Drill sergeants say the funniest things.

"Now I don't want anybody messin' around. I don't want you playin' any grab ass."

Grab ass? Who's playing grab ass at boot camp? The whole idea of it is hilarious.

It's a trap, though! Do not laugh. DO NOT LAUGH.

Yeah, you're screwed, little buddy. (Go90 No Sh*t There I Was screenshot)

In the first episode of We Are The Mighty's "No Sh*t There I Was" for go90, Armin Babasoloukian, a veteran of the 82nd Airborne, shares his first day as a wide-eyed recruit in the middle of hot and sweaty Oklahoma.

Babasoloukian — aka "Babalou" — tells a story that illustrates how easy it is for trainees to fall into traps set by their drill sergeants...or just actually fall...even when they're told specifically not to fall (common sense would suggest that you wouldn't have to tell someone that but...boots amirite?)

A genius moment is when one of the enlistees doesn't know the difference between an Armenian and a Kardashian.

Maybe genius isn't the right word?

But hey, when it comes down to it, all military personnel are well aware that our great nation faces threats of all shapes and sizes, whether it's ISIS, al Qaeda, or Kardashian.

So check out the video and let all those boot camp memories come rolling back.
