I do however have to admit witnessing (and receiving) some truly world class ass chewing. Just about the only time I personally experienced an "Ermey" episode was when the Sergeant, concerned about my attitude, "invited" me into the gym for a Silat lesson (ouch!).
Discipline in the field was an entirely different matter.

Forget tge drill NCO, one of my coursemates from another training company at the academy created some F_up, it was a hot sunday afternoon and the whole course was ordered by the Academy Cadet Adjutant (ACA) to the football fields (we went there rolling, forwards then sideways. We spent the afternoon doing 500 pushups and 500 situps. Those of us who knew how to take a punishment did just 200 odd of each exercise.
Compared to our seniors the drill NCOs were saints.
