US Army tells Drill SGTs "No more screaming" 

Hes not wrong. I try not to think about it because its too easy to get worked up but that kinda rage is real and justified. The Military has 3 primary missions and everything else is secondary to it. 1. Put bodies in the ground. 2. Support the people pulling the triggers and dropping the bombs. 3. Train to do the first two. Everything else comes secondary to those objectives. If your not a door kicker that doesn't mean your job isnt important because what you do allows them to do what they do.

The only drill sergeants that screamed in my company were the idiots tbh

@@HeGotsaSnipa2, have you deployed to an active combat zone? Many of those Drill Sergeants likely did and understand combat than some young, dumb private. Trust me, I was like you when I finished Basic and AIT. Then, I deployed and realized, I don’t know shit. My family and myself are thankful for those Drill Sergeants as their harsh and stressful lessons ensured my brothers, sisters as well as myself, came back home. Sadly, I saw what was already occurring back in 2015. The discipline and respect levels started to shift. The caliber of Privates coming into the unit was atrocious. I am glad I got out when I did. As the next conflict that we fight in, there is going to be more dead because they freeze under the stress.

well you don't know if they're gonna yell at you or tear your head off. suspense is worse than the actual event in itself.

That's because the effective instructors don't let up on the intensity just because their volume suddenly shifted. If anything I'd use that to move in up close and personal and then explode in volume to get the point across.

What about the malicious smile?

👍

But that change of volume and pace is only effective when you get used to expecting the yelling in the first place.

Goes to show that exporting democracy is often times a fools errand, especially when the citizens receiving it are not ready to fight for it. Afghanistan was a political failure in the end: Afghans did not see the value of living and dying in a democracy. The US and Western militaries were holding the government on life support for decades and there was no end in sight.

Last rant made bust a nut. The new trainees we get in ait… smh. They freakin piss me off. I don’t cuss because of personal beliefs, but boi I know how to make them cry.

im a different side of the Pond and you probably know our training teams are not so how should i put it forthright in their views at times them being quieter actually made the times when they came in kicking and screaming bagpipes playing and shovels being smashed into each other much more intimidating and heart pumping than if i had it every day having it everyday just desensitises you too it having it when needed actually changes you. no need for ohh would you please grab your rifles. but clear orders without the red faced screaming in your face means that your mind actually changes when you get screamed at means you know shit hit the fan and your having to go

Right?? Like they need to build a tolerance to stress because combat is fucking stressful and they need to be able to cope.

Junk like this always creeps in after a big draw down and a Democrat majority. Similar examples happened in the late 90's.

In combat you're met with gunfire, explosions, grenades all coming your way not some insufferable dude with a higher rank screaming at you for no reason whatsoever.

He was also senior DS so his lowers did the yelling for him. Cool guy really.

First moments in theatre. Anyway, yelling is still yelling weather it’s a lot or a little. The yelling toughens you. Maybe not you necessarily but there are people in bct that have never been yelled at and need to be yelled at to toughen them up. Remember, it’s not all about you. It’s about your country first and foremost and at the same level, the men and women next to you and then and only then is it about you.

i agree. i went through boot in 2006 & we got the FMJ treatment for all of red phase and considering some of the training done in the later phases i do think it was & still is a necessary evil. By the end of red phase if we were given a lawful order we just instinctive did it, no questioning, no joking around. This type Fear based discipline is required for the more dangerous training exercises. I could see a lot of serious accidents occurring during training events like the 300 meter night-fire low crawl or the grenade range because someone hesitated or wanted to joke around due to the drill sergeants not being allowed apply sufficient preemptive & corrective behavioral training during red phase.

Same. The military as a whole. The only way to take down America is from the inside though...so it makes since that they've targeted the school curriculum and the Healthcare system...and are continuing to work on the nation's defense.

It’s a travesty.. been going on for years- just like anything else with the government they’ll chip away a little bit at a time.. The ‘surge’ (massive enlistment after 9/11) was what I would consider peak standard for how difficult the training was- this makes sense because you’d be off to war or in the works rapidly.. slowly but surely they’ve (brAssholes) have been implementing restrictions in training over the years- to think, it started as simple as limiting the amount of push ups can be given at a time, or Drill Sgts being required to hand out ‘safety cards’. It really makes me wonder about the next generation of soldiers and how far we’ll go with things Just like this.. I feel for the Drill sergeants here, that’s probably one of the most demanding roles in the entire army.. but let’s go ahead and make it harder on them. Makes complete sense. Welcome to the new Army- where it’s just like summer camp and you can do whatever you want without fearing for your life.

In Canada, If we "Offend" them we have to give them a time out card they can flash at us to let us know we hurt their feelings. True story.And they get a 15 minute time out . I wanna see them try that on the Russians or Chinese.

Break down and rebuild stronger.

The more you sweat in training the less you bleed on the battlefield. It's equally as important to get their minds right by being hard on them, as it is to getting them physically strong enough.

@@tacochocolate1080 ok..I get that but due to actual studies a large amount of people where getting it.. you say the army isn't for you then but anything can trigger PTSD or start PTSD in the brain it's not something you can turn on and off and for a lot of people the unnecessary screaming daily triggers that. So in your opinion there should be even LESS of an army than there is now Bec most should leave due to the mental traumas caused in bct as China outnumbers us already by 500 million...see how that's not effective thought process

Somewhere these pussies forgot the the purpose of the military is a giant apparatus designed to turn the enemies of the nation into red mist. Our leadership continues to be a fucking embarrassment. It's insulation instead of inoculation. If someone can't handle the stress of being screamed at, what makes them think they'll be able to keep it together when shit gets serious?

Almost like teaching them to think, react and not freeze in situations that make the normal person panic is part of training a soldier.

I'm 22 and I hate my generation. I hate the state of the world everyone's going to soft and letting the world collapse

Yeah...... I'm glad I'm not in the us

The only true thing we all have in common is suffereing.

Every generation since 1775 has accused the "new" Army of being too soft. War is not a one-size-fits-all and each is fought differently, and when a new one breaks out, the Army will adapt and do just fine, like it always has.

That's funny. Where does most yelling, screaming, and smoking happen? Garrison. You know how much of my MOS (11B) I learned in garrison? Zero. This new generation is gonna have the same issues early GWOT had, the NCOs have no combat experience but think theyre tactical geniuses and are the deadliest thing since poison gas. I as an E3 had the same amount of combat experience as 99% of my rifle company when I first deployed.None. So the prep for combat stuff is garbage, because none of them know combat. They'll learn from this the way GWOT learned. There was massive reshuffling of NCOs after the first deployments because some people had no business in leadership. I've seen privates take fireteams and E4s take squads because the NCO couldn't be trusted and there's no true test of leadership until the SL is hiding under his vehicle while his squad is assaulting the OBJ. If you remove the ability to allow the NCOs to be toxic, you change the culture.

By then it'll be to late. Thousands if not tens of thousands of Americans will be dead due to poor training and lack of discipline

They should ask all the guys who snap and end their own lives alone in the barracks; I'm sure they could answer how well toxic "order and discipline" prepared them.

Me too, brother. D-1-5, Ft Dix Jun-Aug '84. The Shark Attack is a rite of passage that should be preserved. If Joe can't take stress in training, how can we expect him to perform when shit gets real downrange? Absurd.

Don't worry, when the rounds are flying and the ordinance going off around the zoomer soldiers...all the times their drill instructors politely and gently asked them to pay attention to the demonstrated battle drill will come flooding back in the moment of chaos. They'll just "know" what to do when the enemy is refusing to be polite to them, and handle it like real soldiers. -_-;

Seriously, man. I was such a goofy recruit, I am glad the DS were hardasses. God help us all.

I've never been in the military but in boot camp being yelled at and possibly slapped is something I would expect but a Nice Drill Instructor would make me feel nervous about Screwing up a Job and a yelling Drill Instructor has taught that Job a thousand times or more and that's the type I would want and it makes me sad AF for these new Generations they are so soft.

I'm military retired and to this day...30 something years later...I still remember all of my drill sergeants' names (well, just rank and last name), the smoke sessions, and yellings. THAT is how much of a positive impact basic training and those drill sergeants have on soldiers.

Basic in 92. Thank you DS Dobynes, Leslie, and Salas.

Damn right, I'm part of Gen Z and there's no reason to change the military and what the Drills do. People need to learn, to toughen up. Not become softer. Like you said, the only father-like experience they'd ever have.

Agreed. I did a cadet program before I went to BCT and while of course that didn’t mean I was perfect I was already accustomed to being uncomfortable and stressed. Even here at the fire academy it never stopped, the instructors will yell at us to get moving cause every second wasted is someone’s property or life. Stress builds confidence so when shit hits the fan were already prepared to deal with it. And your last point of hating the stress and loving the college lifestyle couldn’t have been more true heh. I’ve only just started in the army but it’d make no sense to eliminate yelling or just applying stress in general to trainees and stuff.

CAN CONFIRM!

I'm a dense motherfucker. I need to be yelled at and criticized to do better.

Oh it is, believe me cause I've been witness to it.

It’s like when dad got MAD MAD. The silence before the storm.

Whispering, while smiling

My DI did that once. Whole platoon collectively shat themselves. He went in the house. Then the Kill Hat walked away. Then the knowledge hat came up... Cover - off. We were collectively destroyed with silent mode engaged. We were different after that night. DIs knew that they could embarrass and piss us off - and we would execute harder, faster. Stronger. Louder.

"God father" generation kill

Great to hear that you were never yelled at by any Drill Sergeant. That's why you meant, right? Never, by anyone. Right? _Riiiight?_

@@rogerborg that's right sir. My instructor made sure that everyone one else was able hear and learn about my mistakes. Since he was only brims length away from my face I could hear him better than everyone else.

this is basically the same message that LtCol Stuart Scheller got thrown into the brig for.

You’re such a badass holy fuck 🫡

Mothers for America…..those Skanks

are people really so soft they cant handle someone yelling at them, but they think they can handle combat? I'm not even in the military and I know that's not going to work

@@Splintr1322 yes.

@@Splintr1322 Yeah, we had people quit in zero week because they couldn’t handle the pressure. It’s good they get weeded out early but it makes you wonder what they thought was gonna happen when they showed up for BMT.

I agree well done Drill Sergeant

this is why russia, china and the rest of the world arent worried about the US anymore…its so soft and pussified that they no longer pose a threat.

Russia, China, Iran, and N Korea likes this comment.

It hurts man. We're not focused on making hardened men and women anymore. It shows across all branches. Stupid woke brass trying to fix a working machine.

@@nicholaslennon Imagine joining the army knowing full-well that you could possibly deploy and face bombs, mortars, chemical weapons, or even just bullets- but you can't handle a little bit of screaming for a few weeks.. this shit is mind boggling.

@@scumbaggo What's nuts is the lives of others are in the hands of these new recruits. Untested recruits. Marksmanship only goes so far in war.

did those feelings ever get hurt though that the command re wrote your intructors handbook to make it so you didn't have those feelings anymore? No? Didn't think so

@@piercehaugh1583 never would have even THOUGHT about going anywhere with them. And i was 24 when i went through.

@@robertbrunner4728 i bet you didn't. Shit man hearing this sad news just pisses me off more that i had to deal with more adversity as a civilian than most military folks will have to go through. thats not right

@@piercehaugh1583 no it is not

I'm surprised we didn't around the country hear all of them collectivly scream WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! As the order got to their desks.
