    This must not be like Normal for you Army types. ( Marine here ) I know Marine Corps Bootcamp at MCRD Parris Island, our 1st day began at 0200 stepping on the little yellow footprints, and being yelled at by everyone from the Marine CPL at the Airport in Charleston, to the Bus driver who took us to P.I. P.I. is like being on another planet, a hostile planet with people who seem to hate your guts and you annoy them greatly. You spend the next 3 months being told what, when, where, and how, sunup to sundown, and you do not deviate from that until you graduate. There are no "easy nice" days. I am not trying to "outdo" the Army here, Just telling it like it was for us in 1981 at Parris Island. we adapted, just as you do to it. It is weird coming from the civilian world as a 17yr old, into that world. when you graduate, you are a different animal than what got off that bus. Kids today need that culture shock, just as we did. You think you have a fine bead on things at that age, but find out quick, you don't know nothing. Glad to see young people still joining. The Nation needs them. Semper Fi.

    It was that way for the Army also in 1981 like you had it. All hell breaking loose on day 1. Now the services added an extra week at Basic for only in processing. That is haircuts, uniform issue, shots, dental, etc. The Marines do the same thing, called receiving week. Marine's boot camp is 13 weeks.

    This is to establish correct dressing and clothing habits for recruits. Due to the different culture and education level of recruits, many new recruits have wrong dressing habits before joining the army. For example, some young people will deliberately wear fat pants, and some will deliberately choose a particularly tight size. So it is necessary for the army to give them corrections during their recruit years
