Military vets,and current members, tell me about your basic PSG??

Question

SFC Everett "Zeke" Sutton, Combat Infantryman, airborne, My first reaction was, "we're f----d!" But as time went on, we learned, do what he expects and he leaves you alone. At graduiation, when he looked at us and smiled and said "well done, Echo 13-4, 1st platoon"' we felt we could kick the daylights out of Godzilla!

Answer 1

My basic training drill sergeants weren't decorated, but they got the job done. My first platoon sergeant though had been in 16 years, had a CMB with a star, and had a soldier's medal. He was a great leader, and pushed all of the medic section to do their best. When we deployed to Iraq in March of 2003, we were ready.

Answer 2

In basic I had four drill Sgts that I will remember forever. Our Senior one scared me when I was on the bus to our barracks because he told us to close our eyes because this was the last sleep we would get. He was the best candence singer around and to this day I have found no NCO who called candences better. My second Drill was a weapons expert and killed lots of us during mock training exercises it was fun because we always tried to catch him but could not. The next Drill SGT had fun terrorising us new recruits because he was young and infantry he came up with crazy ways to "smoke us" and sometimes punished us for no reason at all. But the one time I though he was going to say something sacastic he did not. On our graduation day he signed my photo board with words of encouragment because he new basic was hardest on me ( I was the slowest in the whole company ). But when I told him he tried to make me cry that was a mistake. I paid for that. Lastly my most toughest drill Sgt was Drill Sgt Walters. She was from the Virgin Island with a thick acient and she smoke us females worse then the males ever got it. What was worse is that she was 40 so you could never complain about anything because she would do it faster and 10 times better. She put fear in us females bcause she would smoke us for any little thing. Yes, the males feared the brown rounds but when we saw the green shorter Drill SGT hat coming we knew it was her. She believed us females had more to prove and need to get smoked because American society has allowed us to be weak and we had to prove we deserve to be soldiers like the men. We did twice the work sometimes. She never wanted to hear crying or whining even on our "time of the month." She took no **** from any soldier male or female. The worse time is when we low crawled for 2 hours in the rain in the sand and mud. That sucked. But she was hardest on me. Because I sucked at running, at mostly everything so she pushed me. And now I thank her. All 4 of them made me into the soldier I am today and I am serving this country in Iraq only 1 year later since I graduated. I needed them more than I realized at the time.

Answer 3

it is not your decision, nor ours. that's the guy. in the previous, 1000's of people who served in a armed forces grew to alter into Witnesses (or Bible scholars, as JW's have been then ordinary), and getting to grasp too that Jehovah hates killing and violence, they gave up their activity as component to the armed forces. there have been Witnesses in prisons at that element too. And if the guy is energetic in the reality, with sufficient know-how, he can undergo some years or months in detention center.
