In Military Bootcamp, Mormon Church was the only church they would give you food and allowed you to escape work on Sundays.

I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who went to boot camp.

Not true in my experience. Yes, we got out, but so did Catholics and Protestants and more. And we were small enough to be stuffed into a furnace room in the church building.

I still loved it. Best part of the week.

  • As an non-member and a person who went to bootcamp experience, this is true. I don't know what branch you were in but I'm assure you this was in fact the case.

    But thanks for calling me a liar, very Mormon of you.

As a non-mormon person who went through Army basic training, the Jewish service gave out food on Sundays, and everyone escaped work to go to their preferred service.
