What is one thing that your Drill Sergeants or Drill Instructors taught you that you will never forget?

The dying cockroach position, the army loves it, the marine Corp hates it, and the coast guard won't fuck with it. June of 79

As a nco leader i realized if the founding memories of my troops were from basic training the army let them down. Nothing against basic but its like having you best school memory of kindergarten. I would divert training to somme cool shit get em up in birds or blow something up.

SSG (Join to see) We Don't Have Drill Instructors in the Navy We Have Company Commanders C/Cs. Mine taught Me the Coolest thing You can Call Me is "Sailor" Through Most of Boot Camp. You are "Recruits" and that is it but 2 Weeks before We Left CTRC Zetterholm came into the Squad Bay and Greeted Us Up for Reveille "Good Morning Sailors!"

"What are you walking for dickhead!"

How to make a bed. I use those corners on my bed to this very day - 43 years later.
