People like to say that DI's and DS's stopped havng that kind of authority back in the 1990's.

MY DI's did in 1986. In fact, I was going through Training while they were filming this movie. The DI's were PISSED at these movie wanna bees. They told us if we ever "eyeballed" these movie shits our assses would be "diggin in the Pit" till our lungs exploded. WE had to evacuate our Building so they could film the Barracks scenes. 1st Bn Building to the far right as you look at them from the parade deck.

One of our "pick ups" that got sent back in training to our platoon tried to go to the officers and complain about how he was being treated. He caught a flashlight to the forhead in the middle of the night. Dumb fuck was probably the only one who was sleeping that night cause we all saw it happen.

I remember when I went to MEPS and was sworn in and all that good stuff. Right before I was sworn in they took us one by one into this red room that had a table and two chairs. A chair on each side of the table, where a First sargeant sat on one side and I sat on the other side and proceeded to try and explain Clinton's new policy on the don't ask don't tell policy and he got so pissed at me because I kept telling him I'm not gay why do you need to explain this to me. Not realizing the intention of what he was trying to explain. It was rather humerous. Do they still do that in meps any of you new recruits out there? :D

Those where my days to. The DI's, not just marine DI's where all like that, they could call you ever name in the book and piss you the hell off, try to raise a hand at them or swear you got your ass kicked.
The DI's I had where all Nam vets Rangers and Special Forces Today People I have talked to Have it to easy and they say so themselves.
If you disobey and order they give you some kind of missed training, I am not sure what they mean by that. If you disobeyed an order in my day, Either everyone payed or you payed dearly. Example Low crawling in the rain with underwear on with a DI on your back every inch of the way.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: How tall are you, private?
Private Cowboy: Sir, five-foot-nine, sir.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high! You trying to sneak an inch in on me?
Private Cowboy: Sir, no sir.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Bullshit, you look to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's ass and wound up a brown stain on the mattress.

CLASSIC! What a great film...

I was doing my potential NCO's course when they were getting ready to film this movie. It was at Basingbourne which at that time was divisional HQ. The cadence singing scene in the finished movie when they're running past the barracks was where I was barracked.
