Recruit Receiving- When your Recruit arrives.

The first stop is at Recruit Receiving, where new recruits spend the first few days of their recruit training experience. Here they will receive their first haircut and their initial gear issue, which includes items like uniforms, toiletries and letter writing supplies. During this time recruits will also be given a full medical and dental screening, meet their senior drill instructor, and take the Initial Strength Test. This test consists of a one and a half mile run, sit-ups and pull-ups and tests recruits to see if they're in shape to begin training.

Forming

Forming is the period when recruits are taken to their training companies and they "meet" their drill instructors for the first time. During Forming's 3-5 days, recruits learn the basics, like how to march, how to wear their uniform, how to secure their weapon, etc. This period of time allows recruits to somewhat adjust to the recruit training way of life before the first actual training day.

Family Day & Graduation

Family Day and Graduation take place on the last two days while on Parris Island. Family Day gives new Marines a chance to see their family and friends for the first time during on-base liberty. Graduation follows the next morning with a formal ceremony and parade on the Peatross Parade Deck.

All this adds up to approximately 13 weeks.
