Nine Week Training In The Military

Once OCS is completed, I will be transferred to The Basic School for field training. Officer Candidate School is ten weeks long and The Basic School is six months long (Marine Corps University). All Marine Officers must attend these two schools. During field training at The Basic School, I will receive my military occupational specialty as an intelligence officer.

The officers go through training for 20 weeks with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, in Glynco, Georgia. They are trained basic law enforcement skills such as Anti- Terrorism, Detection of Contraband, Interviewing, Cross Culture Communications, Firearms Handling and Qualification, Defense Tactics, Arrest Techniques, and Officer Safety and Survival just to name a few. The Agriculture Specialist receives 8-12 weeks of training at the Professional Development Center in Fredrick, Maryland. Agriculture Specialist is station at international ports of entry at airports, seaports, and land borders throughout the United States and alongside the Canadian and Mexican borders. They have the authority to conduct random inspections of luggage or items entering the country and the power to seize prohibited or contaminated items. The Border Patrol agents go through a 55 day “Basic Academy” training at the “U.S. Border Patrol Academy” in Artesia, New Mexico. Their training includes topics on immigration, physical training, weapons and marksmanship. Most of the agents must know how to speak Spanish. This is just an example on the type of training that the CBP staff has to prepare them for any surprises and attacks on the United States.

Baca and 14 others, including area high school students and University of Central Florida students, were temporary army recruits during the UCF Knights Boot Camp, where 13 weeks of army basic training was condensed to two hours, March 19.

I need help myself. I know that we have soldiers that cannot learn by reading a book, we need hands on training. We need to get maps out of the supply cage, dust them off, conduct some map reading and map recon etc. Teach them on how to disassemble all weapon system that a Scout uses: 25mm, 249, 240c, and 9mm to mention some. Conducting some route recon here on camp not everyone knows the type of formation or hand signals of movement and how to cover and conceal ourselves. Sgt’s time is not enough time for a soldier to retain what he learned that day if we not touch it again until when ever. Non Commissioned Officers need to make sure that we keep our Joes in shape and within weight standards. If it means to perform physical training twice a day unit the soldiers creates a habit and he can do it on his own.

Potential state troopers must be able to work any shift, including holidays, and be willing to accept a post anywhere within the state. Candidates are also required to have at least 20/100 eyesight uncorrected and 20/20 corrected. They must not have any visible tattoos, brands, body art, or body piercings. Those who meet the above requirements, post passing scores on the state’s written exam and physical ability test, and pass a medical exam, psychological evaluation, and background investigation will be placed on an eligibility list and may be invited to complete the Basic School for New York State Troopers. Basic School is an intensive 26-week training program that incorporates physical training and conditioning with rigorous academics in criminal justice, all aimed at developing trooper recruits’ law enforcement and response skills. Following graduation, candidates move to a 10-week Field Training and Evaluation Program (FTEP), in which recruits perform regular duties while paired with a Field Training Officer. This step is considered part of the screening and evaluation process; recruits who pass this stage will continue to be on probationary status for one

Each one of them has gone through extensive and demanding training in order to earn the privilege to wear a certain uniform. Basic training practices vary dependent upon the branch of service in the military. The United States Marine Corps has the longest basic training in the U.S., lasting 13 weeks includes physical training, classroom lessons, close order drill, and military training. Recruits must learn hand to hand combat skills, marksmanship, physical fitness, combat survival, rappelling, close order drill, and Marine Corps history, traditions, customs, and first aid(U.S. Marine Corps [U.S.M.C.], n.d.). They must also pass swim qualification, rifle qualification, a physical fitness test, a combat fitness test, gas chamber qualification, and pass several obstacle courses in order to complete basic training (U.S.M.C., n.d.). Individuals must pass all aspects of recruit training before having earned the privilege of being a Marine. Those individuals spend 13 weeks in a very high stress environment trying to learn and adapt to a new way of life while under constant scrutiny of their drill instructors. After completing basic training, Marines are now required to maintain their uniform perfectly. As with all service members, Marines have a sense (United States v. Alvarez)of pride about their uniform and they spend many hours each week preparing their uniforms.

The Army boot camp is about 10 weeks long depending on if you make it through it all. If you are accepted by the army then you will be sent to one of four places, Fort Benning in Georgia, Fort Jackson in South Carolina, Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, Fort Knox in Kentucky or Fort Sill in Oklahoma depending on what job you will have (Todaysmilitary.com table 1 and Military.com par 13). The physical requirements that you need to pass are a timed two-mile run, two minutes of sit-ups and two minutes of push-ups (table 1). Once you have done the requirements then you have officially started boot camp.

Beast Barracks is the West Point’s six week basic training period for incoming freshmen officer candidates. It compares to Freshman Orientation Week because the incoming freshmen in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M, go through a similar basic training process. Such as on the first day Beast Barracks they are instructed to go to different stations to get issued their items. The fish in Corps did the same thing on the first day of FOW. Another similarity is, they also learned all of basic knowledge and customs of the school. For example, marching, wiring a uniform, how to eat in the mess hall, and to follow all the rules and regulations as freshmen. Which are all the same things we learned during FOW.

The nine month enlistment is up and i can’t wait to go and see my loved one. The only thing holding me back is the chance of freedom. I am ready to leave get my chance to be home. The lack of support the conditions that are at valley forge the sickness it is harder than you would think to stay away from disease.

Most American soldiers who were drafted completed eight weeks of basic training, followed by courses in infantry, artillery, engineering

Basic Cadet Training, or BCT, is the first step to becoming an officer in the United States Military. There are many purposes to this training, such as physical conditioning, teamwork building, and military induction. But I believe the greatest purpose behind BCT is teaching newly enlisted cadets what it means to become part of a group that is bound to each other through an honor code. “We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does” were the words that were drilled into my head for six weeks while I survived BCT.

You have to be able to swim 50 meters wearing your battle dress uniform (BDU) and boots. The Army Physical Fitness Test used to be 240, an average of 80 points in each event such as push-ups, sit-ups and the two-mile run, but it is down to 206 with no less than 60 points in any event. Individuals need a Special Forces Medical Fitness Standard, or physical. Secret Clearances are needed but can be waived for certain periods of time, and once you have all this then you can start training to become a green beret. Special Forces Assessment (SFAS) is 24 days of intense training in which your intelligence, agility and resourcefulness will be tested. After passing the SFAS you will go into the SF Qualification Course. In this course you will go through five different phases (II-VI). Individual skills, phase II, consists of life fire, small unit tactics, land navigation, and survival skills. This phase is 13 weeks of pure intensity with minimal sleep or time to eat. Phase III is the MOS qualification in which you will receive training on the Special Forces MOS you will have, and it is about another 15 weeks. The phase IV is your collective training in which you will be evaluated on your unconventional warfare operations, air and mobile infiltrations, direct action operations, methods of instruction, common skills, your specialist, and whatever else they can think about at the moment. Phase V is your language phase and is basically picked for you

The training is a three week training. There is the stages to the training ground, tower, and jump weeks. On ground training they work on landing procedures, and and jump basics. When training on the tower they would work on they master group jumps and 250-foot controlled descent tower (. Jump week at Army paratroopers training consists of five jumps a 1,250 feet in a C-130 or C-17 aircraft, with those successfully completing the course earning their silver basic parachutist wings. That is the training very intense because if you ever messed up in the landing one could break both of their

F. All basic training of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) recruits takes place at Depot Division in Regina. The six-month course covers a variety of subjects, including driving, shooting, and criminal law.

Becoming a soldier is the first stage to becoming a military policeman. To achieve this status he or she must complete the process of paperwork, and shipping off to MEPS, also known as Military Entrance Processing Station. This process takes four to five months depending on the amount of paperwork. Once the civilian is accepted, and processed through MEPS they are known as a DEPPER. A DEPPER is a civilian that is waiting to ship out to Basic training through the Delayed Entry Program. In this time the DEPPER will train for the appropriate time and when the ship off date come they will leave from their ship off station to their
