| Milforum Moderator ![]() | It's probably changed in 20 years but Marine Corps Recuirt Training 0430 Revillie Get up get dressed in the most rapid manner you can while the DI stalks the squadbay yelling.Make your rack, square away your area and get on the road for chow. 0445 March to the chow hall. 0455 Attack the chow hall 0505 EAT When the guide is done you are done. 0515 or 0520 roughly March back to the barracks turn to on morning clean up. Pray you don't get drafted into the submarine service. 0620 DI TIME that can be anything your friendly DI wants to do. Weapons Maintaince, Uniform Maintaince, Knowledge etc.. 0800 Knowledge Classes Close order Drill Etc. 1115 Chow 1145 DI Time 1300 Knowledge Classes/ Close order Drill 1400 Return to Barracks Change Over for PT. 1415 PT 1530 Return to barracks Change over/shower 1600 Chow 1620 DI Time 2000 Free Time In that you are free to write letters talk etc. However you still must shower shave and square away your uniform for the next day. 2100 Taps. Hit the Rack . Lights out . You may however catch firewatch. But be advised that is a rough draft there is no such thing as a typical day. |

| Milites Gregarius | im surprised you have pt at 1415... I haven't gone through basic yet (army), but was told that PT is at 0500. Interesting for you though... I think I would hate having PT in the middle of the day
