Probably hasn't changed much since '85. DI screaming as soon as the door on the bus from the airport closes. Yellow footprints, more screaming DI's, read a bit of the UCMJ on a billboard, msDI's, inventory and sign for a seabag full of 782 gear, the "if you have anything growing on your head that you do not want cut off, put your finger on it",msDI's, "this won't take long, did it" haircut. (Just insert msDi's at 10-15 second intervals for the next 48 hours, then at random intervals for the next 78 days.) One set of funny colored clothing and "WTF do I have to wear these?" boxer shorts. Classroom setting, filling out paperwork, boxing up anything that relates to the world outside of MCRD. Couple hours of sleep followed by chow before everybody else on base, eggs shoulda been in a glass. Endless mob-marching while being instructed in proper close order drill. Re-taking the ASVAB in a stupor after a couple days of sleep deprivation, followed by another battery of advanced testing if you score high on the test. Never a dull moment, either marching or receiving instruction when not filling out paprerwork.
Yes I realize it's a run-on but that is what the whole first week or so, called "receiving" is. It is probably the foundation of the breakdown phase of the behavior modification process.
BTW the screaming DI's referred to here are just handling receiving. He'll probably get to meet his DI team today if enough recruits have arrived.
