The days of drill sergeants/drill instructors/military training instructors (Army/Navy/Marines/Air Force, respectively) physically touching recruits in training are officially long gone. It might happen once in a blue moon, but for most DIs, they value their Smokey Bear hat/bush hat and the extra pay to not piss it away doing something stupid if they get caught.
Sure, we had it tougher last year (WHITLY!). It's been over 20 years since I endured Pinnacle Week, but I wouldn't wish it upon anyone else today the lack of sleep, the bullshit rules, among other things that I endured to become an Alpha Sig.
And it's been nearly 20 years since I endured basic training at Lackland AFB. I never was touched by any of the TIs, but they sure can put the fear of God into a young recruit. Hell, I didn't relax until the flight out of San Antonio International took off.
