Enlistment. Reporting to basic training, my day started at 3:30 AM. Didn't get to the barracks until 4am the following day. By the time we had our gear stowed, it was time to start the next day.

On day two, 4 guys in their last week of training were supposed to be showing us the ropes our first week. Instead, they hazed us all night long on the second night, and it wasn't until the night of day three that we were finally allowed to sleep. About 65 hours.
