Jarnhamar said:If you think you have an issue now with getting yelled at due to your past waiting until your on course to figure it out is probably a poor choice.
Jarnhamar said:Okay but you didn't use past tenths.
"the reason I have a problem with yelling".
Reading that I would say the issue isn't behind you at all but it's not me going though course so I guess time will tell.
BeyondTheNow said:There is yelling at BMQ. You will get yelled at by your platoon mates, by your instructors, by PSP staff and by instructors/staff at CFLRS from different platoons. However, how much of it actually takes place from your own staff really depends on the dynamic of the platoon they're running. My first platoon had very little "yelling." 'Raised voices here and there and jacking-up that was more humorous than anything else. There was yelling during drill, there was yelling at different times during various activities, but it wasn't anxiety-inducing or anything.
On my second platoon? Very different story. There was lots of yelling. Often. But here's the thing. Yelling/speaking very loudly naturally raises one's stress level. At BMQ you will often be stressed out. But it's how you handle it, and you're supposed to be stressed out. Tired. Under slept and underfed. At the same time, though, there were instances where the staff 'fell out of character', so to speak, and were fun. They cracked jokes, they told stories....it was just fun.
So have fun. Don't take the yelling personally. Don't take the jacking up personally. Do what you're told, even if it's stupid. (Most) of it will make sense later.
ShoddyGunner said:Fair point. Though I admitted from the beginning I "have" a problem with getting yelled at (thus wanted clarification so I'd know whether it's to an extent/in a way I can handle, which it sounds like it definitely is).
DAA said:They aren't "yelling" at you. They are adding emphasis to whatever they are saying and or trying to reinforce the point. It's part of the training and something which you may encounter from time to time.
Last time someone "yelled" at me, was on the parade square and giving a drill command. A position that you yourself, could very well be in sometime in the future. And your Training Staff are also held accountable for their actions. Seen a few "removed" this year for various reasons. So it's a two way street.
If you're that concerned about someone raising their voice to you, you're over thinking things. The people I worry about, are the ones who don't because they are usually the smart ones.
medicineman said:Can't say I've ever yelled drill commands on a parade square...commands are projected, a much different thing actually (among other things, it helps save your voice). However, I have yelled at people on a parade square when they looked/acted like Mr/Ms Bags O'Shyte.

Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who's the slimy little communist shit twinkle-toed cocksucker down here, who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?! The fairy fucking godmother said it! Out-fucking-standing! I will P.T. you all until you fucking die! I'll P.T. you until your assholes are sucking buttermilk.
Eye In The Sky said:It's not yelling just for the sake of yelling.
- in combat, you will get yelled at over the sound of rounds going off, engines, grenades, all that stuff.
- if driving, the crew commander may yell "STOP!!!!!" before the vehicle drives into a ditch/trench/whatever.
- flying, if you are in a emergency and can only pass info via a runner, the runner and others will likely be yelling.
If you can't deal with yelling in a benign environment such as BMQ, you might need to grow some thick skin for the situations that may happen above.
