going to basic camp, what should i expect?

hello all, first time poster here. i’m currently in cc but will transfer to a csu for the fall semester and hopefully be a contracted msiii. i’ve been in contact with the army rotc recruiter and have filled out all forms and have been told i’ve been slotted for basic camp this summer. i’m sure he will provide me with more details about it, but for now, is there anything i should know? can anyone tell me their experiences in details— like their daily routine. what should i expect? i’m somewhat introverted (which i know isn’t ideal but i’m hoping to build leadership as well as other skills from the program). it easy to get to know others/make friends (though i know we’re competing versus each other but still). also, what should i pack? and if im traveling through LAX, can my parents drop me off or must i go with the school im in the program at?
also, for anyone with overprotective parents, what and how did you tell them? i’m scared to tell my parents but i’m going whether they allow me to or not.
sorry, i have so many questions about this so any information or advice would be really helpful. thank you!
