- Thanks for watching!!! Would love to hear any questions that you have for me!
Things I recommend getting...
Ranger Handbook: amzn.to/2tiJlPH
Waterproof Watch: amzn.to/2u1DeOz
Waterproof Notebooks: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
So, you decided to join the Army? Playlist: • So, you decided to joi...
I'm a Desert Storm vet, I went to basic at Ft. Sill Oklahoma. Your videos are great for new soldiers going in, We did not have social media back then only your recruiter words of wisdom lol.
David Rousse ya mean fabrications
We basically winged it!! Jul - Sep 87 for me...
One thing i noticed in my basic training class of 2012, no one failed. They were either medical discharges or quitters. About 33% of my platoon washed out from those issues and i don't remember a single person who actually failed and got recycled. Just keep a level head and don't quit and you'll be okay.
It bothers me that you wore a red shirt for red phase and a blue shirt for blue phase, but not a while shirt for white phase ! ;-)
Awesome video nonetheless, you've earned a subscriber ! :D
Go home!
Yeah stop complaining
Not complaining but I thought the same thing lmao
whites add another load, i get this guy lol
My son is currently in week two of white phase and these videos are spot on of his every day activities.
In my basic the highest rifle score shot a real AT4 and the highest PT score got to set off a claymore.
Kog aww they actually reward people for getting the best score
That's kind of sweet. They should of put a little bow on the AT4
2-19?
Grenade range was one of my favorites, so was the SAW range, and a few others. I most definitely agree that seeing an AT-4 round go off is impressive. They chose a 5 foot female soldier to shoot off the live one, and darn near put her on her butt.
Daniel Sullivan kinda worried about the grenade range because I suck at throwing things where I want them IRL, I know they give you duds to start with but still
AT4 almost put her on her butt???🤔
@Green Gobby yah I passed it on my second try, they fucked me over by trying to get me to spread my legs super far, I couldn’t make distance
My boyfriend shipped out for Fort Benning on the 19th, and these videos has been helping me have an idea what he's been doing, and it's somewhat helping me with feeling like he won't be gone for too long for some oddly reason lol
Well, more like what he will be doing, he's still in reception
My girlfriend left on the 14th. I’ve been watching all his videos to help her out too and get more knowledge on what she’s doing while she’s there too. She’s started BCT and is only a couple days into red phase and I miss her so much already
You’re such a great girlfriend, taking the time to learn the military.
My husband left a couple days ago, and it makes me feel better to know what hes going through. I've watch so many of these kinds of videos...
is he as fat as you are?
You got a 30 minute call?!?!?!? Our calls were no longer than 10 minutes! And what radio?! So much for relaxing Jackson
John Gooden he went to benning bro
William Braxk but John went to Jackson. He’s saying that the stereotype that Jackson was easy is wrong.
John Gooden when did you attend BCT? These kids today have it a lot easier than in the old days regardless of where they go.
10 minutes? The average is 30 seconds to a minute.
I think he might have said 30 seconds, if not, I’m hope that’s what he meant lol
The day we marched out to our final zeroing range I was one of four soldiers that collapsed with heat injury and wound up spending the night in the hospital.
Wow
You are an Awesome MAN! Thanks for helping your brothers!!!!
Thank you for the videos! It actually helps. My brother is currently in reception at Benning.
Watched alot of your videos very helpful just subscribed keep up the good work.
Thank you SO much for your videos! My husband is at Basic at benning now and it's been so nice to hear what they are doing because he really doesn't have time to write a ton about it!
Always enjoy your videos. My son is at Benning as we speak, and he is in White Phase. Your videos help me understand a lot of things.
He is in fact right about the EST range. I am not old enough to join the Army yet, but I go to a lot of military owned public places for people to see and try different things that are in basic training. By far, my favorite was EST
I was the company guide on carrier from the third day of basic till about 7th week. They gave it to a different platoon because they beat us on one of the tests.
Carrying the company guide on meant I was always in front on road marches I never had to eat the dust in the back, I was also usually the first in line for the chow hall.
loved your explanation of the IED's 😂 great video I love how in depth your stuff is
I know right! Extremely scientific. lol Thanks for the comment!
My son is in fort Benning at Basic Training and I was curious about white phase because he starts tomorrow. So helpful and now I know what I can ask him about or mention in a letter. Thank you
They bring the video game range around to high schools now. Its in a little trailer and when they came to my school, you could either play with the EOD bots or go to the video game range. They had boys use an M9 and girls use the M4
I would not be surprised if they really did run out of ammo. It is a pain in the neck for some units to return unused ammo. We had to get a special order from the battalion commander to store some unused ammo in our arms room overnight. We had to have guards stay there at night. We never left a range again without shooting all are ammo. If everyone had qualified and we still had ammo left we would just switch to burst and go through ammo real quick.
Thanks so much for
Making these my son left for Benning on aug 21st it helps me know what he is doing wile he is there :)
Of course! Glad it helps in any way!
Can you do a video on when you get your uniform and what to look for when getting it?
this is awesome to watch
Very helpful! Thanks for the vid :D
Tail end of white for my SIT. Blue, black, gold come on!
Wonder how much OSUT changes this stuff, I’ll be curious to see what the change is.
If the AT4 thing is based on the range I might actually make that. I’m a pretty good shot I’m just not as experienced on irons so that should be a fun challenge. Going to basic after shooting thousands of rounds over the last year so really hoping I can shoot expert, but gotta try for perfect. I think the rifle qual is a little different now but not sure if that’s been implemented yet.
If I had an optic I know I’d be able to smash the rifle qual.
I still have a few years until I can join the Army, but I definitely enjoy watching these videos. Really, my only fear is failing the monkey bars and being recycled.
Going to the range almost always sucks regardless of BCT or not. If you get a chance to ever go to a range run by Special Forces make sure you go those fellas make it fun.
hey man these videos are really awesome! filling in all the blank spots in basic! im leaving june 20th for benning! keep it up man and thanks again
boosted_bailey kuch whts ur mos? im waiting for intel to open

Ms Marie Aye right on! well hey I wish you the best and thanks for actually being nice my fellow youtuber lol
boosted_bailey kuch i leave June 4th. Good luck brother
How much weight did you carry on the Ruck Marches? And are you allowed to do a little jog or do you stay in formation?
So I took the Future Soldier Training Course on Land Nav and I have the basics down but those 8-digit grid coordinates are super tricky dude! Do you have any tips on getting those down? I can never seem to really eye ball the exact tic mark in between the half tic mark and the number ones. Is it just educated guessing?
So are there any points during basic training where you get some down time like socializing, writing in a notebook, etc.?
Ok thanks
Were the drill sergeants aware of the heat of Summer? How did they monitor your health, since you were in peak Summer? Were you issued sodium, potassium , and some kind of carbohydrate to prevent or treat it? The only thing im worried about is the heat....
Thanks for your videos!!
I did BCT at Benning in summer (July-Sep), it is indeed hot AF and the DS's are well aware. The biggest thing they constantly bang on about is hydration. You're always wearing a camelbak, they always bring a water buffalo (basically big potable water tank) to ranges, and they'll occasionally check your camelbak's fullness by squeezing it.
Also, for my company at least, we had to have these little beads on a string tied to our camelbaks that we would use to keep track of our water intake (for half a camelbak, slide one bead up IIRC). Sure, you could lie about it, but it really did behoove you to track your intake honestly, lest you become a HEAT CASUALTY and get to enjoy the other tool DS's use for heat mitigation, the ice sheets. They're basically bedsheets soaked in a cooler filled with ice and water. They strip you down to your skivvies and wrap you up and tuck the ice sheets in all your crevices (pits, neck, crotch, etc). On a particularly hot day, one joker volunteered to be ice sheeted, and ultimately said it absolutely was not worth it
Radio and 30 minute phone calls does not sound like white phase at BCT is like it used to be.
Hey man, I'm going to Benning on the 25th and your first video gave me a great idea of what to expect but you never really talked about if there's any time throughout red phase when you get to call/write to family and friends
Hey you forgot the 3rd component of the ARMY in your intro man we all train together
More details about PT every day. Do the Drill Sergeant get mad if you fall behind on a run?
Yes
Mad? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
did the radio have a cassette player & would we be able to have cassette tapes?
@14:42 MREs for....... lunch.
Also @27:40 I think the more apt comparison would be doing the same except putting the safety on and applying constant and significant force to the trigger. Better hope that safety works. The safety in the 'nade's case being the pin, because in the same way the pin keeps the lever from opening far enough to trigger it, the safety on the m16 keeps the trigger from closing far enough to.... trigger it.
Could you do a video explaining PTs and Ruck marches?
what time does the training day ends.. and how much free time your have a day?
about 2 hours
Define "free time" in Basic... 🤣🤣🤣
@@64worshipper already came and gone lol
Hey just a little question do you live on base or no?
Was the pt in the morning still2 minutes of push ups 2 minutes of sit ups and a 2 mile run?
Mark Murillo I think you’re referring to the rest. Morning PT is more involved. Different exercises meant to improve your pt test performance. Like burpees and mountain climbers
@@shawnstell9871 generally, morning PT is push ups l, sit ups, squats, mountain climbers, and a mile or two mile run
What can you tell me about workind dog handlers (31k) thats my dream MOS and i am enlisting in january.
LeykaiCSGO! Subscribe! Hey dude, 31k was also my dream... Then I talked to a recruiter. The odds of getting it as your mos while enlisting are basically zero. Most 31Ks have been in the army for years before requesting to change to it.
Oh i have that letter it tells me about graduation dates and family day and videos to complete i did that but it does not state if i need to inform them who is coming with me thats what i wanted to know ?
Angie Flores how long did it take for that information to come to you? I’m curious, because my son left recently and I’m not sure when I’ll get his grad dates and all of that.
I’m leaving the 15ty thanks for these
Do they let you shoot full auto?
I don't think some of the trainees get a chance to call their family because it's almost the end of the white phase, but my son doesn't call us 😔
What happens if I can't pass the shooting the gun part? Will I be discharged or recycled?
No it was a joke at Fort Benning. I was there for 3 months and left the military because it was such a joke. If you suck they literally give people expert when they shot while people that can actually shoot had to grind for their scores. I shot 34 outta 40 (Sharpshooter) and then here's Lopez who couldn't even get 15 outta 40 shooting a 37 outta 40. Know why? Drill Sergeants shot for him. It was bullshit. If you suck they don't care you'll shoot till you score minimum or you'll get "help". DS was literally laying in the prone next to him in his lane and shooting the 175-300 meter targets for him. Smh.
@CHAD TAJIK I wanted to fight for my country but it wasn't what I thought it was gonna be. I still love and support our troops though.
Army BCT: The only place you can fly a white flag and not be surrendering LMAO
question...on a ruck march do you have to run or are yall just walking
Pretty sure they just walk
Do you shoot with iron sights/flip ups as well as a acog or similar in white phase?
KDreezy Gaming You won’t see an ACOG until you get to your operational unit. Maybe not even then depending on your MOS. I was at Carson for 2 and a half years plus a year in Iraq and never had anything but iron sites. I was a support MOS so the Army determined we did not need an ACOG.
You'll get a Comp M4/CCO Red Dot by Aimpoint. Just a standard little red dot but its rugged and accurate
Hey matt i'm more of a hand to hand combatant guy (judging by my experience in muay thai and boxing), how hard is it to shoot the guns? Should i get an airsoft gun to practicr shooting?
It's not hard and whatever fighting experience you have or don't have makes 0 difference with shooting
Matt Ward should i get an airsoft gun and practice shooting with it?
Matt Ward i live in nj and my parents dont allow guns in the house
iron khan that’s gay, why?
Denny Rice because their pakistani parents who don't believe in violence at all.
does the kick hurt
did you swim? I hate swimming
When you zero your rifle are you using iron sights or an optic?
Iron sights
Ok thanks i dont have Instagram account but i was curious about family how do i let them know who is coming with me to see my son i heard they need the info
Your son will send you a letter with all of that information with how and when to send in that information. That won't be until about week 5 of basic training though so you probably have 1-2 months before you find out the exact graduation date and all of that info.
Is it only the morning when you PT or is there more later?
after the morning PT you can basically call PT "corrective training"
Once you get to blue phase they usually allow you to run around the battalion area between the end of training time, and lights out formation.
Is there a way to count your calorie intake while you’re in there?
Just eat what they give you
can i negotiate in my contract that after training i get into airborne school? if i join i only wanto do airborne
It has to be in your initial enlistment contract to have it guaranteed. Anything besides that is not guaranteed. I didn't get it in mine and my recruiter made me think I could do it after training but I didn't. I should go soon but it will just depend on some luck/timing/right place right time.
Do the drill sergeants read your soldiers letters before they get them?
No
Not read, but they'll definitely open it if there are obviously pictures inside. My then-fiancee sent me some pictures, and one of them was of us together at a waterpark where she was wearing a bikini. Before they gave me the letter, they made me take that picture and put it in an envelope to mail back to her. Probably for the best, at that point in the cycle it would have definitely been a distraction...
Hey man I've injoyed all you video's thanks my son is at fort benning about to finish i just need more info can i message you some how
You can message me on CZcams. You can also send me a message on Instagram. I communicate a lot through that.
Damn basic training really changed you get to use your own phones and got radio privilehe damn. We got to use the payphones and that was our only privilege like twice in basic. And never got no radio privilege
the Cherrys View The cherrys view its good to keep the morale high.
Usmc doesn't allow any phone time except the week before the crucible to tell your family when to come to graduation.
The only time we ever heard the radio in basic was so the Drill SGT’s could smoke us in cadence. Never forget it was that Kanye West “Money Right” song.
thanks for your videos. my son is at fort jackson right now....week 2 of white phase should start tomorrow. He haven't gotten any phone calls. I'm so sad. I'm on a fb moms group and several moms from his same company and platoon got reward phone calls from their kids tonight (july 4) If he's not getting reward calls does that mean he's not doing well? I'm kinda worried now :(
staci garrison hahahahah relaxin jackson real men go to benning
Thats not very encouraging for her
So is the rock March running or walking 🤔
Fast walking basically
It's called a doubletime march. It is somewhat difficult to write, but it is sort of a half walk, half march.
HarveyRR. J_YT Yea during that time I didn’t know but I leaned when my time came to half right face after my platoon fucked up during ceremonies 😂😂😂
@@SupportingThaKingz well, at least you learned.
HarveyRR. J_YT Lul ikr 😅 ima make a whole video about how many times we gotten smoked & post it on my main channel. Everyone experience of basic & AIT is different just happy to have grad
Ooof I'm pretty bad at test
So in basic you can take your personal phone, but they get taken throughout the phase, and at the end we get them back to call home and talk about what’s happened, is that correct? Please reply, I’m getting shipped in October 2019
jose lugo you’ve got plenty of time. i leave next month 😂
Yes you can take your phone, it gets taken away and you usually get it back for a quick call home after each phase
My son only got a 3 minute phone call after red phase not 30mins😭
It's the U.S. Military, what do you expect?
RIP M203
Illuminati confirmed at the very beginning of the video 👌 haha just joshin'....but the possibility IS there....dun dun duuun.
No love for us ARNG?
Michael Sigdestad What MOS?
was there no med course?
jimmyt568 I think basic med is red phase
Back when I was about 9-10 years old I was staying at a friends house and we stayed at his sisters house and she had a live grenade and she was showing us it and she dropped it by accident and the pin came out of it and me and my friend left the house until she said it was safe to come in 😂😂. She picked the grenade up and put the pin back in the grenade.
How long is basic training ?
about 10 weeks
47 years... feels like it, anyway.
Hi my boyfriend just left for basic training at fort benning a week ago and i was just wondering that you stated that it the white phase on the 19th day you got phone privileges on sunday after church .. is this every sunday or just that one sunday?
and also when do you get to write your first letter??
You can send out a letter the first day of basic. Not at Reception. Also, phone calls generally happen on Sundays. It is NOT every Sunday though
Matt Ward do i have to wait for him to send the first letter or will someone send his parents his mailing address? i’m really struggling here hahaha
Matt Ward and also how will I know that he is out of reception and starting basic training?
He has to reach out to you first and then you can write as much as you want and it is about a week that someone is at reception
😢🪵🥷🥷😂😤😤🤘👍👍👌
My boy was on air soft team, would you say that prepared him?
I leave tomorrow and I am so fucked.
He said wiener range 😂
This guys ego 😂😂
