For good measure, send him through “One Day Motivation” followed by Corrective Custody Platoon.

CCP. The Chrome Domes. Don't even get caught eyef*cking those guys in the chow hall. Their Drill Instructors (with black smokies) were mean.

I never had to do one day moto, (we called it GIT at Dago), but we sent three prives one sunny day at 0430. They came back to the Platoon at 19:30. Sand head to toe, with their buckets in hand and the look of stunned terror on their faces.

Snapped a lot of us out of our dumbshit, most rikky tik.

Snapped a lot of us out of our dumbshit, most rikky tik.We had eight go to One Day Motivation... at PI, in February.

It might have been South Carolina, but it was COLD! We had snowflakes the size of quarters on Qual Day at the Range. Frostbite on the backs of our ears.

These eight guys were blue from cold and black from ditch mud.

"Sniper! Get off the road!" (the ditch was swamp)

"Get down! Get ALL the way down!" (this was when the DIs stepped on their gourds to get their heads UNDER the mud)

When they got back to the barn, our DI sent me into the head to turn on all the showers for them. "Start it off full cold. We don't want to shock them to death."

These eight made more noise "sounding off" than the entire platoon. They were motivated! We were motivated!
