Drill Instructors are introduced - Oklahoma Poolee Family Day

Drill instructors are introduced. SSgt Patten teaches the poolees the difference between commands and questions. When given a command you answer, "Aye aye sir!" When asked a question you say, "Yes sir!" SSgt Patten also explains that when he says, "Eyeballs," the poolees are to answer "Click." Ssgt says when I say "Zero," poolee answers "Freeze." Poolees were to follow these instructions for the remainder of the Family Day activities.

Love this, I think every Marine recruit (poolee) should experience a drill instructor in their face. I think the Nebraska group of poolees are louder though in my video, check them out.

Does anyone know if these family nights are mandatory? If it's mandatory for the poolee, is it mandatory for his family to attend as well?

Thanks for any help

@20FUTUREMARINE12 Wait a minute, it says on your profile you're only 17. Are you really a Marine?

[MayyStorm]

@darthgrahf You would say "gentlemen" instead of "sir" for the proper greeting of the day. However you do NOT say "yes gentlemen," no gentlemen," or "aye-aye gentlemen." When responding to a command or question, you only respond to the Drill Instructor who spoke to you, no matter how many are there at the time. And yes, I learned that the hard way.

[darthgrahf]

How do you address more than one drill instructor?

@Zomb131 they wont tell them freeze or die since the parents are present. when i went through recruit training in 2006 we said a lot worse than "freeze or die"
