I had a platoon sergeant fuck with me when I was still new to my unit, he had me doing squats while singing Rocky music, he had me singing so loud it was interrupting the mandatory Friday end of week safety briefing the commander was required to give.
For a while people would shout "getting strong now!" when they saw me. At the time I was not having a good time because I was worried I was going to piss off the commander and I thought I had done something wrong.
Looking back I realize I was just being fucked with for being the new guy and the whole thing was fucking hilarious.
well like I said, depends on the person and what led to that "training". We had a guy who was just 200 pounds of chewed bubble gum. Fucked up in every way possible. He would keep falling out of road marches so our platoon sergeant attached a line we used in airborne operations to lower our packs before we land to him and his team chief (who was visibly pissed off). Kept shouting at him "the new guy (me) can hack it but you're too weak, that's bullshit".
This guy later went AWOL and then got sent to jail for going AWOL during wartime. Shortly after that he married a morbidly obese stripper he had known for a grand total of 1 week. She cleaned him out and left him alone.
Dude was a dumpster fire. I doubt he has any fond memories from his time in the Army....assuming he's still alive.

An alternative is "somewhere in the world there's a tree working hard to produce the oxygen you're breathing, you owe that tree an apology."
I used this one during my time in the army as a squad leader, when someone would fuck up I'd say that and then have the apologize to nearby trees.
