    Whats hard for him may not be for me..Everyone has their own opinion on what was the hardest..

    I think the most difficult thing in USMC boot camp is the constant movement and occupation of your time..From the time you get up your moving or in a class until about 1000pm..and that takes its toll on you..

    You can go to my profile page and click the link there..There is alot of boot camp info there and you can read about what it means and takes to become a Marine..There are also some boot camp stories there..

    Hardest part is an awful vague question. Toughest thing you are physically put through? Id say the crucible. Thoughest mental challenge? Well, for your boyfriend, probably yelling in his face about you being back home cheating on him. They will say whatever they can to make them break down, all as part of the process of making them the best they can be. Congratulations on your Boyfriend making the decision on becoming a Marine! You will get good letters, and bad. but make sure you are always supportive of him, and dont get frustrated if he doesnt write to you as much as you wish, he is very busy. And the time he has to himself he is probably using to study or rest. Good luck to the both of you
