Basic Training
Week 6 - Camaraderie and Confidence

Now the training intensifies and the pace quickens as you prepare for your final proficiency tests.

Night training includes a tactical march and possibly an infiltration course. You will learn about other weapons — machine guns, grenade launchers and mines. Map and compass reading, judging terrain and determining distance and direction are also part of the training.

PT is now a general review of physical contact exercises. In fact, you will review everything you've learned up to now, and you will be amazed at how natural it's become.

Inspections will include a display of field gear, a check of foot and wall lockers, in ranks with weapons and a thorough check of the barracks.
