Short answer: No.

Long answer: If you don't think you can stand to be yelled at, told what to do, where to go, how to stand, how to speak, or how to move on a daily basis for two months, then you will probably not like it very much at the least.

Becoming acclimated is the most difficult. People who have never been away from home will probably find the change in routine shocking. Recruits wake up every morning at 6AM, 0r sometimes 4-5AM during your first week when you're processing, and go to bed every night at 10PM; most lose weight due to physical activity and eating three balanced meals a day. Training starts after breakfast and doesn't quit except for meals. After dinner more training is conducted in the barracks until bed time.

It is best to be able to swim at least well enough to stay afloat and move forward in water, however, if you can't swim they will teach you (this is a pain in the butt and not recommended).

The easiest way out of boot camp once you hit the "what have I done?" stage is to graduate. If you really just cannot adjust to the military lifestyle it is possible to get out of your contract, but that will not happen during boot camp and more likely not until the end of your first year.

If you go into it with the right attitude--which is "do whatever they tell me to"--then you can actually have a lot of fun. Keep your mouth shut and listen very closely to instructions. When in doubt about instructions, it is best to do what everybody around you is doing. Just step back for a minute and realize the ridiculousness of the situation you've put yourself in and understand that it will end eventually.

The truth of the matter is that boot camp will not be "easy" no matter what branch of the military you decide to go.
