Yep. Going through Parris Island today bears little resemblance to going through back in the day. A totally different experience. (See “Full Metal Jacket” - And even that was tame compared to the reality).

I watched Full Metal Jacket. Laughed most of the time I was watching it. Some resemblance but not much. I thought it was pretty unrealistic. Maybe far-fetched is better.

Yes they left out pit calls, hanging like a bat, and the ever popular watching tv and changing the channels. Just some of the goodies.
