First Off Gratz and welcome back
Second can you go over generally what went on throughout boot on a summary type deal, what would you rate it on a scale of 1-10 as far as being difficult ( rate without the initial culture shock for people with low to no discipline )
how lenient were they with liberties etc.

I classed up in a week, I have actually been in school for almost 3 weeks now. I heard later in the summer the wait gets longer though.

I thought boot camp was really easy, the hardest part for me was tolerating female drama from 100 other girls at one time lol.

Can you be more specific about female drama? I mean, I can use my imagination, but I have limited experience living with other women in close quarters, and was never bullied, so I can literally only imagine . . .
