Things have changed for the better since I was there in 87. They really try to teach the right way and the equipment looks the best. I think everyone should have to do this in one form or another in the United States.
Haven't left my house since I was 16. I'm now 20. Life is going by and I'm wasting it in my room. Thinking I should join just to have an adventure and experience what the world is like outside this town.
This is a lie to get people to join.. Basic is definitely more intense!! I'm not trying to discourage anyone!! Don't worry about basic you'll be fine! Do what you're told, get in, and get out..
Damn i hope so. This video makes BCT look kindergarten friendly. I would go for the USMC instead but i want to be in spec ops (SF is my goal but 1st i'm focusing on education & wrestling in high school then i'll worry about the ASVAB, BCT, AIT, Airbourne school, RASP & Ranger training, then SFAS & SF training)
The purpose of basic is to develop proficiency with weapons and other equipment and some degree of physical conditioning. It's purpose is not to gratify the egos of immature, chest-pounding bullies who pick on 17-year olds for amusement.
Oh, man. Never thought I'd get this many comments on a video, I guess thats just how many people have a strong love for our country's army. USA! USA! USA! USA!
11X Benning Aug 13th 2018 I know this vid is 5 years old. May they cut no slack on the infantry! just because of modern times, female integration, and relatively "peace" time. I'm hopeful they treat us with dignity in regards that they beat us to the dirt, and the strong rise as soldiers! not sugarcoat the whole thing making things easy.
Antonio Dill was one of my drill sergeants at Ft. Benning and that man was the best drill I ever had. Had him in basic and AIT. Really caring soldier for his boys that he was turning into men. I will always be a bravo Blackhawk and still miss the barracks I lived in. The starships they called them back then. Sure happy they tore down harmony church because that was the place we were going to go. Seen it before the demolition. If I could go back in time I still would have the same men that trained with me before. Just a bunch of good guy's. Damn I miss it
lol I lost it 0:52 when he said quick snack before you get some rest XD. When I in processed I didn't get any food and I surely didn't get but 30 mins of sleep before day 2 started
I went Army 11 bang bang and this is completely different from what I remember at Sam Hill. I'm guessing it's because of the recruitment video and also I joined in 2005 in the height of the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts. It was a "High Stress" cycle because we were expected to ship out soon as we got to our units (most of us did...). That 50 cal mark-19 course they showed they didn't have any ammo for us to shoot cause it was over seas, only 1 guy got to shoot an AT-4, and our Drill Sgts were ruthless as fuck.
oh yeah and i just read over his comment and he said “50 cal MK-19” and that ALL THE AMMO WAS OVERSEAS…..a fuckin mk19 is a grenade launcher. I hate people like this who lie. There is ALWAYS ammo during training. It may not be a lot sometimes but there is. Sometimes people dont get to shoot the AT4s but hes a full bullshitter
there is no good time to go.spring and summer will be hot and sweaty,lots of rain,miserable.winter time.ice sickles hanging off your helmet.hands so cold you cant feel them.cold feet,frost bite.cold ears.high ,cold wind that cuts like a knife.gust get it over with.
Why is it that I cant find a video for when I was in? Ft Benning bravo 1-19 Oct. 30, 2002 through Feb. 14, 2003. Captain Derek J Denny was my Company CO. DS Vaars, DS Blunt, DS Martinez. Were my drill sergeants.
+Brandon LeBoeuf maybe I'll see you I'll probs be the only dude there with two full sleeves of tattoos hopefully not don't want to be a easy target right away lol and I think I'm the only one from my RSP shipping off for 11bravo the others are 31bravos
+devin provencher I'm 6'1 pretty easy to spot as well, you should be good, I mean we'll be in long sleeves most of the time so you should be good, I heard that they split Active from Reserve and Guard, I don't know how true that is, but I'll more than likely see you there. also I've never heard of 31 Bravo. I'll look it up though.
I know for a fact, whne the army represents itself in a video, they.make it friendly. When I got out of basic, I had a video of my training that everyone was entitled to (purchase). And I must say they made major cuts and made it seem easy. Of my last phase (gold phase 11b) we got smoked everyday. I was they would have shown day zero. One heck of an entry for basic training.
Basic is funny to look back at now. I see new cats that were just like me all excited to go and I laugh cause I know what they are in for. It's something you have to experience yourself and when you do you will be frustrated trying to make your family and friends understand what its like, but you can't. It's just something that you have to experience.
Must be nice to go infantry! My eyes are 20/25 but the doctor MEPS sent me to said my eyes were correctable to 20/15. But they said said I still couldn't get in to 11x because my eyes currently are 20/25 blahhhh!....ah well Combat Engineer doesn't seem to bad I just watch these Infantry videos to see what I'm missing out on haha.
I went through Benning in the late 90's... This is making me laugh... recruitment lies. I don't know about other MOS's, but we got our asses kicked in ITB... and as far as their "great selection of food".. I had bratwurst almost every day for dinner the entire cycle. lol
Wondering what to expect in basic training and what to do to prepare? I explain it all in the two videos I just posted. Check them out, hope it helps. Comment on the videos with any questions!
I thought a ranger couldn't wear glasses, SSG Simpson Barber is wearing glasses and he's part of the 75th ranger regiment, it's shows him at 26:55 into the video.
I talk to a recruiter at the National Guard [I plan on doing school as well], and so far he hasn't shoo'd me away. He has sceduled me for an ASVAB and is being very helpful on getting me to MEPS. Maybe he hasn't noticed it cause I haven't mentioned it; I often forget I have a neck tattoo.
OK the last few posters seem to have slight fears of signing up to be 11B. My advice it when there is an fear that you have, just do what you need to do, don't think about it. Think that the man to the right and left to you are there too. Welcome to the Infantry. The best of the best. Be all you can be!
I was drafted in 1969 and sent to Ft Benning ..Sand Hill for Basic.On way to firing range in bus early in morning it turned over with all of us and weapons and everything flying everywhere.Dont know what ever happened to the driver.
Max Renauldo it was fun got to meet people that are like brothers to me now. Im actually going back on the 6th of next month i reclassed to bean infantrymen.
Foxtrot 1/50 3rd platoon deathrow, the best and worst time of my life, I hated it then loved it and still miss it. My suggestion is pay attention, do what your told, and if you can't understand what the drill sergeant is saying, just agree
bct was awesome I loved it what was the worst firegaurd anyone had mine was 10 man full battle every 30 min and I only had 40 guys in my platoon so the sleep schedule was fucked for a while
If you have a college degree, you can get in as two ranks higher than minimal. that's with an associates degree. if you have a bachelors & got it through military school & or rotc, you can get in as an officer.
Much Obliged you don't need an associate degree lmao. I'm a PV2 and in the future soldier program and I ship on June 11th 2018. I can promote by getting a friend to join and have them use me as a reference. You can also promote during basic. You can also promote by having ROTC in high school. 3 years will get you PFC before you ship at meps.
There is standardized training for Drill Sergeants at all 5 Drill Sergeants Academy's. So no matter where you go the training will be the same. Just listen, do what your told and DON'T ANTICIPATE THE COMMAND or INSTRUCTION.
"youll go to the chow hall after arriving for a quick bite to eat and some rest" ha bullshit in my reception we stayed up untill 2130 the next day because we got there so fucking late
Well I missed my ship date, I spooked my self out, my friends have been making fun of me for joining the army, and ive been confused about the MOS i choose - i wanted to be a paratrooper. I didnt start freaking out until someone told me once you sign up you cant leave, then i got all this reverse psychoology. I dont know whats happening now, i regret not showing up for my ship date,
You aren't technically awol. If you are a no show they will just shred your paperwork. Not condoning your actions but until you arrive and swear in you are not obligated to shit
Refuse to train if things get bad. Stay out of your barracks if you think you're in danger. If you don't train, they'll cut you loose with an entry level separation which has no effect on your civilian record.
No the US army accepts foreigners. But why the US military? I know the UK has a military. Wouldn't you want to serve your country? What makes you want to join the US military?
+Alex v I've been talking to some Army Recruiters and I decided to go the Army route. The comments I made was when I had that Marine Corps moto.... I'm glad I'm now out of that phase... Lmao!
I will try to become a soldier when i'm older and more fit because that's my dream and get enough strength to Protect my Family. By the way,I'm 12 tell me what age i should be to become a part of the army.
+Krypt0nit3 The earliest you can is at the age of 17 with parental sign off or 18 without it. Im doing the delayed entry program so im 17 in 12th grade and im going to basic 17 days after i graduate.
I liked the quote "its ok man you only die once"
Things have changed for the better since I was there in 87. They really try to teach the right way and the equipment looks the best. I think everyone should have to do this in one form or another in the United States.
My son is stationed here. ..making a man out of him. Miss him and can't wait to see him soon.

Don’t sweetheart, leave and look around… get a little job… the military will kill you…🤗🤗🤗🤗
7:53 you can tell this was definitely early 2000s by them excusing his hand tattoos

I just re-watched this video and realized that some of the parts are out of order. Sorry about that guys.

Jono86 I was in sand hill . echo 330th. it's Def not lax like this bullshit
it' the lack of sleep and food and having to workout all the time that makes it hard. Not the actual exercise .
Just don't be Jewish or Muslim, I got fucked over in Benning BCT. Total waste of time for me. Just my opinion.
God Bless these men and women of our armed forces. They are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea what you're talking about. Pulling fire guard is the most laidback duty you can get.
Can you be promoted during basic? I saw a few pfcs during the video and I was just curious
If you have a college degree, you can get in as two ranks higher than minimal. that's with an associates degree. if you have a bachelors & got it through military school & or rotc, you can get in as an officer.
Kayden Chang The National Guard also allows for rankups before basic
Much Obliged you don't need an associate degree lmao. I'm a PV2 and in the future soldier program and I ship on June 11th 2018. I can promote by getting a friend to join and have them use me as a reference. You can also promote during basic. You can also promote by having ROTC in high school. 3 years will get you PFC before you ship at meps.
Someone's last name in this video was Molnar. Wonder if he and I are related and it was at the part for the team course hmmmm
How did that dude at 7:54 get in with a tattoo on his hand?
they can be exposed as long as they are not offensive
this was early 2000s when a lot of soldiers were needed so they would give waivers for hand tattoos

Looks like you get to keep your personality in the army. I didn't make it through MC training but in there most people lose their self.
Is this video being shown to them at boot camp?? I thought this was like the recruiter's video.. the one you see at this office. damn..
Robert Herrera was it just me or did they receive guns on their second week of training? and started firing the first day they learned to aim.
my recruiter told me that if i dont like BCT i can leave is that right?
no, that is wrong. Going AWOL has severe consequences.
Well I missed my ship date, I spooked my self out, my friends have been making fun of me for joining the army, and ive been confused about the MOS i choose - i wanted to be a paratrooper. I didnt start freaking out until someone told me once you sign up you cant leave, then i got all this reverse psychoology. I dont know whats happening now, i regret not showing up for my ship date,
have you spoken to your recruiter or CO?
You aren't technically awol. If you are a no show they will just shred your paperwork. Not condoning your actions but until you arrive and swear in you are not obligated to shit
Refuse to train if things get bad. Stay out of your barracks if you think you're in danger. If you don't train, they'll cut you loose with an entry level separation which has no effect on your civilian record.
April 21 is my ship date!
Well how was it
Yeah how was it
They just got new stricter rules on it. But don't give up! Talk to multiple recruiters and show them this is what you want!
This isn't Benning is it? I don't recognize anything
I'm 14 and it's already my desire to serve in USA army however I'm British am I still allowed when I'm older?
