Weapons Training

Weapons Training

"Weapons Training" is a piece of war poetry written by Bruce Dawe in 1970. It is a dramatic monologue, written from the perspective of a battle-hardened Air Force Drill Sergeant.

"Weapons Training" has very little use of punctuation to emphasize the rate of which he is speaking. The lack of punctuation makes the persona seem as though they are ranting on. The purpose of the abuse is to get the recruits ready for the worst, which the persona knows, will happen.
