David, Don't bother with preplanning. The physical aspect can be mastered by anyone. The hardest part of boot camp is the mental strengthening that the DI...
For me, the best way to prepare to bootcamp was to run, run, and run. I have always been physically strong, but not so much conditioned. If you have good...

NJA, thanks for taking the words out of my mouth (or my fingers, so to speak). I actually replied to SSgt's "accusation" the same way you did prior to reading...
If I took it wrong, then I apoligize. I know that I spent many days supervising both IST's and PFT's, and if a Recruit or Marine is sloppy, or cheats, he will...

I don't think that has ever changed, nor will ever change as long as there is a U.S. Marine Corps. As for a gentler/kindler recruit training, maybe a little...
