United States Army Basic Combat Training (BCT) is the recruit training program of the United States Army, for service in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve, or the Army National Guard.
Initial Entry Training is divided into two parts: Basic Combat Training (BCT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT).
The complete Army basic training cycle is about 10 weeks, divided into three phases: Red, White and Blue, which last about three weeks each.
After passing the final tests of the Blue Phase, your next step is the graduation ceremony, where you’ll get to celebrate your accomplishments with your friends and family.
Your local recruiter will help identify what documents are required for enlistment and will also help you get replacements or copies of any documents that will be needed.
Your recruiter will help you schedule an appointment at the nearest Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS).
Your day at MEPS will be spent testing and screening to determine your qualifications for joining the Army. If you haven’t already completed the ASVAB, time will be set aside at MEPS for you to do so. Since everyone entering the armed forces must be in good health, you will have to go through the standard physical examinations. Once you’ve met the physical and ASVAB standards, a counselor will talk to you about job opportunities and the enlistment agreement.
After deciding which Service branch and service type they’re interested in pursuing, the best way for someone to get answers to any questions they have about the Military is to meet with a recruiter.
