Recruit Basic Training, also referred to as "Boot Camp," If you have the courage to succeed, "Boot Camp" will help you develop into a mature, highly disciplined, and fully capable servicemember. During this time, Drill Instructors (DI) will teach you how to care for yourself and others, function as a member of a team and to achieve success together. Recruit Training includes first aid, water survival skills, marksmanship, tactics and other related topics. The other things that are important to know is:

• Boot camp is mostly a mind game. It's designed to take the civilian out of you and replace it with a top-notch military servicemember (Soldier, Sailor, Marine, or Airman). 
• Keep a good attitude. Everyone gets chewed out in boot camp, even when they have done well. It won't be this way after you graduate Basic.
• Never, ever, make excuses. Unless you are asked to explain yourself, explanations are seen as excuses, so just say "Yes, sir" and take the chewing out.
• Do exactly what you're told to do, when you're told to do it, and how you're told to do it.
• If you're "on time," then you're late. Always be where you're supposed to be five minutes early.
