Hazing is for the purpose of humiliation. This is not. Everything has a purpose. Nothing is wasted or left up to chance in training.

During initial infantry training we went through a lot of senseless and cruel things including occasional physical beating. 

Obviously weren't happy about it. About 6 month later one old smart commanding officer said something like that: "If you can't take some abuse, cruelty and beating, how would you be able to perform in a firefight when your life is in danger and adrenaline is pumping? If you are not man enough to take some roughness I don't need you here, go cook or push papers."

A men. The world could always use another bartender!

The only time i was required by my department to give them info about my guns was for the guns i planned to qualify with for off duty carry

Why do people limit themselves by believing in what they can't do versus believing in what they can do?

 

And also, lets call it what it is.... Laziness. If you want something you have to work for it. If not, it could go to anyone else who has had the same exact problems but decided short term repercussions were worth the huge long term gains.
