If there’s one thing you’ve probably learned from reading The Salty Soldier, it’s that truth is almost always stranger than fiction—especially in the military.
Seriously, you couldn’t make most of this sh*t up if you tried.
From an OF star filming adult content in an Army barracks, to a Marine’s recovering meth addict girlfriend casually bragging about living in his barracks room—some of the stories that come out of the military are so cringe they practically write themselves.
And every time we post one of these stories, our social media comments light up with even more unhinged accounts from other service members who’ve seen even worse.
A lot of them start the same way: “Meanwhile, in the barracks…”
That phrase alone should be enough to trigger flashbacks.
Every branch has that one story. And let’s be honest—when a female enters an all-male barracks, it’s like tossing a ribeye into a cage of starving wolves. You know it, we know it.
VetTV has absolutely nailed this chaotic energy in their series “Meanwhile, in the Barracks,” including an episode where two soldiers try to—uh—“collaborate” with the same girl.
Let’s just say I laughed so hard my abs hurt, and I definitely can’t describe the scene without risking a graphic content warning.
You’ll just have to see it for yourself.
