Training also includes combat conditioning by running an obstacle course, the Confidence Course, conducting marches of varying distances up to 12 miles, physical training, and Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP), a martial arts program based on the combination of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, judo, Muay Thai, boxing, and a number of others.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Recruits are trained to adopt the Army "Warrior Ethos", and to memorize and live by the <a href="/wiki/Soldier%27s_Creed" title="Soldier's Creed">Soldier's Creed</a>. </p><p>BCT is divided into three phases. During Phase I, (also known as "Red Phase") recruits are subject to "Total Control," meaning their every action is monitored and constantly corrected by drill sergeants. The first week of training is commonly referred to as "Hell Week," due to the intense period of adjustment required on the part of the new recruits. Marches are common throughout basic training. Recruits are sent to the "gas chamber" during Phase I, as part of training for defensive chemical warfare. They are also introduced to their standard-issue weapon, the <a href="/wiki/M16A2_rifle" class="mw-redirect" title="M16A2 rifle">M16A2 rifle</a>, the <a href="/wiki/M16A4" class="mw-redirect" title="M16A4">M16A4</a> rifle, or <a href="/wiki/M4_carbine" title="M4 carbine">M4 carbine</a>. </p><p>In Phase II (also known as "White Phase") soldiers begin actually firing weapons, starting with the rifle or carbine (<a href="/wiki/M4A1" class="mw-redirect" title="M4A1">M4A1</a>). Other weapons the recruit becomes familiarized with include various grenades (such as the M67 fragmentation grenade) and grenade launchers (such as the M203). Recruits are then familiarized with the bayonet, anti-tank/armor weaponry and other heavy weapons. The course also includes an obstacle course which the soldiers are expected to negotiate in a certain amount of time. Additionally, Phase II includes continual, intense PT, along with drill and ceremony training. At the conclusion of Phase II, Soldiers are to demonstrate proficiency with the various weaponry with which they trained. </p><p>Phase III or "Blue Phase," is the culmination and the most challenging of all the training phases. A final PT test is administered during the first week. Recruits who fail are frequently retested, often up until the morning of their cycle's graduation. If they do not pass, then they are recycled to another platoon that is in an earlier phase of the training cycle until they meet the fitness standards. The final PT Test is the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). Usually, a soldier needs to score at least 60 points in each APFT category (pushups, planks, and 2 mile run) to pass, but in Basic Combat Training, only 50 points are required; the soldier will nevertheless take another APFT with a 60-point requirement at AIT. During Blue Phase, the recruits move on to such longer and more intensive "bivouac" and FTX (<a href="/wiki/Field_Training_Exercise" class="mw-redirect" title="Field Training Exercise">Field Training Exercises</a>) as nighttime combat operations. Drill sergeants will make much of this an adversarial process by working against the recruits in many of the night operations and trying to foil plans, etc. </p><p>Upon completion of Basic Combat Training, a recruit is now a soldier, and has developed skills to operate in a combat environment, as a basic rifleman and to perform his or her MOS-specific duties under fire. </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="U.S._Marine_Corps">U.S. Marine Corps</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Military_recruit_training&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: U.S. Marine Corps"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps_Recruit_Training" title="United States Marine Corps Recruit Training">United States Marine Corps Recruit Training</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Marine-drill-instructor.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Marine-drill-instructor.jpg/220px-Marine-drill-instructor.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="134" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Marine-drill-instructor.jpg/330px-Marine-drill-instructor.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Marine-drill-instructor.jpg/440px-Marine-drill-instructor.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2652" data-file-height="1620" /></a><figcaption>A U.S. Marine Corps Drill Instructor works with enlistees, or individuals who have not left yet for recruit training.

West coast recruits also do swim qualification during this phase. Phase two is completely in the field at <a href="/wiki/Marine_Corps_Base_Camp_Pendleton" title="Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton">Camp Pendleton</a> for west coast recruits, with the first two weeks being spent on marksmanship training and qualification with the M16A4 service rifle, and the last week in the field learning skills such as fireteam formations, land navigation, and hikes. For east coast recruits, phase two is swim qualification, rifle qualification, and Team Week, a week of maintenance duties for the island as a show of how to perform base support tasks while still keeping military bearing and attention to detail. Phase three brings the San Diego recruits back to the recruit depot where they finish up with final drill, final inspection, more PT and confidence courses, and graduation. During third phase, west coast recruits also go back into the field one last time to do the Crucible event. Parris Island recruits finish with field training, final drill and inspection, the Crucible, and graduation. Note that recruits going to either depot receive exactly the same training, if in a different order.

Following BMT, airmen/guardians go to a technical school (or 'tech school') where they learn the specifics of their <a href="/wiki/Air_Force_Specialty_Code" title="Air Force Specialty Code">Air Force Specialty Code</a> (AFSC), which is equivalent to the MOS (<a href="/wiki/Military_Occupational_Specialty" class="mw-redirect" title="Military Occupational Specialty">Military Occupational Specialty</a>) in the Army and Marines, the Navy's NEC (Naval Enlisted Classification) code, or the Coast Guard's ratings. </p><p>All non-prior-service enlistees are required to complete BMT, including those enlisting in the <a href="/wiki/Air_National_Guard" title="Air National Guard">Air National Guard</a> and <a href="/wiki/Air_Force_Reserve_Command" title="Air Force Reserve Command">Air Force Reserve Command</a>. Reserve component enlistees receive the same training as their active-duty counterparts. Credit can be given on a case-by-case basis for enlistees with college credit. Eagle Scouts and service in the <a href="/wiki/Civil_Air_Patrol" title="Civil Air Patrol">Civil Air Patrol</a> qualify for promotion to E-2 (<a href="/wiki/Airman" title="Airman">airman</a>) or E-3 (<a href="/wiki/Airman_first_class" title="Airman first class">airman first class</a>) upon graduation from BMT. The stripes are not worn until graduation, though trainees are paid at the higher pay grade. </p><p>Lackland AFB has been associated with BMT for almost the Air Force's entire history. From 1950 to 1956, 300,000 airmen received BMT at <a href="/wiki/Sampson_Air_Force_Base" title="Sampson Air Force Base">Sampson Air Force Base</a> in New York. In 1951, <a href="/wiki/Parks_Air_Force_Base" class="mw-redirect" title="Parks Air Force Base">Parks Air Force Base</a> in <a href="/wiki/Dublin,_California" title="Dublin, California">Dublin, California</a>, became a BMT center, with training beginning in March 1952. BMT at Parks AFB ceased later in the decade and the installation was transferred to the U.S. Army in 1959. For a brief time between 1966 and 1968, the Air Force operated a second BMT at <a href="/wiki/Rick_Husband_Amarillo_International_Airport#Amarillo_Air_Force_Base_(1951–1968)" title="Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport">Amarillo Air Force Base</a> in <a href="/wiki/Amarillo,_Texas" title="Amarillo, Texas">Amarillo, Texas</a>. </p><p>Unlike the Army and Navy, but like the Marine Corps (throughout boot camp) and Coast Guard (during the first section of boot camp), trainees are required to refer to all airmen and guardians of all ranks as "sir" or "ma'am". Trainees are required to preface speaking to military training instructors with their reporting statement: "Sir/Ma'am, Trainee (the recruit's surname) reports as ordered". </p><p>An additional two weeks of BMT was added to the program on November 1, 2008, extending the duration of BMT from six and a half weeks to eight and a half weeks. BMT has been tailored to incorporate some of the additional warfighting skills to coincide with increased Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) rotations and more frequent support of its sister services during those rotations.<sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2015, BMT was shortened once again to seven and a half weeks. Trainees still stay at Lackland for eight and half weeks, however, the eighth week following graduation they are moved to a more relaxed environment under a program called Airman's Week, which is designed to transition trainees to technical training. </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="U.S._Coast_Guard">U.S. Coast Guard</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Military_recruit_training&action=edit&section=34" title="Edit section: U.S. Coast Guard"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:USCG_Basic_Training.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/USCG_Basic_Training.jpg/220px-USCG_Basic_Training.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="134" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/USCG_Basic_Training.jpg/330px-USCG_Basic_Training.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/USCG_Basic_Training.jpg/440px-USCG_Basic_Training.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1596" data-file-height="969" /></a><figcaption>A Coast Guard Company Commander instructs a recruit during recruit training.</figcaption></figure> <p>Recruit training for the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard" title="United States Coast Guard">U.S. Coast Guard</a> is held at <a href="/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard_Training_Center_Cape_May" title="United States Coast Guard Training Center Cape May">Coast Guard Training Center Cape May</a> in <a href="/wiki/Cape_May,_New_Jersey" title="Cape May, New Jersey">Cape May, New Jersey</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>44<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Coast Guard base on Government Island (now known as <a href="/wiki/Coast_Guard_Island" title="Coast Guard Island">Coast Guard Island</a>) <a href="/wiki/Alameda,_California" title="Alameda, California">Alameda, California</a> was also used as a second major recruit training center until it was closed in 1982. The official standard recruit training cycle lasts eight weeks. A limited number of recruits may face reversion to earlier weeks of training should they exhibit egregious deficiencies in attitude and/or aptitude. </p><p>As an alternate for those recruits possessing prior military service or civilian job skills, Coast Guard recruit basic training offers an abbreviated route to completion of basic training with the Direct Entry Petty Officer Training program (DEPOT) "The goal of the Direct Entry Petty Officer Training Course is to produce petty officers who on the basis of their civilian professions, prior military experience, or a combination of both" are otherwise duly qualified.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Coast Guard boot camp covers basic seamanship, drill, military bearing, and firefighting. The U.S. Coast Guard is unique among the armed services in that it fires the <a href="/wiki/SIG_Sauer_P229" class="mw-redirect" title="SIG Sauer P229">SIG Sauer P229R</a> pistol as well as the <a href="/wiki/M16_rifle" title="M16 rifle">M16 rifle</a> during the training.<sup id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Although the Coast Guard is a part of the <a href="/wiki/Department_of_Homeland_Security" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of Homeland Security">Department of Homeland Security</a>, rather than the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Defense" title="United States Department of Defense">Department of Defense</a>, it is by law and tradition a branch of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Armed_Forces" title="United States Armed Forces">United States Armed Forces</a>. As with all military personnel, coast guardsmen are subject to the <a href="/wiki/Uniform_Code_of_Military_Justice" title="Uniform Code of Military Justice">Uniform Code of Military Justice</a> (UCMJ). Due to the Coast Guard's unique mission set – including <a href="/wiki/CONUS" class="mw-redirect" title="CONUS">CONUS</a> and <a href="/wiki/CONUS#CONUS/OCONUS" class="mw-redirect" title="CONUS">OCONUS</a> defense operations, search and rescue and maritime law enforcement – there are added requirements to maintain high physical fitness standards and military bearing. Due to its unusual, diverse and difficult mission, the U.S. Coast Guard is the most selective in recruiting and training standards. As an example, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard_Academy" title="United States Coast Guard Academy">Coast Guard Academy</a> is the only service academy that uses competitive admissions for prospective officer candidates rather than congressional appointment. </p><p>During their time at Cape May, recruits are subjected to the usual "boot camp" atmosphere of direct instruction and intense motivation. Recruits must adhere to strict rules such as hygiene and uniform regulations and obey all lawful orders. The recruits are designated as seaman recruits (SR; E-1). Unique to the Coast Guard among the armed services, recruits successfully completing basic recruit training are advanced to the rank of seaman apprentice/fireman apprentice (SA/FA; E-2) or seaman/fireman (SN/FN; E-3) upon graduation—the difference generally based on the level of higher education the graduate possesses. Coast Guard drill instructors are called "company commanders" and hold a rank ranging from petty officer 2nd class (E-5) up to senior chief petty officer (E-8). Coast Guard companies have approximately two or three company commanders and anywhere from 20 to over 100 recruits. </p><p>After completing boot camp, recruits can select their rating and then attend an "A" school. Few graduates go straight to "A" school; most spend up to a year in the fleet as "non-rates". "A" school is a long-term technical school providing specific instruction about a rating. The "A" schools last two to six months and usually occur at <a href="/wiki/Training_Center_Yorktown" class="mw-redirect" title="Training Center Yorktown">TRACEN Yorktown</a>, <a href="/wiki/Yorktown,_Virginia" title="Yorktown, Virginia">Yorktown, Virginia</a> or <a href="/wiki/Training_Center_Petaluma" title="Training Center Petaluma">TRACEN Petaluma</a>, <a href="/wiki/Petaluma,_California" title="Petaluma, California">Petaluma, California</a>.
