It depends on the person and the branch. Many people cite the physical training and the mental stress games. About.com and Military.com have great Free Bmt guides that helped me get through BMT

Female vs. male usually doesn't matter. The hardest part will be the part that you have the least experience with. If you're in great physical shape already, then that part will be easy. If you are used to getting yelled at and told that you're not worth the sh!t that runs down the crack of your mama's @$$, then you'll handle the belittling well also. Yes, I'm serious, they said that sort of thing to us all the time in basic training...just to see if they could break you mentally. I knew going in that they could yell and scream and call me and everyone I know names, but they couldn't touch me...so there was nothing for me to be scared of. Get your mind made up before you go that it's temporary, and the reward of serving your country will be worth the mental and physical games after it's all said and done. Good luck!

Its a mind-conditioning process where your thinking is converted into the military mentality way. No matter how bad things may seem to get, just keep in mind that basic training serves as a tool to separate those who can't adjust to the mental strain of being exposed to an environment you're not use to. People who can't stand up to the rigors of basic training, are more than likely not going to survive when they're exposed to a real combat situation, where people are getting killed, or seriously injured all around them. There had been cases of people going insane upon experiencing their first live-fire combat experience, back in the civil war era. From that experience, the military introduced basic training.

Hardest part for me was the emotional stuff. I didn't agree with how they treated people a lot of the time. Took it to extremes that didn't need to be taken. I think it depends on the person though as to what is the hardest.

The mind games. Keep a good sense of humor, listen to what you are told to do and help your fellow troops out and you'll be fine

Not wanting to quit when things get a little rough.
When your platoon sargeant gets in your face, it's not personal. He has a job to do and he's going to do it. This is when you have to reach inside your heart and find that little extra to get you through.

I personally didn't enjoy getting punished when other people screwed up. That happened more at AIT than basic for me, though.
