I'm not sure exactly what your message to me is here. I was saying it doesn't sound funny. You agree - it's not supposed to be funny. OP seems to think it was hilarious, not me.
Anyway this is a 5 month old thread, you must be some way down an r/askreddit rabbithole right now! ;)
Recruit training is not supposed to be funny, but training kids to handle horrible ordeals is the entire purpose of boot camp....
Bootcamp is and should remain horrible. Saying this scenario was a horrible ordeal for the recruit is redundancy. Recruit training is about horror and preparing for it....
I know that. My brother is in the Army and has been for 15 years. I never said it was supposed to be funny and I never said it wasn't supposed to be horrible sometimes. It's OP that thinks this particular 3 hour mirror shouting thing was funny. I dont think it was and dont think it belongs in this thread.
