Recruit Training Command (RTC) staff and recruits explain the development and key concepts of the Warrior Toughness program piloted at RTC over the past two years. More than 35,000 recruits train annually at the Navy's only boot camp.
During my 30 year tenure this toughness was often shown as unit pride and professionalism. I wish the current force the best of luck with this and hope the resources needed to carry the vision though to completion are made available so this program can fully stand up.
I am in the AWTT course now to learn how to teach some of the concepts of Warrior Toughness and it is honestly a great class. I have had a lot of fun with it and seeing it being incredibly beneficial to the Navy if implemented correctly throughout the Fleet.
