      ISounds like our DI in basic training. by hieraco 2005-01-21 18:42:15
This guy was a navy Sgt. (Petty Officer) and he could tear you a new one just by looking at you. Worst part was he bearly cleared 4'6"

Now anyone in the military knows that they always pick the tallest person to be marker (Front left corner) of a parade formation.

it's also a well known fact that many of us tall people are somewhat less than co-ordinated.

So on this particular morning after screwing up the practice for the umpteenth time the DI halted us, gave us the "Left Turn! and had us stand at attention as the DI sauntered up to the marker.

Now picture this 4'6" tall, some what round drill Instructor (complete with naval beard) standing point blank with this 19 year old farm boy who is easily 6'6".
The DI stares straight ahead into this kids bellybutton. Slowly tilts his head up until he is staring at the underside of the kid's chin. Then starting with a growl like a rabid dog we hear the following; GRRRrrrrrr BRYDON! YOU HORRIBLE LITTLE MAN GET OFF MY PARADE SQUARE. ON THE DOUBLE!!!!

I swear 1/2 of our company was in the air and heading for the sidelines while the other half was trying and not do any permanent damage to them selves by keeping a straight face on parade.
