Wouldn`t realizing it`s part of a DI`s job to scream at you make it easier to deal with it?

Even if they physically harm you, it`s not lethal.... so why be scared?

Btw, I was raised by a very strong, very intimidating father, so I`m used to be screamed at and thinking my safety is on the line (though I have never been abused). Would that make me a little more mentally prepared for the US Marine Corps?

    It's all mental, all of boot camp is mental to be honest. They try to break you down and remake you. They can't do it physically as much anymore (I know it isn't easy but compared to 20 yrs ago...) So they resort to fear and psychological breaking you down.

    Just relax, keep your head down, and have fun.

    Eh, apparently you're unaware of the number of people who have died or been crippled during basic training.
