It sucks, but it's a lot of fun. You'll never forget your drill sergeants. 

I graduated Ft. Benning this year.

I wouldn't venture to say it's "hard". It's more of a challenge. Some people just don't have the stomach for the military life. I know quite a few good people who went nuts over the course of their time there. My battle buddy tried to kill himself 3 times before they sent him home. Then there were a lot of sh*tbags (a term you'll become very familiar with) that passed.

That would depend on your physical condition prior to reporting, your motivation, and how homesick you get while you are in training.  From 1-10 would depend on the person.

Greg is right. Basic Training is harder for some than others. Focus on yourself, and your motivations for why you joined/intend to join.
