I was rolling watching this. It is always humorous to see guys that think they can outslick the system...as if nobody has tried that before and the folks in charge are not aware of how they will try. It is more humorous to be there when they inevitably get caught, and try to talk their way out of it.

I didn't know any more about the Army when I enlisted than what I had read in Beetle Bailey comics or seen in Abbot and Costello movies. To be fair, they were funnier than this. However, what I found in reality was surprising. A dedicated bunch of sergeants determined to teach me the skills I needed to fight and survive. So, I enjoy a good laugh as much as the next person, but I'll always respect those DI's

I got smoked one time by one of our senior MTIs for whistling in the stairwell about 2 weeks into training. He had me dead to rights, but was determined to get me extra good. Started rattling off questions from our training manual, including questions from near the back of the manual where we weren't supposed to be at until near the end of training. Correct answers all the way through, because it was the exact same training manual we had in JROTC. He tells me next duty assignment, volunteer for the first thing. We're getting handed out assignments later on, my MTI puts out KP duty as the first thing. So, being the first one, raised my hand. "Oh, hell no, Tweety Bird. You aren't getting KP. You know what? I want you to go down to CQ and tell them you're scrubbing bird shit all weekend."
TI at CQ says, "Yeah, no. Grab a garbage bag. You're picking up bird feathers today." Uh... ok. Next day, my TI asks how the scrubbing went. "They had me picking up bird feathers, Sir." "What? Bird feathers? You go back down there today and tell them, 'SrA Leonard says I am to be scrubbing bird shit.'" "Yes, Sir." Go back down to CQ, and tell the TI in charge exactly that. Word for word. He doesn't even look up. "Did you get all the feathers up yesterday?" "No, Sir." "Well then, better get to it. Grab a bag."
I chuckled about it even then. You gotta love the giant game of chasing-your-tail they play. But yeah, I respect the hell out of them. They have a long and often times thankless job.
