Basic Training Story #4381
Categories: ASMDSS, Basic Training Story
No sh*t there I was, USMC RTD, Parris Island. Day 1 of boot, our senior DI, I’ll call him DI H, whose orders seemed to be “weed out all non-hackers”. DI H gives us nicknames; one pragmatic recruit who talks behind his back becomes Pvt. J; a Texas recruit becomes Pvt. C; And finally a 6-foot 3-inch, 280 pound, slow-witted recruit with low intelligence and ambition becomes Pvt. GP and the focus of DI H’s brutality.
Because the overweight boy cannot keep up with the other more physically fit recruits in the grueling obstacle courses. One evening during a routine inspection, DI H, noticing that Pvt. GP’s foot locker is unlocked, searches it and finds a jelly doughnut; food is strictly forbidden in the barracks (and Pvt. P is not permitted to eat donuts because he’s overweight). Enraged, DI H decides that from then on instead of punishing Pvt. GP, he’ll punish all of us in the platoon.
A few nights later, the we all attack Pvt. GP with soap bars wrapped in towels while Pvt. C gags him and a few others hold him down on his bed. At first, Pvt. Jis reluctant to attack his friend, but after Pvt. C persuades him, PVT. J hits GP longer and harder than most of the others.
In his bunk, J covers his ears, ashamed at himself as GP howls in pain.
Sounds like a recap of Full Metal Jacket…

Nice Full Metal Jacket story. Im goin watch the movie now…
I think I have too…. Maybe I think GP might be Homer Pyle. Hey did GP sit on the toilet and bite a round? If so I think you may be referring to Full Metal Jacket and not reality.
Full metal jacket 1987
Hmmmm…. Private Joker and Gomer Pyle maybe? Dude….come on.
Plot line from full.metal jacket
That is about as Full Metal Jacket as Pvt Pyle and Joker could ever be.
I was there too. Private GP became a section 8. Crazy boy shot the DI then himself. Scared the shit out of Private J who drew fire watch that night.
Bullying like this can lead to lashing out with violence and or suicide.
I call shenanigans – I’ve heard this story before as well. OP should get his Jacket and leave
Holy crap! This happened in my platoon in boot camp, too. This may indicate a systemic problem within the USMC basic training model.
“This is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for fighting, this is for fun” Full Metal Jacket. Love that movie.
Funny the old man told me about a rather terrible form of retribution named the blanket party. Tied to a chair in a blanket and sent down the stairs if you were a real shit pump
