Answer 3

This is coming from a Poole?!?  Stay hard dude, your DI is just trying to mold your *** into a solid block of red cedar.  

Answer 4

maybe he realized that you three were stronger (spirit and/or physical) and wanted to test you a bit harder. sometimes the DIs single out recruits because the recruits show something exemplary, like being able to lead in the face of adversity.

Answer 5

Then you will be a stronger Marine than the other recruits.

Answer 6

Suck it up.  

Answer 7

This happened to my father, step father and husband.

It is not uncommon.

My guess is they wanted to push you a little harder, to see if you break.  

Answer 8

O.M.G.  I am so tired of hearing you whine about how hard boot camp was for you.   GUESS WHAT?  It's hard for everyone... and DI's are paid to make it hard on you.  You know what?  Just like in a police academy, they make it hard on you in order to wash out those recruits who are so whiney, they would very likely be a safety risk to other Marines, when deployed.    So they were trying to save lives...

Why can't you just get over yourself?  Next time you go away, please don't come back unless you're willing to stop whining because your DI's didn't pat your hand and let your mom send you cookies!

Answer 9

Were you one of their "special projects" that needed extra attention to get squared away?

Answer 10

stop whining boot
