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.

I went to basic at Fort Knox KY in 1983. One of my drill sergeants liked to tell us "bedtime stories" about Vietnam. It was his way to take up what "free time" we had to polish boots, shower, or shave prior to lights out. One night one recruit asked the question, "sergeant, can you hurry this up? I have to write a letter to my girlfriend." The drill immediately said he was done, and put the recruit on an overnight marching patrol, but the advantage for the rest of us was the "bedtime stories" ended for the rest of basic. That taught me that the sacrifice of one benefits many.

It was evening, we were toeing the line and counting off there was this 6'7" guy, he was number 14.
we are sounding off, one one!, one two!, one three!, one whore!, one five! the drill sergeant visually lost his composure gathered it back up and smoked all of us.

It's not something I said, we were 7 weeks in training. we were in the field and our female Drill Sergeant looked at me, "Private Kilby are you in my platoon?" "Roger Drill Sergeant."
"Front leaning rest position move!" She said, "I have never once had to smoke you i didn't even know you were in my group. Down, highspeed, UP!" I thought it was pretty funny.

Can't smoke a rock; Dumber than a box of rocks, aren't you Drill? My AIT is elsewhere, no OSUT for me!; My tax dollars pay your salary, Drill. Touch me and I will call my State Representative.

While queuing up at the mess hall one of my first days in Basic, the guy ahead of me decided to whistle at a woman who was entering the building. By the time they finished with him, I had a new respect for just how stupid some people can be and just how well they could be rewarded with opportunities for conditioning.

Sorry Drill Sergeant, but we did more PT than this in our ROTC Class every day twice a day in High School.
