3.  What does it mean to "get smoked"?  Will I be "getting smoked"?



"Getting smoked" is a term you will hear quite often!  It basically means that you are doing some kind of serious physical activity, most likely for something you have done or failed to do.  For example, let's say the drill sergeant comes and inspects your equipment and you and your platoon have done a poor job.  He will probably say "Drop!", which is your cue to get down and start doing push-ups.  He will have you doing push-ups (and any other type of exercise) for what seems like an indefinite period of time!  This is called "getting smoked".  And yes, you will be "getting smoked" quite often.  The added benefit is that it'll get you in shape.
