 | WEEK 00: RECEPTION
This
is where your civilian life becomes part of the Army world—from bidding
farewell to family to getting your Army haircut to making sure you're
physically fit. |
|
 | WEEK 01: FALL IN
Once
Reception Week completes, it's now time to understand new rules,
regulations and processes involved in being in the Army. Classroom
instruction begins. |
|
 | WEEK 02: DIRECTION
Leaving
the classroom for the field, it's time to test your physical and mental
endurance, and also get trained in First Aid and map reading. |
|
 | WEEK 03: ENDURANCE
One
thing you'll realize in Week 03 is to believe in the mantra: mind over
matter. Physical and mental challenges build as you start simulated
combat drills. |
|
 | WEEK 04: MARKSMANSHIP
Learning
to shoot a rifle is more than pulling the trigger. Marksmanship courses
teach new recruits not only the proper way to hold a weapon, but also
how to breathe and stand while firing are equally important. |
|
 | WEEK 05: TRIALS
This is where the previous weeks' work pays off: tests in endurance and marksmanship await all recruits. |
|
 | WEEK 06: CAMARADERIE
Each recruit is only as strong as his platoon. During Week 06, bonds are tested and trust exercises implemented. |
|
 | WEEK 07: CONFIDENCE
Hand grenade training; live fire exercises; foot marching; and overall physical fitness are tested in the Confidence Course. |
|
 | WEEK 08: VICTORY FORGE
It's time to put everything you've learned up to this point to the real test: a three-day field retreat to Victory Forge. |
|
 | WEEK 09: GRADUATION
All your hard work has led you to this day. Family and friends eagerly await to see you complete your Basic Training course. |
