anyone here ever say or do anything that got their DI or DS to break character?
Or even get them to laugh and have a real moment with them we're you act like human beings to one another?
Why would anyone willingly take that job?
Keep eye in humor threads a few of them are amazing.

I wonder if those people were like offended because they actually worship that King nigger or were they just pissed at the recruit couldnt answer correctly?
After listening to his speeches since the beginning and seeing what he has actually done since taking office,.. i have no respect for that traitorous lying nigger whatsoever. I would refuse to address him as "Mr. President" or anything else but "sack of shit"
These need to be capped I've not seen in the humor threads or boot threads before.
I told my DS i was going to be a cannon cocker. He lost his shit for a while from that.

From what I understand, Drill whatevers will get pissed at you because they want an excuse to smoke you and make you hate them. It's the same reason why coaches will jump your shit and yell at you for damn near anything. If you hate your coach but respect them, that sense of discipline is instilled and you work better under them.
In the case of bootcamp it'll make you more prone to accepting chain of command and you'll be working out a whole hell of a lot and pushing your body to extremes. At least, this is as I understand it by asking like, 5 recruits about their experiences in bootcamp. Being someone who regularly thinks about how to organize a military/militia, this seems to make sense.

>>25189524

This isn't really a story of a DI "breaking character", but it is an example of a WFT moment I experienced with one.

etc.
>>25189554
Basically our DI told this kid to run away, and that he wouldn't rat on him.
What made it so good is that it was in the dead of night in a squad bay on Camp Pendleton. So it's literally dead silent, and then we all hear him walk over and say/whisper this.

Pretty sure you stop calling your DIs "sir" once you finish the crucible.
So basically there was this recruit in my platoon that was an absolute piece of garbage. He'd fall out on hikes, drop his bolt in the fucking dirt, shave improperly, etc. It wasn't any help that he looked like an retard too. So our DIs gave him a lot of shit. Saying stuff like "How many cousins had to fuck to make you?", etc.
Then one day...
>"_______, get up on the pullup bar!"
>"Aye-aye sir!"
>kid does 1, then 2, and then freezes on the 3rd one.
>"Don't you fucking get off that bar."
>"Aye-aye sir!"
>kids arms start shaking
>"Are you fucking telling me that you can't even do 3 goddamn measly pullups?"
>silence
>"What in the fuck is your MOS recruit?"
>"Infantry, sir!"
>DIs facepalms and shakes his head
>"Get off the bar and come over here."
>kid jumps down and stands at attention
>"I'm going to give it to you straight. I say this not as a Marine, but as a man. You are a failure. If you somehow make it through the rest of training, I will personally see to it that you're stacking boxes for some Logistics battalion. You will get someone killed. That is a fact. Do you understand me?"
>"Y...y-yes sir."
>"Good. Get the fuck back in line."
This was in front of the entire platoon. This kid's dream was fucking crushed on that quarter deck. Sorta tough to watch.

all of which could be fixed if he put in effort. It doesn't matter what his dream is, if he's not willing to put in 100%. the DI gave him the stern talking to his father never did
>>25189754
I wouldn't want to be in a relationship if I ever enlisted.
>>25189727
That's really harsh but it is what it is I guess. Not everyone's cut out for it.
>>25188878
A week before graduation, shortly after the crucible, we were allowed full rations, and as such, everyone was farting.
I let loose when the DI was doing inspection, and he said
"Private, did you just bust ass?!"
and I reply
"SIR YES SIR!"
and he doubled over laughing and the whole squad bay started cracking up...but that was the only time...any other time you laugh in basic training, you will be PUNISHED.
>>25188891
After a certain point if you refuse to do recruiter or drill you won't get promoted anymore.
>>25189713
the crucible is relatively new.
there's plenty of Marines around that never did it.
>>25189799
pull ups are actually a pretty shitty exercise if you want to judge a persons overall fitness. I am pretty sure only the muhreens do it.
>>25189405

>>25189982
If you can't pull yourself up over a wall and you want to be infantry then that is a problem.
>>25189982
They just need people to run fast and carry heavy things on their back. General fitness doesn't factor in too much.

What if you need to climb a wall after getting your shins blown off by a jap machinegun?
>>25188891
A lot of people angle for it because it's really good money, and some people enjoy the teaching. Also, there's lots of instructor positions where you're not SIR SARGE SIR.
On my basic, they would break character pretty much any time we weren't doing anything. They weren't exactly our buddies, given huge age and rank gaps, but even "in character" they made it clear why they were doing what they were doing and why we were doing what we were doing. They don't yell at you just to yell at you. If anything, they try to be funny because they know that we know that they know that we know it's all just a big fucking joke.
>>25189126
we had a girl do that (well, just vomited in the mask, no shitting) but no one found it funny
that shit is gross
>>25190000
have you ever jumped a fence ever? Climbing is all in the legs, and pullup position is entirely wrong for climbing a wall. What, you're gonna reach THROUGH the wall to do a rad pullup? nah son.

This dude was like 6'6, he had the "house mouse" job but they called him "House Giraffe." Anyways, our kill hat was this 5'5 manlet mexican dude. He was checking shaves before a final drill. He gets to giraffe and Giraffe does this huge bow like a Japanese guy apologizing to his parents for getting a B+. Then he whips his face eye to eye with DI manlet. DI manlet cracks up "oh my god I've lost my bearing"

It's actually one of the best exercises to see the strength of someone in relation to their weight. Not only does it improve grip strength, forearm strength, back strength, and bicep strength (that can be translated to so much more than climbing) but...
You're seriously telling me that climbing shit isn't important in combat?
>no one's ever had to climb up or down a building
>no one will ever have to climb a wall with 50lbs or more of equipment
>no one has ever has to climb a rope

>though unlikely, the agility to hang on something for your life.
There's a reason why Infantry Muhreenes are considered better than Army Infantry. This is one of those reasons.
>>25190141
I am not saying it isn't useful or impossible for people to do. Its just that its ease is based upon your body makeup and which muscles you worked out. Like any weight in your legs is just making it more difficult, your abs are basically just used for stabilization, and the primary muscle your working is your lats.
Not a militaryfag but I tried to be, was in the Army for 34 days and got sent home cuz I found out I had ulcerative colitis. I have a little story
>before recruits get sent down range

>>25190223
I bet if we grabbed every normal height and normal weight male in the Army, and compared them to every Marine in a pull up contest, the Marines would win because, guess what, they TRAIN IT.
And they do way more than the mandatory amount because people try to get a good PFT score.

you don't do pullups to climb shit. it's all in the legs to get a boost up and find footholds
same with climbing rope, its easier to bring your legs up and push yourself than to pull yourself by your arms
>>25189469
You owe me some new sides
>>25190196

People with dumbass tattoos get jumped at night by bunkmates and threatened with a cheese grater. Someone usually puts them up to it. Its a nice scare cause you can say if they don't get rid of the tattoo the drill sergeant is gonna keep picking on them. They don't actually cheese grate the guy though. Hopefully.
>>25190247
The thing is, it's true, Army infantry have this hilarious idea that we're the same in every way except for the culture.
But looking at it with a little common sense should be way more obvious.
Longer boot camp
Focus on training, not on equipment
Higher physical standards
The ones at embassies and guarding the president.
Way more strict culture (sometimes too strict, but way more disciplined)
More drop out and suicide rates (not everyone can hack it)

They're considered better by other marines sure. From an impartial point of view, Army infantry would be much better trained as infantry, considering that the Army can afford training exercises more than once a year.

You don't have to lift up your entire body to do those, legs do most of the work. Your arms are there to keep you there, not to lift you up.

I like how you retarded sons of bitches are clinging to one thing, and even that thing is wrong.
I go bouldering, ask anyone who does if you don't need to work on pull ups to get better.
And my maim point still remains untouched (and rightfully so you contrarian fucks) that pull up exercises create stronger backs, a stronger grip, strongest forearms, and stronger biceps, all of which can only help in countless of combat oriented tasks...and yes, those pull ups can make the difference between failing to climb an obstacle by a few inches, or actually being able to do so.
>>25190222
>There's a reason why Infantry Muhreenes are considered better than Army Infantry
They're not, at least by the people who know better. They're around the same. The only people who think Marines are inherently better are the Marines themselves and civilians who know jack shit about the military.
>>25190439
Like I said, not him, if you choose to believe me it's up to you. Id much rather take a guy who dropped out due to a condition, then some fat nobody basement dweller as a worker, friend, etc

>>25190475

>>25190341
You use your arms to stabilize, and your legs to kick around. Look at pretty much any person, or any mammal even -- legs (or rear legs) are typically more powerful than arms (or fore legs)
its why cats grab stuff with their front paws and kick the shit out of it, its how dogs jump and lunge, etc. I think the only major exception is horses, because they have a fairly balanced gait and don't do a lot of jumping around

Kicked out because of EPTS: conditions existing prior to service, so they claim, basically so they wouldn't have to pay me benefits or anything. And I thought about killing myself for a while but got over it. Don't plan on having any kids though. at least in making something out of myself instead of being an obese limp dicked basement dwelling faggot who doesnt have a single friend, has 0 redeeming qualities. Does it feel bad knowing your parents hate you and wish you were a miscarriage? I mean, my parents love me so I wouldn't know how it feels knowing my parents wished I was never born.

its a way easier way to climb stuff
same for climbing rope
it's almost always easier to use your arms to just hold yourself in place, and climb by bringing your legs in and pushing up from underneath with your big powerful sexy legs rather than trying to pull yourself up by your comparatively weaker arms (because think of just the plain physics of daily life, your legs do a lot more work than your arms and are inherently beefier)
think about it. do you punch down doors or kick them in? what's easier, kicking a soccerball or football a bajillion yards, or throwing it overhand?

At that point he passed him off.
>>25190671
You fucking DENSE IDIOT, no one is saying you don't use your legs, but not everything is a fucking rope climb either.
There are more climbing scenarios where you rely more on your arms, than there is for relying more on legs.
And for the sake of the argument, let's say youre right though, how the fuck can pull ups not be beneficial to climbing better and doing other strength related things?

During our tattoo inspection in the bay, this dude had someone's last name on the back of his neck, and DS's were calling it a tramp stamp.

How far along was this? There were quite a few fatbodies who couldn't do 2 pullups the first day but by the middle/end of basic were doing 20 without even thinking about it.
>>25191885
If I remember, it was right after we came back from Camp Pendleton for the first time. So maybe about 2 months in?
>>25191885
20? Are we talking full hang pullups?
>>25191933
How is that even possible? Like someone else said above that sounds like a DI problem more than anything.
>>25191953
It was an exaggeration but you get the point. I don't think I saw anyone who couldn't do a good number of pullups by the middle/end of basic.
>>25190671
Climber here. All bullshit. You use your arms quite a lot for climbing, and doing pullups while gripping slopers is one of the best things you can do to improve. Yes you use your legs, but if you're all legs and no arms and back you're going to have a bad time.
>>25192002
what a good number of press ups for basic. I never joined the military but I worked out hard when I was a teenager to anyway.
I used to do 100 pressups in 2 sets of fifty every morning and most I ever did was 84 in one set. Since i trained alone I thought that was absolute shit and any army recruit would be knocking out 100s lol
How many are you expected to do really at various points of basic?

Ex-Bundeswehr here.
Guys from my platoon got the DI to break character during machinegun training. They were issued a really fucking old MG3 (you could see where the Wehrmacht marking had been filed off from it) that had a sticky barrel cahnge lever that worked improperly. So our DI in full angry Stuffz mode rolls in to chew out their asses and show them how's it done, smacks open the lever, grabs the barrel to yank it out - and realises that he isn't wearing any protective gloves while touching a barrel they they had just fired some 200 rounds out of.
