This may get hidden, but in honor of the Romney campaign I'll quote my old Drill Sergeant anyway ...
To a recruit at Fort Bragg, NC, in 1970, who continually dropped his pugil stick: "Boy! You could reach into a barrel of ***** and pull out a dick!"

I believe that the SGT was trying to indicate to the recruit in question, who was standing next to me at the time, that the recruit was not meeting the Drill Sergeant's expectations. (And the worst mistake of my then 19 years on this Earth was to laugh. I received a horizontal stroke, and after falling to the ground I was hit in the gut so hard that I couldn't breathe for a good 45 seconds. Trust me, Drill Sergeants do NOT want you to laugh ... even when they are REALLY funny!)

But back to my initial point, has there been a more clueless candidate in modern history than Mitt Romney? Is there a single constituency which he needs to sway that he hasn't somehow managed to alienate? Yeah, he will win the rich white guy vote in a walk. And that should be just about it.

Keep reaching into that barrel, Mitt.

11Boo must have watched Full Metal Jacket. Wonder if he got tired of Hamburger Hill?

so you know, getting physical like this is no longer allowed, not with ths all volunteer force.

I never did, but there were other creative ways to make the point.

At ease recruit. You just made me laugh hard. Yup, not only can see it, bit know what you mean.



On the bright side he did not really hurt you...there was a potential there.

Oh and Romney not only wants it...but feels entitled to it.

Somehow I can't picture her on a 15 mile forced march in full gear.

New.

Uh, wouldn't the Mexican army, even if it allowed females, have some, uh, altitude requirements, like that one has to be at least such-and-such so tall?

The Israeli Defense Forces, to which nadin one alleged to have belonged (but she doesn't mention it any more) of course allow women, but one wonders if they too might not have minimal vertical standards.

[EagleKeeper]

Oh, I don't know, she may have a point.

My DI had a habit of "brutalizing" us with the rim of his campaign hat.

[NHSparky]

So now he was at Fort Bragg in 1970.  Huh--someone should tell him the Vietnam War and our involvement was quite a bit smaller even by then than it was at its peak.  Or do I recall him claiming he was in Vietnam prior to that?

Oh, and yeah, in the right circumstances, dipshit, DI's, CC's, or whoever, don't necessarily mind if you laugh.  Just expect a few extra pushups for it.

Maybe I'll tell you about the joke I told our new CC when one of the originals we had (Senior Chief Nelson) had to be replaced during my time there because of a hernia.  But you wouldn't believe it, because 1--you're a *****, 2--you have no idea what it's like.

I caught that.

He was supposedly in VN at the time.

Hill 937, AKA Hamburger Hill, the conflict that he was a hero and highly decorated, went down in 69.

He went through basic in 70. HUMMM

Not that I know of Frank.  DR. Ruth at 4'11"  [ the sex doctor ] tells of having to take apart a machine gun of some kind, dismantle it then put it back together while blind folded at the old age of 16 or younger.

Whoops.  He dun ****ed up.

But as for the joke--when Senior Chief Nelson was replaced, we were "introduced" to his replacement (we had just finished Service Week, about halfway through boot camp.)  We got the usual speech, how nothing was changing, you better not slack, etc., and then he finished up with a question that in retrospect, he shouldn't have asked when he said, "Now alright...who has a ****in joke?"

I raised my hand and said, "Yes, I do, sir!"  To which I was told to spit it out.

To borrow the phrase from Ron White, I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability.

I said, "Sir!  If you woke up one morning in the woods, your hands were tied behind you and your ass was smeared with Vaseline, would you tell anyone?"

To which he immediately replies, "**** NO!"

And my just as quick (and yeah, I was pretty committed by this point) reply, "You wanna go camping next weekend?"

Dead. ****ing. SILENCE. For about three seconds.  Then EVERYONE busted up.  Tears on the other CC's (Senior Chief Benware) face.  In fact, for the rest of our time at RTC Great Lakes, he'd go up to random people in our sister company and go, "You wanna go camping this weekend?"

Yeah, Bravo--I did it.  **** you.

She is 4'8" max now, I know because I have seen her.  I doubt that she was ever any use to the IDF, as I doubt that the Mexican Red Cross ever hired her, she is a balding, little, bullshit artist.

He was such a badass that he went to combat then did basic later.

Had a Senior Chief in A school who was into Hellen Keller jokes. I asked him how she moaned during sex, then put my hand in the air and wiggled my fingers around. Every time I saw him after that he stuck his hand in the air and wiggled his fingers while laughing his ass off.
He was a crusty old FMF HMCS and expected quite a bit out of us but he had a sense of humor.

I was going to say that. He claimed to be on Hill 937 in 1970 when in fact that happened in 1969 and now claims he was in Boot in 70 at Ft Bragg? How did he get from the 101st to the 82nd Airborne? I might be wrong but I do not think they ever had boot camp at Ft Bragg.

6. Yeah, I know Drill SGTs can't smack the boots around anymore. And it didn't really hurt as much ...

as it stunned me. After all, I wasn't the one who kept dropping the ****ing pugil stick! All I did was laugh! (But like I said, I found out that they REALLY didn't like it when you laughed!)

I'll ask our Army Veterans of the period (1970).

Was the word "boot" used to describe recruits? It wasn't part of the Army's language in 1980.

Sounds like sailor talk to me 

[JakeStyle]

When I was a recruit, I owned the pugil stick fights,I was really good at them.

[Airwolf]

Boot camp
During the Spanish-American War, Sailors wore leggings called boots, which came to mean a Navy (or Marine) recruit. These recruits trained in "boot" camps.

Any doggies here use the pugil sticks in Basic?  Marines I know did, don't know about Army.

Not at Ft Dix in 1980.

B-2-3 as I recall.

[GOBUCKS]

I don't think anyone has ever believed that DUmmy numbersBoo was actually in combat.

He's as phony a soldier as TomInTib, DUmoTex and homo Bradley Manning.

And the crazy bald dwarf has really outdone herself claiming to have been a drill instructor.

Nutcase nadin is two meters tall, at her standard of 60 centimeters per meter.

In real height, that comes in at right about four feet even.  Four feet!

She was never in a military organization, unless there was an army in the Land of Oz.

[Big Dog]

B-2-3 as I recall.

I went back to Ft Dix TDY 4 years ago. The old barracks are still there, Wrightsown is even seedier than I remembered.

While I was at BCT there was some kind of trucker's strike in New Jersey. No beer delivery. We had on-post pass toward the end of the cycle, and I got stupid drunk on $1 bottles of Ripple.

It's funny, the things that pop into a guy's head, years later:
We are Bravo 4-3
The best damn company in BCT
Ahead of the pack
We're best by test
Always ready
To beat the rest
Drive on, Drill Sergeant.
Drive on!
