Now you can have your very own U.S. Army Drill Instructor to wake you up in the morning! How cool is that? No more jangling, jarring alarm clocks! No more jumping three inches off the bed when your alarm goes off! Now you'll wake up with a smile on your face as our no-nonsense Drill Instructor rousts you out of bed. But listen, guys, watch out for this Drill Instructor – he means business – “...You think this is some kinda resort we're running here, boy? I got NEWS for you!...” If you think you might just ignore him and turn over and go back to sleep for a quick snooze, forget it -- not smart. He'll be on you like a duck on a June bug and then he'll be back every ten minutes, even more heated and hell-bent to get you out of the sack. Yet despite his in-your-face attitude, you'll find he's really on your side. He just wants to get you to school on time or to your morning appointment. He won't jolt or wake 'n shake you like an annoying, screaming alarm clock or unwelcome clock radio music. Instead, he'll “talk” you awake – forcefully, yes, and you can bet he'll get you up every time!... in a way that's actually fun.

Just pick an impersonation (or choose “Random”) then set your wake-up time.
