Sergeant Michael Volkin has done it again with The Ultimate Interactive Basic Training Workbook! After hearing the same request from literally hundreds of new recruits and veteran soldiers, he has developed a dynamic follow-up to complement and enhance his best-selling The Ultimate Basic Training Guidebook (Savas Beatie, 2005).
The Ultimate Interactive Basic Training Workbook is a comprehensive interactive guide crafted especially for today’s computer-savvy recruit (any branch, male or female). When used together with Volkin’s original guidebook, the Workbook provides every recruit with the inside knowledge of basic training he/she needs to not only survive, but thrive in the military.
This remarkable cutting-edge book includes interactive activities, multiple choice and true/false questions, short answer, word association games, and flash cards you cut out and use to enhance memory and recall. Everyone who purchases this title will be allowed entry into the special “Workbook” section of Sergeant Volkin’s dynamic website, where they will find additional in-depth answers and tips for every question asked in the book—and much more! Audio and video graphic icons placed throughout the Workbook let readers know additional information is available on Sergeant Volkin’s website.
The Workbook also includes a complete exercise program designed to turn civilians into “military-fit” recruits before they enter basic training. Is Volkin’s physical training program really indispensable? Absolutely! This workbook walks every reader through a comprehensive preparatory fitness program. As any recruit who has passed through basic training will tell you, there is a giant difference between "civilian fit" and "military fit." Sergeant Volkin’s book has the charts, tables, photos, and graphs you need every step of the way to get yourself "military fit" and ready for boot camp.
Knowledge is power, and stepping off the bus and into boot camp armed with everything you need to know will give you an enormous advantage over most of the other recruits.
The Ultimate Interactive Basic Training Workbook was written by a soldier for men and women who want to become soldiers . . . exceptional soldiers. No one should enter boot camp without having read and reread Sergeant Volkin’s indispensable books.
