I was probably one of few boys that gained weight in basic training. In Sep 1972, I went to Ft Dix weighing 145 and by the first of Dec, I was 185. Three full meals a day, and a light schedule (for a farm kid) from 6 AM and in bed by 9 PM.
LOL! You had to join the Army and go to basic training to get some rest! LOLOLOLOL!
