My original three Drill Instructors were replaced at the end of 1st phase and court marshalled because one sh!+bird couldn’t hack it and managed to get a complaint heard. Drill instructors are usually the best Marines, and it is disgraceful when officers who have never been through recruit training decide to play politics with them in order to further their own selfish careers.
I was an enlisted marine (E5) and and AF officer. I had one sadistic DI who was courts martialed for beating recruits and risking bodily harm to the recruits. He enjoyed inflicting pain and there was no point or training to be gained. The senior DI observed his actions and slapped his ass in the brig instantly.
This current guy also broke discipline and regulations for no real purpose. It doesn’t teach the recruits any valuable lesson to have their DI do something that is pointless and in violation of the standing orders. And by the way, it was probably the senior NCO DIs who handled bringing the original charges on the guy. Dumbasses make them look bad and tarnish their image.
