 During two weeks of in-processing as an infantry trainee at the Army's 30th Adjutant General Reception Battalion, Bergdahl learned that the Army didn't care for his feelings, his opinions, or his time.

His free time was spent in an open-base starship barracks filled with bunk beds and his fellow recruits.
