9 weeks of Basic Training followed by 5 weeks of AIT Infantry School. This will be done simultaneously non-stop. So a total of 14 weeks all together.
Initial training consists of Marine Recruit Training, and the School of Infantry which is the standard training where EVERY Marine learns to be a rifleman. Recently, changes in recruiting have enabled young recruits with little experience to attend the RECON Indoctrination Program (RIP).
