Bootcamp isn’t always miserable. There are fleeting moments when you’re able to distract yourself long enough to think happy thoughts. Enjoy the moment. Maybe you remembered something whimsical from your childhood. Maybe you’re daydreaming about the pizza and burgers you’re going to eat when you go home.
Maybe you even crack a smile.
Such enjoyment is short-lived. Any and all feelings of happiness and contentment is quickly squashed by the angry hordes of Drill Instructors roaming the Recruit Depot.
To be a recruit is to be free of all want, all desire, all happiness.
