I hated my DI's but they did a great job of preparing us for what was ahead. At OCS years later, I was ready for them, and did a lot of laughing inside at their sayings and motivation techniques.

Your Dad was the best of the best, and I know I would get along great with him. As an Officer, I had several former DI's work for me. They were the best.
I just called him, he was a DI in PI in 54....He was a mean SOB, LOL, Chewed that cigar on the side of his mouth until it was a nub. They could do magic with the butt of the gun.
