Basic Training
Week 8 - Victory Forge

You are almost there. Your M-16 now responds to your will. You have met and mastered the physical and mental challenges put before you. Now there is another, larger component of soldiering that you will also master: character.

Character is the foundation for all you will do as a soldier and all you can become. BCT has brought you this far; the Army National Guard will take you further.

Throughout your training, you will learn the seven Army Values: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage. You will learn how they sustain a soldier in times of peace and conflict. You will study Army National Guard ethics and standards of conduct.

You will study human awareness, race relations and prevention of sexual harassment. And you will know, through honoring duty and country, the legacy of those who served before you.
