I once heard R. Lee say that the best D.I.'s are at heart "entertainers", with all their chiding, chanting and mellow-drama in barracks. It's a comment I thought alot about since.

I'm certain that his inductees were not entertained, however, until after they finished basic.

I have never been in the military but have always admired them.

I have actually wondered the same thing, that Drill Instructors probably have a little bit of the actor in them.
