Basic Training runs 10 weeks and is broken down into three phases: Red, White and Blue. Here's an overview of what you can expect during each phase:
PHASE 1: RED PHASE
(Weeks 1–3)
Shakedown: When you get off the bus from Reception Battalion, you'll be told to line up your bag in a certain way to see if you can follow instructions. Then you'll be ordered to empty your bag. If anything contraband falls out, it will be your first opportunity to see a drill sergeant go ballistic.
