It was just a matter of time. Local San Diego high school hired a new bus driver recently and he got on the wrong exit and ended up on MCRD.
Having just finished his first cycle as a Drill Instructor, Staff Sgt (Redacted), was pretty amped up. "I just love Making Marines, I lost my bearing a little, I guess" He entered that bus with the intensity of a freight train. One student tried to explain they were lost and obviously was greeted firmly with agreement. "No S*** You're F****** Lost!!!! But now you're found, and you belong to ME!" An onslaught of beratement continued for another 15 minutes continued until another Drill Instructor, who had been sitting outside the bus listening and laughing finally felt the children had enough, walked in and dismissed the Drill Instructor.
The Command SgtMaj received a concerned phone call from the High School Principal later that afternoon. The tone quickly shifted when the SgtMaj had heard enough. After several apologies from the principal, the school has sent out a memo to angry parents. "The incident in question was part of a planned recruiting trial" The memo went on to explain, the students were given a unique opportunity to experience boot camp and should be thankful for such a honored experience.
Hot cocoa and warm blankets were passed out at the school, all children expected to have a full recovery. Local recruiters report several students called the next day interested and have begun plans for a joint operation to reroute more buses to the gate.

This is the dumbest and most fake article I’ve ever read. As I prior Drill Instructor I know this would never happen. And the fact that people actually believe it makes it even worst. I do understand that civilians have no idea how the military works or certainly recruit training. Don’t believe everything you read people

Don’t know where to begin. Everybody is so sensitive. Joining the Infantry. Made me the person that I am today. Respect loyalty and honor Seems to me. It’s going to be a dying Read for our next generation. They play these simulated. Battles on TV while my brothers Are still sacrificing their lives overseas? For the freedoms that everybody thinks that they deserve But they’re only involvement. Is criticizing my brothers For what they do. They gave the ultimate sacrifice. For you spineless people Who walk around? And think the world owes you. Your freedoms are because of them. Think about that. The next time you open up your fucking mouth. Next time you get on an airplane. Next time you go to a foreign country.
