What does the military boot camp consist of?I notice they are really lean and trim.?

Answer 1

1. Regular sleeping and eating times. Early bedtime, early rise, three square meals a day. No snacking time generally.

2. A lot of exercise. Marching, physical training, some competitive sports.

3. Field exercises and military training, use of weapons, individual combat, plenty of work.

4. Cleaning the barracks and your own stuff. When you complete boot camp you could be someone's wife just for the cleaning you've learned how to do.

5. People yelling at you every time you turn around.

Answer 2

It depends on what boot camp you go to. The Marines are probably the hardest then comes the army, navy and the air force is probably the easiest. When I was in the navy, it was easy. Matter of fact I gain 30 lbs, probably half muscle and half fat. The cardio aspect was easy, but I was already in shape. So, basically depending on what you're looking for well be the major decision.
