ALERT: The US Army has just announced that, beginning next month, it is extending its standard nine-week basic training course. This change does not affect in any material way either the information you will find inside Sgt. Mike Volkin’s books: The Ultimate Basic Training Guidebook and The Ultimate Interactive Basic Training Workbook. Minor alterations reflecting these changes in the length of training will appear in future printings of these books.
