Thank you! I agree with this completely. I graduated from boot 08 Feb 13 and we didn't get phone calls every week (2 phone calls to be exact). But I'll tell you right now, the Navy doesn't need Sailors as strong as Marines (unless going FMF ;) ), but the IT and the punishment they made us do are ment to break you down mentally with a hint of the physical aspect. My RDCs knew what to say to each individual, to break them down. They made not have cried, but you could tell what they said to us hit home and some people were hit harder than others. I don't really agree with the phone call every week, but having an extra call or two would've been nice. I didn't live with my family before boot and didnt get to see them very often. Once you learn how to be an adult, you'll appreciate those extra phone calls.
