وصف الناشر
How to prepare—mentally and physically—for life in the armed forces.
Making the transition from civilian to soldier can be tough. Knowing what to expect can help. In this guide, Michael Volkin, who enlisted in the US Army after 9/11—and found himself unprepared for the new world of the military with its unknown acronyms, demanding exercises, and other challenges—provides valuable information about the process. During his own basic training, he began taking extensive notes, and while serving in Iraq he interviewed hundreds of other soldiers—in order to put together this book in the hopes of making things easier for future recruits in any branch of the armed forces.
The Ultimate Basic Training Guidebook offers:
Step-by-step instructions and solutionsHelpful charts and graphicsA special eight-week fitness program specifically designed to improve your fitness test scoresStudy guidesA list of what to bring (and what not to bring) to basic training And much more

Was probably good when the website worked
A lot of this book builds on materials that you can download if you follow the listed link or go to their website. The links are broken, and the website doesn’t seem to have the worksheets either. Not as helpful to read through the training plan with “oh, you’ll understand when you see the sheet” when the sheet is not available. I’m frustrated I bought this book expecting to get a straining plan, and the book didn’t follow through on what it promoted
