Fire over their heads--that gets one's attention, from what I recall of 
Basic Training, with that 'sandbox' and drill sergeants firing about 9 
feet over my head.  Tracers always seem a lot lower than they really 
are.  After that, well if it's a choice between being dismembered and 
facing a court of inquiry, I'll take the investigation any day.
