Don’t touch your Privates. Army drill instructors should not touch their Privates anymore during Boot Camp. The new recruits are now officially off limits from hazing or pushups. Next it will be steak dinners every night and free Xboxes for all new recruits.

Don’t Touch Your Privates: A New Era of Boot Camp

It was a bright and sunny Monday morning at Fort Hilarity, where the new recruits were about to experience the most transformative moment of their lives—boot camp. As they shuffled into formation, they felt a strange mix of excitement and fear. This was it! They were ready to become soldiers, but they were also painfully aware of the infamous drill instructors who were notorious for their hazing methods, especially when it came to their “privates.”

The recruits lined up, nervously adjusting their crisp uniforms. Sergeant “Screaming” Smith, a towering figure with a buzz cut that could cut glass, strode in front of them, his eyes narrowing like a hawk eyeing its prey. But this time, something felt different. Instead of the usual tirade of pushups, smoke sessions, and sudden bursts of intimidation, there was a new rule in place: “Don’t touch your Privates!”

“Listen up, maggots!” Sergeant Smith bellowed, sending the recruits flinching back. “From now on, all hazing and excessive pushups are strictly off-limits! You are all now ‘Privates’ in every sense of the word!” The recruits looked at each other, puzzled. Were they being pranked? This had to be some sort of sick joke!

One brave recruit, Private Jenkins, couldn’t hold back his curiosity. “Uh, Sergeant, what do you mean ‘off-limits’? Are we talking about… no more pushups?”

Sergeant Smith looked at him as if he’d just suggested they serve spaghetti for breakfast. “Of course not! No more hazing! You’ll be treated with respect—like fine china! And for the love of all things holy, don’t touch your privates!”

The recruits burst into laughter. “Steak dinners every night and free Xboxes for all recruits?” Private Miller chimed in, barely containing his giggles.

“You wish!” shouted Sergeant Smith, half-grinning. “But you will not be doing any excessive pushups! I repeat, no touching your privates!” He then marched away, leaving the recruits to process this wild new world.

As the days rolled on, the recruits adjusted to the new “Don’t Touch Your Privates” regime. They found themselves enjoying the finer things in life: extra sleep, a healthy dose of respect, and most importantly, an alarming lack of drill sergeants chasing them down for “minor infractions.”

They spent evenings laughing over their favorite new catchphrases. “Hey, Private, don’t touch your privates!” became a mantra around the barracks. And just when they thought it couldn’t get any better, rumor spread like wildfire: “Heard they’re serving steak and lobster on Fridays!”

But in classic military fashion, reality hit hard when they found out they had to earn those privileges. The freedom from hazing came with a catch: rigorous physical training and actual teamwork! Gone were the days of each recruit scurrying to avoid pushups or the wrath of a drill instructor. They were now expected to work together, and for some recruits, this was a foreign concept.

One particularly ambitious recruit, Private Simmons, took it upon himself to lead the charge. “Alright team, let’s train hard, not just to avoid pushups, but because we want those steak dinners!”

The group agreed, and they rallied around Simmons. “No touching our privates means no slacking off either!” they cheered.

As the weeks passed, they transitioned from a motley crew of scared kids into a solid team, all while keeping “Don’t Touch Your Privates” as their battle cry. They found camaraderie in their shared experiences and emerged stronger, both physically and mentally.

By the end of boot camp, they’d conquered not only their fears but also those rumored steak dinners—though not without a hefty side of greens. As they stood in formation, all smiles and camaraderie, Sergeant Smith approached.

“Congrats, Privates! You’ve survived boot camp without touching your privates… well, most of you,” he grinned. “Now go eat your well-deserved steak dinners, but don’t think I won’t be keeping an eye on you!”

As the recruits cheered and clinked their plates, they realized something profound: maybe, just maybe, a little respect and teamwork could go a long way—even in the military.

And as for Private Jenkins? He couldn’t help but think that perhaps this new boot camp was actually better than what the old-timers had led him to believe. With laughter in their hearts, they all agreed: “The new rules are definitely the way to go!”
