      That CSM would never understand because he never did 1 cycle of basic training as a Drill Sergeant and doesn't have a drill sergeant badge, that's the worst explanation and he has no idea what it's like to have 300 trainees day 1. Let him do the job alone for a few weeks and he cannot yell. Using his leadership 101 Gummi bear tactic, ask the private nicely to please wake up 0430, pvt if u want to sleep in its ok my name is CSM Thornberry and I'm here to show u the way of the Gummi bear. Ask him why doesn't ranger school become kindled gentler too. Water it all down, if you show up we give you a badge for participation. I have 1 million reasons of why this CSM is not the ambassador of all Drill Sergeants and therefore him and his Commander will not last long and it will change during the next leadership change over.

    I went through Army Basic Training at Ft. Sill back in 2011. The shark attack only lasts for around 2 hours, literally a blip in time for basic training. At the end of the shark attack your arms are like jello from all of the push ups and overhead bag holding but it broke us down quickly to learn to listen to the drill sergeants and they are in charge.

      Couldn’t agree more, and I was at Sill in 2010! It’s merely to establish the fact that the DS’s are in charge, you know nothing because you in fact know nothing!!! The 1ST 100 yards, it seems, takes soldiers who know nothing about team work, re supply missions, or anything military and making them chaotically perform something they’ve never done.

    When I signed up - I had five living realities who all served in WWII - one in Korea - two in Vietnam - so I had a good idea of what to expect - got myself in really good physical shape (110 push-ups - 55 pull-ups - running 6 - 10 miles) - and I had a lot of exposure to firearms - cleaning arms and target practice - hunting animals (deer - fox - wild hogs) on the move - quail and wild duck taking off in seconds.
    I was told by my family that boot camp was a pretend version of a "prisoner of war."
    So I was told - keep your mouth shut - answer questions sharply - short and simple. Never laugh. Never smile (they will think you are gay) Never part your hair in the middle (they will assume you are a drug head).
    Basic training actually made sense to me - it was the final duty station is where the Army got corrupt - loads of lying from the top - and the buddy system was raiding the taxpayers - like off base living expenses for troops who were not married - taxpayers paying for troops to shack-up - just one example.
    I was not going anywhere in the landscape of boredom. So I got out and did really well.
    I even told the company commander - that I was certain - that the Army could win battles - but I did not think they will ever win a WAR.
    Hell, it turns out I was correct.
    I am not even going to guess at where this sissy-ass boot camp is going - but it has nothing to do with the reality of preparing for the conditions the enemy can establish.
    This nation will never win another war - but then as long as they stick to third world Underdogs - they can take comfort in never facing a counterattack.

So everything would gradually deflate and the elite would be left with their perfect and pristine Eden, finally free of all those troublesome "weeds" that just so happened to have built everything they parasitically took advantage of. And they would look upon it and say "look at all we have built, is this not testimate to our greatness? Truly it is the natural order. The strong will always dominate the weak. And there's only two things left at the end of the day, the strong, and the dead."

Literally could count the number of times I was punished with physical fitness drills on one hand. it was 8 - 4 PM classes and then marching maybe a half mile back to the barracks. Army bootcamp ... the drill instructors had a hill they liked to take us to for physical fitness attitude addressing. That hill was covered in grass when we started. it was nothing but dirty by the end of bootcamp. I recall near the end of army bootcamp of being sent to the hill and I made a offhand comment, "hello ground, it is me again". And even the drill instructors starting laughing. There comes a point where you just drop in the pushup position when I drill instructor walks by. I was literally reading tech manuals in that positon. After a while you don't even remember what muscle fatigue is. If you score anything less than an outstanding in your physical fitness test in bootcamp, the military did you a disservice and Uncle Sam definitely didn't get his money's worth out of you.

None of which produced anything credible. Nonetheless, this particular Marine was removed and moved elsewhere within the unit. Keep in mind the accused Marine was an E-5 with at least 8 years in as well as a combat deployment. The junior Marine(s) making the accusations had less than 2 years in. Although this is anecdotal, I'm sure you could find multiple instances similar to this one. This particular sergeant ended up committing suicide.

    Former Army Drill Sergeant here. I whole heartedly believe that creating mass kaos for new recruits upon arriving to Basic Training is a huge benefit.
    1. It give them a tiny sense of how to cope with outrageous situations and how to pay attention and work through something they have never experienced.
    2. Being yelled at never seemed to be the issue for the 3 years I was on the trail. Them number 1 issue was a lack of the recruit being in good enough shape, self discipline & heart.
    3. Recruits today are softer & weaker than ever. I was a Drill Sergeant back in 2005 - 2008.

    I certainly wouldn't want to be sleeping in a barracks with some unstable kid who didn't get screened out in the beginning, and instead cracks halfway through boot camp, putting everyone around them at risk.
    Not everyone is made for the service... the point of the shark attack is to weed out those that can't handle authority and/or stress, etc. without breaking down and potentially becoming dangerous, regardless of whether we/re in a draft or not.

      The softness of training is why veteran suicides are up, even though conflicts like Vietnam and the world wars were far more stressful than today. We aren't giving our men the proper mental fortitude to do their job and come back unflinching. It is now basically on them to find it on their own.

      what people don't realize that the "shark attack" is about punishing you for being a civilian- its about saying 'you are not a soldier you don't deserve respect until you show you can be a soldier' It helps to change the way people think and that is why they did it.
      The Drill Sergeant should not be "leading" them until they have proven themselves capable of being a soldier. That is why disrespect is so important to the military brainwashing system- its about breaking people down and remaking them into what the military wants them to be.
