Ok, last one for real. At least for tonight, lol.
After that he yelled "ARRRRRRGH!" and threw it up in the air. The bird flew away.
Smoke = Physical training.
When the song ended he laughed, yelled "Carry on!", and walked out.
I figured that meant yes and used the phone. I didn't get stomped so I guess I was right.
Good guy drill sergeant. He totally gave me polypro because I was freezing to death.
Well... It was good.
My DS was a notorious poon hound. We had reporters come to Benning to learn combat survivability and apparently he banged one. Some blonde, never got the name.
Ok, I'm out. Goodnight Imgur.

TuckersHuman
I asked my training instructor, (Air Force basic) to describe his service dress ribbons, I really should've thought twice about my phrasing
TuckersHuman
He physically described every single one (color and design) for 20 minutes. In hindsight, I had it coming

Was it really good chocolate milk? Or did you just tell him what he wanted to hear?

Anything not salty is good during basic.

Eh, my DS told me to eat everything in sight...I weighed 115, now I'm 204.

Idsertian
actually care and want you to be the best damn soldier you can be, or they're being total cunts because they can be total cunts. 2/2
Reg06
Both. Being a DS is a tough job and requires a lot of very long days, and weeks. It'll turn anyone into a cunt.
Idsertian
Fair enough. Can't argue with that.
mostokaymedic
A little from column A, a little from column B.
Idsertian
So you're saying they become column C? :D
PaulsonPieces
Both. They have to be assholes to mentally and physically break you so they can try to mold you into a soldier.
FallWind
From my experience in the German army: Both. They were cool guys after basic was over but enjoyed yelling at people regardless.
Idsertian
I wonder how many have had to take time off due to yelling themselves hoarse? Or do DS's get voice coaching so that doesn't happen?

Why do they get to have Nintendo DS's in bootcamp these days?
TheDeadWillWalkInMyMemes
Good fucking question.
Acidburner93
When i was in basics i bought myself one nintendo ds, played legend of zelda all day. Heheh. He was referring to drillsergeant tho
TheCrowFather
And we can see who's lying because no time in any basic are you able to get to a bx/px to buy a ds, let alone any time to play it.
Acidburner93
did not, i bought it impusively after going to the eye doctor to get my glasses. :>

You know air force has extended meal time and gives out protein bar now because from the TIs,it's because trainees were having the enoguh

Ya it's boot camp tho, so you don't have much a choice but to be overly early to shit
Mooboy2000
yeah... if you're early, you're on time... if you're on time, you're late... if you're late, it better be because you are dead.

If you're on time you're ten minutes late

Also, tell your friends to decorate the envelopes to your letters... They love the creativity!
FaeryGothGirl
Yes, especially hearts and rainbows... Makes every DS all warm and fuzzy to see how loved the trainees are
CaptainMustache
Also, they love it when you show up wearing a branch appropriate t shirt, especially the one the recruiter gives you.

Lulz c-call em sir. Call em sir. They love being treated as officers. Unless you are going to marines then bro is acceptable
DogitheWallcrusher
Don't call them sir in the Navy or Chairforce, you call them by their insignia. Sir is used for officers. You use petty officer or chief!

... Air Force accepts Sir/Ma'am for anyone higher rank than you. No, it's not in the EFS, but try finding an Airman who doesn't.
SheWhoImgurs
They love it when you get physically close to them. It shows them that you're not afraid.

Make sure to begin and end every sentence with Sir. It's called a Sir Sandwich and they think that shit is delicious, makes you look good!

I want to learn the "BIRD." trick.
JohnnyCarson
Ok. All you need is a rock and a bird. The rest will come naturally.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
First your soul must in sync with the world, and start communicating with the birds.

I hit a bird with a rock once....of course, I was tossing a handful of gravel into a flock of seagulls, but I hit one!

I have no idea why your comment was downvoted. This was funny as fuck!
IAmTheBadW01f
I mean, it was kinda random cruelty to animals....which is a sign of a sociopath.....so who knows what will happen if it gets downvoted ;)
helicopterpenguinsex
Fuck seagulls man. They are made from God's butthole. I say kill them all!
IAmTheBadW01f
They also poop on everything, especially when people toss them bread.....it was amusing seeing what they would eat though....
