Basic Combat Training (BCT)
Week 5
You've
made it more than half way!
This training week, you'll do
what you call camping when you were growing up. In the Army, you'll
call it bivouac. You'll learn basic first-aid, camouflage, how to
take cover and set up defensive positions and continue to work with
your M-16A2, including night firing. But just because you're in the
field, it doesn't mean an end to PT. Bayonet drills and hand-to-hand
combat training are included this week. Inspection of your living
area and weapon this week will be tough and exacting.
