   Dave, I think it was Otto Kuum's men I read this about regarding first   
   name basis I can't remember if it was "Tigers In The Mud" or "Waffen   
   SS Hitlers Instrument of Terror" but I know I read it. The videos I   
   saw of basic training where the drill instructors were using their   
   regular voice explaining the training and then doing the drills they   
   only would say something if one would fail, it was very professional   
   treatment of the lowest ranks, they weren't demeaned or mocked. Do you   
   know of any videos online that show basic training drills showing how   
   it was done?   
      
   We were told at the start that the Captain had bet a promotion on making his   
   company score the highest in the Basic Training final tests, three times in   
   a row, and we were the third. They worked our (and their own) butts off but   
   treated us with respect and let us out on weekends. And we gave back   
   everything they asked for, without complaint, especially after seeing how   
   the other companies were treated.   
      
   The DIs still had to be loud to be heard clearly at the far end of the   
   column over the noise of boots and other nearby DIs. This is an Air Force   
   explanation:   
   http://www.drillpad.net/DPcommands(AF).htm   
      
   Optionally in the Army the execution part of the command could be simplified   
   to save the voice, like Atten - Hut or Forward - Harch, as the H sound   
   produces the necessary loud and brief timing signal without stressing the   
   vocal cords so much.
