Was the drill instructor too harsh or is he just too slow?

[invalid]

I think there is a science to, and has been studies supporting, what drill instructors do and it's shown to be the most effective way to push a person to their optimal level.

Looks like a regular day in Marine Corps bootcamp. That ain't shyt, word to all my other Marine Corps brethren

 

[Marco Zen]

My drill sergeant made me run in place holding my rifle over my head in his office one day for like an hour straight (for sneaking candy into my locker)... This mf doing paper work and then on the phone with his wife leaned back in his chair while I'm literally two feet from his desk hopping with a fukkin rifle over my head..

Him: hold on for a second baby. LIFT YOUR fukkIN KNEES PRIVATE!!! .... Ok I'm back babe.."

I think I was part of the last cycle to drill on asphalt. It was nothing to see at least half a platoon in sneakers due to stress fractures/shin splints halfway through Phase 1.​

In my Platoon we started with 65 dudes 34 actually graduated.

one mormon guy who we called Preach refused to do fire guard duty on saturdays so the drill said I thought I told you Mission first. No Problem I won't work you on saturday night you can do guard duty every other hour during the week.

Even with all of us doing most of his shifts he was still tired as shyt. They gave him the 240 on the last ruck march he fell behind and he didn't graduate.
