I assume we are talking about GYSGT W.
He was the last person to adhere to "flag restrictions"
We loved him for it...
I was going to say... I personally saw him beat people in the grass on multiple occasions during black flag.
He was my class DI for aforementioned chow hall vomit incident.
Spekkio
He bowls overhand.
I believe it. Struck me as odd that he was so uptight about us knowing the regulations. When I was at OCS, he was the only DI without a good conduct medal.
The most epic RPT I ever witnessed was when the black ninja made his PT body bear crawl around the PT field for the entire duration of morning PT. His PT body must've been prior SPECWAR or something because he never quit or collapsed.
Crud...another casualty of the post-Vietnam era? I remember our many hours spent with Mrs. Leppert...AKA "The Couth Lady" at AOCS in 1971...covered all the niceties of eating at a dress table (all the different silverware, crystal, etc.), how to behave at a ball, courtesy calls, calling cards, etc. Wasn't any of it critical to national defense, I realize, but it was a brief respite from the rest of the day. Sorry to learn it's a thing of the past (along with courtesy calls, calling cards, etc., I imagine...).
Etiquette class was still there in 2000. That's how I learned that you are supposed to salute a lady. Chicks dig that shit. We also learned about calling cards and such, which was already outdated by then.
I don't remember if she taught us dining etiquette or not, though.

Genuinely pissed off, GYSgt S****** gave the class, on record, the longest beat down session seen in recent memory. Since a DI can only beat a class so long, he made up very creative RPT exercises for us to do while standing still then beat us some more. Anyone tell me if they can top this, but it literally lasted from the end of RLP at 1000 to dinner chow. We even had 2 week freaking 4 DORs thanks to just that beatdown. You could have sold concert T-Shirts.
Thinking "well at least that was behind me", I rolled into ***** the Destroyer's week 2 and lived through a 120 8-count body builder beat down.
That's what is so evil about DIs. The exercises they do seem so innocuous, but when you do 100 of them, your heart will pop.
I remember one time in the dungeon, we were being punished (went to the dungeon from the parade deck) for sucking at rifle drill, and we were doing bends and thrusts.
I figured, "Hey, bends and thrusts aren't that bad. I can do these for a while."
We got up to about 70 before people started faltering, which resulted in our starting again from zero. We reset the counter a couple times. Probably ended up doing over 150 of them. I NEVER imagined I could be so tired and sore from bends and thrusts. If we had gotten to 200, I'd have cried like a bitch.
Monkey fuckers? Easy. Do it for 10 minutes.....
No lunch?
Oh, he "fed" us lunch, soaking wet back in our week one poopy suits under the AC, by the numbers. I barely ate anything he didn't give a count off for. Once we were done, he put us back one line at attention for long enough so we didn't puke and picked up the epic beat down right where he left off. He never let up. One of his creative exercises during our "rest" was to stand on a hill and look at the sky. Seemed simple and we thought it may be over, until about over an hour when our shoulder muscles gave out and we were all in pain. Then he when back to beating us down. Two DORs later, it was the most brutal day I saw at OCS.
This made me think about OCS beatings we recieved and oddly one of the worst ones we got was when we were CandiOs. We put the poopies to bed and then Gunny Erwin had us go to the passageway and do silent jumping jacks (or "side straddle hops" as they called it) for about 20 minutes. It was awful. You think that jumping jacks are easy, especially in your 12th-13th week, until you keep doing them for 20 minutes. We all kept thinking that he would start the beating with those then move on, but we just kept on going..... I don't think Gunny Erwin said a word the whole time. Very surreal since he was rarely one to stay silent.
So is there anything you can possibly do to make these beatings easier before you go? I don't know any exercises that will build up muscles to endure staring at the sky for an hour...
Just be in the best physical condition possible. Be ready for mental games too.
