I do have one question. Since when did they start calling it boot camp? When I was in it was Marine Corp Basic Training and we got flogged if we called it boot camp. (Not trying to be an a$$. Just want to know)

Its the opposite now. "Boot camp" is the standard name. If you call it "basic", you'll get flogged. "Basic" is what Army guys call it these days.
