RDS didnt have to do ANY PT by saying "Just Kidding" after he goosestepped his way across his quarters with his DI's cover and sunglasses.

I always assumed the DI and his buddies laughed about that a lot when they were in their caves at night eating babies....

NEVER "call-out" your NCO support channel to the Sergeant Major of the Army.

Being forced to attend a SMA "sensing session" with hundreds of enlisted members to have an open chat with the new SMA. Our NCO's told us to listen - not talk.

The SMA asked if there were any questions - a young PFC stood up an asked: "SMA - why are my NCO's all f^%$#d up?"

The bleachers around this kid parted like the Red Sea.

Before we all cleared out the last thing I heard was: "Son - who is your 1stSgt?"

I can just picture some little indignant moron asking that question. You really wonder if he thought this would get him something other than a whole lot of deserved hell. I suppose he might have been stupid enough to think the SMA would go over to his company and "straighten them out" for him......

At least when I pulled my dumb stunt in basic, my misery only lasted a few hours. The next day, it was never mentioned and my life was back to the same insanity as everyone else's. This guy's life had to be hell for a long, long time.

I suspect the answer is that the NCO's latrines were in the wrong place and needed to be moved double time two miles down the road, one bucket at a time. And the PFC with the diarrhea of the mouth will be on the moving committee. The old latrine is now the place for pushups. Guess who got to test it for firmness?
