There's a third example of a new ad in which there's a ranger commander sneaking through a swamp. They do very daring, very dangerous operations. They're trained to go into enemy territory first before the rest of the army does. I guess glamorous, but also very dangerous job to do. The story mentions basic training.
Basic training is a well-known part of an army career.
It's the first eight weeks that a person spends in the army. And what it consist of is a lot of physical training. And the army brochure that I read says in basic training, you discover muscles you never knew you had. So, it's pretty rigorous. It gives the soldiers in tip-top mental and physical shape.
