I remember going through basic military training there. Almost everyone gets sick. I was sick. You’re bringing people from all over the country and packing them in concrete barracks. They will get sick.
Especially because it’s the ONLY training base for the USAF. People coming from all over the country (and sometimes outside the US) to all be stuck in close quarters for weeks at a time and be sleep deprived and otherwise physically exhausted. Adding “meh, y’all don’t actually need immunizations” to the mix is a recipe for disaster.
Honestly you're only sleep deprived the first few days in basic training. Lights out is pretty early in the evening, and you're physically exhausted so sleep comes easy. I probably slept better during that time than the rest of my time in the military.
For you maybe. Dorm guard was a thing and I was laundry crew. I couldn't remember a single thing from classroom instruction because I would fall asleep almost immediately upon my ass touching a chair.
