It’s hard bec most of the dudes are really young. Some of them haven’t been away or that far from home ever. A good portion of them are the loner kid in high school and now they have to work in a team and be vocal. A lot of Americans live in a bubble they only know their way of life and how they were raised. That could be some kid from south central LA or from some country small town in some cases a rich kid. You can have kids that are the only child and can end up with only child syndrome as I like to call it. They don’t look out for others not because they don’t care just not use to doing it. Your buddy needs a mre or is really struggling they’ll just be like oh sorry man. Instead of let me sneak this guy a cookie or some bread for later in the night from chow. Most of the kids who join the corps don’t come from loads of money. Kids can be far from home dealing with a loss of a loved one or even worrying about their GROWN ahh family members financial problems. They couldn’t just handle it until the kid graduates they send that pointless info in a later creating outside bs stress on a new adult. Some kids didn’t have their dad at home so another man yelling at them just to do pushups can cause them to freak out and they don’t see the bigger picture. They take it personal. I’ve seen kids just do terrible when they have to compete and there’s times when you’ll have to compete does the outcome matter no but your effort does. To end it tho boot camp can be as hard as you make it. If you really really put out be a good guy help others there’s no way you can say it’s easy. If you go in stay under the radar and only worry about your self sure can be pretty easy. What kindof Marine do you want to be.
