Army utilizes a different kind of boot camp to bolster recruiting numbers

Columbia, South Carolina — The recruits are up before dawn at Fort Jackson, an Army base in South Carolina.

But this is not your father's boot camp. Instructors here act more like personal trainers than drill sergeants. Army Staff Sgt. Ben Thomas says that is intentional.

"Yes, we are treating them a little differently," Thomas told CBS News. "We also want to instill some of the discipline in them, but not necessarily by yelling or screaming at them."
