Hey, R. Lee Ermey isn't known for his kind, soft-hearted image.

You could debate whether or not they're actually grumpy or simply doing their jobs. I used to know at least one DI who collected tropical plants and whose favorite activity was handing out candy at Halloween. I doubt he's the kind of guy who was naturally grumpy very often. I saw a report (on MSNBC?) only recently about how the government is promoting a "kinder gentler" bootcamp (less yelling, more sleep time etc.) in order to attract more volunteers. Bad idea if you ask me. I'm no militarist in any sense of that term (and this has nothing to do with Iraq or politics) but as an average citizen I'd like to think that American soldiers are one tough, no-holds-barred bastards, thank you very much. I don't want them coddled. I want them accustomed to adversity. Drill instructors can and probably should be nice people.. but they need to be "grumpy" to do their jobs.

Isn't it all an act? I was going to give it a one, but I think after 4 years of enlistment, you either have to become a drill instructor or work as a recruiter. I could see how people could be grumpy in the job. I don't think they're really grumpy though.

They only smile when you suffer.
