It’s called Basic Training University.

This is the result of FIVE YEARS of on-base research...I literally interviewed thousands of recruits, drill sergeants, and crusty vets.

With this “SECRET WEAPON,” I DESTROY everything that’s a waste of your time: rumors, myths, urban legends, lies, and “one-off” experiences...like your cousin Vinnie’s uncle-in-law from 43 years ago.
Nope.

An Introduction Is In Order
Hi. I’m Sergeant Michael Volkin, and I’ve become the leading expert on getting recruits READY for basic training.
In fact, you can get instant access TODAY to Basic Training University...your SECRET WEAPON to absolutely kill it at basic.
9/11/2001
But that’s not how things went down for me when I shipped.
I didn’t have a secret weapon. You see, I enlisted the VERY NEXT DAY after 9/11 and the twin towers fell. Lots of us did.
I figured I had a pretty good shot to breeze through basic training.
I was smart - after all, I had a Master’s degree. I was reasonably fit. And I was ready to serve our country...when it needed me most.

Harder than Expected
Rude Awakening… I WASN’T as ready for Basic as I thought I was.
More? There were gobs of new recruits that were so under-prepared, they just plain sucked...and because they weren’t “getting it” - it made it worse for the rest of us.
You see, when you screw up at Basic, your new BFF Drill Sergeant takes it out on you...on your battle buddy...the whole platoon...basically anyone he wants to.
PT...lots of it...pushups till your arms are noodles. Sprints until your legs are ready to fall off.
And you know what? Basic Training doesn't just push your physical limits.
It will absolutely push your MENTAL LIMITS...to the brink. What can you LEARN...and how fast you can learn it?
All under intense pressure.
And if you give the wrong answer...or if you hesitate...or sound wishy washy, your BFF drill sergeant will absolutely bring the pain.
And let's be honest.

No One Wants to be THAT Guy
There were a couple of those sh*t for brains in my platoon at basic.
They were constant targets for the drill sergeants.
No one had much respect for them.
They were constant targets for the drill sergeants.
No one had much respect for them.
And you know what? They felt like losers...embarrassed...all the freaking time.
Everyone could see it.
Some washed out completely. Others got recycled. And some made it...just by the skin of their teeth.
And...when basic training was finally over, some other hard truths set in.

And...when basic training was finally over, some other hard truths set in.
The guys that struggled? They were the ones NOT getting the MOS they wanted.
They were a rank or two behind where they could have been.
They even came out earning less money.
All because...basic training owned them.
Most of them could barely hack the physical part...but it was the mental strain that got to them.

Make a Difference
Here’s what made sense to me toward the end of my stint at basic training.
There was crap-ton of stuff we could have learned BEFORE we shipped...
And it would have made a HUGE difference for me...for my battle buddy...basically for EVERYONE...
Especially for the ones who weren’t the sharpest tools in the shed...if you know what I mean.
There was SO MUCH we could have done to prepare for Basic BEFORE we shipped. Both PHYSICALLY and MENTALLY.
Because at Basic you are getting in MILITARY SHAPE...and You’re LEARNING a TON of information...and under intense pressure.
Doesn’t it make sense to get as much as you can under your belt...BEFORE you ship?

Doesn’t it make sense to get as much as you can under your belt...BEFORE you ship?
That's why I made it my personal mission to get as many new recruits as possible as ready as possible for basic training.
Imagine this...
Imagine knowing the answers to your Drill Sergeant’s questions BEFORE you even ship.
Now...imagine NOT knowing those answers...when he’s screaming at you...demanding the RIGHT answer...one half inch from your face.
Now...picture yourself standing tall, answering INSTANTLY...while everyone in your platoon breathes a sigh of relief...because you know your sh*t.
Imagine being the guy or gal your BFF STOPS asking questions of...because you know your sh*t.
It’s not only possible...it’s easier than you think… when you have the SECRET WEAPON.

Don't Try and "Wing It"
Now...don’t think that will happen if you think you can just show up and wing it.
Nope.
Basic Training University is known to make new recruits almost INVISIBLE to drill sergeants...because drill sergeants...are looking for easy targets to make examples of.
Nope.
Basic Training University is known to make new recruits almost INVISIBLE to drill sergeants...because drill sergeants...are looking for easy targets to make examples of.
Don't be an EASY Target!
That’s why I made this my personal mission AFTER my service was complete and I was honorably discharged.
I knew I had to put together all the best tips and tricks so ANYONE, no matter how fit, smart or tough they were...or thought they were...could make Basic Training a breeze.
And that’s exactly what I did when I got out. I created the secret weapon every new recruit needs to master Basic Training.

And that’s exactly what I did when I got out. I created the secret weapon every new recruit needs to master Basic Training.
You See, My Secret Weapon:
- Helps recruits get in MILITARY shape. (If you’re a gym rat, you’re gonna to struggle!)
- Shows you how to deal with your "crazy" drill sergeants, and...
- Reveals what to learn & memorize BEFORE your ship date.
New recruits that get my secret weapon know EXACTLY what to EXPECT...and know EXACTLY what to do about it.
“Just Get Through It”
Funny - some recruits don’t think they need to do ANYTHING before they ship.
In fact, I hear noobs say all the time, “Dude, I got this. I just want to ‘get through’ basic training. I just want to survive. Why would I need a course? Why do I need to get prepared?”
To me, it’s like saying, “I just want to be average.” Or “I’ll just take my chances.”
Why leave something so IMPORTANT to CHANCE?
In case you hadn’t noticed, each military branch is accepting fewer and fewer recruits. It’s not like it was after 9/11.

Right now, the US military rejecting almost
80% of applicants!
80% of applicants!
That means competition for YOU is getting tougher...and not just to get in.
That competition INCREASES once you get there...to get the MOS you want...to get promotions...and to get that earliest bump in pay.

What Do You Want?
What If?
But...they’re nervous the whole time…instead of confident.
It becomes one of the most difficult experiences of their lives...instead of being a walk in the park.
They’re disappointed at graduation...because they can see what COULD HAVE BEEN.

Bottom line: Basic Training
can either be hard...or easy.
And like I said earlier, Basic Training University isn’t for those who just want to get by...just barely make it...or just give it a wing and a prayer.
It’s for those who want to want it to be a breeze...while everyone else sweats it out.
It’s for those who want MORE at the end than just, “I just made it through.”
You really have to ask yourself…
Do you want to say, “Whew...just barely made it…” when you graduate...
Or, do you want to say, "I freaking CRUSHED that!" on graduation day?

...then Basic Training University is for you.
Forget listening to your buddy from school, or trolling the interwebs for reliable information.

- Plus, you’ll get fed a bunch of useless myths that will only HOLD YOU BACK.
Look, I know you’re nervous about Basic Training.
That makes sense: you don’t know what to expect.
- You know you’re going to get yelled at.
- You're going to be put on the spot...in front of everyone.
- Your stuff will get thrown all over the barracks.
- You’ll run til your legs fall off.
- And you’ll do push-ups until your arms feel like noodles.
Everyone’s scared. But not everyone knows what to do about it.
I’ll help you turn your FEAR into FUEL.
Here’s why it's critical you get Basic Training University NOW:
- Some recruits can look like they’re getting SPECIAL TREATMENT. These little-known hacks keep your drill sergeant off your back.

- A simple tip to correct your running stride that improves your time by up to 59% and reduces chance of injury.
- Why 7-12% of new recruits wash out or recycle - and how to make sure you’re part of the 82-93% that succeeds.
- Discover why “non-athletes” often have the advantage over jocks, gym rats , and fitness "studs."
- How you can graduate basic at the top of your class, with the best job, and with a 30% bump in pay.

This course could be worth thousands and thousands of dollars to your military career.

Every one of them understood that acting fast on the right training was essential to success at basic training.
The problem is, I just can’t be in that many places at once.
But my training videos can. You can get instant access today to Basic Training University.

Special Pricing

That’s why I’ve dropped the price to get it into as many hands as possible.
You’ll spend more than double the price of the course for a night out on the town.
Look, your ship date may seem like a long way off, but it’s going to get here before you know it.
The sooner you take advantage of this special pricing, the closer you’ll be to acing basic training.
