In the military, there are three options. 1. You know you fucked up and you are going to get shouted at. 2. You did something forbidden and you might get shouted at if you get caught. 3. You did something OK, still got shouted at and now you don't know how you would do it better. You repeat what you did, get shouted at again. Until the asshole has ran out of steam.
The shouting has absolutely no information value ever.
What you describe might work for low motivation individuals. But they are hopelessly used to the shouting at the end of basic training. So the officers have to use threats instead.
- EliRivers 11y agoI used to get these tension headaches while waiting to be shouted at. Being shouted at was a relief - switch off, nod nod. Running around and around carrying something heavy after the shouting was relaxing; while I was doing that, I could switch off. There wouldn't be any shouting while I was running around and around carrying something heavy. I realised I was being conditioned to seek out being shouted at.
