I'm heading off to BCT this October and I just heard that they are getting rid of the Drill Sergeant shark attacks, I'm actually a bit disappointed that I won't experience it but I'm curious about how it's going to work now. Does anyone have insight about how it is being replaced?

I heard they are getting rid of "grass drills" next and after that, the enemy will not longer use live ammo, only blanks to correspond with friendlier wars. There was a proposal on the table to scrap combat during Christmas but Mikey Weinstein complained and they stopped this idea.

Not sure anyone would vote down your comment MAJ Byron O, I guess they can't recognize the sarcastic humor, or it is as SGM Steve Wettstein thinks, Before I retired I had heard something about stress cards , hopefully the military hasn't resorted to that nonsense.

Where there is a will, there's a way. Drill Sergeants will find a way to induce stress, just maybe not as public.

I certainly hope so. If recruits can't handle the stress of DSs screaming & wreaking utter havoc....I don't know how they're going to hope to hold it together in combat.

Well soldiers we are all going to sit around and sing the Koom by ah, and quilt our next gen body armor. I am beyond disgusted with this.
