What training will be required of you: After you are accepted, you will be appointed a Recruiter to help you through all the processes in the training pipeline. By submitting your application, you understand that you will have to complete the Basic Training Pipeline prior to being able to participate in operations. The Basic Training Pipeline consists of: Three days of Recruit Training, going over all of the basic rifleman skills such as: Day 1 - Mods, Radios, Weapons Familiarization Day 2 - Team Tactics and Land Navigation Basics Day 3 - MOUT Basics, Graduation All three days will consist of a mixture of working instruction and field exercise No day will last longer than 2 hours After completion of Recruit Training you will be promoted to Private and assigned a Unit. Additional Infantry training will be required afterwards, but will not hinder your ability to be a member of the Unit or participate in bi-weekly operations Understanding the difference between Reserve and Active membership: Active: Able to attend many Training and Operations.
