What is Basic Training for Non-Commissioned
Members
It is an intensive course designed to teach you the skills
you will need in your career, and build-up your strength of
character. It will help to make you physically and mentally
prepared for future challenges. It will make you part of our
team.
Expect to be up early...very early, do lots of push-ups, sit-ups,
chin-ups and running. You will practice military marching.
You will learn about weapons...how to handle them, take care
of them and how to use them. You will be taught orienteering
and how to live in the field under austere conditions. You
will learn first aid and cardio-pulmonary reanimation. In
short, you will become a soldier.
Soldiers work together and depend on each other every day.
Each team at Basic Training must meet exacting standards,
maintaining their living space and personal effects. That
goes for bed making, cleanliness of floors and tidiness of
lockers. Everybody shares responsibilities.
