What are the requirements to "graduate with honors" from BCT?

plenty of ways to distinguish yourself: max out on the PRT, do very well in the academic portion, do very well on the military bearing portion. generally be an outstanding recruit. They have the authority to promote a certain number of people one paygrade(up to E3) for any or all of the aforementioned reasons. Not everyone who does well will get promoted though, typically only 1 or 2 from each division can be.
