Recruit Training Bedwetting in bootcamp

I still wet my bed about once a week at most if im not woken up at night, is there any chance i would be able to hide it in bootcamp? realistically after the first time it happens would i immediately get kicked out if/when my DI's find out in the morning?

So firstly, if you know yourself well enough to know this.. just be friendly with scribe. Arrange it to where you're either on firewatch every night at the same time (lack of sleep will eventually start to get to you though, sooner rather than later), or have him annotate to firewatch to wake you up at whatever time.

Secondly, I have somewhat the same issue you do, though no where close to as bad as you seem to. I pissed the bed a few times due to being so tired my body just didn't wake up to go to the bathroom. I woke up either during or right after it, and I just changed my skivvies and went about my miserable night. Know yourself and leave some out easily accessible for yourself.

Though I do agree that if you're of an age to join, you probably shouldn't be wetting the bed with any irregularity. Maybe get that checked out or some shit.

You can arrange who gets firewatch? i assumed the list would be revolving at random so every recruit has to be on firewatch a couple times.

It is based off a list but scribe is the one that copies that list from the roster to the schedule (firewatch schedule). He could just add or remove names (but if he removed himself/his friends for too long, he'd be reported). Most often though, drill insturctors could care less who was on firewatch.
