They can have you make sugar cookies. Trust me, it doesn't get much worse than that.
And even that teaches a valuable lesson

Just so you all don't think there is a baking class in Marine Corps boot camp, let me define "Suger Cookie".
How to make a "Suger Cookie".
Drill Instructor marches the platoon to the motivation (sand) pit.
For approx 15 min he will have recruits conduct calisthenics until a nice coat of sweat covers them.
Then DI will have recruits roll around in sand. Then lay on their backs and throw sand in the air. Sometimes called "Making it rain."
Then you are well covered with sand and have a "Sugar Cookie" look.
Try marching around all day like that. Every pivot point on you body, your neck and various "Other" places look and feel like you hit them with a belt sander.
Doesn't get much better than that.
