*The first time you load the web browser and access your specialty handbook using a mobile device, it is recommended that you do so over a Wi-Fi network; the first viewing may be slower when accessed from a 3G network. After your initial access, a temporary file will be stored to your device which will enable faster access over a 3G network.

 

The PREP Basic Training Program Requirement Handbooks are to be read in conjunction with the respective Basic Training curriculum.
