(Staff Sgt. J. Byers/U.S. Army Reserve) Not all military basic trainings are created equally, and how long you’ll have drill instructors yelling at you depends on your service branch: Army Basic Combat Training (BCT) lasts nine weeks.

After graduating from Army basic training, soldiers then begin Advanced Individual Training, which can last anywhere from three weeks to two years, depending on the chosen Military Occupational Specialty. The Army’s nearly 200 specialties range from military intelligence to cyber operations to aviation.

Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB in Texas is eight weeks, plus one week of in-processing, called zero week.

Others are serving soldiers who have been selected for officer training, and some come from overseas, having been chosen by their own country army to train at the world famous Academy. People cannot undertake training at their own private expense. The Commissioning Course for Regular Army officers is 48-weeks long, including recess periods.
