Reviving this thread, a little.
5.5 years in the USN, so far. Have another 3 committed. Spent time in nuclear engineering with the Navy prior to lateral transferring over to aviation and spending the past 3 years in the P-3 community. Hoping to stay around a bit longer but if not, I've always thought about police work or something along those lines.

I'm going to Vilseck. Here is the mental round up I just did of my last 3 years as a Drill Sergeant.......
Well, I'm happy to say that on Halloween I will be officially no longer on the Drill Sergeant trail. It's been 35 months of trying to turn "Average America" into productive members of our Armed Forces. I have seen just about everything and then some. I have heard every excuse imaginable. I have had ball sweat in my boots in heat cat 5 (over 100+ degrees) more times than I care to remember on the ranges of Ft. Jackson, SC. I have made more than 25 grown men either crap or **** themselves. I have seen a whole lot of wholesomely dressed female family members on family and graduation day (naked pictures sent in the mail not withstanding). I have made the biggest and badest grown men scream like little 5 year old girls. I have seen over 100 foreigners become new Americans. I have walked almost 500 miles on 4 pairs of boots. I have caused the loss of countless pounds of fat off of weaklings. I have managed to make my marriage stronger. I have become a better leader, mentor, Soldier, and follower of Jesus. I have become an expert in everything basic in the Army. I have qualified with my rifle with a score of 27 while standing the whole time because I really wanted that steak dinner from Texas Roadhouse (21oz T-bone of course) while I was on CQ. I have pulled 24hr duty more than 150 times to include tonight......as an E7. I have seen the bandaid bus called more than 300 times because America as a whole is weak. I have contributed to the explosion of countless tiny hearts. I have influenced the outcome, values, morals, and tactical knowledge of the future of the Army for the next couple of generations of our leadership (all but one unlucky assclown have been support MOS's). I have to say that this has been the most professionally rewarding, mentally frustrating, personally challenging, and physically/spiritually enlightening last 3 years of my time in the Army and my life. I have met some of the best people in the Army and the world as my coworkers. I have also met some of the biggest Turdbag NCO's the Army has to offer. I have made some great friends and some that I would call family. I wouldn't change any of it.
On to the next chapter in the next coming months as I will be off to Europe to skull drag some group of poor bastards that have no clue what's about to come into their lives. Especially if I happen to make the E8 list next month.
Senior Drill Sergeant OUT!
