It portrays the training and challenges presented to the young women by their instructors. The boot camp includes academic classes, tactical practices, shooting practice, gas chamber exercises, survival excursions, obstacle course, rappelling, etc. The films end with a celebratory ceremony, showing the emotional women who’ve completed the boot camp. Note: unlike most films in our collections, this movie originates from a videotape master and has lesser quality than our normal posts.
