Pre-service training
Pre-service is the term used to describe the education and training that occurs before a practitioner obtaining a college degree and entering the workforce. Pre-service prepares individuals to meet the personnel standards of a specific discipline [ECPC].
Military recruit training, commonly known as basic training or boot camp, refers to the initial instruction of new military personnel. It is a physically and psychologically intensive process that resocializes its subjects for the unique demands of military employment [McGurk, Cotting, Britt, p. 14].
Initial military training is an intensive residential program commonly lasting several weeks or months, which aims to induct newly recruited military personnel into the armed forces' social norms and essential tasks. Standard features include foot drills, inspections, physical training, weapons training, and a graduation parade.
The training process resocializes recruits to the demands made of them by military life. Psychological conditioning techniques shape attitudes and behaviors so that recruits will obey all orders, face mortal danger, and kill their opponents in battle.
Inductees are required to partially submerge their individuality for the sake of their military unit, which enhances obedience to orders to perform actions ordinarily absent from civilian life, including killing and prolonged exposure to danger.
