> Sports are good at distinguishing drills from practice

The military also. Individuals learn 'part task' drills (e.g. firing a tank gun), then practice them in a team environment (e.g. the different crew roles working together in a single tank) and then finally (in something fairly unique to the military) exercising collectively: multiple teams working together to achieve a common task. E.g. several tanks coordinating an attack, then adding in infantry, etc.

Brought to mind "wax on, wax off" from the original Karate Kid movie.

Definitely true, but probably easier to get nerds to rewatch Ted Lasso than Full Metal Jacket.

I’m not sure that would be my go to movie for military discipline and effective teamwork, but I’d sure watch it again.
