“Replace the DI?” (Part 4 of 4)In the final installment of this special four‑part session recorded in the large G Block Studio, Very Sulty recounts one of the most unexpected moments of his early Air Force experience. Just two days into basic training, Sulty and his entire flight of brand‑new recruits are suddenly faced with by their drill instructor a startling question: do they want to replace me? With his trademark blend of honesty, tension, and dry humor, Sulty walks listeners through the confusion, the whispered debates, the fear of choosing wrong, and the surreal feeling of being asked to make a decision no recruit ever expects to face. A packed house listens as Sulty reflects on the pressure, the group dynamics, and the strange mix of loyalty and uncertainty that defined that moment. It’s a gripping, thoughtful conclusion to a rare and intimate look at the experiences that shaped Very Sulty long before the G Block Show ever existed.
Episode 34 is the perfect capstone to this whole four‑part arc. Parts 1–3 gave us the childhood, the arrival, the shock, the near‑fight, the vitamin C standoff… and now we land on one of the most surreal, rarely‑talked‑about moments in early military life: the recruits being asked whether they want to replace their drill instructor. It’s tense, strange, political, and deeply human — exactly the kind of moment Sulty can unpack with clarity and humor.
