 Set up straight and look at me right now. Aye, sir! Fourth Phase is the final two weeks of recruit training after the crucible. It's designed to give the drill instructors more time to demonstrate marine to marine mentorship and provide the recruits the opportunity to transition to their new roles as marines. The new marines during Fourth Phase will learn how to act like marines and take charge, take responsibility and treat others as marines. In this phase, they're given more responsibility, less supervision and that gives them the time to adapt to that situation and start to act like marines instead of marines. Recruit training will remain 13 weeks long. However, some of the events have been reorganized to better suit the Fourth Phase model. It's important to remember that none of the graduation requirements have been changed, lowered or diminished and will still be producing high quality, basically trained marines in the Fourth Phase model. The 6S are the six functional areas of leadership development. They stand for Fidelity, Fighter, Fitness, Family, Finance and the Future. They make up the framework of marine leadership development. By addressing each of these individual areas in Fourth Phase, marine leadership development seeks to ensure development of marines and thus a core that is cohesive, tactically and technically proficient and guided by moral purpose and able to execute the toughest challenges.
