I have a kid home right now on RA, DI's still do. The purpose is to show you that your actions have consequences, and not necessarily for you.
People can take alot of abuse for themself, but it's alot harder to watch other people being abused on your account. Unless you're a sociopath.
You know one thing they did do away with recently? "race cars" or "scuzzing" or wahtever your DI may have called it. I think someone was injured. Not sure if it is permanent or temporary.
I'm sure they do but I swear I remember that weren't supposed to. Maybe I am remembering wrong. It was almost twenty years ago now.
No more scuzz brushing the bulkhead? That definitely helped getting you in shape. I am sure it worked a lot of your leg muscles.
Remember, your DI's task is to make you into the best recruit possible so you can become a Marine. It's not personal, even when it feels like it is. Keep your head in it and keep that in mind even when you feel like there's not a single thing you can do right - that's part of the training. You'll never feel so much pride as when you can call yourself a Marine!
I will add that you are a chump for signing up, but do take advantage of the vastly improved G.I. Bill, and if for whatever reason you become a lifer dog, contribute as much as you can to the TSP. and if you do choose the lifer route, go officer and get paid for your trouble.
