Navy Basic Training

Week 1: Processing
Once you arrive youll be given Navy-issued clothing, be
taught the right way to fold and store your new belongings
and make your bed. Youll receive complete dental and
medical exams, if you need a haircut, thatll happen too.
The rst week will also be lled with conditioning,
swimming, marching, drilling, and most importantly, attending
Navy classes. Everything you do from this point on is
designed to prepare you for what lies ahead. You will push
your physical limits and achieve higher performance levels
than you ever thought possible.
Week 2: Condence
This is a condence building week. youll be
going through the condence course, a
course designed to simulate shipboard
situations you could encounter in an
emergency. Stay sharp because your life and
the lives of your fellow shipmates depend on
it. Teamwork and condence are the themes
for week 2
Week 3: Hands on
This week, youll board a land bound training ship.
Everything will be hands on, something your Recruiter
told you the Navy is big on. Youll learn everything
from ship names, to rst aid techniques, to semaphore
(signaling with ags). Classroom studies will focus on
Customs and Courtesies, laws of armed conict, money
management, shipboard communication, Navy ship and
aircraft identication, and basic seamanship. In week
3 you will also have your rst physical training (PT)
test.
Week 4: Live Fire
If youve never red a weapon before youll
get your chance in week 4. You will have
the opportunity to train with the M16 and a
12-gauge shotgun. When youve proven you
know how to properly use both, youll move
to the live re range. Graduation pictures
are this week as well as an academic test on
everything youve learned to date.
Week 5: Career
This week is all about you. Where you want
to go, what you want to do, and how fast you
intend to get there. So you nd the shortest
distance between where you are and where
you want to be. You are more than half-way
through basic training, the nish line is in
sight. Remember that complete life change
your Recruiter told you about? Its
happening.
Week 6: Fire Safety
The big topics for this week are shipboard damage control and
reghting. Two of the most vital skills youll need on board a ship.
Youll learn many ship safety techniques such as, how to extinguish
res, escape smoke-lled compartments, open and close watertight
doors, operate Oxygen Breathing Apparatus and carry re hoses.
Another academic test, and perhaps, the most challenging of all:
the Condence Chamber. Inside the Chamber, you and about 100
other recruits will line up, put on a gas mask while a tear gas
tablet is lit. Youll be ordered to remove your mask and throw it in
a trash can while reciting your full name and social security
number. Relax. Every Sailor before you has mastered it and so will
you. This week youll also have to nish the condence course, as a
team.
Week 7: Battle Stations
Battle Stations is Navy boot camps ultimate
test. This exercise consists of 12 different
scenarios incorporating everything you have
learned during the previous weeks. You and
your team will be graded on your ability to
execute the required tasks. Successful
completion nets you the ultimate reward, a
U.S. Navy ball cap. This cap tells the world
youre no longer a Recruit, but a full-edged
Navy Sailor. All that is left is graduation.
WEEK 8: Graduation
You made it! Don your dress uniform and
get ready for graduation. You are a Sailor in
the U.S. Navy. After today, your family and
friends will envy you. Strangers on the
street will thank you. Your Navy family will
always have your back. Savor this moment.
Not everybody makes it; not everybody
should.
