Every Uniform In An Army Drill Sergeant's Bag | Loadout | Business Insider
This may sound absolutely wild, but I served with this kid when he was stationed at fort hood in 2019. We were both attached to the 62nd ESB and served as color guard for the battalion on a number of occasions. Very outstanding soldier and a great mentor. I'm glad to see that he's been able to advance in the Army.
Bro him and I were at basic together in fort jackson
@@eastleebase11 And now he out there settin it straight for the privates lmao. Good on him. Someone has to stomach being a drill sergeant. I don't think there are many more professional soldiers who would fulfill that role. Even as an E4, McLean still carried himself like an NCO and was an upstanding soldier no matter the situation.
no way, this was my drill sergeant in basic. awesome person, passionate about his job.
Small world, eh.
@@eastleebase11 we’re you that 7 year specialist who was always on profile and always had an appointment until you were RCPd?….
I forgot all of my teachers names in high school, but I never forgot my drill sergeants name 20 years later.
Lol same here
😂
This is so true !!!!!
I thought I was the only one. Lol I still here their voices in my sleep 16 years later
Let’s hear it. Who were they?
I see you young bull. Outstanding Drill Sergeant i had the honor to meet you a few months ago at DS School. Thank you for the hospitality and tour of the academy. Stay blessed salute 🫡 MSG Simp.
lookin to invite this bull to meet your misses?
"MSG Simp" indeed lol
Simp? Whahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
DS McLean is the kind of soldier who perfectly encapsulates both the professionalism and vigor that come with non-commissioned officership and leadership. Straight lace and articulate. It's damned cool that when I knew this soldier, we were both members of the e4 mafia. I got out and he got promoted. That's how it goes.
What a pathetic cuck
I went through MP Basic Training and AIT at Ft. McClellan, Alabama in 1984 and I still remember every drill sergeant in my company nearly 40 years later. For better or worse, these guys do leave a lifetime lasting impression on new recruits. To this day, I still remember bumping into a drill sgt who unexpectedly emerged from a stairwell while we were running to the mess hall for dinner on the second day of basic training. Even though I clearly had the right of way, I still vividly remember doing pushups while my whole company ran past me in the front leaning rest position (which I never found to be a restful position to be quite honest).
Same here but in 1977. We in fact were the very first male troops to go through basic and AIT there. Now we learn we were all poisoned by the government there as well as exposed to radiation on purpose. Been battling health issues all my life ever since. But good luck getting any compensation. There are some very powerful people who invested heavily in the real-estate that McClellan provided in the city of Aniston, who don't want vets to be recognized as being contaminated there. Even though it was classified as a super fund site. Well such is life I guess !
Perhaps you just had a bad attitude about it. My D.I. made me stand outside his office and hold the wall up to keep it falling in on him for about 5 hours one morning while everyone else was out on pass.Then he made me turn over stones to keep them from getting sun burned for another 3 hours. just because I told him I thought he was cute. this was 1977 LOL
Much respect to you Drill. Never went Drill was too busy with Afghanistan and Iraq. I wanted to. The professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding in this video. I just retired last year. Not being a Drill and not doing airborne are my biggest regrets. Good luck to you.
Surely you did enough, sir.
Thank you for your service brother, you know, there’s always time. You’ll get another chance at going airborne
Nice video. My basic was in 93. My Senior Drill sgt was a Ranger who had gold airborne wings from Granada. He defined who a Drill Sgt should be. My first Duty station was Ft.Benning. I worked weekly with the Drill Sgts at the ASP. Was fun giving the Drill Sgts a hard time when they picked up ammo 😂
I’m 20 and in the past year I decided to go infantry. My dad was in Grenada but he was 82nd airborne. He was 3/325 Charlie co. He was a 11C.
In went to drill in 91 fort Lewis. My senior drill was special forces and had a big scare on his jaw.
was your SDS Sgt Panteloglous
@@rc6879 . His name was SSG Musclewhite
@@WyattPotter Outstanding!
Ft. Bliss, 80's my Senior Drill was named McLean. (Never, ever, will I forget that man!) Serious respect, both for him and this young man.
Do this for USMC
@@trulykustom nobody cares.
I just want to play frisbee with that hat.
The forbidden Frisbee
I have had a drill sergeant do this down the isle of a room that the class was sitting in. It came flying in and hit a board in the front and then you heard the class yell at-ease as he walked
I see you woke up and chose violence then
You should definitely join the Army and do that. DSs love it when Privates play frisbee with their hats. Hell, they'll even play with you, especially in red phase.
@@TheEnigmaticOpaque once for each phase red white blue gold especially in Benning they will appreciate it
That DS hat commands both respect and utter fear out of me. I remember back when I went to BCT at Fort Jackson, after graduation we had family and my mother drove my brother and I to the museum on base and one the mannequins in there on display was wearing a DS uniform and I almost went to parade rest. My stay there was an experience that I won't and don't want to forget despite the tough times
The DS hat always scared all the new trainees coming in too, especially because all the DS kept trying to make them pick up their hats or touch them for fun.
Lol mine never pulled that trick but they would always pull reverse psychology on us ig is the right phrase. My buddy was in the office with them for something related to his medicine and one told him to get out now and the other told him to stay bc they weren't done with him. They pulled A LOT of those type of games with us lmao
Oh shit! My boy made it onto CZcams!!
Congrats McLean, I remember the days when we would scream out Charlie Rock together, crazy how far you've made it brother 🤙🏽
Jackson 2-13??
Nah I met McLean in AIT C co 369. Boot camp I was at Jackson E co 3-13
My DS looked just like you!! I swear on everything. That man changed my life and pushed me beyond my imagination. Went to OSUT in sand hill back in 2012. An experience everyone needs.
he was at jackson
DS Mclean !!!!!!! top 3 fav basic drills when i went was a awesome drill
That's one of my DS!!! This is dope asf, definitely a great DS and overall leader.
Great that you got taught by the DS of the Year.
I was a Senior Drill Sergeant in the early '80s. It was the old BDUs/Black Boot Army!!!! We spent a lot of time spit shining our boots!! Toes and heels shined to the hilt!!!! Look good coming and going!!!! PROUD to have worn THE HAT!!!!!!!! HOOAH!!!!!!!!
My mans made it to CZcams. This is a Solid guy in person congrats for him being the face of the standard and the pack he leads. Congrats mane. Keep going.
It's been 17 years since I've been out of the Army. That round brown still scares me to the core.
Personally, I would have preferred if the Staff Sargent yelled at us the entire time.
You need a Marine Drill instructor for that.
@@yusdesoto3975 no, we do it too. We're just not allowed to curse at them anymore.
@@yusdesoto3975 clearly you've never served lmao
@@danawhitesneckfat1706 It's a commonly known fact that Marine DIs are much more brutal than a DS in the army.
@@Bryan-fd7ky according to who? Lmao
Instructive to properly wear the pinks and greens.. thank you DSL. Although I know DS say not to thank them, but thank our recruiter.
I remember one time my platoon discovered one guy had a kill list, our senior drill sergeant was on that list. All my drills had been in real combat, all had at least one confirmed kill. My senior drill was no exception. He scared that said private straight out of the army lmao
Y'all should have killed them so they didn't hurt anyone else
All had one confirmed kill…you’re so gullible. There are no confirmed kills. This ain’t a video game.
@@ironpatriot344 wdym, confirmed kill means a kill that has been confirmed to have happened, it’s not just a video game thing
@@ithankyou5903 the army doesn’t “confirm” kills. There’s not organization/mos that does that and why would it even be important? It’s not a thing.
@@ironpatriot344 "A confirmed Kill is a kill that has been witnessed or verified in some manner. Be it a sniper spotter, other soldiers, video footage, etc." We confirm kills to be sure whether they happened or not. There isn't an organization that confirms kills but it happens through footage, other bystanders who witnessed it and can confirm it, etc. Unconfirmed kills are kills that can't be verified. It is a thing and it has it's purpose.
The most important item in a DS/DI's arsenal is the DS Hat. It is important to sharpen and flatten the brim daily as to keep an effective lethal range of 25-40 meters at all times incase a trainee tries to run away from free PT
So proud of you Devante! ❤
Staff Sgt. Devante McLean, Thank You Sir for Your Service!
I was on the trail in 90-92 Ft, Dix, NJ it was the best time in my life...I'm retired now and can say I can still fit in my uniform 30 years later!
DSL...Army really works on those acronyms. Love, love, love the reflective vest....very sheek...
I remembered I got my @ss smoked for putting my DS's hat on during Infantry BST. Had me on my belly on my back all the way up half way down 😓😂😂😂
I see those flat brimmed hats and instantly know the guy wearing it is a machine!
Such a striking uniform and definitely fit for purpose given their role!!
My god those new dress greens look sharp. That belt is what does it. It's nice to the army is getting uniforms to distinguish them. When I got out they were just starting to get those blue uniforms, but I never really liked them.
It’s crazy to see Drill instructors without combat patches. I got out in 2010 I didn’t think I was that old! 😩
I got out in 2012
The mission has changed since then. Less combat deployments
This dude made this video unnecessarily informative and I think we can all appreciate that
When I first saw the thumbnail for this video for a split second I thought it was my old Drill Sergeant from 2011. He bears an almost scary resemblance to him. My training company had four platoons. A total of 8 drill sergeants and to this day I can remember all of their names. The two female drill sergeants that were in the company were quite possibly the scariest NCOs I ever met during my Army career.
I’ve honestly never heard a drill sergeant with such a smooth voice. Def not yelling enough😂
Holy fing shit! ds McLean was one of my drills in basic! Aco 313, fall of 2020! glad to see he made ssg
@Roy Grosser you still in, Roy🤔
Bruh how do y’all even remember your company’s and drills from basic?
I can’t even remember the names of mine more my company and I graduated basic in 2015 lol
DS of the year squared away and high speed. You the freaking standard about time someone be the standard and deserves it. I looked up to you at the DSA
just him explaining this has me paying huge attention. very commanding individual
Air Force guy here, the new pinks and greens look outstanding. I hope the Air Force switches into something more WWII-esque, I dislike the current blues a lot.
The AF already copied the Army’s Combat Uniforms already… Let’s not forget, the Air Force didn’t exist until 1947. WW2 we had the ARMY Air Forces USAAF. Want the Army Uniform, join the Army. Haha!
Those uniforms look sharp.
This was actually one of my Drills back in 2020.
Airborne wings. Always good to see. Well done, sir.
Sales of Kiwi black shoe polish must have taken a nose dive when the Coyote Brown combat boot became the one and only. Nobody got time to shine boots!
You can’t even shine the Coyote brown boots…
@@FPSKillstreak that’s his point numb nuts
I went to bct right by here. Our company did pt everyday right in front of the drill sergeant academy. One day we got to do 60-120s sprints around the track at the drill sergeant academy. That was five years ago almost
This might be crazy, but during my time at basic he just became my drill sergeant towards the end of the cycle
This Man was My First Friend in Life he was at My Birthday, on November 16th 1994 Wednesday.😀
I remember wanting to be a drill sergeant so bad when I went through basic
Ya'll were great instructors at the academy. When ya'll were there! DSOY! Have a great year and wish you the best.
Still have vivid memories of Drill Sergeants at Ft Benning,GA. 1981
Is it just me or did the pinks & greens uniform not have any pink in it?
It's a reference to the original (WWII era) color of the undershirt, which was pinkish in color.
In person it has a pinkish tint to it.
I get that drill sergeants have to show trainees what all the badges and awards look like and how they should go on a uniform. That being said, the best NCOs I have met/ served under so far do not flex their awards, ribbons, and/or schools. In the real Army you do your schools, get your awards and Charlie Mike it to the next mission.
This. One of my team leaders was quad stacked (EIB, Airborne, Air Assault, Pathfinder) & didn't wear any of them.
I think you should wear whatever you earn. It will inspire other people to go to those schools and better themselves. I get schools aren't everything but you should be proud of everything you earn.
Wear it of you earned it
You can wear the badges you earned without being boastful of them.
Highly possible the interviewer asked him what the awards and patches meant. He was very courteous with his answers and I don’t feel he was flexing
Now THIS, is epic.
My senior drill sgt was 5’3 so when he was yelling at you, you were looking clear over his head, hat included
waiting until Business Insider uploads a video about all Marine Corps uniforms
They'll probably make it a mini series...
The hat press is one of those things that sounds so obvious once you learn about it but never crossed your mind.
The pinks and greens look good but when I was in we had the dress greens in both summer and winter weights along with the light green dress shirts in both short and long sleeves. And then for formal activities not warranting dress blues we were authorized white long sleeve shirts with black bow ties
Thank you for your service
so we just doing drip checks wit ds’s now?
He did good. Give him an award or promotion
doing good is the basic
doing your job correctly should not make you have a promotion or award, this as to be considered as the most normal thing to handle.
@@marcelsinky1652 you sound like a hater lol
@@mikedc He sounds like rational thinking. Promoting for mediocrity and just doing the basics creates shitty leadership in the future who won’t go above and beyond for the people below them
@@ethangilliam2739 your comment didnt make any sense. Your first sentence tells me you are stupid. Read your comment....how can someone sound like rational thinking?

Staff sergeant looked sharp and ready with those uniforms
He reminds me of that drill sergeant from forest gump! Gump!!!!! Why did you put that weapon so quickly Gump??!!!
That's crazy he was my Drill Sargent a year ago
Him and I were in basic training together
@@eastleebase11 when did you go through basic together?
@@fastkarr8256 we arrived just before new years day in 2015 week 0 then. Then week 1 was first week of january 2016
DSOY!!! DSL McLean holding it down! 🤙🏽
They really updated the pt field. When I was there it was mostly rocks and dirt with some patches of grass.
US drill sergeant hat, australian slouch hat and gurkha hats are probably the greatest wide-brimmed military hats ever.
Especially the slanting Gorkha hats look awesome
It's weird seeing Drill Sergeants without any combat experience. All my Drill Sergeants were war veterans.
Different time you know
E6 prob 9-10 years. Can see a lot of guys without combat experience. My basic was in 93. Served under the last of the 25 year Vietnam vets. Had a few Granada and Panama vets most were Desert storm and Somalia.
I'm a staff sergeant and I've volunteered for deployments but no joy. It's just luck of the draw I guess, and with the lack of deployments you're gonna start seeing a lot of people without the deployment patch.
@@murasakiiro447 Iraq drawdown was 2009/10, Afghanistan was 2012/13. Entirely plausible to not be deployed for the last 10 years.
He was one of my drill Sgt’s in 2020
Never seen a drill sergeant wear a belt
My father is a Drill SGT. I would always look at his hat press as a kid lol
Did he ever apply his work skills in parenting?
@@egekazkayas8968 never, he was very calm & wasn’t a yeller.
You can tell he’s proud of what he’s accomplished
Slick sleeve DS? wow I have never seen that, is that common now?
Yes. Most DS are about 6-8 years of service…
He said Standard issue combat boots and pulls out the Oakley’s
I just graduated today from Fort Jackson and my place I stayed at is across the street from the Drill Sargent Academy.
you are sharper than a katana in that uniform!!! thank you for everything you do for this country!
I could imagine gunnery sgt Hartmann will PT my ass until I died if I ever frisbee that hat
@sylki (content creation) are jelly donuts allowed to be used as frisbees private silky
Bro, pretty sure OCP stands for Operational Camouflage Pattern.
DS stephenson he was one of my drills from basic delta 1-19 third platoon reapers with DS sanderson and SDS Aqui crazy to see him as a instructor at the academy
Man that astroturf looks good, when I was there we just had good ole grass!!!
Never seen them with the belt on their OCP. And I've been to training
I noticed that too. Is that new or did I really not pay attention to that when I went thru basic training???
Could be for the drill sergeant school instructors
@@Idekwhattocallthis maybe
It's just for the drill sergeant academy instructors.
chaplains are supposed apply there legitimate chapstick on lips on a regular basis.
Woooah! Drill Sergeant hat with no brim!
Hell yea McLean! Keep it pushin battle!
God Bless America 🇺🇸
Venezuela, in America continent thank you !
Looks a bit silly to me to wear all your awards and certifications... How would it look if my dentist did the same thing. If you must see it at all times, just hang it on the wall. 😄
Zero sense
It’s only for ceremonial purposes on the Dress unis. Its purpose is to display why you are in the position that you are. It allows people to admire what you’ve done to achieve your position in the Army

It's possible to hate and love a person at the same time.
I want to learn more about the Army’s Service and Dress uniforms I never seen a soldier wear them in person.
No blue cord means you are a NO GO at your station 😂😂
Thank you 🙏🏾
Very interesting stuff. Thankyou for sharing . How does the army ( all military?) Classify a boot vs. a shoe?
I assume it has to do with the height of the shoe/boot, as well as the tread. Shoes end below the ankle and generally have a smooth or light tread, boots extend above the ankle or to the bottom of the calf and have a more substantial tread.
damn, a drill sgt without a deployment patch. yikes....
I'm an infantry ssg joined in 2013 and haven't deployed. It's just luck of the draw I guess.
The military can save a fortune by just giving them one uniform.
Well they got one uniform, everything else is clothes used in just spesial stuff, like one for formal situations the other is just for PT, the PT one is impotent since, one it’s more comfortable wearing that when doing PT and it’s better since it’s much better to sweat in PT clothes, and the last one is combat uniform the uniform that can be used in combat and in non combat.
Makes zero sense
@@nyancatbeatcreature.3782 every set of clothes IS a uniform that has its own requirements.
@@RC-ns6eh Do they really need a dress uniform to perform their duties?
@@theotheleo6830 It’s for ceremonies
I went to this class and Im in 3:12 the kid that takes a knee on the left🙌🏽. Vanguard 5-2 “WAR PIGS”!!!
nice boots better than what i had in the 90's!
70s to the 90s it was all black boots with the bdu uniform back then.
We just started to modify the Black combat boots with Vibram soles. I wore the Vietnam green and black boots at times. They were not authorized.. (90s)

Our Drill Sergeants need to get some “Bass and gravel” in their Voices !!!
lol and Russia can't even get one set of uniform for their army.
the belts look dumb tbh
Nobody wore that while I was in
I went to basic in 1987 and I remember my drill's names like yesterday. Drill Sgt. Rhoton, Drill Sgt. Smith, and Drill Sgt. Merced. But I can't remember 99% of my high school teachers and classmates
Great wearing
hands up if you don't care
If u don't care why did you click on the video then? Is there any thought process inside that coconut head of yours?
