Week 1

Week 1 is almost an extension of P-Days. 
On the first tuesday you will go to the Captains Brief. Here the Commanding Officer will talk to everybody about what to expect and what not to do. He will discuss his top 5 things that will get you in trouble. They are drugs, racial slurs, fraternization , recruit to recruit contact, and hazing.

On the first day (1-1) You will go to recruit receipts. Here you will take care of the rest of your service record. You will do your DDS (Direct Deposit), SGLI (Life Insurance) and receive your military ID. Today you will also go to PT Fam. This will be where you learn what exercises you will do during PT (Physical Training).
