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.

Prepping for Basic Combat Training requires mental preparedness, as well as support from your family. It's important to know what to bring and what to leave at home. You'll also want to be sure that your personal affairs—such as any bills or legal, household or child custody matters—are in order, and that your family and employer are informed about your BCT dates and details.
Know what you're allowed to bring and what you're not.
