    For anyone that may be headed to basic training soon... you'll be completely fine. I went in 2015 and loved it. The drill sgts will yell, scream and even seem intimidating but I can assure you they have your best interests in mind. Just follow direction and think about the end goal. COMPLETING BASIC TRAINING. Making your loved ones proud. Finishing something alot of people either couldn't handle or was afraid to attempt completely. It's more than rewarding once you complete it and like everyone says, it's probably the hardest part of joining the military. But, as long as you treat others as you want to be treated and show respect to your superiors and fellow battle buddies(peers)... it will be a one of the easiest accomplishments of your life. Goodluck to you all!!!

      i remember joining cadets last year (in my country you can join as soon as you start secondary school) and i loved it but every time i told one of my family members they would shame me for joining because it's a 'boy thing' and 'girls aren't supposed to do that' (so i dropped out but my head Sargent begged me to stay she would always try to motivate me but the bullying was too much from family and friends) and seeing this comment it gave me motivation to join recruit training when i turn 17 (we aren't allowed to rejoin cadets) thank you for bringing me the motivation i needed ❤

    I was drafted into the Army in 1968 during the Vietnam war. NOBODY failed basic training during that period, the Drill Sergeants “fixed” it to make sure everybody graduated basic training. I actually saw a drill sergeant fire a trainee’s weapon for him so he could qualify & pass the firing range test so he could graduate. Uncle Sam needed body counts in the ‘Nam!

      Also, people act like just because we are in a different platoon, we are not equal, we are not a team, not in the ARMY together, etc. As if like we are enemies or a stranger or something and we are like enemies or some sh*t just because we are not in the same platoon, so stupid!😂.

But I found that no matter how much I hated it at times, time kept moving regardless and every second I was a second closer to graduation day and getting my blue cord. It is physically demanding but to anyone getting ready to ship, prepare yourself, more physically and emotionally than mentally nowadays but as long as you just don’t quit and do what you’re told with a purpose and you’ll be fine. Don’t just learn from your mistakes, learn from everyone’s bc for a while, everyone will be punished for one person’s misconduct. And most of all good luck.

    For those that are getting ready to get shipped to BS, here’s some friendly advice:
    Be ready to run…ALOT. Start running a lot so you can get used to it because that’s all you’re going to be doing
    Know how to do a push-up. You’re going to get smoked, ALOT for dumb/petty shit. Even if you’re doing the right thing you’re still doing the wrong thing. Get ready for the words “HALF RIGHT FACED, FRONT LEANING REST POSITION MOVE”.
    If you love eating a lot, you won’t be eating that much. Be prepared to have little to know food and be expected to function almost 16+ hours.
    Have the proper mindset. If you’re a soft person or don’t know what perseverance is then don’t join. Have the patience to not lose your temper or yourself in the worst of situations. You’re going to be tested a lot of times but DS are trying to braking you and build you into the Man/Women I know you can become.
    Find something or someone important to you and use as motivation. There were many days I wanted to quit but remember what I was doing this for and just pushed through it
    Make friends. Having battle buddies to lean on speak to makes a world of a difference. I can’t count how many times my old battle buddies and I used to sit down on a Sunday morning and talk about how we missed fast food restaurants and what we’re going to do after basic training
    Most important just survive. There’s going to be some fun moments in BS. Just understand that this isn’t the end but the beginning to a better life.

      My OSUT was at Benning a little over a decade ago. Up there on top of motivation hill ( Echo 1-50) where there are no eyes to really see what is going on, you would get some pretty unique corrective training. Anyone who thought drills weren't allowed to scream or swear or put hands on you, got a pretty rude awakening because what happens in the bay, stays in the bay.

      @@notschramm3461 When I went through "relaxing Jackson" (which may not be as intense at Ft Benning, but it's still an Army basic training, not Navy or Air Force) in October 2017, on Day Zero in my platoon, a female was crying in formation. One of the drill sergeants of our platoon (who I think was the meanest of the 12 drill sergeants we had in the company) just went up to her and, loud enough for the rest of her to hear, told her "shut the fuck up."
      Before shipping, I heard drill sergeants no longer cuss because of how "soft" the new generation is (which is bullshit, EVERY GENERATION talks shit about the next generation), but that was proven wrong before Day Zero when I was in reception and heard a drill sergeant tell some recruits "I could fuck you guys up for the next four hours"
      This was while the civilian photographers were at each of the four platoons in the company taking pictures.
      For the most part, we didn't have drill sergeants putting their hands on us, although I had one drill sergeant (one of the other two of my platoon) grab my jacket when he got upset at me for telling him I was on the wrong number lane after buddy team live fire.
      Screaming is obviously something that's going to stay around forever in any military basic training.Even Coast Guard drill instructors (whatever they call them) scream (maybe not quite like Marine or Army, but still). So that's no surprise.

Got stationed at Fort Stewart GA, served in Desert Storm with my buddies which was cool……I’m retired now, but I will say that joining the military was the best decision I made after high school graduation.
    Yea, basic training is mostly mental and if your thinking of joining the military and your not much in shape it’s best to start running a lot to build up your wind and lung stamina, your gonna be running ALOT and EVERYWHERE but it’ll help you make the transition easier getting in shape during the PT regiment you’ll experience.
    Best believe there’s gonna plenty times you’ll want to quit but don’t give up and don’t give the people who said “your gonna fail” the satisfaction of being proven right, use it as motivation to keep going and make it to graduation where you’ll have the last laugh.

    I would love to visit Ft Jackson again and see the changes. I went thru in 1989 and TRADOC schools were under some different guidelines. The best advice is to keep your mouth shut and speak only when spoken to. Do what your told to do and smile, even if you want to beat the DS asses. The time will go by quick-

    It's changed since I went through 43 years ago. I knew they eliminated the shark attack,. The Army still put the DI and stress factor into it that had to be from lesson learned from the past

    Was there 10 years ago and this is drastically different, not a bad thing its just the way the world is now whether you agree with it or not. I just know there wasn't a so called "team building exercise" when I showed up hahahaha.

    I was talking with some guys here at AIT that went to Jackson for Basic, I noticed that their NIC training is in sand, here at FT Sill, it was gravel, my knees and elbows still have scabs and scars 😂

      If you're a US citizen, just call a recruiter.
      If you're not, get a green card, which will let you enlist. Enlistment does not guarantee citizenship, but it sure can't hurt.

    I was a holdover in fort Leonard wood during reception for a month and the most fun I had was walking back to the barracks and chow hall
