I thought this would be a good way to add some humor to the discussions list.<br><br><br>Things like...:<br><br><br>- Simply ask "Why?" for anything.<br>- "That was easy." after getting smoked<br>- Complain about the heat/cold<br>- Touch the campaign hat.

We had a guy show up with a Drill Sergeant badge on his uniform. By some strange twist, he was authorized to wear it, but they wore him out for the first few days....

CPT Bob Moore
The story I heard was that he was in a foreign military or police force that sent their trainers to the Army Drill Sergeant School, then he became a US citizen and joined the Army. Because he had graduated, he could wear the badge. Because he wasn't completely familiar with our military, he wore it.

I was prior service. Made SSG in full time reserves. Went back and they made me an E2. They had prior service put on their greens and I had BNCOC on mine. I stayed in trouble. They had me babysit everyone.

An even better question is, why would you want to piss off the Drill Sgt? If they don't know your name, you doing it right.

A little story: I joined the Army in early 2011, when the cutoff age was 42. I was 40 at the time. Went to basic at Relaxin' Jackson. Had a female DS that busted my chops one day about being so old. Out in the field she said to me, "You're old enough to be my mom!" I replied, "That means I'm old enough to date your mom". She laughed her ass off and made me do a whole lot of push-ups. After that, she'd make sure to say stuff like, "Hey V, I talked to my mom this morning..." and I'd always tell her to tell her mom hello.

On the 4th of July in basic training we got to watch "Full Metal Jacket." When the D.I. got shot in the movie, the entire company started cheering.... I was dark, before we got done with push ups.

Here's a couple that seemed to have worked well for me.
1. Get caught smoking on the injured truck coming back from bivouac. Apparently not everyone who was asleep, was really asleep.
2. During a midnight equipment check, after I passed, toss a canteen to a fellow trainee who had an empty. DS Morales seemed to have felt a disturbance in the Force and came at me from 2 platoons over. Do you know how hard it is finding a canteen that has been flung in to the darkness by a very angry, very large, DS?

Having the last name Shipley...
MTI: "Shipley huh? You should've joined the Navy! Get it? SHIPley? God I'm hilarious."
Me (having the dumbest look on my face) : "Yes, yes you are sir."
Needless to say I pushed Texas closer to hell for that.

Shipley is a large donut chain in Texas. Might stir things up. Another good last name is major. He was an instructor during OCS grade of CPT so he was captainmajor

1.When your DS is walking out of the bay for the night after everyone "mounts their racks"...
yell " GOODNIGHT DAD "
2. When DS knocks over a rubber ducky M16, yell out " OOOOOhhhh five-oh! " because weapons hitting the ground costs you 50 pushups.
neither of them were me, but in my platoon bay hahahah #1 was the evening after graduation and DS gave us a good job speech.
#2 was at mail call... which after knocking over 1 rubber m16, the cry was heard, and then followed by an additional 149 rubber ducky m16's being thrown and we actually had to pay back 7500 push ups.... i think that was like our 2nd week in ugh
yell " GOODNIGHT DAD "

When getting smoked, You can't some me 0, You can't some me 0,You can't some me 0,You can't some me 0,You can't some me 0!
We did that to a Leg BC at rigger School after some Jack Ass pulled the fire alarm and 01:00. He was pissed!!! and after that he about had a melt down for us sounding of with you can't smoke me. Later on during a battalion run we left the other companies in the dust, that also pissed him off. Those were the days when you had to be able to run like a rabbit to pass Airborne School
