Yup! totally. The air force also apparently has more time home than any other faction of the armed forces. They seem to let you go back to where you are for longer and more frequent visits. Anyways, my friend leaves tomorrow for bootcamp 
I told him to "Have Fun" and told him it's a great program to lose weight
Now that's what I need... A bootcamp that forces me to lose weight. IIRC, i saw someplace you can hire an ex-drill sargent to make you go through an out-of-military bootcamp. Either that, or do what Warren Buffet thought of for like youth and what he says there needs to be for kids.
General Idea:
Every person in the camp should be forced to get up on time. They should be dressed professionally and they should be at work on time.
Everyday they should meet performance marks so that when they go back to the barracks, they have a meal waiting for them. No work = no food. Everyone is forced to pay for what they get. Toothpaste, extra clothes/etc... Usually done via performance points. This in itsself is more rewards knowing that what you did affects you in life. You will feel more gratified when you take care of yourself on your own.
^^ I think that would work for todays youth
They don't know the value of putting in an honest hard-day's work
Anyways. thanks guys for sitting through my rant about the army. It's hard to see someone go in and wonder. I may have few friends, but they matter a lot of to me. And when stuff like this happens, I just worry about it. I have seen too much happen with families around me (My mom's friend lost her son in Iraq and another friend's husband died in afghanistan). So it's hard.
