Sometimes it's the senior DI, who does less yelling and plays the father role, hearing complaints and offering tough-love consolation when homesickness, tired muscles and Dear John letters take their toll.

All I can say is that, if that's the case, the Corps has radically changed since I was in. My Senior DI was more of the GySgt. Hartman type than a "father figure."

Is this a positive story ?(seems mostly positive) of setting the table to get at the bad apple Drill Instructors ? ( Drill Instructor not D.I.)

Semper Fi !

the DIs do everything the recruits do, only better.

Story is bogus! Never once did I see a D.I. do pushups, situps, jumping jacks, or wash pots and pans, peel potatos, do KP or scrub floors.........

Gods don't do the things mere mortals do........

” but because the DIs do everything the recruits do, only better.”

I never saw a female that was my equal to what I was in basic.
