What does the Term "Grab some Real Estate" Mean?

   Every troop who has ever served in any branch of the armed services is familiar with this term. It means to get down and do some pushups. This is the standard military punishment for all minor infractions, or just something for your NCO to do to you depending on the mood that he happens to be in.
If this is the only punishment that you receive you are doing fine. Once you have done them you will normally be able to just get up and go about your business, unless the NCO is in a particularly nasty mood. Then you have too stand there and pretend to be concerned about the oral dissertation that he wants to give on why you shouldn't do whatever it was again.
Sometimes they want you to give a detailed explanation on why whatever you were supposed to do but didn't. If it didn't happen and you made me do pushups for it as far as I am concerned the situation has ended and life needs to go on.
Many think pushups cause troops to not want to repeat the infraction again, but the truth of the matter is they  cause the soldier to formulate a plan to not get caught the next time that he decides to break the rules. This is a method of toughening troops mentally. After they have punished a few times in this fashion they are no longer intimidated.
The troop learns to evaluate the consequences of his decision to disobey the infraction beforehand. Is the fun going to be worth the punishment associated with it? If so who cares about getting chewed out. Purchase a Military Ring
