If you know anyone who has a Graduation Book from their time in M.C.R.D....you can get some ideas for your report, especially in the first half of the book.
Also, there a couple of books that I have seen in the Public Libraries that are about M.C.R.D., one even chronicles a particular platoon throughout their cycle and then into, I believe, the Vietnam War. Crud, I wish I could remember the name of the books that I am referring to right now but ......I've hit a thought void.
Best of luck to you.

If you can find a copy of this book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0312900600/qid=1100184298/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/104-3389341-5421567
That can tell you alot more about modern boot camp today. There is a couple of other books out there too about it. This one gives you some history on USMC Recruit Training in the process though.
Noone has any personal pictures of boot camp except maybe on visitor's thursday or graduation. Heaven help you if you try and take a picture...or even possess a camera

Really? My MCRD book has a lot of pictures of us going through training.
I'm just a Private, Corporal...so I'm just speaking from experience...I don't think anyone would dare take a picture in boot camp.
MCRD book? is that a scrapbook you made or a book you bought?
I ordered some stuff but I guess they havent come yet =/

SnNmAN, You are not "JUST" a Private. You are a Private in the Marine Corps, wear it with pride!
No---lol---I did not take pictures or make a scrapboot---lol.
The pic's I refer to are the ones that you don't even know are being made and yes they are in the MCRD book that you buy.
sweet...I'll be expecting that in the mail shortly then !
I'm aiming to graduate #1 in my class for MOS school and pickup Lcpl...it may seem like a far stretch but I think I'm pretty smart so I think I can do it (96 ASVAB) :-P
Ooorah !

I hate to belabor a point, but devildog4ever, I would HIGHLY recommend obtaining a different screenname POSTHASTE. You haven't earned it, and until you do, don't claim the title.
