“What is it like pissing/s**tting in boot camp?” asked one Redditor. His concerns were not isolated.

It’s most peaceful then,” wrote user DogofWar. “Technically you can always ask to go to the head if you absolutely can’t hold it. Usually you’ll get f***ed with but they’ll still let you go.” A few others echoed that sentiment.
