As for the US ARMY, soldiers do receive medals or promotions at basic training. Most soldiers enter service as a recruit, grade E-1 (No stripe for rank). If you served as a recruit squad leader, or did something else exceptional (like "max" the Physical Training Test), this could promote you to Private, grade E-2, wearing one stripe for rank. Because the US is now involved in a global war on terror, you would also be awarded the National Defense Service Medal (NDSM), as well as a ribbon for completing Basic Training.
The correct term is Airmen, not soldiers. Airmen learn to use the M-16 in basic training and are now issued the ABU (Airman Battle Uniform).
Navy basic training is not held on shipboard. Basic training is held at the Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Illinois.
