where do national guard go for basic training
United States Army Basic Training The United States picks where a Soldier goes to Basic Combat Training based on openings and is not MOS dependent, unless the Soldier selected an MOS that requires OSUT. (Infantry, Military Police, Combat Engineer) However, the location where a recruit is sent for Advanced Individual Training depends on his or her chosen Military Occupational Specialty, or MOS, which is selected upon enlistment. Recruits requiring air transportation to their training locations are flown via commercial flight at the U.S. Army's expense.
United States Marine Corps Recruit Training The initial period of Marine Corps Boot Camp is called the Receiving Phase, which begins as the new recruits are on the bus en route to their recruit Depot. They are "greeted" by a drill instructor, who acquaints them with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which they are now subject. Disembarking from the bus, they line up on rows of yellow footprints painted on the concrete which is their first formation and learn how to stand at attention.
