How long is bootcamp in all branches of U.S. armed forces?

Question

I want to join, but I am older than most kids who join and really am not in the mood to put up with young moron losers of our society for too long.

Answer 1

air force- 1 day

navy- 1 hot shower (no soap on a rope)

army- 8 weeks (weekends off)

marine corps- 13 weeks (of showering after the navy)

Answer 2

BCT is 8 weeks in the Army. But I knew guys that were recycled in the mid '70s and I am sure that thought it was an eternity.

I went straight to OCS after basic and there were several older guys there...I was 22 some as old as 29 (the cut off then) and some of them were moronic and washed out of or quit OCS. So age isn't the only determinant.

Good luck.

Answer 3

It differs from one branch of the service to the next. These other bozos are only telling you part. expect 8 to 13 weeks for b.c. and if you can not stand being around the young ones it might be even harder when a youth is in charge of you

Answer 4

8 weeks Basic Training in the US Army and 8 weeks of
Advanced Individual Training in whatever field that the person signed up for. This is the same for all branches
of the US Armed Forces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
