How do military boot camps work?

Military boot camps are intensive training programmes for new recruits, designed to instil discipline, teamwork, and essential skills. They are physically and mentally demanding, preparing individuals for the challenges of military service. The government's AI boot camps share the 'intensive training' idea, but focus on tech skills rather than military readiness, aiming to get young people into jobs.
