Did anything like that happen to you when you were in the military?

Only in boot camp.
We were marched off to church every sunday

It was voluntary at Navy RTC San Diego in the late 70s when I was there.

My DI's at Parris Island told us to give our hearts to Jesus because our
asses belonged to them.

In 65 it was less than voluntary in boot camp. If you didn't want to
go to church they would find something for you to do that would make
you talk to god ...
... even if it was only to have him damn the grease trap you were
cleaning out. ;-)

In real life it was a peaceful hour or two in air conditioned space.

As I remember it was a couple hours without getting yelled at.
Good thing we did all that before we found true love and got married. That
mean assed ol company commander couldn't hold a candle to a ****ed off wife.
We just wouldn't be impressed anymore.
