Melissa,

Check with the Paris Island boot camp web page. There you will find all the info about boot camp and what he will be doing while he is there. There is calender as well which will tell what he is doing on each day.

My nephew is there now and is about 46 days from graduating. He's doing fine and I'm sure son will do well as well.

Sincerely,

Ron
