For grunts it’s literally random details and going to the gym more. Your command though will largely dictate what this looks like and it can be as good as *you’ve done everything I need right now so I’m going to treat you like an adult and release you until I need you* to *I’m a ranger instructor and everyone without a tab stays until 5 training until they get one*.
