What year/base did you go through bootcamp?

First thing you hear in the Marines is this, "welcome to Paris island Marine corps recruit depot, the first word and last word out of your filthy sewers will be sir! Do you maggots understand me!?" Difference between drill sgts and drill instructors as night and day in a lot of areas, but they are all evil lol.


In the Army, if you call your Drill Sergeant "sir" he will politely explain to you that he is not a "sir" because he works for a living. Sometimes there's cake and coffee after the explanation but not every time.
