I love hearing comments about "boot camp" from people who have never been near the military.
There are quite a few reasons why people don't punch their drill instructors. In my experience, the people with "tough guy" attitudes who think they wouldn't stand for that treatment lose that attitude pretty damn quickly.
Most recruits, as @enoch pointed out, are already scared shitless from being away from home for the first time. Those with a little more life experience realize that its a game you have to play to become a soldier/sailor/airman and would be just as likely to attack their drill instructor as they would be to attack their interviewer for a desk job.
And they all know that if they make things more difficult than they actually are (argue, don't give it your all, etc.) the staff are going to make the whole group go through hell and they will be hated by their whole platoon.
Plus, these aren't conscripts, they are there because they want to be there, or they have no other option. Doing something stupid, like attacking an instructor because he yelled at them, is only going to make things worse.

A perfect example of why I did alternative civilian service rather than serve in the military; a few seconds into this the instructor would have been lying on the ground and I would have gone to the brig for punching a superior officer.

When I got the gist of the video I waited through the whole minute of it for Sgt A. Hole to get a gun butt to the gums. I am disappoint.

These points don't change the fact that you are all scum! Maggots who don't deserve to be in my beloved Core!

^ what enoch and skeeve said

as a marine vet let me assure you that boot camp, et al, is where the talk-the-talk 'tough' become the walk-the-walk truly tough, both physically and mentally -- you are first stripped of your dignity and soon enough earn it back, and more so, through merit

that said, this appears to be some kind of ROTC or JROTC event rather than a usmc drill instructor training marine recruits

I heard an interview with Dave (winner of last HK) when he was just about to start his first day's work at Araxi. He said yeah those things happen but what they don't show is that 80% of the time Ramsay tries to work with the contestants to make them better, he just gets pissed off when he feels they're not doing their best or they make the same screw-up over and over.

Having a background in the Army I see his technique as similar to a drill instructor. Believe it or not there's a point to all that shouting, if you're highly stressed you learn much faster and better and it's about the only way to completely shift a person's nature.

looks like a drill instructor was in there for 5 seconds. Suck it up and get a job ladies?

He's like a really lame marine drill instructor.

I want this to be great.
Edit/ If the drill instructors were Vulcan, I'd gladly join the Marines. Otherwise, probably not.

The military is not a place for people who have free minds and those that vote third party.


I have heard a story or two about an old friend that had a run in with a drill instructor.

The story was, my old friend knocked his teeth in, and was thoroughly discharged in two days.

We'll miss you, buddy, and I hope you drop us a line whenever you can. Boot camp is going to suck, but it won't suck that bad. The worst part: You never get enough sleep. The rest is all a mindfuck. Don't forget that. And don't laugh when your drill instructor says something funny like in 'Full Metal Jacket.' That was the demon I had to slay in boot camp, but it made my chest and arms stronger, I tell ya.

Take care, and we all appreciate your service to our country.

Hey Gunny...Maybe the Drill Instructor didn't tell you, but you can let go of your dick now.


NEVER!

Hey Gunny...Maybe the Drill Instructor didn't tell you, but you can let go of your dick now.

That is NOT karaidl! WTF is up with that???? Not everyone gets reprogrammed as well as jarheads-however, not many folks gets the luxury, of a drill instructor, though.....I am convinced, that the tlc-stfu, is the only real way, to drop unwanted excess, from the brain, and the body.

MarineGunrock, you rock-hard sunofabitch, that rock yer sittin' on, wankin' around on the puter, will soon turn to flubber, and you'll only have the memories of being able to fit into yer old fatigues.....(forget the dress uniform- ancient, fucking, when I was chiseled, history!

(glory in thy flabtacular omnipresence)
