  • I WENT TO THE FIELD. This is a day in the life of a U.S Army soldier (Me) where I go to my first field training exercise or FTX in my Army career. In basic training and AIT, going to the field or doing FTX's may seem intimidating but it really isn't that bad.

      Could you film a video on AIT for your mos on what you did day to day(on an average day) what restrictions did you have? Did they have any phases in which you gained privileges? What is your average day like working in the office aspect

    Hey Arron Thanks For Your time in posting these vidoes and helping me get info to my son who is currently in boot camp at Fort Sills Ok and will be staying there for AIT as well. I guess a lot of things changed since you where there such as shark week is no longer and My Son was In reception for 2 weeks and The 2 letters I received from him he is not doing good and that he feels he made the wrong Choice in Joining The Military and He is on the verge of a nervous break down and is having some bad case of Paranoia and He has never had this before. He is now in Phase 2 and If he stays the course he is set to graduate 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. I am sending him as well as his family letters of support love and encouragement. I understand this is not easy on any1 and its the hardest thing he has ever done and being a single mom and his mom at that I am worried for him and there is nothing I can do I feel helpless. I know he has to grind it out I know My son Can do it I am just questioning if maybe this was the wrong decision for him. Ive tried to reach his recruiter but Please foegive me for saying this I know there are some good ones out there but To Him he made his money off my son. He will not return a call a text nothing when he promised in that hotel parking lot before my son shipped if I needed anything to call him.. Your Vidoes help me getting information to my son in the weeks to come and what he is going to endure to hopefully prepare him and make it a little easier for him. This Wednesday October 7th is his birthday and he will be turning 20 while in boot camp. I am sorry this message is so long but Ive been subscribed and watching all your vidoes since my son left and You truly help me understand what my son is going through and keeping me informed of what he is going through each day each week each phase. Its also upsetting that this is the week I am supposed to be making arrangements and flights and hotels to see him graduate but due to covid I can only see him Graduate virtually and once he finds out we can't see that happen I know he is going to break. I tell my son in every letter that everyday you wake up and put your feet on the floor you made it through another day of Boot Camp The Day Before they didn't break you that you are still fighting and that 1 day closer to the goal. Now I actually do Have a question My son Signed a 3 year contract his MOS is Artillery the person who fires the shit from 1000 yards back I believe he is C BTRY 1-40th Platoon FA BW 4th Platoon Heatheans have no idea what any of that means but my question is if he decides to fight through this and see his commitment through how does stationing work like where or how do they decide where he will serve his active duty at. Like You for Instance You are at Fort Drum Thats About 7 to 8 hours from where we live in Staten Island Ny how did you end up there? I am sorry that this message is a novel and I am ways in your messages asking questions you must think I am A Crazy Mom..That is not the Case I just want him to be mentally okay and see his commitment tbrougj because he will be set for life. He originally wanted to become a cop and with all the crap going on and him being of a mixed race he felt he can do this and he has his life mapped out which is going to work for the FBI or Secret Service and his school is payed for.. Im just scared for him because of his letters and All I want him to be happy....So Thank You For All Your Awesome Videos and Advice and Maybe if You Have Time You Can send Him a quick letter of encouragement from someone who has been where he is at and how tou are doing now.... Thank you for your service......

    I don't know about now (even though I believe it might be the same), but in the 90's, your MOS had absolutely nothing to do with how often you went to the field. How often was determined by the unit you were assigned too. I was a 71L (Administrative Specialist) and all my units were field units, so I was in the field allot. But that was OK, I enjoyed going to the field. However, I enjoy these type of vids, lets me know how things are now compared to when I was in.

    When we went to field we would bring mass quantities of ALCOHOL! Especially when I was in Germany! That was the early 70’s, but we would party at night!!!

    So I have a question. I'm waiting for a waiver to get back in so I can go in for active, living on base. I'm a gamer and I want to be in more than anything but was curious about like is it possible to somehow get your PC to your living quarters? Or is that not possible and you just gotta buy a new one or what ?
