I have a little time on my hands, so I will share another amusing story from BMT.
"Welcome to Hell Boys"
Let me set up this story first.
In our 1st week of training, we had a trainee who strained his arm while we were all pushing. He ended up going to Wilford Hall(Medical center) and not coming back. He wrote a critique on our TI, and this was our TI's 27th critique. He had to go on a weeks leave away from us, and this did not make him happy. He was extremely pissed and felt as though we backstabbed him. When he left, his last words were: "I'm going to come back while you are all asleep, and bring hell with me."
Well, we he had a female TI, Technical Sergeant Cortez, look after us for a week. She was awesome and taught us alot. And yes, she could still rip us a new one just as good as any other male TI.
A week passed by and when Technical Sergeant Cortez was leaving one night she said, "I got a present for all of you tonight." And proceeded to leave while laughing to herself.
Well... We all went to sleep at our normal schedule and two trainees were on Dorm Guard(Keep accountability and make sure no one is doing any funny business). Anyways, they hear something near the fire exit and see our TI along with another TI(Who was also a hellbringer) come through the door. They proceeded over to one of our Student Leader's beds and got right in his face while he was asleep and then yelled, "WAKE UP CARVER, WAKE UP!" And then looked at the two trainees on Dorm Guard and said, "WELCOME TO HELL BOYS!"
All of us awoke, but didn't move. They went from bed to bed finding things wrong. One person didn't untuck their sheets at the foot of the bed, so that in the morning they had less work to do. Our TI responded with "You poptarted your bed you lazy little moron!" He made the kid get out of bed, and then proceeded to flip the bed. Everyone else in the bay with "poptarted" beds started kicking their feet to make them unpoptarted. He dumped our portfolios(what we keep our school work in and what not), and had people open their security drawers. Once opened, if they didn't take their security tray with them, he'd grab it and throw it across the bay.
He want to the other bay and the two TI's got on either end of this one trainee's bed, and started bouncing it back and forth. He was bouncing so high, kids on the top bunk could see eye to eye with him.
After hell was unleashed, they left. We all knew our TI was back for good. None of us knew what to expect.
Well, the next morning myself and 17 other trainees went to KP duty(Work in a kitchen to feed the Squadron). While we were gone, our TI came back again. He came up to the dorm guard door and put his ID up to the window. Now keep in mind, this window is about 1X1 feet and the glass is supposed to be bullet proof. Well, the dorm guard wouldn't let him in. And our TI started banging on the window. He then brought his palm back and slammed it into the window, shattering it. The Dorm Guard shat himself, and then let our TI in.
Well we came back from KP duty, and as we were walking up the stairwell all we saw was the shattered dorm guard window. We all stopped for about 3 minutes, looking at each other in a sort of "I'm not going up there" kind of mannerism. Well, we ended up going up there, we were let in by a terrified dorm guard, and all the lights in the bays were out. All we were told is, "He's back. Get in your PT clothes and get to sleep quick."
No one got a good night's sleep that night. It appeared as though our TI became crazier than ever before. And this was only the middle of the third week.
.......
That's story #2 for you, I'll try to keep them coming.
P.S. We have these 4 count pushups where we would say "One, Two, Three, Four, I, Love, the Smoke, House." Each word was either an up or down movement. Last night I awoke to myself in the pushup position, doing this pushups on my bed. I was working out in my sleep.
