One horror story is when a drill was so realistic that students thought it was an actual shooting. They were terrified, hiding under desks, crying, and some even had panic attacks. Teachers were also very stressed trying to keep the students calm while fearing for their own safety.
At an office building, during a fire drill, the emergency exit doors got jammed. People were pushing from behind trying to get out. There was a lot of screaming and fear as they thought they were actually trapped. Thankfully, it was just a drill, but it was a very scary situation.
One horror story is when a drill sergeant made a recruit do hundreds of push - ups in the rain just because he was a second late for formation. The recruit was completely exhausted and ended up getting sick afterwards.
A lot of times, the psychological impact is overlooked. I know a place where during a drill, a young girl was so frightened that she wet herself. She was so embarrassed and traumatized by the experience. And this is just one example of how these drills can have a really negative emotional impact on people, especially children. These drills need to be more carefully planned to avoid such situations.
Loud and intimidating yelling is also very common. Drill sergeants often use their voices to strike fear into the recruits. They might shout right in their faces, which can be really scary for someone who is new to the military environment. Another element is sleep deprivation. Some drill sergeants will disrupt the recruits' sleep with unexpected tasks or inspections, which can make the whole experience feel like a nightmare.
One great story is about a drill instructor who had a recruit that was really struggling with marching in step. Instead of yelling at him constantly, the instructor spent extra time after hours teaching him the rhythm. By the end of basic training, that recruit was one of the best marchers in the unit. It shows that not all drill instructors are just about discipline through shouting.
One interesting Naruto drill fanfiction could be about Naruto discovering a new and powerful drill - like weapon. Maybe it has some unique chakra - based abilities that he has to learn to master. This could lead to him facing off against new and unexpected enemies in the Naruto universe.
One scary lockdown drill story I heard was from a school. The lights suddenly went out and there were these really loud banging noises outside the classroom. The students were huddled in the corner, some were crying because they thought it was real. It was so realistic that it left many of them with nightmares for weeks.
There are drill sergeants who create a very intimidating environment. One horror story could be that a drill sergeant would suddenly burst into the barracks in the middle of the night, turn on the lights, and start yelling orders. This completely disrupts the little sleep the trainees can get. Also, some drill sergeants have been known to play mind games with trainees. They might give conflicting instructions just to see how the trainees react, which can be very confusing and nerve - wracking for those in BCT.
A drill instructor was trying to teach the recruits about camouflage. He asked one recruit to demonstrate how he would hide in the field. The recruit lay down on the ground but his bright white socks were sticking out. The drill instructor then said, 'If the enemy doesn't see you, they'll surely see those socks from miles away. They're like beacons!' and then proceeded to cover the recruit's feet with mud while everyone laughed.
Sure. There was a fire drill in a high - rise apartment building. The elevators were shut down as per protocol, but some elderly residents who couldn't use the stairs easily were left stranded on their floors for a long time. They were terrified, thinking there was a real fire and they couldn't escape.
