Basic Training/Boot Camp

Military basic training isn't created equally in every branch.

Just when you think you can't keep your eyes open any longer, your drill instructor will tell everyone to hit the rack.

Every recruit who goes through basic training is subjected to training in the gas chamber. Learn how to prepare for it.

When you're done with MEPS, it's time to take the oath and head out to basic training.

So you're to report to Fort Jackson for basic training. Welcome to the Army's largest Training and Doctrine Command post.

The Marines can provide an opportunity to see the world while serving, but for some, it's the start of a better life.

The old adage about the military way should really read, "The right way, the wrong way and the basic training way."

In military basic training, there's no such thing as sleeping in. You'll get up at 5 a.m., every single day.

The military branches have several basic training locations. Your destination depends on several factors.

Basic training isn't the place for leisure. Personal grooming and even eating become timed, organized and regulated affairs.
