Just Graduated!
Hey y'all. Fresh bootcamp grad here. Boot camp has changed a lot recently. Right now I'm at NTTC Lackland for A-school so if you've got questions ask away.

The PT has changed a lot, its gotten soft. Even the ITE is all regulated. You now get 2 peanut butter shots. I can't recall ALL the changes but there was a lot I didn't expect.

I get OC in a week. P-days sucks bad still. No sleep, no pt, lots of stenciling and folding. Survive P-Days and you'll survive boot camp. Battlestations I can't talk about much but just know I went in expecting the time of my life and all I got was hurry up and wait.

You PT six times a week and its basic stuff like pushups and situps. During PT your RDCs are nice-ish so its fun. No 8 counts or mountain climbers but plenty of 10 counts and pillar bridges.

How many recruits are going through bootcamp at once at RTC would you say? And how many do you process with during p-days?

A LOT! As there is a PIR every Friday and can have well over a couple hundred and sometimes more..depends on how many divisions graduate that week., and how many in each division make it through.
