You need to complete your briefing and Bootcamp within a 10 day time period starting today. The Briefing is a short 30-50 minute sit down where the Drill Instructor give you important information regarding the 7th Cavalry that you will need to pass the oral test.

When you have completed the briefing their is a minimum time of 24 hours between the briefing and the bootcamp which consists of a series of weapon qualifications and movement exercises. Depending on the number of Recruits going through bootcamp, they usually last no longer than 60-90 minutes, based off your game.
