  • This is a day in the life of a U.S Army soldier where I go to my first real field training exercise or FTX in my Army career. (even though this is more like a week) In basic training and AIT, going to the field or doing FTX's may seem intimidating but it really isn't that bad. As always if you liked the video, like it, subscribe if you're new, and comment any questions below!

      The field wouldn't be so bad if 1) we were actually training for deployment and that means actually being in at least a simulated desert environment if not NTC in California. And not this jungle training non sense that makes it looks like we're training for vietnam 50-60 years ago
      2) we at least had a shower every few days to clean the shit from our asses properly
      3) we didn't have to stay too damn long and if we did have to stay more than a few weeks, we should at least get paid for it.
      The field is one of the many things that will make you wish you had joined the air force instead of the army.
