Gary,

If you have not attended a boot camp how do you know what works???? How
would you compare 2 weeks at home versus what you get from a boot camp??
Once you compare the cost of being home for 2 weeks to the cost of a boot
camp, you will soon see that the boot camp works out cheaper and you may
learn bunch of things that you would not on your own.
