Story #2384

DS L, well if i could sum this guy up in a few words, it would be – Hes a fucking legend. Now he lead with an iron fist and destroyed us constantly for doing small things wrong, now every story on this page is usually around the same thing. But this will be a little different.

Our Platoon was bad at PT we had the lowest scores cause of people and DS L did not like that, so one Sunday from breakfast to dinner we got smoked, hundreds of 8 counts, fireman carrying dozens of times across the pit, but what he said i will never forget, “You all want to suck at PT fine, but im going to make you stronger, I never once failed a PT test because i NEEDED to get stronger, i will not let you fail, i deployed 14 times and never lost A SINGLE man, i led from the front always have always will. I cant even imagine me sitting in the back, cause once one of my men get killed i have to call their parents and tell them that i was leading them from the back and i let their kid die” and from that day on our PG enforced a PT session at night so the PT failures could get into better shape. It might not be funny, but just thought it would be a nice change to share a story about a DS that really cared about the Soldiers he was making.
