SORRY THE SOUND IS VERY LOW...!!! Fort Jackson Basic Training if you have any questions feel free to ask me and ill try to answer them as quickly as possible. FOLLOW ME ON Twitter: @michaiah3 Instagram: @Mermaidd3
This is probably one of the better videos I have seen. Usually people are complaining and bitching about everything. I mean come on your joining the military not the lollipop gang so it is going to be difficult the vast majority of the time, you just have to remember why you joined and get your mind right and that will get you through. Your military experience will be what you make it and if your negative all the time you will hate it. Thanks for the video that boosted my moral and I will be going to basic in a couple of months as well. :-)
If you don't mind could you please email me, I'm also a mom looking to join the army, I know you haven't joined as yet but I have questions that only another military mom would be able to answer. Nikyciab@gmail.com Thanks
0 week was the worst part of basic because of how boring it was. You just sit there, try not to fall asleep and get your paper work done. Oh and some advice for those of you going to basic soon, if you can...volunteer to be your bay boss. The bay boss makes the fire guard roster. I did it (I didn't volunteer to do it, I was made) and I would use that to my advantage to work deals. Cough drops are like gold!
Also, I really appreciate your videos about BCT and AIT. They're really helpful and motivating! You really made me more excited and ready for the experience and glad I'm going to Ft. Jackson.
You'll love it. I did my basic at Fort Jackson. If it's going to be your first time away from home, just remember that time will start going by quickly once you get into your routine. Oh.....and have fun crawling in the red clay mud, lol.
did they ever make you girls sleep outside as a punishment ? I remember the girls at my barracks had to all sleep outside a bunch of times because they kept telling the DS bad things other girls were doing lol
Loved your video. My question is how long do they typically give the girls to shower? I'm leaving in 10 days to Ft. Jackson & I am concerned about the showers because I have long ass hair to my butt. I really don't wanna cut it & I'm a pro at having it in a bun lol. I'm just curious to know since my hair gets into a lot of knots and if I will have time to comb/brush it out before putting it into a bun. Unless they let you sleep with your hair down?
***** well when i went to fort jackson i didn't shower in the morning. i showered at night. that is when everyone does. they tell you to take your showers within ten minutes but i just took my showers after last formation and before bed check. they give you about two hours or so for all the girls to take their shower and get ready for bed. i have hair down to my butt and when i was in fort jackson i know this might sound gross but you don't really have time to brush it unless you do it while everyone is sleeping so i brushed my hair out on the weekends. because on Sundays and Saturdays you get free time while everyone is at church.
I leave for fort Jackson on 7/28, I was wondering how many times did they give you your phone back to make calls? I know my brother went to Leonard wood and he got it back almost every week
yes unless you want them to dye it for you. If you don't dye your hair before its not a big deal. Its just that if they notice its out of regulation then you will get it dyed the day you go to the px.
Tay Hill the only advice i can give you is make sure you are ready. :) it isn't easy. but you can do it. and the DS are not always yelling at you they are also there to teach you and mentor you. there is a point in time when they are yelling and screaming but there is also a time where they teach you things you will use through out your career. honestly its fun. and you will get used to the yelling after a while. you can do it.

TheFizzMic Oh okay thanks for the info I appreciate it. I'll probably just cut the ends off since they cause most of the knots.
+TheFizzMic Can you give me some tips or tricks on the paragraph comprehension and word knowledge of the asvab please
During basic training did you have to do a 2 mile run?
you deserve more subs
I'm going this summer and my god your beautiful
When did you go because I go in 10 days and I was wondering if it was going to be really hot there
We went to basic together. 3-13. Hoah. Nice vids. Check out mine not as good as yours though.
I leave in may to fort jackson and let me tell you i am very nervous! 😳
I'm headed to Fort Jackson on May 2. Don't worry about it, if you've been training you'll be fine.

They write to you first.
oh ok thank you
God bless you all
I leave for fort Jackson on 7/28, I was wondering how many times did they give you your phone back to make calls? I know my brother went to Leonard wood and he got it back almost every week
I leave Tuesday too. See you there
You're leaving on my birthday my brothers best friend is leaving on January 5
+Brianna Gibbs you will get your phone back every time you phase up. you can make a 10 minute phone call thats it.
Probably an awkward question but do they allow you to have shavers during BCT?
razors yes
Where are u stationed
Should I dye my hair one color before I ship out? I have hilites as well.
yes unless you want them to dye it for you. If you don't dye your hair before its not a big deal. Its just that if they notice its out of regulation then you will get it dyed the day you go to the px.
Did you get to shave?
chonglovescheech yes.!!!
they made you dye your hair? wth

Do you have to take another drug test when you get there?
I didn't get tested in basic but had one random one in AIT
+jordan12370 most likely they will make you take another one.
were there any prior service there?
+LyndonYRB yes
I heard they get treated differently than the first timers is that really true?
yes. if you are prior service and of higher rank (e4, e5) dont let anyone know. Drill sgt's will scope you out and give you shit.
+Justin Garrigan Just came back it was nice ^_^
"how not to act after you come back from basic"
Whatever
AD or reserves

Tay Hill Active
What Advice Can U Give Me I Leave In 20 Days
Tay Hill the only advice i can give you is make sure you are ready. :) it isn't easy. but you can do it. and the DS are not always yelling at you they are also there to teach you and mentor you. there is a point in time when they are yelling and screaming but there is also a time where they teach you things you will use through out your career. honestly its fun. and you will get used to the yelling after a while. you can do it.
Thank You For Your Advice
