Trainees completing #BCT or #OSUT must complete the NIC before graduating. The purpose of the NIC is to build @USArmy Trainees' confidence and introduce them to the sights and sounds of the battlefield in a controlled manner. What was your NIC experience like?

The Forge is the culminating event in Basic Training, it challenges @USArmy Trainees to effectively execute all skill level 1 tasks they've learned prior to graduating from Basic Training and being called a Soldier.
