My son failed the USMC boot camp “crucible” final test his first time. Mid to high 90’s temps, very humid. Apparently they neglected to put salt in the tank of water they were using. Hyponatremia, very serious. He was hospitalized for a few days.

I’ve seen and heard all the warnings about that bad, bad salt, but then I think back on those days and know these pantywaists today don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. Salt is good - our bodies need it. There’s a reason for “salt of the earth” as a good thing.
