The official tie-in book to the wildly popular Facebook page, featuring brand-new crazy, off-the-wall, outrageously funny, and downright “awesome” pearls of wisdom from real-life drill sergeants and instructors from all branches of the military.
Sweat dries. Blood clots. Bones heal. Suck it up, buttercup.
After his deployment in Afghanistan, Dan Caddy began swapping great drill sergeant stories … great drill sergeant stories by e-mail with other combat veterans—an exchange with friends that would grow into the dedicated Facebook page, “Awesome Sh*t My Drill Sergeant Said.” But what began as a comedic outlet has evolved into a robust online community and support network that conducts fundraisers for and donates to military charities, has helped veterans struggling with PTSD and other issues, and on numerous occasions, literally saved lives.
Now, Caddy shares more great DS stories—most never before seen—in this humorous collection. Often profane, sometimes profound, yet always entertaining, these rants from real life soldiers are interspersed with lively sidebars, Top 10 lists, stories from fans, one-liners, and more.
For anyone who has suffered a hard-ass manager (in uniform or not), Awesome Sh*t My Drill Sergeant Said will add a much needed dose of humor to the day.

What’s not to love about things Sergeant’s say to enlisted men? Funny to the last page.
Obviously lots of language in this one but many chestnuts. Quick read with a lot of anecdotes of basic training life. Never having served it reminded me of some of my Dad’s stories. These guys are there to grow you up un a couple of months.
nothing or boring
Ever had a drill sergeant? This is spot on…..
Having a son in the Army, I could relate to this book.
OK, but a bit shallow; maybe it’s actually , though, that drill sergeants are themselves shallow when it comes to creative comments or insults.
I got this for my Military-veteran husband. I have not heard him laugh so hard in a long time. He is now convinced Drill Instructors across all branches of service are the same.
This book was a waste of time and money
Quick read and just fun. It will give you a few good lines too!
Made me recall an infamous day in my life 50 plus years ago when I went from a gentleman who raised his right hand and swore the oath to the United States to a dumb ass dipshit standing there with my arm in the air waving goodbye to Jody who was on his way to my girlfriend’s house to screw her brains out. Actually best thing ever happened to me. …
Anyone who has gone through basic training will love this.
I thought I was buying humor but if it was funny, I missed it. Also, I was disappointed that the Drill Sergeants were only from the Army, I’m guessing adding that to the title would have helped. Having met the Marine, version, I missed the point of a lot of the comments in the book.
Funny but not TOO funny. If you have been there . . .
Bullying and terrible language. My grandson is a Marine…makes me sick what this kid may be going thru to serve our Country.
Predictable, not worth time to read. Not funny lines could have been pulled from any average movie or military book
Very funny. Not for the kids.
Could have been much better. There was a lot more interesting things that happened to our platoon in basic training than this guy put in this complete book.
The only problem was that it was too short.
Not bad, read the whole thing in 30 minutes. Lots of the pages were filled with large print single line quotes, perhaps to get a higher page count?
Good entertainment, not exactly awesome, but funny Sh*t nonetheless.
