Videos of trainees to personal accounts in the first place, would think that should route through the public affairs officer for approval to be posted on official pages.

We had all kinds of wild things occur in my company when I went through boot camp decades ago, suicide attempt, drill instructor affair with a female recruit, 5 people (3 males, 2 females) were reverted back for getting a motel room on off base liberty and having a sex party, a drill instructor was removed after taking us at 2am in February to march into the ocean and a few people got hypothermia. If there were video cameras everywhere back then, oh boy.
