I don’t think 10 and 13 are appropriate ages.[/QUOTE


When I was 9 years old my father (retired USMC 1stSgt and former drill instructor) took me to Parris Island to see this stuff live. His buddy was a current DI and he put on a show I’ve never forgotten.

My father was a DI in the late 1940’s after WW II. 30 years later Soldier of Fortune wrote an article that featured some of his disciplinary methods and interviewed some of the recruits my father trained. Pretty wild stuff.
