During your training, you are taught these values and the numerous others attached to them, such as integrity, discipline, teamwork, duty and esprit de corps. Drill instructors, recruit training officers and Navy chaplains teach specific classes about core values, but drill instructors also will talk one-on-one with you after other training events to see what values were learned and how you are affected.
For example, a drill instructor might talk about overcoming fears after rappelling or not giving up after a long march. The confidence course is an station obstacle course, which helps you build confidence as well as upper-body strength. You will tackle this course twice during your 13 weeks of training. Physical training, or "PT" as it often is called, comes in many forms. Recruit training uses a progressive physical training program, which builds up recruits to Marine Corps standards. Recruits will experience Table PT, a period of training in which a drill instructor leads several platoons through a series of demanding exercises while he demonstrates on a table.
Recruits also will run, either individually or as a platoon or squad. Other PT consists of obstacle courses, circuit courses or three-, five- or mile conditioning marches.

Field training introduces you to field living and conditions. During the three-day field training evolution, you will learn basic field skills -- from setting up a tent to field sanitation and camouflage.
Also during the field training, you get the opportunity to go through the gas chamber. FFR is a portion of training devoted to firing weapons in a field condition. During marksmanship training, you learn how to fire at a single target while in a stationary position. During FFR, you learn how to fire at moving and multiple targets, while under low-light conditions and wearing your field protective gas mask.
Combat water survival training develops your confidence in the water. All recruits must pass the minimum requirement level of Combat Water Survival-4 CWS-4 , which requires recruits to perform a variety of water survival and swimming techniques.
If recruits meet the CWS-4 requirements, they may upgrade to a higher level. All recruits train in the camouflage utility uniform, but if upgraded, they may be required to train in full combat gear, which includes a rifle, helmet, flak jacket and pack.
