I'm hoping someone will be able to help you out Lauran as they always have in the past.

Have you looked at all the stuff here on bootcamp? it is very up to date and should give you the information you are looking for. You must remember, the bootcamp experience seems to effect everyone differently...like my son had a very easy time with PT, others have not. My son felt the classroom stuff was a breeze, some didnt. I think alot has to do with how well you are prepared when you get there and know the things you should know before you go and can do all the PT requirements before as well.
Also...many stress before they leave for boot...but once there it seems to all fall into place, and they do much better than they thought they would.

Yes I have read some of the stuff but it is mostly guys.. I wanted some womens perspective.. yea I am as prepared as I am gonna get. I have studied and exercised so I am hoping that it will be a breeze for me like it was for your son! =)

One thing my son told me is that they really dont treat the women any different while at boot...same requirements other than the number of sit-ups, push-ups and such. It really will depend on your instructors for your division..some are relatively nice, some are not. Just remember to try and stay under the radar so to speak...like in the middle..dont stand out. Unless you want to become an RPOC(someone in charge of something that is a recruit), like mail, etc. But if you mess up, your whole division will pay the price.
