More than once the Company Commanders in Boot camp woke us up at like 3:30-4:30 AM by throwing two galvanized trash cans w/lids into the middle of the wing and flashed the lights and Yelling "On the line now, this is not a drill."
Yeah, nuts....
Then once near the end of boot camp after we had won some award earlier in the week, we were told they would let us sleep in on Saturday morning.....
Yeahhh, nope. Not quite.
One of them quietly snuck in and tossed one of those trash cans down the wing, turned on the lights and said, "Surprise..... (Then stood there a few seconds in silence.... then said) Okay, y'all can go back to sleep, ya earned it." Laughed and then walked out. It was around 6AM -IIRC- and the dawn was breaking through the trees...
