I seriously doubt ‘they’ could get away with such a schedule in ANY Boot Camp today....
The ‘regulars’ would probably be fine BUT the snow flakes, those confused what they are and the girls would probably protest and get ‘sick’...
Course they need all available time to make sure EVERYONE is up on the latest fashions, walk in high heels to show the guys how hard the girls got it etc etc etc
Probably don’t have the Firing Range either..can’t upset the darlins’ with things that go boom....
As EVERY ‘old fart’ has said since the Last Supper — with this latest crop of recruits/laborers/ etc we are doomed.
Boy Scouting fully prepared me for USAF Basic Training, and really the whole military experience. Years of already keeping my gigline straight and trying to be the sharpest trooper in the Troop.
One of our Scouting Trips was to the Naval Base at Norfolk. Toured a Carrier, and a Sub. We slept overnight in a Naval open bay Barracks, three bunks high, and were awakened with a yeoman shouting over the PA System, "Réveille, Réveille, all hands Réveille!" Then, the truly thunderous report of hundreds of Sailor's feet slamming the floor at once that shook the whole dormitory building. That was a wake-up call for life.

So, yeah, you're right.
