I don't know enough Coasties to say, but of my Army and Marine buddies, failure to call someone a slut would be considered "discrimination by exclusion".

Is Saying a Fellow Servicemember (Not to Her Face) Is a "Slut" a Crime in the Military?
From U.S. v. Truitt, decided earlier this month by the U.S. Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals, in an opinion...

The towers were closed when I went through in 1986 (high winds).
The SLT was a mofo.
On the upside, the black flag was up every day as soon as we finished morning PT, so we weren't allowed to double time.
I went through in '96. By that time, the black hats told us the towers were all unsafe to use.
They sent down a demonstration mannequin on the first day to show us what a parachute looked like, but nothing more. And yes: nobody likes the SLT.
The towers were still in use when I went, but only a very small percentage of the students in a class got to use them, and I wasn't one of them.
Seemed like a huge misuse of time management overall to me.
However, standing by or attaching the parachutes to the giant rings was way better than the SLT!
I also remember the Black Hats being the most professional instructors of any military school I went to.
Their presentations were very well rehearsed and their terminology was always spot on.

You never need an excuse to bust chops on the flyboys. Our natural state is getting busted on - just be aware that air guard will not respect you if you don't bust hard enough.

If you were ever sent to ask the platoon sergeant where to find a "Prick E-7"...
