*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1916 1916]
==Definitions==
*1: a camp where people who have recently joined the U.S. Army, Navy, or Marine Corps receive their basic [[training]]
*2: a short but very [[difficult]] training program : a program or situation that helps people [[become]] much better at doing something in a short period of [[time]].
==Description==
''Recruit training'', more commonly known as ''basic training'' and colloquially called '''boot camp''', is the initial instruction given to new [[military]] personnel, enlisted and officer. After completion of basic training, new recruits undergo Advanced Individual Training (AIT), where they learn the [[skills]] needed for their military jobs. Officer trainees undergo more detailed programs that may either precede or follow the common recruit training in an officer training [[academy]] (which may also offer a civilian degree program simultaneously) or in special classes at a civilian [[university]]. During recruit training, drill instructors do everything possible to push a recruit to his or her physical and mental [[limits]].
Boot camps can be governmental being part of the correctional and [[penal]] system of some countries, but predominantly in the United States. Modeled after [[military]] recruit [[training]] camps, these programs are based on [[shock]] incarceration grounded on military [[techniques]]. The [[aggressive]] training used has resulted in [[deaths]] in a variety of circumstances. Boot camps are also criticized around the world for their lack of behavioral [[change]] and for the way extreme [[force]] can traumatize children and teens.
The term "boot camp" is currently used in the fitness industry to describe group fitness classes that promote fat loss, [[camaraderie]], and [[team]] [[effort]]. They are designed to push people a little bit further than they would normally push themselves in the gym alone. Boot Camps are sometimes organized outdoors in parks using bodyweight [[exercises]] like push ups, squats, and suspension training, interspersed with running and [[competitive]] [[games]]. The idea is that everyone involved works at their own pace as they team up and work towards one goal, either in pairs, small teams of three or four, or even two teams head on.
