The aliens abusing the human pride is hilarious. The fact that it worked is entertaining enough for motivation. Spite being abused is proper motivation.
There's another one where post-FTL humans tap into a pre-FTL species's communication network and just taunt them for years to get them to develop FTL themselves so they can come tell the humans off in person. Wish I could remember the name of that one.
How was that first guy a "master trainer" to begin with? All he did was to point his soldiers at the exercise, told them to do it and expected maximum effort.
@@DeHerg "My newly started Master Trainer Carreer" propably explains it. He is just inexpierienced. Im no soldier, but a forklift operator. On my first day, i was doing everything by the book and followed my instructors words to the letter. Later i learned what can be safely modified and adapted to get faster/more efficient/better results
Nah, I reckon he was a real master trainer that didn't want to be promoted, and the brass made a deal with him to bring the test scores up, his way. The brass isn't smart enough to be a master trainer. That's what NCOs are for.
As an ex-soldier I can confirm that soldiers do the least work possible if they are allowed to. It takes an experienced platoon or squad leader to get the best out of their troops. One squad I recall, had a really keen corporal in charge who got the best out of his men by doing the obstacle course with them. Their motivation was phenomenal because they knew he didn't have to do it, in fact he was the only one to do so. Damn, but I wished he was MY corporal! BTW, this was the South African Defence Force that relies on corporals rather than sergeants during 1st phase Basic Training which is troop/squad based. Later during squadron or company training the sargeants and lieutenants become more involved, alongside the corporals.
@@davidtherwhanger6795 The Brits called it 'swinging the lead', in the South African Defence Force we called it 'feeling NAFI', as in No Ambition, Fuck-all Interest... The Romans probably had their own saying too.
If they where E-4 Mafia they would never have done any of that. They would have some story about how they were ordered by a superior to do some other task some where else... that just happened to be near a bar.
With the entire official global network reporting fake news, know that E-4 mafia is STRONG. And will not hesitate to do an E-5 job when properly insulted or gifted a couple of fuzzies
I laughed so hard at the "D*CK SHOTS". That was awesome. And the fact these Xenos figured out how too use Human Pride against us to get the results they wanted was a fantastic change of pace.
They missed the bits about experienced squaddies napping at every opportunity and having the gift of getting out of sight when any "opportunities to volunteer" for shit show at the horizon.
My face now hurts from all the grinning and chuckling hearing this story. As a former sailor, this style of motivation would have been excellent. This style would actually serve the US Military quite well in all branches. Thank you very much for this great story. Reading some of the comments below reminded me of that part containing the dick shots.
Same with any job that one does... do only the absolute bare minimum because the higher ups don't appreciate anyone going above and beyond or working to the absolute maximum
@@vexile1239 I hear you but actually disagree. Those PT tests were only pass/fail. Doing my best at things has usually been rewarded (even if just satisfaction), and I learn more that way. I also tried to pick jobs for experience not just pay. The pay did come.
Thanks for the laughs! This is a very entertaining and well written story! I saved it in my UA-cam Humor folder. Sometimes I want to watch or listen to something funny without having to spend time hunting for something in UA-cam, so I just dive into my humor folder to replay funny stuff. This story definitely fits well in this folder. I really liked the Neeku character, and his back story with humans. Thanks again for a very enjoyable story!🤣🤗
“Unless you’re a complete moron, in which case it’s better for everyone if you’re out.” If only we would follow that philosophy in reality. I understand tequila in a climate like that, but to be perfectly honest, tequila tastes like bile. A shame they didn’t have a sugarcane equivalent. A nice rum, now that’s a good one. And just in case anyone didn’t know, a klick is a kilometer.
I've read far too much BL recently and cannot help but ship this forming bromance of an older more experienced veteran with a serious post ptsd therapy and a fairly freah faced military instructor that has a stick up their rear about the proper way of things and test results.
The downside being that we only have drill sergeants at basic. Once you get out of basic there's nobody like that. The whole point is to help you learn how to deal with stress. Once you're in the real world, This is the standard. Yeah there are always a few high speeds, But they're not very popular. And getting sent to imitate basic basic troopers again? I guarantee they will blow off every test they can.
9:00 wait a minute, I CAN SPEEDWALK at that pace. I can *out-walk* the long distance _running._ For reference, this requires them to move at 1.38888... meters a second, which is roughly the average walking pace of a 50 year old. What a joke of a test.

Wait until Nooboo learns what "noob" means.

Money says he was actually the brass in charge of the base and this was all as much a clever disguise to train his trainers as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was true

In the US Military doing the least possible work you can get away with was some times referred to as Goldbricking.

No one can convince me that the humans in this story are not E-4 Mafia.
My thoughts exactly 😂 as soon as I heard "one dared another and things got out of hand" I thought of all the stories my dad used to tell me
If they where E-4 Mafia they would never have done any of that. They would have some story about how they were ordered by a superior to do some other task some where else... that just happened to be near a bar.
There is no easter bunny, no santa, no queen of england, and there definitely is no e4m

@@TheDreadfulDrifterthat’s exactly what they want you to think
Genuinely surprised one of the humans didn't ask what happened to they hit all 40 target
I find it funny that Beeku is ALWAYS "snacking" 🤣
Apparently he served with RDJ
Never pass up a chance to eat.
One of the many bad habits he got from living with human soldiers for so long.
I laughed so hard at the "D*CK SHOTS". That was awesome. And the fact these Xenos figured out how too use Human Pride against us to get the results they wanted was a fantastic change of pace.
He cheated, he didn't figure it out, he learned it from humans.

Oh so true I had a tree that I would hide in and take a nap in during downtime. You could only see me if you looked straight up from directly below.
@@nicholasroach880 good camo practice😸
If they ever do a Live action of this .. Then RDJ would be perfect for Beeku, Always pulling out food from somewhere.

Beeku reminds me of a Sergeant major,(British) or a Gunnery Sergeant(USA) taking a young Lieutenant under their wing.
His manners remind me of Sir Les Patterson, Australian Cultural Attache.
Can I just call you noob? I'm dead
That officer spent too long as an e4
Damn, I didn't know Beeku was chill like that
At every training "school" we had to PT test and qualify for stuff. We did minimums (or close). Everything above the standard is wasted effort.
Same with any job that one does... do only the absolute bare minimum because the higher ups don't appreciate anyone going above and beyond or working to the absolute maximum

@@ReptillianStrikeklick technically That's a reference to the k in kilometer.
If you think tequila is bad, you've never bought the right tequila. I feel sorry for you.
Beeku has either Brit or Aussies in his squad lol.
Or just US Marines. Or any Goddamn E-4s from any US military branch.
@@Roosauec maybe, but it’s more the casualness and liberal use of mate
Intergalactic E4 Mafia trainer.
This is one story I just got into 10mins... had to check the story wasn't going to end soon..half hour to go ... that's motivation rubbing off
For me it got better and better tho! ^^
@@DasHeino2010 agreed, good writer and narrator
I thought for sure the story was going to end after the first exercise! So glad it wasn't
Teaching someone how to train masterfully, without calling them "nube"😅
Loved this one. Definitely one of my favourites ones so far
Oh man, I like this one a lot.
Every caregiver in the world needs these methods.
I wonder if Nooboo will ever find out what Noob means. :P
Enjoyed this one most of all
Memories. That brought back a ton! Thanks for that!
I have to say I vary much enjoyed this one needed a good laugh
A most enjoyable spin.
I've read far too much BL recently and cannot help but ship this forming bromance of an older more experienced veteran with a serious post ptsd therapy and a fairly freah faced military instructor that has a stick up their rear about the proper way of things and test results.
I didn't get that vibe, but I DEFINITELY got that vibe from Beeku bro'ing out with Percy.
Absolutely fabulous
Beeku has an "Earth's food addiktion" (englich not my 1'st laungache)
he wanted to lower his ranking, by getting someone else up, and not getting noticed by "brass"...
this was... interesting
Reverse psychology is a nasty, underhanded tactic. 😂😂😂
Dam i really enjoyed this one.
This was wholesome somehow😂
Yeah this is exactly what we do and how to motivate us💯
good one
thoroughly enjoyable! As good as some of the best short sci-fi stories from recognized masters of the genre (and I read tons of them)
Man, this Beeku guy sounded like Soviet Dr. Livesey in my head. Would've loved if he bleeded into this recording 😂
Another really good one!
I was listening to this to motivate myself to do dishes. Simply bc of the name.
Holy shit if these guys were real military theyd be getting non-stop smoked by drill sargents
Unlikely. This is absolutely the E-4 Mafia and exactly how the grunts behave once they’ve left basic
The downside being that we only have drill sergeants at basic. Once you get out of basic there's nobody like that. The whole point is to help you learn how to deal with stress.

every once in a while, this is a good listen :-) . A+
Shit. They know about the double dog dare!
Listen here noob. Lmao.

What a joke of a test.
Is there more of this story???? I want more
👏👏👏👏👏
Think I had this guy as a DI in basic 😂
Clever Xeno
Ok, I liked this one too much
If you know you know
I am not 100% certain what specific grade it is... but I'm 90% certain he's a WO of some kind.
hey noob
"Sergeant Beeku" huh? Wouldn't be a Sgt Biko joke perchance?
All these story’s are crappy and insane
