Encampment was 10 days. It's a time where we send Elijah off into the desert to burn, be stinky, be barked at by weird non-army/but army people, fly C-130's and start chain vomit reactions, cook 300 steaks alongside a large black man named Chef who is super chill, and get no sleep due to teenage boys who share a bunk where someone sprayed lysol in the swamp cooler so they had no cool air. When asked what he learned at encampment he said, "I learned hard work." Hence why we pay $350 for him to suffer/have the best time of his life. Barret went this year and cried every single day. But Barret also loved it and will go back next year. Because you better believe your little heart.... Eli made the chimichangas way smaller so it's manageable and there will be slightly less vomit.
