Boot camp was something that I do not think I would go through again, but it was certainly an interesting experience nonetheless. A real kick in the ass. I
still do not remember much of the first 3 days of it. Maybe 4 hours of sleep for those 3 days. I remember getting there, head shaving and then it is a blur until we were in our permanent barracks. Kind of scary in a way.
The last 2 weeks though, they really let up on you, especially the last week. We could sleep until 5:30am (went to bed at 9pm), go to the recruit lounge building and get pizza and play pool and arcade games; all in all a lot of earned freedom the last few days. We even ordered out on the last two or three days.
Boot camp is a lasting memory for me. It was certainly tough, both mentally (mindfucks galore) and physically (PE was hell, but I was able to run a mile and a half in 8 minutes by the end), but in a way, it was cool, and very rewarding.
Recruiters
ARE almost complete liars when discussing it with prospects. Do not be fooled.
