Ok so I have a BCT story. 06 in Fort Jackson, winter time. This story is not about me though, it’s about the Drill Sergeants who actually give a fck. See we had this private who had a sht end of stick kind of life before enlisting. Well for all I know maybe he still did have sh*t end of stick life afterwards.

Anywho, back to this kid and all of our DS’s. Give the kid the name Pvt Weak. We all see this kid barely able to lift himself out of his bunk, let alone begin to think about being a soldier. His DS’s kept the kids story quiet until halfway through BCT and then let it leak out. He was a couch sitter his whole life in his mother’s basement.

His number one go to video game?

You’re damn f*ckin skippy if you guessed Call of Duty. His mom finally says get out and do something with your life. So Pvt Weak enlists, and his recruiter let him through. Fast forward back to BCT and everyone is starting to get this kid’s story. Left alone this kid would have failed out day 0. The DS’s rallied around him though and pushed him to do better and better.

We get to our final APFT and the DS’s ask him if he wants everyone to know his final score. Biggest smile on Pvt Weak’s face that anyone has ever seen as he says yes. 12 pushups, 20 situps, and a 30 minute 2 mile.

Yea he was recycled but if not for those Drill Sergeants he would have never made it as far as he did. Last I heard about Pvt Weak is he went back through and was getting better.

Anyone want to say Drill Sergeants don’t give a f*ck? Better think back to this story.
