Before you become an elite fighting machine, everybody has to go through boot camp.
Basic training is known to be a brutal test that thins out the recruits leaving only the best, who can handle the rigors of war. They have to endure obstacle courses, extensive classes, prolonged exercise regimes, and a grueling schedule that shapes a civilian into a soldier.
Witness what the men who won wars went through to be ready for the battlefield.
