Drill Sergeants are also kinder and gentler. They no longer yell at you when you make a mistake, but instead counsel the recruit and point out the errors.

My platoon sergeant did that, way back in 1963....

"Son, when you are standing on the firing line with a loaded rifle it's best to keep the muzzle pointed downrange. That's down there (pointing), where the targets are. It's not the best procedure to swing the barrel around and point it at your buddies and especially at sergeants. I'd like you to promise me, cross your heart and hope to die, that you won't do that any more, okay? Thanks, I knew you'd understand. BECAUSE IF YOU DIDN'T I'D HAVE YOUR ASS IN THE STOCKADE SO QUICK YOUR BOOTS WOULD BE RUNNING TO CATCH UP WITH YOU, BUT ONLY AFTER I'D KICKED YOUR BUTT SO FAR UP BETWEEN YOUR SHOULDERBLADES YOU'D LOOK LIKE AN UP-SIDE-DOWN LETTER U! AND IF I EVER SEE YOU MAKING SUCH A GODDAMN BONE-HEADED MISTAKE AGAIN YOU'D BETTER START SHITTIN' RIGHT THERE, BECAUSE THERE'LL BE THAT MUCH LESS FOR ME TO KICK OUTA YA!"

See? Right there at the end the Platoon Sergeant showed he cared about the recruit's welfare and good health.
