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.

Ah... I wasn't getting it looking at the pic on my phone.
On the larger computer screen, now I see it.
Poor bastard.

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.
