. No seriously I made that up. I don't see anything wrong here. This is turning the civilian into a Soldier.
