What is the most challenging part of USMC boot camp?

I am going to boot camp soon and was just curious.i have heard the crucible is.

I felt the hardest part was the mental part. They brake you down, and then they bend you to their way of thinking.

I think for everyone it is different.

some people can't deal with getting yelled at, some can't stand the stress of inspections, some the physical training is hardest.

and others the tests from the classroom.... but many survive all of training just fine. I'm sure you will too.
I'm sure the crucible is tough- but they wouldn't make you all do it if you
couldn't succeed.

Actually when you first arrive is the hardest. You have to stay awake for like 2 or 3 days doing all this paperwok and getting needles. Haha i think the paperwork traumatized me. Actually the liazon at the airport was the toughest out of all the DI's and SDI's I met, so prepare to get chewed out by him. The Crucible is tough but the gas chamber was worse. It made this big black guy cry haha. If you can survive the first two weeks, your good as gold because that is the hardest time.
