Go to 'Go Army' and you can watch a video on what Basic Combat Training is like. Each person has their own thoughts about Basic, to some it is easy to others it will be the hardest thing they will ever do in their lives. Those who have hard times are those who were babied their entire life, never got yelled at, have issues with authority figures, have issues running or any type of physical activity, those who have a history of quitting on themselves and others, have never been away from home, can not go without television, their cellphones or the internet for more than one hour. Basic is to easy, it is more mental than physical, you mind will always quit before your body will. No one basic is easier than the other as well the Marines Boot Camp is not easier or harder than the US Army's, each person is different.
