Everyone that's going to basic training. Just remember it's all a mind game.Dont quit and remember teamwork. No snitching on your battle buddies..
Thanks Matt for being an outlet for future soldiers🙌
“There will be no shark attack when you get to your training,” - 30th AG Drill Sergeants, June 2nd, 2020. Let me tell you, they lied to us. We got hammered
My first day of basic was June 1st. We didn't get shark attacked. I guess it just depends on your company/platoon.
damn bro what unit did you go to lol? I arrived at 30th, Bravo company, arrived June 2nd 2020. We never had a Shark Attack, just the First 100 Yards.
Though, all I can say is..
"Listen, privates...COVID aint that bad. A little cough only killed a few people, and if you die, at least your family gets $400,000!"
Are they still removing masks at the gas chamber? I hear they are not doing that part anymore because of covid
The unit I went to had their masks removed. I was unable to participate in CBRN as I had to battlebuddy someone to Sick Call, was voluntold. But yes, as far as I know they are doing it again.
@@artidox__ Drill Sergeant Lopez was one messed up fella. I got there June 1st and was also in Bravo Company. Man I miss Oti
Basic Training has been a Horrible experience so far! I arrived July 28 and I’ve been here over a month now, in quarantine the entire time and haven’t even started any training! People from my barracks kept testing positive for covid and when 1 person tests positive the entire bay has to quarantine an additional 2 weeks. Every time we get to the end of our quarantine we do another covid test and more people test positive so then we have to restart quarantine! I’m not sure if I’ll ever get out of here... they let us have our phones all day and night until we get out of here which is nice, otherwise I would have went insane by now. (FLW Missouri)
What company are you in? I’m still here in FLW but in AIT
Im heading there soon, no offense but i hope i dont get anywhere near your company lol
I don’t wanna go now
I arrived July 7th, 8 weeks of Yellow Phase, white phase insert in another battalion because my battalion moved on. I saw them start white and blue phase while I stayed in yellow. 3-34. One testing positive sends the whole platoon into a 2 week reset.
Covid was just starting to get out of control when I got to BCT. Everything started out normal but by the time we got to White Phase, EVERYTHING changed. It kinda sucked. Our Forge consisted of rucking at night and sitting on our ruck sacks all day. We couldn't even wear our Dress Blues for Graduation. I've been at AIT for 4 months now and I am currently on quarantine due to leaving for a family emergency. I'm ready to leave 2020 behind.
You and the rest of the world.
@@mr.k.i.s.s7496 Let's hope 2021 is somewhat more "normal"? Lol, whatever that means.
I think we are ALL ready to leave 2020 behind. I am scheduled to leave this November and I am fully aware of this YELLOW PHASE (2-week quarantine) and no more "in your face" shark attack...smh
I ship at the end of January..... praying everything’s back to normal by then
I graduated may 7th and it was crazy. They just moved us to the woods. It's rough and it was really strange
I leave for Fort Jackson on the 27th of October. Going in for 25B. Thanks Matt for all your help!
Same
I leave on November 3rd Ft Jackson. 25B
I graduated bct August 14th from fort sill and it was a different experience. We still got hammered, had a shark attack and all that. But corona was serious we spent our whole cycle wearing mask except while running and conducting the acft. We lost 82 people from our battery. All of 3rd platoon tested positive, we spent 5 weeks in quarantine and that had a wild 4 weeks of training. Back to back long days, no rest days. We put the 10 weeks of training into 4 weeks and it was mentally really tough, at the same time so exciting. Felt like we never got a break. I’m happy with my experience though. Your videos helped a lot. Thanks for making these videos keep it up. Good luck to our future soldiers and remember have fun at basic it’s meant to change you for the better don’t forget that. Motivation equals Graduation. Army Strong.
I just graduated basic 3 days ago. Covid really watered it down and made it so easy
I leave in two weeks, so if you could give your best description of what it’s like that would be nice haha and do you get your phone during the quarantine weeks? I have a feeling it will be awfully boring if not
Barry Dunegan so I went to Fort Leonard Wood. When I first got there we were in processing got tested for covid and we’re getting things we needed like our pt’s socks etc. The process took two days and we didn’t sleep for any of it. The first two weeks is called “yellow phase” I did not get my phone those two weeks I just got to know the people in my sleep bay. It was so boring, literally the most boring two weeks I’ve ever had. Then we started red phase, oh yeah we didn’t have a shark attack, can’t do combatives either which was sad. My company barely did pt in the morning, we ate field chow way more than we went to the defac. Lights out is 2100 and wake up always changed but most of the time it was 0600. I honestly didn’t like the experience. I hope you have a better one. Goodluck man!
Ft. LW originally in B1-48 for nearly 8 hours. No shark attack - gatorneck 24/7 (including sleeping). Was woken up and told I wasn't contagious but had to take 2 battles and see 1SG outside. Went into a quarantine building. I learned that a buddy I'd met at MEPS who was in the same company had tested positive (but never had symptoms), so I was in quarantine (2 bed room to myself), he was in isolation (same deal). Only real difference was we lined up for chow in the building and we had some freedom of movement, at least on our floor; isolation (buddy's building) had more strict stay in room except for hygiene and cleaning after each meal, and they got to-go boxes for every meal.
On day 15 in there, I got called up; went to the hold-under / RHU barracks across the street from 43rd (inprocessing). After 3 days, I got out back into quarantine because my original company had about 50% positives. 2 weeks later (in a 6 bed room) the 6 of us got called up and the 4 who were chaptering out went home quickly; my buddy and I who were going to BCT went to C1-58 and had a great time.
No Hammer; 2day/1night Anvil; 3day/2night Forge, Battle,March,Shoot, back to the barracks, warrior ceremony, then back to the barracks around 2300 and wake up at 0500. We had masks off most of the time, except when going somewhere inside (e.g. EST, inprocessing/photos, or ASU fitting)
Very easy cycle. Someone with 2 article 15s graduated. Lots of people who were not in shape graduated. When one of my DS was dropping us off for AIT, I asked her why the cycle was so easy and she basically said that they had to push us through - unless you gave up or broke (someone got out because she had a dislocated shoulder and a profile that took her out for about 6 weeks) you graduated. She said the undisciplined soldiers would likely be out of the Army within a year.
When did you get drug tested before or after quarantine?
Leaving for Fort Jackson on Tuesday! Been watching your videos for a few months. Thanks for all the info/tips!
I had a normal BCT experience, however as soon as I got to AIT they put the whole battery in isolation, and stopped accepting new people for AIT (Graduated BCT just in time). We spent about a month and 1 week in isolation before they started accepting new people. Which wasn't too bad, everyone pretty much slept in all day and played video games.
One night during isolation the Sergeant on CQ came running up the stairs screaming telling everyone to get out of their rooms. Turns out three people ordered five large pizzas, three 2 liters, and bread sticks. He caught them running out the side door via cameras to grab the food.
Yeah those people got a UCMJ, 45 days extra duties, and phase 1 till they graduate AIT. Two of them ended up getting chaptered out of the army before they graduated for various other reasons that stacked. One did graduate, but the day after he graduated he stole $10 earrings from the exchange, then got put on more extra duty, then chaptered.
Thanks for the vid dude, I leave this weekend so I’ll make sure to come back and comment my experience when I get out for all the others who will want to join 🔥🔥🔥
At Reception right now at Fort Jackson! Ship out Monday to start BCT finally! I will update you all when I graduate in 10 weeks how BCT was for me here
Husband left same time you did in Fort Jackson. Good luck!
Good luck
I was at B 1-19. We didn’t do shark attack instead we did an event known as the “first hundred meters”. We didn’t do combatives, we only had one ACFT and one APFT. We had four weeks of red phase three weeks of white phase and 12 days of blue phase. We also did land nav in red phase. We got upu for breakfast and dinner and MRE’s for lunch. We only got to eat at the DFAC at reception. Also we didn’t get a warriors dinner after The Forge. No family day and no visitors during turning green. Instead it was live-streamed on Facebook. I was also at 30th AG for 18 days.
Always coming through with the clutch videos. I been working hard I hope my channel continues to grow up to your level.
The day before I left for my unit, we helped prep the replacement pickup process for new guys. They ran a short distance with sandbags and water cans, yelling and screaming at the new privates, ect. They even setup M240B(med machine guns) with blanks in the trees as they ran past and "shot them." Actually, it was kinda cool.
Heading to Ft. Jackson Nov. 3rd. Hoping things are closer to normal by then. Thanks Matt for the info.
Well I got my first asvab scheduled for October 2nd I’m glad I’m 15 so I have 3 years to improve my scores. Thanks for the info on the military Matt.
Happy Friday Matt!
I’m leaving for basic this Tuesday going to fort Jackson !!
Little bit of advice wait until COVID is over to go to BCT, there are entire companies having outbreaks including mine when I just went, the first time I got covid I did two weeks of quarantine and went onto training the second time I had gotten it a bit worse and they started looking for reasons to discharge, they discharged me on bad headaches(which is a symptom of COVID) or also considered migraines, after three months of being at BCT they discharged me no choice for me just told you’re getting medically discharged
Graduated August 6th from Fort Jackson. Delta 3-60th. Currently in AIT. To sum it up my experience
Masks all the time
No "real" shark attack. (Was like 10 minutes)
Normal "Hammer" FTX 1
Longer "Anvil" FTX 2
Shorter "Forge" FTX 3
Yellow phase for 2 weeks at the start so we really didn't have much discipline unless you actually listened and tried.
No combatives
No family day
Hot as hell with a mask on
Only time in dfac was the victory breakfast.
Gas chamber was changed so we had to leave our masks on until we were about to walk out the door.
Most of the video summed it up.
My Drills said this was the time to be in basic.
Easy as hell and still even a good amount of people left.
My company rucked everywhere while the others took buses.
Overall not a bad experience.
Basically strict summer camp
Edit: we also got to go to the beach because some kid thought it was a good idea to steal an entire box of MRE's
Ha went through that company a year ago and I saw DS Spurr is still there
Scouts Out?
Bro, Delta Co 3-60th!? Delta Dogs! What platoon?
@@justinsivilla1010 hellhounds 😉
I love low crawling through the beach 🙃
YOO MATT! I just got back from BCT June 1st to August 24th. I know you already went over things but to help people expect what will happen if people get covid here you go. We had 25 people in our company and 21 in our platoon test positive for covid so the commander sent us out In the field for the last 15 days of our training to utilize as our bay. We had the chance to do laundry and shower twice in this time
Bet y’all smelled great!
Leaving for BCT at Ft. Jackson in 17 days! Can’t wait for it!
Thank you for all of the videos and great info👍🏼🙏🏼
I leave this Tuesday to fort jackson
Leaving Monday. Yay me...
It's gonna be tough, but I could use the work.
@@shakurburton9358 good luck
Good luck guys!
@Luan G how was it??
I was a split ops soldier for the NG. So that being said; I went to BCT last summer (without Covid19 metigations) and I went to AIT this summer for 12 weeks wit Covid19 medigations. I saw other companies go through all the stages of BCT. It was far different from my BCT. I'd say it was far easier.
I leave for Fort Sill in 3 weeks. Your videos are sooo helpful thank you so much!
The 22nd right bc I leave to there too
Sebastian Gutierrez lol yep!
thanks for reading my comment, I was kind of joking about not learning how to fight, but yeah I was a bit bummed out by not getting to smack people around xD
Leaving for Fort Sill, Monday! You’re videos have helped a lot!

A few weeks ago I talked to a marine about it, the marines have been quarantined for 2 weeks before doing activities.
Thanks ma g appreciate the advices🤙
Would you be interested in doing a podcast on things like this especially when im driving 45 min to work and also enlisting active duty as well i could lessen to it while I'm driving cause it supper interesting
I second that ^
Currently at Benning, arrived on Jul 27th. Sat at 30th for 4 days. Moved to a quarantine unit were we only went outside or saw drill sergeants the 3 times we ate. After that moved to my training unit for 2 week and finished processing. Day before redphase began my bunk mate went to sick call next thing I know I'm being sent to Kelly hill. Been here 8 days. At 30th we ate at DEFAC. other than that delivered meals for breakfast and dinner, lunch was mres. Here at Kelly you get 3 boxed meals perday. Probability 3 weeks out from starting red phase
Just got back from Ft. Benning within the past week. Things were getting worse towards the end of the cycle with Covid. I was on sand hill and a part of B Co 1-19, multiple battalions had all their guys sleeping outside for awhile.
Most helpful person on CZcams
i went to FLW on may 11th. ended up in 2 companies because my first one got wiped out by covid (70ish cases lol). so along with controlled monitoring we also had to quarantine again almost right after for 3 weeks until everyone else tested negative. the rest of us who never got it then jumped into white phase with the company next door. skipped all of red phase and didnt do first aid/combatives/confidence course. essentially had 5 weeks of actual bct. no family day and had to take a “sterile flight” to my ait except they still made me quarantine again
Perfect timing on the video matt! I ship Tuesday for osut at Ft Lwood.
Ey I got OSUT too (74D)- (CBRN), I leave on Monday a day before you. What’s your MOS?

Good luck my dude!
Thank you!!
I'm currently at Fort Benning, in quarantine. I cant wait to tell story's about the covid basic training experience.
They let you have your phone the whole time I’m quarantine? I ship to Leonard wood tomorrow and I know it’s not the same at every base
@@macdaddymastin2866 so no, when you get there you loose your phone. If you get sick, covid, strep throat, flu, anything, you will be moved to a separate area, and will have all your personal stuff. Though I dont know if reception for you, if you will have your phone. Fort Benning locks your phone up.
Ghosted Warlock so everything in the video still is applied? At least for you?
@@macdaddymastin2866 pretty much.
Can you make a video on how to get to west point, I bet it would be pretty interesting for all the people thinking of becoming future officers.
I just graduated basic at Benning today, we had to quarantine for 3 weeks before reception, then did the first 100 yards. No combatives or gas chamber.
Going to BCT on October 5. Fort Jackson
I'm shipping out September 21st, so this was a really good idea & video. Thanks for this Matt, appreciate it.

@@ammiekellim6417 where to?
I ship off to Fort Leonard Wood on Sept 14th. I was originally going in April 14th but Covid changed everything. I'm told this experience is going to be very different compared to what it was. Wish me luck!
Same. Are you going MP?
Fort Jackson, just finished BCT and at AIT. No shark attack on pick up at BCT. However, we just had the **** smoked out of us arriving to AIT. It was our semi shark attack. 😂
If you are going to Ft Benning you will be there for at least 3 to 4 weeks. Before you start training it really sucks you have to eat outside they closed the DFAC
Matt if you want to do a video about OCS during Covid I could help, as we graduated last week. I’m sure the rest of class 502-20 could help as well.
Our son is there now, and yes it is hard, what does not sound good, is the chow halls are closed and they are eating MRE's. Reception is slow and frustrating, and they did get quarantined.
I just graduated not too long ago. It is a struggle but the MRE's are actually pretty good even if you are a picky eater. The hardest part is the ruck marches in my opinion
Yeah I got shark attacked big time. I held my duffel overhead for about 2 hours while everyone took turns looking for their duffel because we all picked up random bags. It seemed like a proper shark attack to me. The starvation was the worst for me. We never got enough to eat and I lost 38lbs.
I ship out September 15th and I’m hype
Graduated July 10th, i binge watched all your videos on basic so I could have an idea of how it would be like so I would be prepared,started off normal,we got a shark attack two times cause we had to merge with another battery
I'm going to basic in Fort Jackson this coming January so we'll see
see you there ... yea we’ll see
Well I guess I'm not missing too much. I've done basic camp which is like basic training only difference is that it's compressed and it's for SROTC. I went to Fort Knox Kentucky and did the gas chamber, pop up range, FTXs, Ruck marches. Only thing we didn't get to throw hand grenades and that was saved for Advance Camp. Yes, we had drill Sergeants as well getting smoked etc. Now I enlisted and it sucks to know I won't get to do combative training or buddy live fire.😕 I'm definitely getting robbed with my experience.
My SIT is currently in isolation. She made it through 2 weeks during controlled monitoring. Caught a ‘cold’ or something similar and asked to have her temp taken.
ISOLATED immediately! Test came back negative. Still isolated for 10+days! With all the covid positive trainees!!! No one has checked on her besides the testing center calling to ask about her symptoms. The rest of her group are still in the last week of reception, no quarantine! She has had her phone, is in a room alone, and completely lost on what will happen after.
She will most likely be recycled into another group coming out of CM into reception and then red phase!
I was apart of the basic training wave of covid just know it included a 2 week yellow phase where you just spent everyday inside the bay learning the values, general order, packing a ruck And chain of command and rank. You have to wear a mask every where and keep your distance. You won’t be able to leave your designated area and when it comes to graduation there will be no family days and trust me AIT doesn’t get better
Any advice for AIT?
I'm literally sitting in my AIT barracks rn at Leonardwood. Graduated BCT 2 days ago. We had 2 weeks of Controlled Monitoring quarantine, before reception, before haircuts, everything. After that, we went to the 43rd Reception BN and did all of our stuff. We had a shark attack and we did the whole shower drills and red phase stuff for like 3 days then they calmed down alot. Didnt do anything really hands on for First aid or for Radio operations or combatives. It kinda sucked tbh. But yeah that was my experience of COVID BCT
I'm at Lenonardwood right now, in Isolation at Harper... Been on post for 8 weeks... I've done yellow phase twice and red phase twice before all of D3-10 1st PLT tested positive...
At camp kelly right now at Benning
I went through January 2020. By February we knew we weren’t going to have a parents weekend. By March. Turning blue was stripped from us too! Couldn’t leave the battalion footprint. No weekend pases! BUT let me tell you! I’m in Ft. Carson! Totally worth the suck! Big Army is a lot better!
Husband is shipping out Nov. 10th so will sub and update you as I hear more info! 👍
I ship out Oct 5. This will be an interesting experience
I ship oct 5th too are you going to Fort Sill?
Just finished basic at Jackson yesterday, 1-34, Echo 4th, corona definitely changed almost changed everything. The defac is not the same, the gas chamber is not the same, the inspection is not the same, the forge cut down to 3 days, and Everytime the sgt maj walk by the drills have to wear face masks.
BCT from August 3-Nov 12. Got recycled from catching covid in red phase. Life was wild in BCT Covid
The morning leaving BCT was a Jimmy dean. The morning of OCS graduation was a MRE.
How was OCS affected by covid? I ship to basic soon with OCS right after and I haven't heard much about OCS
@@kjrbs same carl, whats your OCS date?

@@kjrbs ah okay, as of now all my dates are the same Oct 7 for basic Jan 11 for OCS
@@kjrbs Good luck!
When I got through reception, everything seemed like a mess. Yes I had no shark attack but there was a lot of training during the first two weeks of "Yellow Phase" We had PT WITH MASKS ON. Running with masks, doing exercise through the worst with masks. It was towards the beginning of White phase where we could finally take them off during PT, and while eating(of course). Every other time you would have your mask on and stay 6 feet away from another person when possible. The bunks were reversed so the person on the bottom bunk would be looking towards feet on each side of the bunk and there would be looking at feet above you if it was transparent. Some showers and sinks were taped off for the whole time to spread amongst eachother while conducting Personal hygiene. Even STALLS were tapped off and were not available to use. That was the most ridiculous part honestly. We did not wear our ASUs for graduation and the graduation was live-streamed. There was no family or "battle buddy" day.

Yeah so i got back this back Friday there was no SHARK ATTACK and at first we were confused they later explained why at the end of basic
I just graduated bct in Fort Jackson on the 2nd !!!
Watched the ceremony online. Congrats!

Been here for a month not even done processing get ready for a lot of waiting and confusion
Its pure hell
Aye same
Could you make a video on infantry or Cav scout OSUT training privileges you may get like is it like 26 weeks of constant basic training or do you get certain AIT Benefits like getting to chill at ur bunk or watch tv or have a console?
I graduated August 21st from benning. Wearing a mask everywhere was terrible. The only time you can take off the mask was during PT and rucks. We didn't have a shark attack but we had something similar and no combatives. No eating in the DFAC, MRE's for lunch every day. Social distancing everywhere. 2 and a hald weeks at 30th was awful because we just sat in the bay doing nothing. Im split opt so hopefully when I go back for infantry school covid will be gone haha
Just got back from basic at fort Leonard wood like 8 hours ago
Was it accurate to what was said in the video?
Conz yeah everything was accurate
Ice cold Joey what’s your MOS? Did you do MP OSUT? If so, can you describe how it was like?
Your sneaker collection is distracting me. In a good way. Thanks for inquiring about these changes and sharing the information!
That person said their are people stuck at the 43rd ag, reception at Ft. Leonardwood for weeks, not stuck their for 43 weeks.
But you should do what reporting to your unit will look like bc I'm curious
I PCSed to Bragg and they shortened in processing, and at the reception company for 2-3 days.
I’m at bct right now it’s not too bad
Are you in reception right now or actual basic training?
Leave Monday to Leonard wood
He wasn't saying they were stuck for 43 weeks... he was referring to the 43rd AG, which is the reception/WTRP battalion at Leonard Wood. Still sucks, though... the 43rd might have some chill Drills, but there's literally NOTHING to do, and they don't even allow holdovers who have graduated BCT their phones
30th AG was Terrible. but, to say the least. we got a running shark attack with both duffles and went straight to the rock pitt
Just got to AIT and I’ll tell ya, wearing that mask during pt sucked cause it absorbed sweat and made it hard to breathe. When it was raining outside during pt it was like getting water boarded
23 days to shipping!
Hey man how did it go?
Probably a stupid question but... When you get issued your m4 in basic is it used or brand new? Also if its new (as in youll be the first person to use the weapon) is that m4 issued during basic typically the same one youll be issued as your service weapon from there on out?
I literally just graduated from Fort Jackson! 🎶 COVID-19 ruined BCT for me! 🎶
How was it?
How long was it? Was it longer than usual? I’m very close to swearing in. What should i expect

At first you will hate yellow phase but near the middle of white phase you gonna wish you were back in yellow phase lol

Explains why a lot less disciplined soldiers are coming to AIT. They're being treated really good.
Be sure there are still soldiers are going to the AIT…it’s a kind of good thing
Not really lol

I go on 20200922 to fort still bc if we have to wear mask like during pt that will be so fucked honestly but cases have gone down in Oklahoma I think it’s not like California I’m sure also are we allowed to like run during the yellow phase like work on cardio?
Currently at reception in ft Jackson. Here for 2 weeks unless they keep us longer which is unfair because a lot of girls came at the same time and are being shipped today.
You’ll be kept inside bored most of the time after getting through processing. Make you clean and stand in formation for hours in the cold waiting.
Tip: bring a watch and exercise in your free time
Anybody else leave for basic on Oct 5th and going to Ft Leonard Wood?
I’m 16 almost 17 I plan on joining the army national guard but I have a mild case of Tourette’s that doesn’t affect my day to to life would that bar me from service?
How was your experience at basic training? My parents think that I don’t understand what it’ll be like and think it will be dangerous. I’ve been trying to tell them that from other people’s perspectives they thought It would be way worse than what they actually went through. To me it’s really how you make it for yourself, and I believe everyone’s experience can be different. Maybe if anyone can explain it better in the comments for me, that would help. Thanks in advance guys!
