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

I went to Ft Jackson in 85 summer just burning us up. This pvt joker, musta been 6' 4", smart mouthed the Drill who was maybe 5' 6" or so, the Drill grabbed the guys BDU's and pulled himself up to eye level to chew him out. Some us laughed and the Drill went ballistic. We got a 4 hour session.

I had gone to sick call on a Friday and by Army standards have a temperature of 99 is back to duty. So the next day Saturday I felt worse, but did not want to act like a puss and went through the training. At the end of the day two privates were overheard by a DS, "These Drills are not that tough they can't tell us what to do." Well our whole platoon was order out in formation with weapons and spent the next hour getting smoked with weapons PT." That evening, I went to sick call with a 103 degree temp. Strep throat. I was afraid of getting recycled.

1st of all....seeking additional anything in any "Basic" environment is grounds for an old Section 8.
Secondly, If you are hell bent on it...,please don't be standing anywhere near your friends.

Wait a minute, that's not what the recruiter told me!

If they ask what day it is say leg day. It worked every time

Call the drill Sgt private

True story ds put shoe polish on the inside of his campaign hat and left it on the ds table in our bay. Left the room and a couple guys rried it on. When he walked back in he just laughed and told us to head to the drill pad.

“Sarge, can we sleep in tomorrow? You’ve been a little hard on us lately”.

Putting your hands in your pocket is a good start.
Or tell the Drill Sargent you feel cold.
Motivational exercises should warm you up just nicely.

Doing Drill Sargent impressions, is another direction to go. Especially in front of them.

Ha, the answer, when I went through basic in 1983, Would be: Anything!
