SPLIT OPTION
Soldiers who have completed Basic Combat Training and have not completed Advanced Individual Training, will report back to the RTC during the break in their training, such as; Senior year of high school, college semester, or for a Seasonal job. These Soldiers receive training to reinforce and build on the skills learned at Basic Training.
BATTLE HANDOFF
Once a Soldier has completed both Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training they will return to the RTC for a period of 3 drill weekend. Soldiers are formally processed into their NHARNG units, receive benefits briefings, and meet with NHARNG programs.
