Training Requirements

Before enlisting you have to take the ASVAB test, the results tell you what kind of jobs you are suitable for. Newly enlisted members of the Army have to take basic training. Basic training lasts 8-13 weeks. It includes a week of orientation and introduction to military life. Basic training also includes weapons training, team building, and rigorous physical exercise designed to improve strength and endurance. After basic training you go to training for the specific job that you enlisted for, which can last 10-20 weeks.
