I mean what the heck is a DRILL Sargent supposed to do?

Never forget at dear ol Lackland, our drill area was near where the “ladies” marched with their bulldyke Drill Sargent. She was overheard loadly telling the girls that there was 5 miles of d___ at Lackland and if they didn’t get their heads out of their a____, they would not get an inch of it. Of couse she didn’t bother to also tell them they were feeding us 5 lbs. of potassium nitrate a day EACH.

I call BS on your story. It is spelled 'Sergeant', and the USAF calls them TI's. Anyone who has been through BMT knows this.

So, were you ever even at Lackland or did someone else sell you this pile of BS?

I overheard the exact same comment circa 1990. Those DI’s need to get some new material.

And do you foolishly think they also fed us something to make us constipated? Rumors about being fed salt peter were just that - rumors. Something to explain a curious lack of sexual arousal in 18 year old men - but the truth is that they have the recruits in an animal state of fear so much that you cannot relax enough to take a sh*t - let alone get sexually aroused.

Either I built up a tolerance after a couple weeks or have an irrepressible libido - because soon after I relaxed enough to defecate - my other bodily functions also returned to normal.
