Drill Instructors are turds. Ooh they can shout loud whoopysh!t. What the hell do they ever do that makes me want to follow their orders.

This is my second EvC post.

Actually I'm with Higgs on this one...I'd be more than willing to give a DI an ass-whooping if I got drafted into the Army (although not MtG in particular, as he isn't a DI

).

Or at least try to, anyway.

Actually my preferred method of provocation would be to stand there and act like a smartass, twist everything he says, stuff like that. Then if he gets in my face knock the **** out of him - even if the DI could kick my ass in a straight up fight, I'd bet money that if I got in a first strike my odds would improve considerably

I've been doing kick boxing since I was wee high, and also brown belt in karate, so I know how to deal a good can of whoop ass.

Plus some mates of mine who have been trained in unarmed combat have taught me loads.

Being a smart-ass would be kinda funny as DI's have the IQ of satsuma.

Yeah, I've been into Muay Thai and Vale Tudo for a while, both of which are extremely realistic combat martial arts. I don't generally fear the average 37 year old DI who invaded Grenada, or whatever

**MattHiggs** · January 18, 2002, 15:37

I must admit though the hand to hand combat they get taught is pretty useful.

David me lad, you and higgsy are living in a dream world.

Act like a punk, and you would be dropped before you put your hands up.

When I joined the army, I was good with my hands too, but a few Drill Sargents taught me a real lesson:

They are better.

You wouldn't stand a chance, and you would never get the first shot, I can promise you that, so drop the swagger, it ain't cutting any ice.

Make your life a living hell for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

There is no authority to run to, no court can help you, you will be beaten into submission.

Take a tip from someone who has been there, your not as tough as you think.

So says every smart-ass punk who thinks he can take on a DI. They all have the same view ... the sky.

**chequita guevara** · January 18, 2002, 16:41

My plan when the DI picked me for a combat demonstration . . . RUN!

Yeah the army'd sort me out, you I'd just knock you out if you even dared to shout in my face.

I've never passed out from laughing yet, so you're just SOL, old chap.

**poison_flower** · January 18, 2002, 18:41

I never have understood the military... it is one of those things that will remain mystery to me I suppose.

I can guarantee my DI wouldn't like me at all... I'm incredibly vain... and yes "I think the song is about me."

**Alexander's Horse** · January 18, 2002, 18:43

The funniest part is both Floyd and Higgs strike me as the kind of young guys who would start out full of lip and end worshipping the ground on which their Drill Sergeant walked.

And that's the way it should be

The last brown-belt I got in a fight with I knocked out in less than three seconds. He did land a couple of decent blows that raised pretty good welts, but that wasn't much compensation for being flat on the ground, temporarily paralyzed, and going wide-eyed as he lost his airway, then consciousness.

He was OK, though, because it was just a "demonstration." In a "real" fight, I would have finished the job, if there'd been any particular reason too. It was up to me, though, because there sure as hell wasn't anything *he* was going to do about it.

Mid to high dan blackbelts from serious schools are one thing, brown belts are just students who've been at it for a while if they're in a serious school, or who just bought the ****ing thing to impress themselves if they've gone into one of the gajillion belt factories out there.

Oh, and by the way, if you were in the Army and you ever hit a DI, you'd be looking at years of hell. Leavenworth will break the attitude of anyone. Simply running your mouth will also get you in more **** than you can even imagine exists in the universe - they *will* break you of it, one way or another.

That illusion would be very difficult to maintain in the presense of Evan.

*look, I got it back on topic!*
