Things you can do or say at basic to ensure additional smoke sessions.
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.

Forget to button a button on your jacket, roll your sleeves wrong, or blouse your boots wrong. Basically do anything wrong and you will find yourself pushing the dirt down! Hell, you could do everything right and still get smoked by an idiot move by anyone in the squad! Oh, and anyone who thinks having a pillow fight in the barracks after the drill sergeants leave is a good idea, think again. This is frowned upon, and you will get smoked for DAYS!

We had a guy tell our RDCs that he took so long in the head because he was taking a dump. Also had a guy with a uniform that looked like he slept in it while the fleet master chief of the Atlantic sub fleet was present.

When it looks like the recruits are about to get into a fight, find some reason to discretely slip away, along with the other drill sgts. Let the fight get blown out of proportion so there's blood and blackeyes, torn uniforms, all that. Then, slip back in as if teleported, give the two fighters a cold glass of water, seats, tell them they earned it.

Then smoke the shit out of everyone else who wasn't fighting.

Oh and: publicly frown upon gear theft within the platoon, but secretly encourage or ignore gear theft when its your platoon doing it to another platoon. When recruits from the other platoon want their gear back and the exchange is getting heated, time to dip out and let them have at it. Then come back in and smoke everyone for lack of teamwork or something of that nature.

Throw in extra fireguard shifts, and insinuate it was because someone in the platoon when to the company commander or something made up (no one really went to the commander for anything). When they start looking around and getting angry with each other, smoke them.

In A 1-19, summer 2013, there was plenty of shouting, and they never called us anything but pvt's.

1. Refuse to count out loud when told to do so, or get to about 5 and stop. When asked why you didn't count so the DS could hear you, reply I have no idea.

2. When the DS calls your name, and you jump up and sound off, he says, do you think I am psychic, or do you think you are in some sort of trouble. And reply in a smart ass tone that You think you are in some type of trouble.
