Having passed all of the physical exams and multiple-choice test, John is now on his way to San Antonio, Texas, for boot camp. He will be sent to school in Biloxi, Mississippi, when he completes boot camp. What part of the employment process is represented by boot camp?

Answer 1

Answer: a. Boot camp is the military's version of employee orientation.

Explanation:

To become an employee in a company, it is standard practice for the employer to give the employee an orientation so that they may be able to perform better at their jobs because they would know what is expected of them and how to go about achieving this.

This is the same for the military. When they send recruits to boot camps, they are doing their version of employee orientation because the recruit will learn what Uncle Sam expects from them and how they are to accomplish these tasks.
