smoke session

Definition

An intense, often punitive physical training session designed to exhaust and discipline soldiers. Has nothing to do with tobacco and everything to do with suffering.

Example Usage

After three people failed room inspection, the whole platoon got a smoke session until someone threw up.

Origin

Possibly from 'smoking' as slang for thoroughly defeating or exhausting someone

Fun Fact

Modern regulations have attempted to limit smoke sessions, but creative NCOs have found countless ways to deliver 'corrective training' that technically complies with the letter of the law.
