newYou can now listen to Fox News!
Defense Minister Beit Higseth is studying the opposite of a ban on the “shark attack”, which is the aggressive practice that is determined for the time used by the drilling sergeant to train the American army in basic training.
This practice was usually used at the beginning of the training by the presence of many drilling sergeant who bush the trainees and scream in their faces at the top of their lungs.
Higseth said on Thursday during his appearance on “The Will Cain Show”.
“We return to the basics. Sergeons will be a park by the hands of the knife who guarantee, who keep the system and good discipline and train great recruits will make great configurations. Just just as we need military officers with the same discipline and strict background. Therefore, we return to the basics, and they bear fruit.”
Higseth pledged to restore the warrior mentality and raise the standards in the full military transformation

The army began to gradually get rid of the shark attack in recent years and greatly ended in 2020. It was replaced with “the first 100 yard”, a more organized training exercise designed to build intimate friendship and encourage teamwork under pressure.
“The first 100 yard” is the first exposure to the US Army trainee to their basic training (BCT), the sergeant of drilling, and their first opportunity to start their transformation as members of the most effective combat force and the Fatak, “the American Army for First Military Training was published on Facebook. “The first 100 yard”, in honor of the closure of the last 100 yards of the fighting, combining teamwork in a competition characterized by mental and physical challenges on the day they reach their basic training company. “

The act of replacing the shark attack arose from deliberations at the army’s infantry school in Fort Benning, Georgia. Senior leaders believe that the practice was outdated, but at that time he stressed that the army was not soft despite the lack of trainees in the two people.
Supporters of the Shark attack said it helps the trainees to move from civilian life to military life and prepare them for the chaotic environment that some will face in the battlefield.
“The secretary is very excited to make the basic training great,” said Kingsley Wilson’s press secretary on Thursday. “Once again, I can confirm that he will discuss basic training and make sure that the standards are where they should be.
“We want our men to be strong, and this begins in basic training, and we want to make sure that, once again, we return to the basics. Sharks will be something that is looking for.”

The army unit recently reflected the imposition of a ban on “bays ejaculation”, which is another traditional practice in which the drilling sergeant is divided into carrots, mattresses, wall cabinets, garbage boxes and other elements in the bays where the recruiter trainees sleep, forcing them to clean the area.
Notes on July 31 by Colonel Christopher JC Halus, Commander of the 197th Infantry Brigade, who trained infantry soldiers, that throwing the Gulf is “strictly prohibited.”
“It will not” throw “the Gulf sergeons to include stirring ranks, expelling wall tanks,/or touch and/or damage to the trained personal things or equipment,” says the memo. “Sergeons do not use” ejaculation “in the Gulf for any reason to include corrective action methods.”
On Sunday, the Holies issued another note that reflects the ban.
On Thursday, Higseth noted that throwing the Gulf and the shark attack was part of the basic training for decades.

“These are the basic things that any of the basic training for decades that he understands is a recruiter, I was entering a crucible,” he said. “You were visiting. You were challenging. You had to be afraid, nervous and anxious.

“And through this, you will be forged by an American warrior. The shark attack is when the drilling sergeant surrounds one of the recruits, right?” He added. “Creating a tired position they have to know how to manage. Bed to ejaculation inside the barracks after you spent a long day in a map or walking in a patrol – these are essential things. This is not further than what has been done. This is a restoration process.”
