In many cases, you will receive this basic training at boot camp when you enter the Navy
; however, some officer career paths include military jobs that don’t require basic training.

Do I get paid during basic training?
Do You Get Paid for Basic Training?
Yes
. You’ll be glad to hear you’re at least getting paid to struggle through challenges that will shape you into a soldier. During the in-processing of Week Zero, the Army will establish your military pay records and scale.
The first three weeks of Navy Boot Camp are clearly the toughest (physically, and stressfully)
. Get through the first three weeks, and you’ll almost assuredly graduate. As with Army and Air Force Basic Training, during the first couple of weeks, you’ll find that no one can seem to do anything right.
Yes, it is possible to fail basic training
. You could go through the trouble of leaving your home, job, family and friends and come back a failure. In fact, this happens to about 15% of recruits who join the military every year. Too many recruits I speak to think that it is impossible to fail basic training.
The Navy offers a very few
two year and three year
contracts, where the recruit spends two or three years on active duty, followed by six years in the Active Reserves. The other services offer four, five, and six year enlistment options (The Air Force only offers four and six year enlistments).
You’ll get up at
5 a.m.
every single day. Waking up in the morning is an adjustment process that’s the same for every single basic training class. When you first arrive, the drill instructors require a lot of noise, yelling and jostling to get everyone out of the rack.
Navy boot camp lengthened to
10 weeks
to prepare recruits for life in the fleet. The Navy is adding more mentorship, life skills and personal and professional development to its boot camp curriculum as it expands recruit training to 10 weeks — up from eight.
U.S. Navy basic training is
an intense, eight-week program where recruits endure physical training and must develop emotional endurance
. Also, recruits attend classes where they engage with relevant coursework and also receive practical training that allows hands-on experience and prepares them for real-life scenarios.
“The additions were the result of
fleet feedback and the hard work of all the staff here at RTC and throughout the Navy
,” said Lt. Cmdr. Katy Bock, military training director, Recruit Training Command. “Every recruit now graduates with more tools and skills to make them more effective and combat-ready Sailors.”
How often do sailors get leave?

C school is
more indepth training for the chosen job she has

Do you go home after boot camp?
