During my Army AIT, had an IET soldier (I was prior service) had misplaced his ID. The first weekend they let the IET soldiers on pass, he had 4 traffic cones in a rectangle, and right in the middle was his ID. He spent 8 hour shift in full gear at parade rest from 0800 through 1600 Saturday and Sunday.

They also had the big wooden cell phone blocks, and saw some IET soldiers carrying one a couple of times, I can only imagine they got caught, but do not have intel as for their reason to carry them

Let's be clear this isn't a punishment this is corrective training. Only Commanders can give pinishment. This is Army training.

I wonder what you use for a sling. He obviously has it slung. I think I would encourage his first line leader to remove the sling for him. I think that would help his memory more.

I arrived at Benning at about 0100 hrs from AIT at Ft Gordon, to begin jump school. Around 0200 we were in line going into the supply room. It was a barracks building and the line was along the wall of the bay area. When I got where I could see the bay area floor, there was a private in the front leaning rest and a Black Hat leaning over and laying into the kid's back with riding crop. I did not know what he did, but I tightened my asshole and rigidified my parade rest. Nov 1967. The 173d was in serious combat at Dak To and they were preparing us to join them. And we did. I loved every minute. They fed us double rations, gave 15 minutes to eat. Good times. The dying cockroach was one of their favorite punishments.

We had a real screw-up in basic, always failing inspections. So rather than take it out on all of us, the DI made the screw-up dig a hole behind the barracks, plant his footlocker in it, bury said footlocker, plant grass seed, water said seed, then dig it all back up and stand inspection while the rest of us had the night off. Hilarious, and it really put the fear of God into the rest of us!

While on the grenade range at Benning I let my rifle get further from me than 2nd platoon's drill sergeant. He took it and I knew that if I didn't get it back I was going to be smoked during the few hours we would get to sleep as we had night infiltration that night. During chow I decided to liberate my M16 so I opened the door to the Deuce and started rooting through the collection of weapons that had accrued. Once I found mine I grabbed it and turned around to see my drill sergeant staring back at me. "What are you doing private?", "wait a minute, this isn't the chow line" I responded. "Private, You in my platoon?" "yes; fly on the wall drill sergeant" I said thinking I'm going to spend my next week getting smoked for stealing my rifle back from a drill sergeant. My drill sergeant pulls my Alice suspenders back so he could read my name tape and just goes "don't be a buddy fucker, grab 67 and 114 before that dick finishes chow. Oh and private: you ain't a fly on the wall anymore"...

As an MP on Ft. Sill, we busted up a fight at the Bowling Alley, 3 different Plt of trainees. How do you move 3 Plt back to Barracks? My partner stood in back of vehicle and marched them over the PA. When we turned them over to their respective DS they just left them at Attention and called in the rest of the DS. We hung around for the show. There was yelling and PT for hours.

Lol, great. I remember when you got smoked like a cheap cigarette for allowing your weapon to be more than arm's length distance from you.

Oh, damn. I did this once in Iraq in 2004. I was fighting Saddam's Revenge during a working party, and had to run to the outhouses we built to squirt out the rear everything in my stomach, sweats and all. When I got back, my battle buddy, who I'd passed my weapon off to, was being confronted by my Staff Sergeant and my Platoon Sergeant. So, needless to say, I got a reaming, pushed until they got tired, stirred burning shit (liquid, I wasn't the only Sick Marine) for the next week, and was asked where my rifle was (never out of arm's reach).

In AIT, we had the autobahn. 12x12 tiles down a hallway and whatever speed the DI said, was how many pushups you did per square. I had to do 10mph.

A young private in my BCT left his weapon lying around. DS had him dig a shallow grave in Jackson sand and bury it with "full" honors. Then the DS reached into the sand and charged it a few times. Had to be clean at the end of the day.

Left my weapon out of arms length in basic. They tied a piece of 550 cord through my eyelet in my BDU top and then to the front sight post. Long enough to bring the weapon up and fire it. Worn that the who 4 day FTX. wasn't even my fault. Battle buddy was supposed to be watching while I was in porta jon. he left it. He actually got a really really bad smoking!

When I was in Iraq 2006 my 1SG have this 6' foot wooden Gillette Shaver, every time he caught someone not shaving you will carry that thing for a week slung across your shoulder like a freaking M16.
Different scenario same location after guard duty I left my NODs in the tower guard and my replacement snitched on me and told my squad leader he smoked me for an hour, and I have to wear my full battle rattle for a week, and I have to carry a huge rock at the same time.

You're not the only ones. Came back late from they bayonet course at Benning with all sorts of mud and filth. "You got 10 min til lights out. I don't want to hear those showers running after that!" Some guys were too phobic and went to bed dirty. I didn't.
