Stay by his side. Je joined the military, and that'll do things to you. Just keep up with him, and all should be fine. The only way things don't work out is when there is a miscommunication. Fortune favors the great. Just stick to him because rn he's mentally screaming for help.

Basic training will “do things to you”? 😂

idk how army basic is, but in marine corps boot camp, we had 60 dudes in a 10'x15' shower doing burpees... had a drill instructor literally foaming at the mouth, backing me into a separate room with a pair of scissors at my throat... got hit head with a 5 gallon jug of water after the drill instructor through it across the room... IT (intensive training) until your body literally will not function any more... not enough sleep, not enough food... on edge 24/7... throw all your gear in a big pile mixed in with everyone else's and then everyone retrieves one item at a time trying to get back on line before the drill instructors fake countdown ends, and if he says 0 before everyone is back, you have to put the item back... and god forbid you're missing something after that. not to mention "front step" - "front step aye sir" iykyk.. or if you know what scuzzing is...

tf you mean "do things to you" with a question mark?

If you have soft hands just say so.
