Back in the 70’s, I was in the Guard and went through a state-run OCS program. They allowed us to check in a night early. All night there was the sounds of soft elevator music and the click of the TAC staff's heel plates on hard floors. Needless to say, NO ONE got any sleep that night and by noon the next day we were lucky to remember our own names.It was a psychological hell on earth and I think those candidates have no clue what they are getting into. We lost 10 guys within 2 days. To this day, the sound of heel plates evoke a shiver running up my spine.

"Reveille" does that to me.
