| Just SurvivingVoices in the ghostly machine 1.1.0Copyright © 2000 by Emperor Xan (Zhextyl) Department of HumanitiesPsychology/Sociology Section For: Chief EngineerSubject:: Voices of the indoctrination, part 3. The following are transcriptions of comments I overheard while in training sessions. "What the hell did you just say, maggot? Drop! All of you, you're going to be pushing this cube until I get tired. By the time I do get tired, you'll have pushed this cube into another one."- Just about any Drill Instructor. "Thank you, Drill Instructor""Don't thank me, son, thank your recruiter."- A common inside joke of the Drill Instructors. "Are you challenging my authority? Boy, when I was half your age, I could run these obstacle courses in about half your time. I could chop down twenty men with ease and you want to complain because you’re tired and worn out? You don't even know what tired and worn out are yet. You'll find out soon enough though. All of you will for that matter. This ain't nothing, just wait until it gets harder, and it will get harder."- An angry or caring Drill Instructor. (No one really knows if they have emotions.) "Sir, I don't give a damn what you could or couldn't do, but I'm not about to run off on no damned suicide mission."- A recruit with a mouth a little too big. To assure you though, these are some of the more flamboyant comments that I've heard, I've toned the language usage down quite a bit to make it suitable for sensitive eyes.
