US Military Boot Camp

CS gas or tear gas, not to be confused with CN also called Mace.

One of the most intensive military boot camps in the USA is the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) in San Diego, California. It is known for its physically demanding training program and rigorous standards. Another intense boot camp is the United States Army's Basic Combat Training, conducted at Fort Benning, Georgia, which also focuses on physical conditioning and discipline.

Yes yes. It is illegal for anyone to hold another person's mail from them intentionally.

shine bright like a diamond

West Coast Oor Rah, Hills are killer and we dont work with girls

Yes. The day a service member swears in and leaves home for basic training they are placed on active duty status and remain there regardless of their actual job until graduation. Upon graduation they may be returned to reserve status if that is the type of unit they serve with. Same goes for National Guard.

Almost impossible! I am a former drill sergeant looking for my cadre buddies when stationed at Fort Dix, NJ in 1968-69. Still no luck

Urine drug testing is done during medical intake during the first few days of training. At Parris Island in 1989, we did medical check-in on day 2.

You would need to be able to find the photographer who took the photo - the military did not take the photo - a civilian photographer with permission to conduct their business on-post did.

Not anymore. I bought a pair in 2000, which were made in the US (although, for all I know, they could've been made in the US only 'technically', which could mean the Northern Marianas islands). Now, they're made in China.

run,run,run,run..... lots of physical tranning ie. situps,push ups,pull ups, run

Workout boot camps are rising in their popularity, thanks both to their stints on several weight loss centered reality TV shows and the results that they can yield. If you've ever seen someone who has successfully completed a boot camp then you have seen the results firsthand. Most people will come out of it with at least some weight loss, and many of them will do so much better toned. Does that mean that a boot camp is the right way to go for everyone? Of course not, there are no one size fits all solutions in this life. Boot camps are right for some people, and very wrong for others. Today, we are going to take a look at what you need to consider before you decide to lay out your hard earned money for a boot camp style class. The Benefits of A Boot Camp The benefits of a boot camp are, for the most part, obvious. Once you have made a commitment, and put out your cash, you are going to keep to that commitment. You won't skip workouts because you didn’t schedule them. Research has shown that we humans take things more seriously when we pay for them. So, consider the benefits of a commitment. The Risks of A Boot Camp The risk of a boot camp is, of course, the physical one. If you are just starting out on a workout plan, if you have medical problems, or serious doubts about your ability to workout for 30 to 60 minutes in an intense way then you may want to build your way up to a boot camp. When in doubt consult your doctor first before you try any strenuous plans. That way you do not end up doing yourself more harm then you do good with any new exercise plan. Being Realistic About Your Availability If you have one million things to do in your life, and you don’t have time to take a shower when you want to, then a boot camp is probably not the way to go. Before you sign up be realistic about the chances that you will be able to make it to the class on a regular basis. Being Bossed Around and Your Personality A boot camp is going to be an intense experience. The instruction is not likely to all sunshine and hugs with you. If you do not like being bossed around, or if you just do not respond well to authority figures then a boot camp is most likely not the way that you should go. Now you know the basics. From here you should be able to make a rational decision about whether a boot camp is something that you can see through to the end, or if you are not quite ready for that kind of a fitness commitment. Don't worry if a boot camp is not right for you. There are still lots of other options that will better fit your life.

Good question. I know it's at least 3 months.

I got promoted by showing a NCO potention and my contingent commander saw it and promoted me to L/CPL ... and thats my story. Some tips i would give are ... stand out e.g. have your kit always spotless and keep helping others to make their kit good but make sure you are seen doing this , so in other words show off and you will get promoted really soon :D

During bootcamp you'll always be an E1 no matter what your contract says. You won't receive any promotions such as if you enlist as an E3 due to college credits, or ROTC until you graduate.

E1 pay is currently around $1400\month

Bout 6 grand

Navy Boot Camp lasts for eight weeks followed by an "A school" after graduation.

Shoot first! Ask questions later.

Very hard. Some days you only get like 4 hours of sleep. Weapons training,tactical drills,field demo's for live combat...etc.

If you enlist in Oklahoma you will attend Boot Camp in San Diego, California.

No, you can't. Before you report in to the post you'll be attending Basic or One Station Unit Training at, you'll report back to the MEPS station (the place where you actually signed your enlistment contract). Your recruiting office will provide you with transportation to MEPS. From there, you'll be given either a bus ticket or a plane ticket (depending on the distance). After you arrive at the airport, you'll be picked up by charter bus and taken to the post's Adjutant General battalion, where you'll in-process at. There is no other way to do this, and no other means of transportation are authorised.

After bootcamp you go to your first unit. You qualify to be a seaman or fireman and learn about the boats you use. After 6 months you put your name on a school list of your choice. The wait for school is 6 months - 2 1/2 years depending on what school you choose.

You might try contacting the Air Force and looking for archive footage. That base has been closed since December 1968. You might be lucky enough to find archived photos at Colorado Springs or perhaps the Office of the Air Force at the Pentagon. The air field at Amarillo just isn't there any more. All that is left is the main runway and that is part of the airport in Amarillo, Amarillo International.

Joining any branch of the military has its 'goods' and 'bads'. It's all honestly what you make of it. Be sure you sign up for a branch based off of your interests and goals specific to you. Don't put yourself in situations where you'll just complain about how much you hate your job or wish you joined a different branch.

No. New recruits receive inoculations during the Reception Center processing. It is a two day process during which all childhood and adult (travel) inoculations are given.
