Basic isn't over yet, leave began during our 7th week. 8 is the final week with 9 being pretty much graduation prep.
It's hard. I mean I did fine. Qualified with an M16 rifle first try, qualified with hand grenades, scored 255/300 on the physical fitness test (got a chance again in January, I want around 280) did a 8 mile march, 6 mile march, and 4 mile march with 50 pounds of gear and my M16 in like... 25 degree weather. The Oklahoma wind pierces your ****in' skin, the drill sergeants berate everyone (even those they like) the people get at each other over stress in the bay, etc
But the reality is you keep a tough skin, listen, do, and succeed. It's as the name says, it's BASIC training. I go to Georgia for Officer Training in Feb post basic.
stud.
congrats dude
