Explained in plain English

How long is military training?

Military training, often called 'boot camp', varies in length depending on the country and specific service. In the UK, basic training for the Army is 14 weeks, while the Royal Navy is 10 weeks and the RAF is 10 weeks. These intense programmes, much longer than the government's three-week AI boot camps, aim to transform civilians into disciplined service personnel.
