Military Enlisted Basic Training Elements

July 15, 2008 By admin

Joining the military is a process, but one that can be very rewarding. If you want to be successful in your military career, it’s wise to know what you are in for during basic training.
There are a number of different types of people that join the Military, and it is interesting what most people believe about joining the Armed Forces. Some soldiers join because they want to find a way to boost their educational funding opportunities.

Others are true enthusiastic patriots and want to serve their country and receive job or career training. Yet other people believe that it’s a good way to receive high quality training but are apathetic about serving in the military one way or the other. Nearly all of these people have taken the time to learn about the military, and it is important because a person who is well informed tends to not face any surprises by their military enlistment. There are several elements to be aware of in United States Armed Forces Enlistment.

Physical And Mental Training- Military training is rigorous and in depth. If you are in poor physical shape it’s a good idea to work to get ready for basic training. The different services have all some form of Physical Training, and its important to be prepared.

ASVAB- If you haven’t taken the ASVAB test yet, then get some study materials, and study study study. Go on the Internet, and put in the words “ASVAB, Free, Practice Test, Study Materials,” and you will find there are several sites with both mini and full versions of the test. The Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery is the single biggest factor that the military uses to determine what military job specialty you will have, and the better you do on the test, the more choices that you will have. Score poorly and you are stuck being put where the military wants you with little choice in the matter.

Combat Training- Serving in the military in the era following September 11th, 2001, and in the aftermath of Afghanistan and Iraq is a sober and solemn responsibility. As a member of the Armed forces, each and every person swears an oath to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United Stated of America.”

As such, part of boot camp and service in the Armed Forces means you can and likely will at some point be called to use force, including lethal force, and usage of weapons. This is not normally an issue for most people, but it is something that needs to be taken into consideration.
