    We would sometimes rub tabasco in our eyes in basic training to try to stay awake

      Why? What service? We did everything that we could to catch sleep where we could in USN boot camp.

        US marines, we had to stay awake during the lecture periods or we would get pulled aside and absolutely smoked lol so tabasco was the better alternative for some

          My AF technical training squadron 20 years ago was on a joint base. I remember a tropical storm hitting the base, so they had us all huddle in the dorms and relax until it passed while we watched the Marines march around in 3 foot high water outside.
