I went to basic training and looking back on it, it's almost funny how easy it was compared to other training and situations I was in, but RELATIVE to my life up to that point it was way harder than anything I had experienced as a high schooler. and relatively speaking it was harder than any other training that came later that was actually more challenging. I'm not sure if that makes sense but i'm agreeing with you.

It’s kinda weird how that works out. You’d think that every time you experienced something that was harder than anything you’d done before it would be a big deal, but apparently, basic training works on a meta-level. Instead of learning how to get through that particular hard experience, you learn that you can always get through a harder experience than you’ve ever dealt with before.
