I have trouble believing that the military can’t control recruits in training.
lol
I can tell you’ve never been in the military, then.
Oh I haven’t. But isn’t the discipline pretty strict? I mean I’m sure they get all kinds of randos enlisting, but aren’t they controlled very strictly during their training, to prepare them to follow orders well later?
I’m genuinely curious here. Feel free to educate me.
Naw, people are people no matter the situation. If you were an asshole before you join it's not like you'll just not be an asshole. You gotta make a choice to change and some people absolutely don't take that path.
And you'd be surprised what people will do knowing the consequences. Some people really just don't give a fuck lol
For example, while on restriction for getting a dui, one guy was told to clean the company commanders office. Took that as an opportunity to stand on the officers desk with a mop and cartoonishly slosh water over all his paperwork / mop the computer ect ect. He only got 30 more days of restrictions for that.
Feel free to ask me whatever if you're curious.
Boot camp was filled with some of the funniest shit I ever experienced in my life. Sometimes you just take the PT punishment cuz the laugh was worth it. Sometimes your drill instructor even breaks.
