I was just telling my secretary how skinny I was after leaving basic military training. They only worked us eighteen hours a day, and fed us three meals where we literally had two minutes per meal to scarf down as much food as possible. Sometimes, it was "operation lick a biscuit," because that's all you had time to do, lick your biscuit and get up and get going :).
The above photos were taken during my Air Traffic Control training days in Mississippi, I think.
