The Pit

My brother-in-law (who was a former pathfinder) was telling me about a sawdust pit that you could go to and fight your drill sergant if you had problem with him. Is this true?

Yah, sure it is. Just challenge your drill sergeant to 'Master of the Pit' if he pisses you off.

They did away with the sawdust pit a few years ago. Since then, there are two correct ways to handle a problem with your Drill Sgt. First, you can offer a challenge verbally at any time, in any terrain, by simply stating something like, "Drill Sgt., with all due respect, you are talking out of your ass and I will not tolerate your abusive demeanor...I challenge you to a test of physical superiority." Second, you can write your problem down and give it to the 1SG at early formation...you simply break formation, approach the 1SG, hand him the note, and then return to your spot.

These new proceedures were done because it was costing the Govt. too much in maintaining the sawdust pits (trees are not as plentiful as they once were, hence higher prices for sawdust).

Yep, that is the correct attitude to take with your Drill Sergeant.

Dear MOD,
It has come to our attention that the sitebitch, aka Strider/Weirdart/Buttdart, does not engage in exercises for the mere mortal. It would seem that lifting inanimate objects in excess of his body weight is the only acceptable exercise for him. He firmly rejects your demands of pushups. He said that he will PM you with a list of acceptable exercises as they fit into his workout routine.

Dammit! I hate doing this....

He was sworn in today SB - It's officially Governor Schwarzenegger whose first mission is to educate the entire state on the correct spelling of Schwarzenegger.

Then, take the DS quietly aside and explain the problem. Seems they don't want DS's being embarrassed in front of the platoon anymore.

Ya know LN, I believe you are correct (again)....seems like I recall reading something about that...makes perfect sense.

I'll let either Ranger Saltbitch or Ranger Disinfertention take command of your young misguided soul. I don't have quite the patience as those two Rangers do. Please follow their guidance with respect to an appropriate avatar selection for yourself.

Evidently, you cannot follow the directions I provided, so you can follow theirs. Have a nice day. Be happy. No worries.
