Not so funny
We broke starch one day and were doing drill, pissed the Drill Sargent off somewhat and he had us all lay down on our backs in the soft dirt. Make angels in the dirt, like in snow, then grab handfuls of dirt and throw them straight up in the air as we are laying there on our backs. Sure taught us something.
Not so funny
In VietNam we had some Koreans stationed with us. I was walking with the Major one afternoon and came up to them in formation. Their Captain had one guy standing out in front at attention, he had a 2x4 a couple feet long. He pulled each man out of formation and handed him the 2x4 and told them to hit the guy. If they didn't hit the guy as hard as the Captain liked he took it and dropped them. The guy was getting beat.
The Major I was walking with said he wished the Marines could do that, we would have lot better discipline.
I never found out what the guy did to deserve it.
The Koreans were the toughest guys I ever saw.
