How The Term Boot Camp Has Evolved Over The Years
When the military (Army, Marines, Navy, etc.) start their intensive training for new recruits it is called boot camp, appropriately named for the footwear that is given to the camp trainees in the military. The basic time frame for this would begin when a civilian first arrives on a military base and lasts through an intensive basic training camp until graduation, when they officially become a soldier. Now, this term is not used strictly by the military. It is being used to describe a number of events.
Obviously, the most notorious type of program, other than the original military use of the term, is when it is used in a correctional capacity as it refers to adolescents. Normally, these types of camps are within the US Penal System and many parents send their errant teens to these programs. It uses techniques that apply to military recruits and they are also taught socially acceptable patterns of behavior. Most times the pattern follows closely to what a military training camp would entail, not at all similar to what a youth would consider a camping hiking adventure.
While there are many different meanings of the term boot camp, they all seem to have a common thread: hard work and don’t talk back. So many organizations tend to incorporate the term to suit their business and with the popularity of this type program, perhaps a touch of discipline is what many of us need. It seems that programs, such as a Fat Camp in general are available to overweight individuals who have been unsuccessful in losing weight with solitary dieting. This type of program employs strict routines and rigorously filled timetables that were formally only associated with the military. Perhaps this implies that these types of base camp environments can help those who may be unable to help themselves.
Are there other types of these camps? Yes, they are everywhere you look. There are probably some that you have never heard of, or some you can’t even believe exist, but one thing you can be sure of is that they are most definitely not like summer camp. In the 1980′s, Georgia and Oklahoma were the first to open “camps” for prisoners, done mainly to reduce the population in largely overcrowded prisons, and as a preventive measure for those likely to commit crime again. There are also camps for things such as paper and essay writing, spiritual boot camps, baby boot camps and leadership boot camps.
Any parent will tell you that the teenage years may be difficult, but is sending your troubled teen to a boot camp the answer? There are many conflicting opinions on the subject as to whether this type juvenile training will turn out a well adjusted, socially adept “happy camper,” or is it only a temporary solution at best.
