U.S. Army Reception Battalion

  • Reception Battalion (RECBN) is the period that begins when the recruit arrives at the Army post where he or she is to undergo Basic Training. Instead of spending a full day processing each individual, the US Army likes to spread out the processing to offer each soldier plenty of waiting time each day for the one to three weeks that it can take to finish the entry processing.

    If you want to experience what Reception is like before shipping, go to a hospital and find a bench to sit on. You can't look at your phone, you can't talk to anyone, you can't sleep, you just sit and wait. After an hour, get up, fill out a piece of paper with your personal information, find a new bench to sit on for another hour, and repeat. Your only breaks are a 30 minute break for lunch and dinner.
    Reception is my worst nightmare. I'm not exaggerating, I have had nightmares about being back at Reception. Comparing the worst parts of Red Phase (having to wake up in the middle of the night to get smoked because someone fell asleep on fireguard) to Reception, I'd rather do Red Phase again.

      I was in Reception for 16 days in September 1997. Too many incoming soldiers, not enough available units. I agree, it is like prison. At least Once you get to basic you can count down the days. Reception was like anticipating Day 0 for over 2 striaghr weeks.

If you are single, you cannot have custody of minor children. You cannot be undergoing or have any pending civil actions, as some law violations may be disqualifying.

    I see the Army has added PT testing during reception. We had two guys that had to be recycled because they could not even train much less pass the APFT. I also have heard there is a PT standard prior to actual report to active duty, another good idea. During my day you had to complete SQT prior to graduation fron OSUT. I understand the Army is bringing back a form of SQT. Good deal, good luck to everybody joining.

Lucky for me one day I was on KP duty and after dinner service I went back to my bay and found out they all got smoked because a private was caught with a cup of coffee. This was back in '97.

    Okay I have to ask a few stuff and sorry if I comment to much lol, so like let's say you don't want to do this anymore can you like leave or are you forced to stay? And what do you think is the best age to join, can you have a noise ring or will you have to remove it? Thanks

    For people wondering reception is the worst experience you’ll ever go through especially in fort Leonard wood there’s no pt test no more they can’t smoke you in reception but they will yell at you if necessary also it will be the longest days of your life all you do there is sit stay quiet read you blue book and wait in line for hours it’s like meps but way worse and longer you’ll do hearing test dental, eye exam, blood drawn, you’ll get like 8 shots including butt shot then be shipped to basic within a week. Basic is much better you’ll get a lot of sleep compared to reception
