Detailed walkthrough
This quest can be started autonomously any time after leaving Vault 76 or the player character may be prompted to begin it when they encounter the locked elevator in Fort Defiance which requires a military ID card to access. The player character must first become a member of the U.S. military by completing the training regimen at Camp McClintock before they are able to obtain an ID card.

Travel to Camp McClintock and speak to the Master Sergeant Gutsy. The Master Sergeant will not permit the player character to begin their training without being appropriately dressed in military fatigues and an Army helmet. These items of clothing can be found throughout Appalachia; they are also issued by the Quartermaster Gutsy as long as one is in possession of a uniform voucher. The uniform disbursement log located on the quartermaster's desk indicates that Cadet Darek Archibald lost his voucher in the barracks. The player character can search the barracks for the voucher and return with it to the Quartermaster who will provide them with the required uniform.

Once the uniform is equipped, speak with the Master Sergeant again to begin the training regimen. This consists of three training courses on marksmanship, agility and patriotism which can be completed in any order (specific details on each of the subquests can be found on their respective pages).
 * Marksmanship Course: Shoot all the targets before time runs out.
 * Agility Course: Complete an obstacle course before time runs out.
 * Patriotism Training: Investigate three suspicious boys to find evidence and determine which of them might be a Communist sympathizer.

Report back to the Master Sergeant after completing the three training courses. The player character will then be asked to take part in a final Live Fire Training Exercise. This exercise involves facing off against three waves of Communist bots (Comrade Eyebots, Communist sympathizer Protectrons and Communist trooper Mister Gutsies).

Upon completing the exercise, return to the Master Sergeant and graduate as a fully-fledged member of the U.S. military. This grants the player character access to the military wing of the Whitespring bunker after completing One of Us and also enables them to obtain a military ID card from the Charleston DMV as part of Recruitment Blues.
