The Most Embarrassing Boot Camp Moments

It's around the 20th of December and our training instructor decides to make a trainee sing

Jingle Bells since he left his key necklace outside of his shirt, which is a big no-no.

0:15.8

This trainee had no idea as to what the words were, so he's doing push-ups and he's only saying,

0:28.4

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, he's only saying, Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, and he just keeps on going. Our training instructor lets out a primal scream of rage, gets right up in his face
