Quoted:
SSgt Jenkins and SSgt Tiurjina. Looking back, the stuff they did, like having someone fill out a McDonands application for failing a locker inspection, were hilarious. My best memory though was 3 weeks in...once I was finally able to take a shit. I'm on the can and they call a fire drill. I come running out, pants unbuttoned, no belt, no blouse and no cover. My DI looks at me, tells me to report to CQ "as is". As I'm walking to CQ like this, the other DI's in the squadron just stopped and stared. I figure they assumed that I was so ate up I had to have a purpose. |

Quoted: Dude ALWAYS talkd about how fucking badass it was to be an 03... Come to find out he was a COMM guy and wasn't even a damn 03! One of my DI's, SGT Post, said he was in the barracks in Beirut when it got blown up by Hezbollah. I was never able to verify, but after a few of his "bedtime" stories about waking up at o'dark thirty and the building has fallen down...well, I believe him. He was a hardcore mother f'er. |

Ha ha ha ha... It's so funny that all the names come back like it was yesterday.
Fort Sill Oklahoma June 1997 B Battery 1st Bn 79th FA Senior DS SFC Russell SSG Barker SSG Lemons SSG Jordan - CRAZY Mo-Fo who used to tell us stories about killing a pregnant woman who ran his line in Panama. Bragged about how it was one shot, two kills. He also encouraged us young privates to screw a woman with no legs because you could just set her up there and spin. I'll never forget that guy. Then June 1998 D Battery 1/22nd for AIT 13B. I was NG, so it was a split op instead of OSUT. Our AIT Drills were all 95th BN USAR, so the only consistent drill we had was SSG Estep, who was there the whole time. |

Mendoza. A real sonofabitch.
Then one day he had us all at attention and went down the line making fun of everyone. He was actually very funny but yelled at those who laughed. I laughed.

Without even taking a second to think about it.
MCRD PI-mid '70s. Senior-SSGT Delarino SGT Farley SGT Elder SGT Vihill SGT Elder was the biggest, meanest, sadistic SOB to ever step foot on PI. We loved SSGT Delarino because he always saved us. Our Series GYSGT Emmsminger almost ran over me on Okinawa a year or so later. He pulled over and yelled, "Fuggit, you're still one stupid SOB aren't you." Except this time he was smiling. Stilled scared me. ETA-The OP said Drill Instructors. He didn't mention anything about Doggies posting in this thread. |

SGT Wilcox SGT Bland SGT Evans. He got moved to third deck when some DI got fired, so we only had him for about one month. We even had a 5th for a week, but he was a DI in training.

SFC Mahabirsingh SSG Williams Sgt Gita I'll never forget them. But the funny thing is that I don't remember any of the drill sergeants' names from AIT at Ft Gordon, jump school, or my "second basic training" when I did the AIT portion of OSUT about a year and a half later to retrain as an 11M . |

Fort Jackson SC, 1990
Drill Sargent Boyd Drill Sargent Ferell Senior Drill Small D.S. Boyd was a hell of a man. Squared away and made it his lifes purpose to make us that way too. Thanks D.S. Boyd D.S. Ferell was a raving fucking loony but taught us a ton shit on FTX about booby traps and small squad tactics. D.S. Small was a good man and never blew a gasket infront of the platoon. He would take your ass into the "torture chamber" and smoke you for an hour or two. I was in the torture chamber, I came out a broken, but smarter man 1st Platoon, Wolf Pack leads the way!! |
