In RSP there are three phases red phase (the person's first drill), White phase (from their second drill to the person's drill two months before they ship to BCT), Blue Phase (the person's last drill before they ship to BCT), Green phase (for the warriors who are slit-shippers who have completed BCT and have come back to finish their senior year of high school or of college and are waiting to ship to AIT), Brown phase (they are now soldiers and have completed both BCT and AIT, this is their last drill with RSP before they go to their home unit). While at RSP warriors do various training that will prepare them for BCT (i.e. red, white, blue phase with do the 1-1-1 pt test which is 1 mile, 1 minute for push-ups, 1 minute for sit-ups, while green phase do the 2-2-2 which is a 2 mile run, 2 minutes for sit-ups and 2 minutes for push-ups; and other types of various training excerises).
