Basic training isn’t just physically demanding — it’s full of strange, uncomfortable, and often hilarious moments no one really prepares you for. In this episode, I break down some of the weirdest things I personally experienced during boot camp, from grown men breaking down emotionally to people doing whatever it took not to break formation. These moments might sound extreme, but they’re all part of the pressure, exhaustion, and mental reset that happens when you’re pushed past your limits.
