Basic Training
Week 1 - Reception and Fall In
The commencement of your military training starts with various physical exercises and plenty of running, all meant to adjust your body to basic training and get it into shape.
You will start learning the Manual of Arms of the M-16 rifle. This is called Army Drill and Ceremonies.
You will find out what guard duty is all about — including the composition, purpose, and duties of a guard, and the meaning of General and Special Orders.
You may start on your Basic Rifle Marksmanship Course (BRMC) and learn the function and nomenclature of your rifle — how to assemble, disassemble, clean the weapon and adjust the sight.
You will learn to prepare for and have your first barracks' inspection. Should your first inspection not be good enough, don't worry — you'll get better!
