Under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 and the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act a civilian employer can not terminate your employment based on your enlistment or by leaving to Basic Combat Training or a Deployment. They are Federal guidelines that they themselves must follow, the majority of civilian employers are aware of these Federal Guidelines but if you are late to work once or have one mishap then at that point they will terminate you for that reason, but the second you come in informing them that you have either are going to enlist or that you are going to Basic Combat Training they are looking for a reason to fire you, so that they do not have to hold your job for you.

When did boot camp take place?

This question does not make any sense. However I can answer it how I believe you intended and hopefully it answers your question: Boot Camp is the term for the initial entry training in the US military branches. All initial entry trainings are commonly referred to as Boot Camp by civilians. In the US Army it is formally called Basic Combat Training (BCT, also Basic). It takes place at a disclosed time after enlisting in the US Military. They are varying lengths and also the type of training varies between branches.

You'll still be categorised as National Guard, but yes. You'll go through the exact same BCT and AIT (or else OSUT) as the Regular Army and Army Reserve do.


What happens if you get headaches or a migraine in Boot Camp?

When they do the morning sick call, you step out of formation and go to sick call. From there, you usually go to the Troop Medical Clinic (in Army BCT.. other branches have their own names), and you get diagnosed and treated. Again, not a particularly big deal.

It has happened before, but it's really an uncommon thing to happen. For example, a soldier from Alaska gets to a BCT post in the South, and ends up drinking so much water that they flush the electrolytes completely out of their body. Stuff like that.


Why would the army have some recruits ship to boot camp 5 days before the majority show up?

Army = Basic Combat Training (BCT) or One Station Unit Training (OSUT), dependent on your MOS. Marine Corps/Navy = Boot Camp When you leave for Basic/Boot Camp, you ship out from the Military Entrance Processing Centre (MEPS) - the same facility you would've signed your enlistment papers out. When you arrive, you are received at the Adjutant General Battalion (Army - don't know what it is for the other services), during which time you will receive your vaccinations, initial uniform issue, sign up for Tricare, etc. You will be held there until both a unit "downrange" becomes available, and there is a sufficient number of personnel to fill this unit. That may take two weeks or more.
