Has anyone recently gotten back from PSBCT? I report Feb 28th. Have they quit the 6-week basic, and switched to a 10-week basic?

I heard this rumor as well. My recruiter and RSP said the one we are going to is the last one.

I graduated PSBCT in August. We were a six week course, but we were told (rumor mill of course) that they were going back to the 10 week course ASAP. To be honest, the 6 week course was not well planned out. Big Army hit TRADOC with a requirement and then gave them no time to adjust the curriculum to effectively train everyone up in six weeks. For me, being prior Army, it was a needed refresher on weapons systems and Army life and six weeks was fine. For Navy and Air Force, I think they were provided a disservice. Six weeks was not long enough to train them properly on everything they were not familiar with.

I just hope it’s not too late for me to catch that 6 weeks class instead off the 10 weeks!

I am graduating PSBCT on Friday. There is another class after this one. After that, who knows. It’s the Army

I leave for PSBCT @ Leonard Wood tomorrow. My orders say 5 weeks and 4 days. As far as I know, this cycle was to be the last PSBCT but now it looks like they may do more. Hopefully the horror stories of arriving only to find out you’re going to OSUT aren’t legit.
