Line 6:
Expect to see lots of [[Peeling Potatoes]], training [[The Spartan Way]], the obligatory [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] and maybe even battlefield action. Male characters will probably [[Important Haircut|be shaven bald]] upon arrival (female recruits usually just have to resort to a tight ponytail or bun).
{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic]]: Fumoffu'', it is the protagonist who organizes a boot camp on two occasions, playing the [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]. And he's ''very'' good at it.
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', Germany attempts to whip Italy into shape, only to find that [[Cowardly Lion|Italy is only good at running away]].
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]: Brotherhood'' OAV 4 "Yet Another Man's Battlefield" is an [[Adaptation Expansion]] of the manga gaiden "His Battlefield Once More", featuring an 18-year old Roy Mustang at boot camp. It shows how he became friends with [[Knife Nut|Maes Hughes]] and the result of befriending fellow cadet [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Heathcliffe/Heiss Clif]] Arber, who happens to be also Ishvalan.
Line 50:
* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' Bart is forced to go to military school after blasting a soundwave through the town (and Lisa joins him after being bored with public school education).
** In two other ''[[The Simpsons]]'' Homer joins the Naval Reserve (''Simpson Tide''), and later the Army (''G.I.-Annoyed Grunt'').
* In ''[[Futurama]]'', Fry and Bender enlist in order to take advantage of a discount for recruits in "War is the H-Word". [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin'|Almost immediately]], [[Not My Lucky Day|war were declared]].
* ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'' accidentally joins the army rather than the Dodgeball Camp.
* On ''[[Family Guy]]'' Stewie signs himself and Brian up for the military after Brian tries to get Chris out of a recruitment contract.
