Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Cool. What's basic like? My recruiter says he can have me in Basic as early as next February.

What? No, its 2. Technically its for 8, but as little as 2 can be active, with the balance being on inactive reserves. It depends on the basic. Also, keep in mind that mine was a long time ago. A lot has changed.
Anyways, much of it is spent getting into shape. Lots of running, and strength exercises. Even more time is learning discipline. Lots of drill and getting yelled at.
It can be hard if you don't mentally prepare yourself. Keep in mind that they aren't yelling at you personally. They cycle so many recruits through that its become a routine to them. So, they would be yelling the same thing at whoever was standing in your spot.
I think its still 8 weeks for basic, though that could have changed by now. Ask your recruiter the specifics.
It can be a lot of fun, and it can be hell on Earth. Its all up to you on that. It all depends on your mental outlook.
