Ive been in the Military for over 19 years. 3 of those in the Army National Guard.  Most recruiters wont sign a person for less than 3 years.  The training  alone can take up to 1 year in some military specialties...  The chance of being deployed anywhere is "good".  If your husband is prior service then he might only be sent to school to learn his primary job.  If he isn't prior service then he will be sent to boot camp to learn to be a soldier, then posibly sent right away to his School.  After all of that he has a very good chance of being deployed at least for 2 weeks durring his normal drill year (1 weekend a month and 2 weeks durring the summer) he also will have a good chance of relieving one of the units currently over seas... If you have a problem with this Im sorry. But being deployed is always a part of being employed with the Army, Marines, Navy, or Air Force or their reserve components to include the Guard... Good Luck.

Usually after Basic Training, you will go directly to A.I.T. within a day or two. Depends on when the next A.I.T. class starts. If you graduate on a Friday, they may give you until Monday to report.

The more you can prepare in advance, the better off you will be. \n\nIt's important that you get into some semblance of physical shape. Concentrate on running three miles and long marches (up to 10 miles). Sit-ups and pull-ups are also important. If you are unable to perform basic exercises, you may spend a significant amount of time in PCP (the Physical Conditioning Platoon). PCP is tough: PCP's objective is physical fitness, and that's what you'll be conentrating in while in the program. Individual remain in PCP until they can While it is normally a 21 day program, once you're in, you don't get out until you can do 3 pull ups, 40 sit ups in 2 minutes, and run 3 miles in 28:00 minutes. \n\nIf you arrive overweight, your DI will put you on a "Diet Tray" for your meals. \n\nIn boot camp, you'll start drill almost immediately. A few hours studying basic drill and ceremony will help immensely. As with the other services, you should memorize USMC Rank. \n\nAdditionally, you should memorize the 11 General Orders for a Sentry. While not mandatory, the Marine RlFLE Creed is nice to know. You should also memorize the Marine's Hymn, all of it, if possible, but at least the first verse. \n\nWait -- that's not all (I told you it was tough). You'll need to memorize the USMC Core Values, study Marine Corps history, and commit the characteristics of the M16 to memory. Round all of this out by memorizing the Code of Conduct. \n\nIf you don't know how to swim, try to learn before you leave for boot camp. Before you graduate, you'll have to demonstrate basic swimming skills. \n\nThe other services have lists of what you should or should not bring with you. The Marines make it simple: Don't bring anything except your important papers (such as driver's license, social security card, and banking information), except the clothes on your back. Everything you need will be issued to you. For non-issue items, it will be issued, and the cost taken out of your pay. \n\nGood Luck!

The Boot Camp provides military-style discipline through a highly regimented routine of physical exercise, education, substance-abuse treatment and community service. It is focused on behavior modification and rehabilitation of young offenders.\n\nThese links will give you more information.

every soldier is required to have an account on AKO but not before or during basic.  If he is your husband, call the recruiters office he would have gone to, if it is close by, go there and see if you see his picture on the wall, they put new recruits there and put how much money they got for enlisting and school.  it's advertisement i guess oh, and 9 weeks sounds too little for the Army, basic is 11 weeks, and then off to AIT.  he probably didn't do it

I was stationed at FT Jackson as a Drill Sergeant for a time in the 1990's. Lots of sand and bugs. Lots of heat as well. Expect early mornings and long days. Just remember it is all a head game. The Drill Sergeant's job is to make you a soldier. It is not hard, you just have to listen and do what is asked of you. You can do it. Their job is to make you think, walk, talk, like a soldier. You will have to learn military customs and tradition, rank structure. How to properly maintain and fire a weapon. How to properly wear your uniform, boots and how to have a professional look about yourself. Be proud to be in the US Army. \n Physical training is a big part of it. Be ready to get fit and lean. Don't worry, they will not leave you behind. They will make every effort to help you and make you a soldier. Also weapons qualification is the other key. If you don't qualify with the M16A2, you will not graduate. A soldier is nothing if he or she cannot properly use the weapons they are given. \nBe ready for FTX(field training exercise) for about 2-3 days and a 10-20 mile road march. Don't worry they will be checking on you and you will stop and take breaks. Keep plenty of water in you at all times. You can't drink enough water. Drink it till it makes you think you will hurl. You don't want to get stuck by a medic with IV bag or in the hospital. Also you will have access to medical care. If you have a problem,let your Drill Sergeant know. Good Luck!

Check this out, it's 12-1/2 weeks.  It's a hell of a lot harder than all the other boot camps, but you'll be a Marine.  It truly is worth it.  Get in really good shape and have your recruiter teach you some close order drill before hand.  The Marine Corps even after boot camp is hard, so when you're cold, wet, tired, starving, and pissed off in the middle of the night on post, think of the people you're standing for and protecting, and of the ones that came before you.  Never give up and keep your chin up.

Did 4 years of Marine time but with the Navy. (the marines need navy medics) You need to drop the smoking. Decreased lung capacity isn't cool. You have to run 3 miles in 10 minutes. (that's a good time to set as a goal) You have to do 3 dead-hang pull ups (minimum) and as for sit ups and push ups, check: http://www.marines.com/page/usmc.jsp?flashRedirect=true  Good luck.

I signed up when I was 17, but I needed parental consent, which got tricky.  I spent 1 year in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP), graduated high school, and went to boot camp about two weeks later.  Keep in mind that a typical enlistment is 8 years, 4 years active, 4 inactive reserve.  Your time in the DEP will count toward the 8 years.  Good luck and Semper Fi.

My son just finished 9 weeks of basic training and 11 weeks of "Schooling" for the Army.  It depends which career field you are in as to the length of the schooling part of it.  My husband's school was three months for his career field in the Air Force.

In all actuality, you could be in Basic Training in a week.  That's how long it would take to run the checks and do the paperwork, give the ASVAB, for you to complete the medical, choose your job, and then ship.  That, of course, is provided you need NO waivers (medical, moral).

Easier than the Marines, in fact easier than any of the military BMT\n\nNot sure what you want to know\n\nYou stay in a big dorm like room with 20 or more other people (all the same sex), and shower in a big room too.\n\nYou exercise a lot, learn to make your bed their way, learn to fold your clothes their way, basically you learn to do everything the way they want.\n\nNot fun, but it only lasts 6 weeks.\n\nDon't be a suck up, but just follow the rules and it will be pretty easy.\n\nSan Antonio can get pretty hot in the summer.  Try to get your time scheduled in the fall or winter, we don't really have a spring.

15 years 9 months. you have to pass a selection called the PRMC (potential royal marines course) at CTC (Commando training centre) Lympstone. This is very ardous! Best of luck bud, but speak to a careers advisor and he will be able to give u a fitness programme, and you will have to go through him to have a medical and interview first anyway. \nIf you pass the PRMC you will be selected for the Royal Marine Commando Course, again at CTCLympstone, which is 32 weeks of extreme training, it is worth noting that this is the longest basic infantry course in the world. I am not sure what they are doing about women at the moment, but to the best of my knowledge they are not allowed to join. (There ARE exceptions, but that could be covered on a different thread!) Good luck mate, it'll be worth it!

The only guy I know to have gotten out of boot camp was a guy in my platoon, who started "sleep-walking" around the squadbay at night. He was gone inside of 2-days. Apparently his girlfriend was pregnant and he wanted to go home.\n\nShort answer, VERY, VERY unlikely. Anyway I wouldn't want you in my fighting hole if you were going to wander off or somehow otherwise compromise our position.

LOTS of hard work.  Boot Camp is designed to break you down and build you up to be the marine that they want you to be.
