Well, the trainee is finally dismissed but as he walks away he does not execute a proper facing movement so he gets called back and the TI says "get down on your knees because i'm not climbing on a chair because you cannot execute a proper facing movement. So, the trainee gets down on his knees as the TI drills him on what his proper chain of command is...
Basic training is hillarious!

Those who couldn't get in need not be jealous, even if your recruiter did screw you...

Mail call>
Drill Sergeants (Army) or DI's in other services, stand in front of the platoon (group of 4 squads, and up to 48 personnel) and yells out a soldier's last name for them to come to the front and get their mail.
DS: Private Jackson!
Jackson: Yes Drill Sergeant, Moving Drill Sergeant!
DS: Private Hightower!
Hightower: Yes Drill Sergeant, moving Drill Sergeant!
DS: Private Hedgemond!
Hedgemond: Yes Drill Sergeant, Coming Drill Sergeant!
DS: I don't want to hear about your sexual escapades, Private!

A friend of mines husband was in the Navy with two boys with the last names Stain and Samples.
So during roll call when the drill sargeant called out "Seaman Sample, Seaman Stain"... the whole company would laugh, then have to do push ups...
"Do we have to do this EVERY morning?"

when i was in boot camp we had to ask permision to use the head(bathroom) to the DI (drill instructor) we had to say " recruit _____ requests permision to make a head call, SIR", well we were at the bottom of our squad bays, a three story building with stairs going up the middle, we were getting in formation to go to chow when a recruit goes up to one of the DI and says " recruit ____ requests pemision to make an emegency head call, SIR", the DI looks down at the recruit calmly and says "if it is and emergency were ar the sirens?" the recruit says "SIR?" the DI says agian "were are the sirens, and i want them loud, up and down the stairs twice, then into the head", so the recruit ran up and down the stairs making siren sounds up and down the stairs and into the head, it was so funny

Back in the 70's & maybe 80's, but not anymore... Shortly, you have to have an associates to wear E-6, a bachlors for E-7, and a masters for E-9.
Heck, you need at least a 70 on your ASVAP to keep up with the paperwork an red tape...
