Ah, not sure what you know about the military, but they give you everything you need including but not limited to... food (sucks), clothes (sucks), a gym, a blanket, soap, toothbrush, razors, a bed, a roof, and yes, even a TV. And your free time in the pipeline is solely a function of how smart you are and how much trouble you stay out of. I had all the free time in the world since I was on "vols" the entire time and I barely put in an extra hour. And in prototype, I was a "time traveler" and most of the time I put in less time than the staff. I was smart enough to cruise through though and stay under the radar. Now you can't do that though since everything is computerized. And although they have dumbed down the program for the last decade, the last few years have REALLY seen a huge drop in actual required knowledge and standards. You used to have to take your own notes. Now you get to fill in the blanks. You don't even have to know how the core is actually constructed anymore. But amazingly, people still fail out... mostly because of immaturity and poor time management. Although the material isn't that challenging, the pace at which they cram it down your throat can be. Goodluck.
