That could be his attention to detail as well. Recruits are sneaky, undisciplined, nasty little creatures who will try to slack off if they think the DI isn't watching.

No, because you either pass and are selected, or you fail out and you aren't selected. But they don't call it "training".
We had a marine drill instructor when I was in basic. For paradeground training. It was awesome when we fucked everything up and he lost it. our other instructor should have been a stand up comedian.
Now I think about it it's probably his fault we fucked everything up
Thank you for your service

@Splinty walks around in tiger-stripe camo scrubs and an orange beret.
he only parks in veteran parking spots, even if there's two blocks of open parking between that spot and where he's going.
it's the principle.
Most of my naval career was spent on land. Only did 3.5 weeks on the boat and that was mostly getting told off by the fisheadsThank you for your service
Of course it was, you think they stand on the water to paint the boats?
Ship life suckssssssss
Harriers are cool, because Marines use them.
We sold them all to your Marines when they shit canned us. You guys just parked them in a desert. All the kit etc had been stripped, just airframes
We had them on the ship I was unfortunate enough to have to be on.
Same. I had to try and sleep under the ramp while those cunts took off. We were there to get jr pilots thier quals for landing on the carrier at night. Our commander had recently left so our XO, a pilot himself, was in charge.... Well he's the kinda person I hang out with.
After the pilots finished thier bullshit training he took them to the officers mess and got them shitfaced. During the session an alarm went out because the ship hit ground or something and it was action stations. Well our dear leader decided the harriers needed to leave and ordered all the drunk pilots to the flight deck. So off they went in flight suits and flip flops. A female jr rank on deck patrol wouldn't let them on and apparently caught some nasty words from them.
They had to apologise the next day, iirc they got her some biscuits.
While all this was happening I remember being in the mess thinking wtf the boat is sinking now? We weren't classed as ships company so we diddnt have to play all those silly games they like, so had no idea what was going on.
Next day when we heard about Kano and the pilots trying to fly off I almost died. Fkn dummies
Did someone say "maximum thrust Chief"This is where I worked. That long console on the left. It controlled the propulsion engines. I imagine they just use computer screens now.
Looks like some Star trek stuff
More like "Full ahead, 100% pitch" lol. Tech was definitely antiquated.
Shit stirrer
Modern technology is overrated. It's the same thing doing the same shit that happened years ago. Now it just costs more.

Tbh that wasn't a cheap project iirc, but still I just wanted to highlight old technology
Lol @ that motor starter.
The Future is the past.
Funny we call it old now, but we still used most of the basics of that tech in the 90's.
