They understand happiness; they don't want their recruits to be happy. Completely different thing.

Marine DIs understand happiness and appreciate it. They get happiness from crushing your soul. I think some get sexual gratification from watching you PT.

Smoking doesn't happen in the military anymore.
Simply corrective training with PRT and a maximum of ten repetitions per exercise.

You just have to show no emotion. Whatsoever. I remember one time during drill I made a grimace when I screwed up a step, got called out by a blue rope and did push-ups until muscle failure. From then on I had a stone face for the rest of basic. Good times....

I got caught smiling at others stupidity and had to do some push-ups on a few occasions. Do what your told and be a team player is the key to success in boot/basic.

Can't wait

They don't have to be nice to you and their job is to "smoke" him. When he smiles he deserves everything he gets. I smiled once while in boot camp. It wasn't until I earned the title of United States Marine. |

Boot = MARINES.
Drill Sargeant = ARMY. if your son is in boot, then it's a drill INSTRUCTOR. if your son has drill Sargents, then he's in BASIC. Either way, congrats to him for enlisting, and to you for raising a responsible patriotic young man. |
