Warrior Training
Course (WTC)
This information was
supplied by Anita. Her husband was prior enlisted and was required to
got through WTC rather than BCT. Thank you again Anita!
WTC (Warrior Training
Course) for Prior Service Soldiers that decide to go back into
the Army. Prior service soldiers do have separate rules and
regulations compared to soldiers that are just starting out and
our going through basic training.
It is a five week training course in Oklahoma or New Mexico.
Basically it is 10 weeks of basic training crammed into 5 weeks.
If your solider is going to pass the PT test remember to train
before and on their own in WTC. They do not do enough PT in WTC
and they wants to make their run. So RUN as much as possible!
All soldiers must learn the Soldiers Creed and if they are NCO's
they need to learn the NCO's Creed. Prepare to road march!
There are Drill Sgt 's at WTC and WTC is not as laid back as the
recruiter says, so don't let the recruiter lie to your solider!
Don't expect a phone call from your solider fo! r about 2 to 3
days. For prior service soldiers ONLY they are allowed to bring
personal items such as the following:
- Cell phone
- MP3 player or I-Pod
- Laptop
They will need to bring these to keep themselves entertained.
If your solider is a smoker make sure he brings several cartons
of cigarettes. Make sure your solider stocks up on Airborne
because they will share a 60 man bay and once someone gets sick
they all get sick. The first pass they will get is usually the
first Sunday of the month. Clothing and sales is the first
Sunday of the month also. They do not put the privates in the
same bay or housing as prior service. |
