Army Sergeant Reveals “INSIDE SECRETS” to Help New Recruits CRUSH Basic Training.
Don't Just "Survive" - Discover How to ACE Basic Training.
Introducing Basic Training University
Dear New Recruit,
How would you like to ship off to basic loaded with confidence - knowing you had the “INSIDE SECRETS” to CRUSH Basic Training?
And...what if those INSIDE SECRETS could help you:
- Ace Your Fitness Test
- Land the Job you REALLY want after boot camp
- Get Promoted FASTER
- Earn HIGHER PAY after boot camp
And, if those INSIDE SECRETS could be yours without breaking any laws or codes, would you download them?
Hi. I’m Sergeant Michael Volkin, and I’m the creator of Basic Training University.
It’s the online course I created giving you the INSIDE SECRETS to ace basic training...and it can be yours without violating any codes or breaking any laws.
But before I tell you how to get your hands on Basic Training University, I want you to know why I created it.
9/11/2001
It all started with 9/11/2001...the day the Twin Towers fell and my life changed forever.
I know 9/11 changed the lives of ALL Americans. But allow me to tell you how it changed my life. Allow me to reveal you why after 9/11 I made it made it my personal mission to help new recruits discover how to crush Basic Training.
You see, they were still pulling bodies from the rubble of the Twin Towers when I walked into my recruiter’s office and signed my name on the dotted line.
Keep in mind, military service had never even been on my radar.
But after 9/11, I was mad as hell and I was ready to serve my country and protect our freedom.
Jumping In with Both Feet
Like so many in September, 2001, I felt a duty to defend our country, our way of life, and the liberty we all love.
Now, keep in mind:
I didn’t fancy myself as some kind of natural-born badass.
I didn’t consider myself Bin Laden's worst nightmare.
I didn’t even come from a military-minded family.
Truth is, I had just completed my master’s degree and written my thesis. I was on my way to living the life of my dreams!
But 9/11 changed all that.
I felt something inside me...a stirring that said my country’s needs were more urgent than my own dreams.
Some may call it “sacrifice.” But to me, it didn’t feel like “sacrifice.” It was just my duty.
I’m guessing if you’re reading this, you feel the same way.
You value our liberties and our way of life - just as I do.
You have a contribution to make - just like I did.
And you’re ready...ready to serve our country...just as I was.
Whether you choose the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, or the National Guard, you’re ready to serve...just like I was.
But let me tell you something. I had a problem I didn’t even know I had.
I’m willing to bet you’re in the same boat.
My problem was this:
I was ready to serve, but I wasn’t ready for basic training.
Sh*t Gets Real
The ink hadn’t even dried on my signature when the questions started to hit me:
“What have I done?”
“Do I have what it takes to make it?”
“Will I survive?”
I was starting to get nervous.
Just to keep it real...I was flat-out scared.
But...I knew I had to make it through basic training first!
I’d heard stories, seen videos...
I was scared of my drill sergeant.
I was scared I’d get my platoon in trouble by screwing up.
I was scared I’d embarrass my family.
I was afraid I’d be “that guy”...the one who couldn’t cut it.
I did know one thing: I sure as hell did NOT want to fail...not when duty called.
I Tried to Get Ready
So you want to know what I did?
I started looking for tips & tricks...the “cheat codes” that could get me through by getting me ahead.
I knew time wasn’t on my side. A voice in my head kept saying, “Tick tock, private.”
I started by asking my recruiter. But he was so busy he couldn’t help. He had some quick, canned tips, but nothing helpful.
Next I checked out some online forums.
I found a few helpful tricks, but I also found a ton of contradictory advice...and a sh*tload of obvious exaggeration. It ended up being a big freaking waste of time.
So...I figured I’d just have to wing it.
I got in as good shape as I could and waited nervously for my ship date.
Hello, Basic!
Well, my ship date finally arrived and off I went.
You guessed it: I discovered how under-prepared I was. Some of my worst fears came true.
My drill sergeant was a piece of work. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason for his antics. He’d scream at us constantly. We could never do anything right. And he’d drop guys (pushups) for no reason. Could NOT figure that guy out.
What’s more, I thought I was in pretty good shape, but I found out I wasn’t in MILITARY shape.
There was a constant FEAR of being the slowest or the weakest guy in our platoon.
And then, there was so much to LEARN!
I thought of myself as a pretty smart guy. After all, I had a master’s degree!
But at basic, you have to learn fast! And under CRAZY PRESSURE.
And if you screw up or give the wrong answer, your whole platoon gets smoked.
No one wants to be THAT guy!
It was the hardest thing I’d ever been through: physically, emotionally, even spiritually.
I’d never been so exhausted, under THAT much pressure, and expected to learn and perform at such a high level.
What’s worse, I’d never doubted myself so much!
If Only I’d Known
It didn’t take long for me to realize that there was SO much I could have done to get ready for basic IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN.
I wished I had known what to do to get my body prepared for MILITARY FITNESS.
I discovered a boat-load of information I could have memorized BEFORE arriving at basic training: military jargon, acronyms, and general orders.
Separating the Men from the Boys
It wasn’t too long before I started getting the hang of it. My “higher” education actually helped me!
In time, I discovered how to stay off the drill sergeant’s naughty list. I discovered how to succeed as a team, not just succeed as an individual.
I could see it clicking for some other guys, too. Our drill sergeant targeted some of us less and less.
But I also noticed a lot of guys were having a hard time putting it all together.
They became the drill sergeant’s favorite targets.
Man, it sucked for them.
They kept screwing up, getting us all smoked. They were struggling to keep up mentally and physically. They felt embarrassed, defeated.
I could tell they felt like losers. I felt bad for them. But it also pissed me off because the rest of us kept paying a pretty steep price.
After Basic
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. Not everyone comes out at an E-4.
They even came out earning less money.
Some washed out completely. Others got recycled.
All because...they couldn’t hack basic training.
What If?
That’s when it hit me. What if there was a collection of “INSIDE SECRETS” - the very BEST basic training tips and tricks? A guide book that included everything recruits needed...and nothing they didn’t?
What if there was a guide that would:
Help recruits get in MILITARY shape
Show how to deal with drill sergeants, and
Reveal what to memorize BEFORE their ship date?
New recruits would feel like they had the “cheat codes” to beat basic training!
They’d know what was coming before it happened.
The “Notebook”
So I started taking notes - even before I graduated basic.
I started interviewing other recruits. Once deployed I interviewed everyone I could.
I was collecting the “cheat codes” I wished I would have had.
It became my obsession...and in time, it became my mission.
I talked to everyone I could. I ended up pouring 1000’s of hours into interviewing drill sergeants, crusty vets, and recruits fresh out of basic.
Eventually, I ended up interviewing personnel from all five branches of the military. I covered every imaginable MOS.
It took me five years to put it all together, but..
- I assembled all the BEST tips and sneakiest tricks.
- I constructed the underground vault of covert hacks.
- And you DON'T have to break any laws to get it!
I created a collection of INSIDE SECRETS you won’t find anywhere else...even if you spent hundreds of hours scouring Google, YouTube, and every military forum on the planet.
I made it my mission to become the “go-to guy” on getting recruits ready for basic training.
Ultimate Basic Training is Born
After my honorable discharge, I took all my notes and wrote a book. I called it “The Ultimate Basic Training Guidebook.” It’s gone on to be a perennial best-seller and helped thousands of recruits. Barnes and Noble even keeps it stocked in every one of their stores.
But I wanted to do even more. So I interviewed the thousands students who had read my book once they finished basic. I asked them “What worked? What could have worked better?”
And based on their input, I created a completely updated and improved course. And I put it in a whole new video format.
It’s a format that’s proven to make learning easier and “stick” longer.
I’m excited to Introduce “Basic Training University” to you.
It’s EVERYTHING you need to crush basic training - all in a series of 9 no holds barred, no BS videos.
There is nothing like it on the planet.
It’s so effective that Army.com and Military.com BOTH say it should be REQUIRED for every single new recruit.
And I’m proud to say it’s helped thousands of new recruits get ready for basic training. Just like it will help you.
“Just Get Through It”
Funny - some recruits don’t think they need it.
In fact, I hear noobs say all the time,
“Dude, 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!
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.
That’s why Basic Training University is so critical. It gives you a big advantage at the earliest possible stage of your military career.
So, What Do You Want?
Think about it. What do YOU really want out of basic training? Do you just want to survive? Just get through it? Do you want to wing it? To be average?
Or, do you want to graduate basic training with...
- High Fitness Scores
- Better Pay
- Faster Promotions
- Pride in your accomplishment
...then you need Basic Training University.
Forget listening to your buddy from school, or trolling the interwebs for reliable information.
- You'll waste a ton of time.
- You'll get an incomplete picture of what YOU need to do to get ready.
- Plus, you'll get fed a bunch of useless myths that will only HOLD YOU BACK.
And your recruiter just doesn’t have the time to give you one-on-one coaching.
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. Your stuff will get thrown all over the barracks. You’ll run til your legs fall off. And you’ll do pushups until your arms feel like noodles.
Everyone’s scared. Like I said, I was.
The answer to that fear? PREPARATION. That’s right. Getting ready. I’ll teach you everything you need to know to get ready - really ready.
I’ll help you turn your FEAR into FUEL.
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.

Your performance in basic training will directly affect your pay scale. You can leave basic as an E1 up through an E4. Did you know there’s a 30% pay difference between being an E1 and an E4? And guess what? Basic Training University pays for itself because you will earn more points during basic training. This gets you a raise and promoted sooner.
You get to buy more of what YOU want.
