And correct me if I’m wrong but one of the main points of boot camp is to train them away from their individualistic “values.”
I wouldn't say "train them away from individualistic values" is accurate but there is a heavy focus on the team mentality and learning to follow orders without question. That doesn't mean the goal is to sap someone's ability to think for themselves but to respond quickly when something important, like someone's life, is on the line. Exercises like marching drills and folding your undies into three-inch squares are meant to teach following directions and the importance of working together, not removing the ability to reason and think for yourself. There's a time and a place for both, so we'll see if this particular spawn of Jen's is able to navigate that. Going in with a double bird saying "eff the patriarchy" and "Not my president" probably isn't going to get him very far.
Happy to be wrong about his chances for success but I'm doubtful he can cut it.

I agree but what I can’t figure out is where did Big Sass get this idea that he is some Big Deal Celeb because he acts like he is All That +.

Q&A! The expression on face of the woman next to him says it all, lol. So awkward I could not watch the whole thing! People who are that deficient in self awareness or that desperate for attention scare me.
I know, so awkward!!
Soooo awkward! I was waiting for him to begin singing "Let it Go" to fulfill his Broadway dreams.
