Hearing Marcus talk about how bootcamp is used to break young people down and rebuild them into military members made me remember my time in bootcamp and how weird it was above anything else.

I was in Navy bootcamp (the easiest one) and once when we fucked up a roll of toilet paper they beat us for two hours (made us excercise hard) then dropped a projector screen so we could watch footage of people jumping out of the WTC at parade rest. I was shocked at how blatant the manipulation was, but a lot of dudes were crying while watching. Another time they beat us then made us listen to the sonar audio of a sub going below crush depth.

Any other vets have fun psychological torture stories from bootcamp?
