Week 12. The final week. D.I.s are no longer yelling (as much). You'll spend this last week learning about theHeroes of the Corps, a class or two on financial management, the relatively easy Battalion Commander's Inspection, more (of course) core value classes, and finally, graduation practice and graduation.

Seem simple? It's not. Here's how your 13 weeks breaks down in actual hours:

• Instructional Time (The Crucible / Combat Water Survival / Weapons and Field Training): 279.5 hours
• Core Values / Academics / Values Reinforcement: 41.5
• Physical Fitness: 59
• Close Order Drill: 54.5
• Field Training: 31
• Close Combat Training: 27
• Conditioning Marches: 13
• Administration: 60
• Senior DI Time (nightly free time): 55.5
• Movement Time: 60
• Sleep: 479
• Basic Daily Routine: 210
• Chow: 179
• Total: 1518 hours

Boot camp is just the start, however. Following recruit training and graduation, you'll go on to further your training at the School of Infantry which is located at Camp Geiger, MCB Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Marines who are designated as infantry Marines are assigned to Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry for military occupational specialty training. After graduating from there, these Marines will be assigned to their first permanent duty station.

All non-infantry Marines are assigned to Marine Combat Training Battalion, School of Infantry for training. MCT reinforces and expands on the basic Marine-combat skills learned in recruit training. Following MCT, Marines attend their MOS schools to learn the trade they are expected to perform for the Marine Corps.
