To be honest I did not get dropped a lot. Why? Because my drill sergeants were batshit crazy Vietnam vets, and I was scared to death of them. So I worked hard to do everything right. Still, I did get dropped and other interesting stuff during basic because we are not perfect.
This is what I am getting at. Privates are not as scared of their DS as they should be. I see them every day at work. I see the looks they give their DS sometimes and hear how they talk to their DS, and to be honest if I were their DS I'd make their life as miserable as possible for their entire 15 weeks of training here if they did some of the shit I have seen them do here. The DS's hands are tied though. They are mandated to follow specific guidelines now. The privates know that and they work hard to push the right buttons in order to see a DS get thrown off the trail. When I was in basic, we never even once considered hemming up our DS for something we didn't like. We had the attitude that this is how it is and suck it up and move on. But then guys like you, me and Tim are from a different generation.
