[QUOTE="1/2 slam, post: 392484, member: 20694"] Chas1, Did you add recruits to your platoon as your training progressed? We would drop one for different reasons but add some that had been dropped from other platoons. When they were up to par with the training schedule they would advance with the next platoon. My DI's were Gil, Elrod and Seagriff. Seagriff was the bad ***. He bought a German Shepard pup and kept it in our barracks at night. Revelry was at 0400 and you had to be fully dressed, racks made, barracks clean and ready to line up outside, all with no lights. We had to crawl around in the dark feeling for the piles of dog crap, and clean them up before inspection. I saw Seagriff hit a recruit in the jaw because he couldn't climp the rope. Broke his jaw then called for a medic and said he fell. I watched him grab a M-14 from a recruit that was marching out of step, hit him in the forehead with the steel butplate, split his skull open then call for the medics. He was an animal. I can see discipline but he was sadistic. DI's like him are why we have the boot camps of today. [/QUOTE]
