In this episode of the Step Sergeant Podcast, we break down the most painfully accurate, brutally honest, and unintentionally hilarious phrases that define military life. From the legendary “Hurry up and wait” to the eternal “Embrace the suck,” we’re talking about the lines every service member has heard, lived through, and now laughs about.
We share the stories behind these phrases, why they’re so accurate, and how they became part of everyday military culture, humor, and survival mindset. This episode is packed with dark humor, real talk, and the kind of shared experiences that instantly bond every soldier, vet, and soon-to-be recruit.
If you’ve ever been voluntold, smoked for someone else’s mistake, or waited 3 hours for a 5-minute briefing… You already know what’s coming.
