Reddit thread: How common is shitting your pants or pissing yourself at bootcamp?

Guy pissed his pants after 2hrs in formation and completely broke down. DS took him to the pay phones and made him call his "emergency contact" which was his wife and tell her what a POS he was while the DS listened. Brutal!

Had one guy in my platoon piss himself on the firing line during weapons qual because he waited 2 hours for his turn to shoot and didn't want to lose his spot. He decided pissing himself was the correct answer

Yeah, one time I suddenly had to piss in the middle of company PT in boot camp. I was scared shirtless as I stood out from pushups, broke formation, and walked up to 4 DIs to request a head call. 2 of them chased me in a flat out sprint to the head, and screamed in my face as I pissed. Good times...

Our MTI (USAF) was of the opinion a grown ass man shouldn't have to ask to use the latrine. I asked the very first night we got there and got an earful, and every time someone asked after that I had to report to his office door and bellow out in the flight bay "YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK PERMISSION TO DRAIN YOUR LIZARD."

We did have one guy piss himself, sorta, during graduation parade. Dude could not hold it so he stealthily unzipped his blues pants and pissed right behind the dude in front of him. It was pretty hilarious.

Saw one of each during reception at Ft. Benning.

They were within the first few days when everyone was scared shitless (har har) and afraid to ask. First guy pissed himself while in formation directly outside of the chow hall... There was a latrine just inside, 25m away.

It happens.

I pissed myself because we were practicing drill all morning and fucking it up, so our drill instructors kept us out there longer, then we were running late for chow so they didn't give us enough time for everyone to piss. I was one of the guys that didn't get a chance to piss and pissed myself while we were in formation waiting to go into the chowhall. No one noticed.

Several recruits would ask to make headcalls or, worse, "emergency" headcalls. The drill instructors just fucked with those guys mercilessly (which didn't really create an environment where requesting a headcall was a desirable thing to do). At least one guy pissed himself because of that.

Last but not least, one guy pissed himself while we were getting our final alpha inspection. He was already a fuck up and not the most popular with our drill instructors so it did not end well for him. He was behind me in formation, all I heard was a lot of yelling and then I saw him and one of our DIs hauling ass toward the barracks. Didn't see him for the rest of the day.

----

We had at least one guy who pissed himself twice in formation, he was too afraid to ask to go the bathroom.

----

One guy pissed himself one morning while we were on line. I ALMOST pissed myself because I was so dead ass asleep from being tired and barely woke up in time. Also, requested a head call and I was taking too long to shit, so one of our DI's came up and started counting me down. He was literally in front of me. Hilarious

It was the last week of BMT. We and a few other flights were marching for parade practice when towards the end retreat starting to play. So we all stop and do our shit. During the anthem this guy falls out, escorted by his wingman, and awkardly waddles past four flights of trainees with piss all over his pants.

I've been trying to write a story about military scenes, but it's currently in limbo. Some of these snippets are really interesting and a big source of ideas which I might be able to use. Thanks for posting!

Given the variability and unpredictability of the human body, and given the lack of planning in some individuals, it's not possible to just urinate on schedule and at no other time.
