When I was in basic in 1960, we had a real trouble maker....wouldn't help clean barracks, always stealing things from others, always filhy, wouldn't drill correctly, etc. The DI finally got so fed up he came to me and another squad leader and said if we would beat the crap out of the guy he would back us up by saying the guy fell down a stairway or something. The DI couldn't actually touch him by rules! I and the other squad leader told the trouble maker what was coming as we were taking him outside that night. He straightened up right then and never was a problem again.
Some guys wouldn't take showers, so we gave them a "GI shower"...their skin was as red as can be without bleeding but they were clean.
One big slob was always lipping off...a big fight in the showers with him bleeding and crying took care of that. Clean up was easy in the showers!
Now I have a nephew who applied to get into the Army but they won't take him because of his record. Too bad. Doubt if he ever will become a good man. We had lots of guys who were model soldiers after a local judge had told them it was jail or the Army.
