The Drill Sergeant

The Marine Corps Drill Sergeant noticed a new recruit and barked at him, 'Get your ass over here! What's your name?"
"Paul," the new recruit replied.
"Look, I don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy bull-**** they're teaching in boot camp today, but I don't call anyone by his first name," the sergeant scowled.
"It breeds familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my recruits by their last names only --- Smith, Jones, Baker.
I am to be referred to only as 'Sergeant.' Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, sir, Sergeant!"
"Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?"
The recruit sighed. "Darling, My name is Paul Darling."
"Okay, Paul, now here's what I want you to do ....."
