Close quarters and bacteria are not a good mix. Combine that with stress and physical activity (plus being scared to death to shit yourself...)

None of these things are a good mix.

Hang in there recruits.

You forgot to mention all the jihadis doing whatever they can to spread terrorism by dumping infectious material into food supplies.

It has happened before. USAF basic training was moved from Lackland AFB in San Antonio to Amarillo AFB in 1966 or so because of meningitis.

When I was in basic we all had URI viral syndrome. The whole damn flight was on turpenhydrate and codeine and darvon.

We did some of our best PT timed runs after coughing up a lung first. Noting hurt.
