What can you do or say at Basic to ensure additional smoke sessions?

You mean like this? The drill sergeant walked out for just a few minutes. Long enough for us to run in, put on the hat, and get a photo before he came back.

I got a lot of smoke by my Battle asking stupid questions like "Drill Sergeant, Is that the Radio GI Joe uses?" I hated that kid.

And when he told the Drills "I think I am allergic to your tap water", I didn't even wait to be told.

Oh and who will ever forget, "My recruiter told me you would give me a midnight snack if i was hungry"

Funny now, but not back then.

Never EVER leave your campaign hat unsecured more often than not trainees will feel the urge to wear it and unfortunately that leads to nothing but trouble! 

How about rubbing baby powder all over your face and arms, taking your sheets and cut holes into them, dress up as a ghost and walk to the DS Office and say Trick or Treat! Had two female privates think that would be funny..lol

So we messed up, and didn’t clean the latrine the way we should have. First week of red phase at Ft Benning. So as we are already in the front leaning rest, Our Senior Drill Sgt made the statement “Quit your moaning private’s, you sound like a bunt of gay porn stars.” Next thing I know someone shouted “Drill Sgt, you watch gay porn?!” Needless to say the training day was cancelled and we got smoked for hours straight. Great times

Shouldn't the question be "What can you ever say that DOESN'T lead to an extra smoke session?" Sand Hill has gallons of my sweat!

Eyeball your Drill Sergeant and when they ask you what you are looking at, begin your response with Sir. Anything after Sir, should get you squared away.

If the Drill Sergeant asks you if would like some ice cream be sure to order two scoops with sprinkles on top.

Tell the Drill Sergeant that you used to work in a western store and you would be willing to shape their hat for free

Ask them why you can't walk on the grass, put trash in the trash can, use your pockets, wear wet weather gear in the rain, wear more clothes when it is cold, or watch cartoons on Saturday morning.

I told my DS I couldn't do pushups. BIG mistake! I ended up pushing up Ft. McClellan Alabama the summer of 1986! All my DS and Company CO had to do was shoot me a look and I was in front leaning rest. I got so good at them, I could do them incline.

We got a solid 6 hour kill myself smoke session Right after chow... You know when you're starving and then they make you sprint to formation and you don't know if you're about shit yourself or throw up? It was during that moment that DS Andrade discovered that this one Private had stolen 27 packets of peanut butter from the Dfac. We were DONE! About half way through, I hear the soft sound of sobbing Just behind me. We're half way down in the front leaning rest, arms quivering, and it feels like One more burpee will end me. I glance over to tell them to shut up, and I see this 6'4", 250 lbs MAN crying like a child with a skinned knee. I lost it completely. I burst out laughing but tried my hardest to keep it quiet. DS heard, asked if I thought this was funny. "Yes, Drill SERGEANT!! "
.........DOWN!...... UP!....... HALF WAY DOWN!

We had to write a letter to the drill sergeant when we arrived. This letter was supposed to describe if we had any knowledge of the military and any leadership experience that we may have, so on and so forth. Well, I had originally enlisted in the USMC DEP before getting medically disqualified thus leading me to enlist in the army. Well, the first line of my letter was something to the effect of, "The Army was my second choice. I just figured that I would grace you with my presence. Semper Fi!" I knew what I was doing. Needless to say, it had the exact outcome that one would expect... Lmao
