if you were to join via trainee leadership program, regular soldier/infantry is there a physical or are you trained

I’m unsure if you go through training to get you into shape or if you have to pass the physical. And while training do sleep on camp for the whole process?

    You will have to pass some physical and medical tests prior to going to basic training.


    Whilst in Training you will be on camp for the whole of basic training with the exception of a single mid way through.

    Its all part of the process and you will understand the value as such as time goes on. During basic, you will not have time to commute during the long days it consists of.


    It provides us with the foundations of becoming one of the best trained Soldiers in the world.
