I am watching STRIPES on AMC. How closely does it portray Army basic training? Sgt. Hulka? Was he an accurate portrayal of an Army drill sergeant? If not please explain.

Army basic would probably lie somewhere between Stripes and Full Metal Jacket.

No, not a very good Drill Sergeant.  Sgt. Hulka is way too much of a buddy/buddy DS.  They are not your friends, they are there to train you the basic soldier skills so can fight and stay alive.  It really isn't an accurate portrayal of life in Basic Training, but it was filmed at Ft. Knox where I went to OSUT at.  Some of those old wood buildings pictured in the movie were still there when I ETSed from there in 2006.

It's a much more accurate portrayal of AF basic.

Luls.....FMJ would be a much better portrayal of BT/AIT/OSUT for Army Infantry.

Full Metal Jacket was a movie but was pretty spot on for USMC boot camp except the beatings/abuse in the movie were less severe.

If I take up a collection to pay for it, will you get a vasectomy?
