So what can you expect from this ten-week course? Here\u2019s a breakdown of each phase.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yellow phase – weeks 1 to 2<\/span><\/h3>\n

Adapt to army life and learn about discipline, traditions, teamwork, and army programs. These include physical training, tactical training, first aid, and sexual harassment prevention programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red phase – weeks 3 to 4<\/span><\/h3>\n

Get the hands-on experience of being a soldier by handling weapons and equipment. You\u2019ll also get obstacle courses as well as learn hand-to-hand combat skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

White phase – weeks 5 to 7<\/span><\/h3>\n
