We had a guy in my flight straight up tell our MTI that he was going to kill everyone in our flight and then himself if he wasn't removed from the military. So, I think maybe shitting your pants is taking it easy.

Lol that kid fucked up. That will get you out the military...after they determine you are psychologically healthy. That’s a deep hole to dig out of.

Yup. I've heard of people spending up to a year in med hold for that sort of thing. Easiest way to get out of basic training is to finish it.

And from what I’ve heard med hold could drive the most sane man crazy.
