- Once you’ve decided to join the National Guard, passed the eligibility requirements, and taken the oath, the next step on your journey from civilian to Soldier is Basic Combat Training (BCT). Check out this video for an in-depth look at what it takes to serve in the #MANationalGuard and download our app for the full Basic Training Survival Guide! www.MANationalGuard.net
Great advices: 1.) avoid creating unwanted attention. 2.) observe everything around. 3.) be a team player. 4.) Don't quit / Never give up.

I want to see how I do in the army National guard
@@DB-ig2lsSomething tells me you aren’t old enough to join yet.
Very nice. Gotta say during my time in basic I mastered number one. When my time came to get my wisdom teeth pulled my RDC’s looked at the list saw my name and were like “who the fuck is this guy?”. Even though I’d had individual interactions with each one of them.
Just look left and right and you will be fine.

“How are you here and can’t do a push-up” LMAOOO
😂😂😂😂😂
True though
“41!”

This video brings back memories. I spent 22 yrs as a U.S. Soldier. Retired at 39. I was only 17 when I graduated basic at FT. Leonardwood. (AKA. FT lost in the woods)
Wow that's a long time
Im getting sent there in a few months
@somegamerkid2619 I hear it's very different now. When I was in leaonardwood, they could still hit us, and we had no communication with our loved ones the whole 9 weeks we were there. Not even letters. And I graduated basic when I was still 17. Could be sent by the president to fight but could not decide who that president was, lol
It doesn’t matter what branch of the military you are in as long as your serving the country. Y’all need to stop spreading hate between the different branches we are as strong as our weakest link.
Hello.. Look.. im not from America.. Can you tell me if it s a diference in Us for the Us army and Us national gard? Plss
Every branch picks on eachother, it's what we do. It's not serious at the end of the day it's all love for your brothers and sisters.
The difference between the guard and active duty army is that guardsmen maintain civilian jobs for a majority of the month, training 2-4 days a month and 2-3 weeks in the summer.
For example, I'm a guardsmen. My regular job is working fugitive recovery for bail bonds, in the army guard I'm an infantryman.
The guard also serves both the state government for at home missions such as natural disaster relief, border enforcement, and riot control and federal government for overseas missions. I've been to the Ferguson riots for the Guard and the middle east for the big army.
The basic training for the guard, reserves and active duty is literally the same thing, everyone goes together.
@@gruntwithripit1386 oh Tnx a lot man in my country (Romania) we call them reservistmen :))
Yeah no problem. In our country the reserves only serves the federal government
@@gruntwithripit1386 one more Quentin if i am a romanian and i come in USA can i join in us army
Ps Army the activ duty not the național guard or marins or navy or air force just army
This training is the same across the Army. The training in the video applies not just to National Guard but also to the Army Reserves and Active Duty. Everyone in the Army goes through the same Basic Training. Also, we had to pay $8.25 out of our own pockets for those dumb haircuts and we were required to get one every 14 days during Basic
I'm jealous, I paid $8.60
@@kayroy_4151 Inflation will get you man
I served in the Guard (63-69) & we had to get a haircut, (if you can call it that) every week!
Then, it was only $.90 a week, but it's one of the greatest 'ripoffs' of trainees!
I served as a conscript in my country 22 years ago. My haircut was $1. I too found it ridiculous that I had to pay for it
@@kayroy_4151 hi
My father served in the Arkansas Army National Guard in the 1950s. He did his basic training at Fort Polk, Louisiana the summer of 1954. I asked him what his experience was like in Army basic training. He said he had a great time. He had a few run-ins with a certain sergeant but other than that it was a good experience.
BCT is the same regardless if active, guard or reserve so why don’t they just say what basic training is like instead of acting like what’s it like in the guard 😂

advertising??
Most likely to emphasize people's interest in the National Guard. A lot of people who don't know much about the military might only think, or have only heard, of it being Active Duty or Reserves. But the narrator did say from 0:55 - 1:01 what you mentioned above.
Because they won’t do it...the guard has to find some way to make themselves stand out....it’s kinda annoying too.
I didn't do half the shit they did in army boot when I went to marine corps. We didn't throw grenades or shoot lmgs.... wtf
Looking at this while getting ready to go for BCT. This was very helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Same am watching this while preparing to ship out.
My current mood 😂
Watching this after I had just completed basic training is the best feeling
Whats your advice?
@@EliBrink-dt7dvDon’t quit. Do. Not. Fucking. Quit. It’s gonna fucking suck, but you’re gonna live. Drink water, plenty of water, and always remember: right uniform, right time. Don’t be a fuck up.
@@user-bm6ex5zj6n not at all, I would say it helped me as a person, and learned a lot of new things
in 1969 We packed up all our gear, put it on our back, filled both of our canteens with water, formed up, and marched out. to this day I don't remember the distance, I just remember the march. We marched out into the deepest part of the wilderness, and in pain and almost complete exhaustion turned around and marched back. I can remember when we was almost to the Company area I heard the order to Double Time.
Basic is a cakewalk. Lots of PT and good times😊
Kennedy Kennedy it was fun. Fun as you make it lol
What's the cut off age?
@@mattmason4013 I think 34 years old
@@Playstationbeast334 Damn I turn 34 next month.
Matt Mason I’ve seen 35-42. Best bet is to talk to a recruiter for the most accurate info.
I am watching these videos to help myself get ready.
As soon as I seen them cut the brother's dreads I'm like yea this ain't for me
Samuel Brice lmao
😂
Hair grows back my guy, dont let something as minor as that discourage you from doing what you want with your life.
Just get waves
Glad you figured this out early as possible because if you can't do something this small then you aren't ready for what is ahead. You saved the Army money and saved your time
I can tell it’s an act by the drill sergeants in this video. I can feel the energy that they WANT to give but can’t because they’re on camera😂
Can you elaborate? Are they being nicer on camera or meaner than they would be?
@@kaeta5833 Nicer
Wade Slide dang ok lol
@@slade006699
I would pass out like literally 💀
Thanks for this video. I ship out in a couple of weeks. Really needed to know what to look forward to
Very informative video! Great work 👍🏼
Leaving in a couple of weeks. I'm way more excited than nervous. I'm sure that'll change once I'm there.
how was it
Damn I feel sorry for that fella who got his dreads shaved off
He chose to do this
Prayers blessing to you all national guard overseas countries be safe careful always amen 🙏Aotearoa NewZealand 🙏❤
in Jesus name
Great!! Free camping, free hair cut AND i get a personal trainer!??!
Where do i sign😍
LMAOOO
Ayy, this looks sick. I used to be in cadets, pretty similar, had a shouty SM grimes, sheesh.
Me and the boys training for ww3
I wish we had went to war with Iran 6 months ago.
Alex M no you don’t 😭
Jada Gibson are you in the military
Alex M are you why would you wish to go to war
Jada Gibson some excitement.
No smoking at Basic??? I beg to differ...at least not the nicotine type. LMAO.
Whaaaaaat. You’re pulling my leg fam 😂😂😂
You could have smoked in basic training, you’ve never seen half used cigarettes on the side of the road?
The matches you got from MREs could be used to light it up.
When you’re on fire guard and are cleaning outside, go drop something off at the dumpsters and smoke a cig over there real quick.
I never broke the rules but I’m just sayin, if someone really wanted to they could have.
Maybe it was hard in the past. Definitely not now! The hardest part was dealing with my coworkers aka “battle buddies”
We had a mix of national guard, active duty, and reserves. We all went through the same training.
The National Guard does not run Basic Training. That is handled by the active duty Army. Sometimes drill sergeants from the Army Reserve may be present to augment the training forces. All new Soldiers go to the same Basic Training regardless if Active, Reserve, or National Guard.
I passed while watching this video?
Leaving for BCT this summer😁
Will be there soon
Gonna join on my own terms so that when WW3 starts I don’t have to be dragged out of my home
It was eight weeks when I was there. I was in Fort Dix NJ
Basic was the best thing I would never wanna do again
OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!
If I had tougher skin and wasn’t so emotional, I’d definitely want to work for the army. It’s an in another life dream.
Only way to get better is to challenge yourself
You can do anything you put your mind to. Sounds cliche but its true. You wont know your true potential if you never give yourself a chance
Army is easy as fuck
You can do it if you try
you don't get another life
Thinking about it.
The guard and the army are the same thing. Both have active duty deployments and the same training.
John doue Quebec the National guard serves duel missions and the army serves federal missions.
The guard and reserve are the same thing, the guard and active duty aren't
@@Barrett49calnot really
@@thecapitalg its really funny cause I wrote that comment before joining the guard and now I can confidently say they are VERY different
@@Barrett49cal cool, how is it?
Depending on the drill sgts You get to keep your phone at reception unless someone ruins it for you. I had mine up to the last day of reception. Also reception is worse than basic 😂
I just quit smoking to join it’s very hard it’s probably harder than boot camp for me in my opinion I’ve had worse things done than being screamed at and being told what to do. I’m ready to face any challenge that comes my way. I’m not saying basic will be easy at all. I’m just saying I’ll be ready to face everything that happens to me in basic. I’m ready to serve and become a better human.
This is what I like to do for my community 💗💪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
BCT in Fort Sill during winter can be a nightmare, cold as fck and the wind is annoying as hell but once you’re done you might miss being there
I did my basic and ait at fort Sill. Beautiful base, loved it there. But there where no women in training 30 plus years ago when I went in either
@@eastcoastgrandison4855 what would be different if there was
Bro im just trying to get my college paid for but this will be a lil bit emotional for me at the end i just know it
I served six years in the NY Army National Guard (1963-1969), did 120 days active, (5), 16 day "summer camps",
296 training drills, activated once for a 'blackout' & got an Honorable Discharge! But, since I & thousands of
other, former Guardsmen, didn't serve at least six months of active duty (not including training), we get absolutely
"NO" Veteran's benefits, i.e. Health care or burial benefits in a Veteran's cemetery! Think twice, before joining!
It’s Army no matter what
So dope! 🇺🇸
Much love
Lmaooo it’s sad but I feel like I could really learn everything except for those damn push ups 😂
Navy veteran and I still can't lmaooooo
same
“Worlds greatest fighting force”
Marine corps: “am I a fucking joke to you”
Watching this while I’m bout to enlist
Good luck in all you do!
I am sooo ready for round 2

I have a big sister going into the guard.my dad was 82nd.hope it’s me next
What's your sister Facebook I'm leaving July
We salute our MILITARY specialy
I already know them all
Yea!!!my dream
Civilian here asking advice from veterans. What are some things I should be doing to prepare my mind for the military? I’m working on my physical fitness. I’d like to enlist in the National Guard. Focusing on quitting my vices such as smoking and staying up to late. Reading a lot more.
Trying to work on disciplining my mind. I grew up in an environment without a lot of structure. Without getting to into detail I feel as if it made me lack the consistency I need.
So I’m curious if any Vets out there have advice on mental breaking exercises to focus the mind. 🙌🏿
^ this and simply don’t quit. Don’t allow yourself to. Whatsoever. Don’t cheat your body, work as hard as you can. Right uniform, right time, plenty of water, and don’t be an idiot. Simple.
If you’re still looking for advice, I’m gonna say this. Don’t be a shit bag. Apply yourself. Face every challenge with confidence no matter the complexity. This will get You far, not only in the military, but also in your life. Never quit at what you do. Always have false motivation. No matter what happens in life. No matter how angry you are, or how sad you are. Stay motivated. Don’t let anyone get to You. No matter what they say, or how they insult you, always remember you know the truth about what they’re saying.
Real love
Reception lasts 4-7 days. Definitely not at 30TH AG it doesn’t LOL
i was at 30th AG for over a month because of the disaster that happened
If you’re infantry it’s atleast 1-2 weeks
Dylan Kelly I am Infantry. I was there for 17 days or so
That's your for mistake for going in the summer lmao
Bloody heart15 not at all 2 weeks minimum 😂😂
3:58 42 became drill sgt z favourite 😂😂
They don't do the screaming\shark attack anymore when recruits arrive on the bus. They concentrate more on team building.
I was told I'm a risk assessment quite a few times
You know Hell follows after BCT if you go to AIT at Fort Gordon to become a 25U
Or just Fort Gordon for AIT in general. Ordnance is alright, but signal was wild when I went
There is no basic training in the national guard yo go to basic training with active army then when you’re done go back to you unit at the guard
GHOST negative. You go to AIT after basic.
Chris Boring I did OSUT
GHOST only pogs go to AIT
Is it possible to fulfill praying in the boot camp?
shoot I hope I get in
But are they allowed to have Indian unit names or will Little Liz claim their cheek bones aren’t right?
What percentage of recruits are above 30?
Why do they check the mouth? If you have a cavity does that cancel you out? I’m confused
Ft. Jackson 1993 - Delta 3/28 - Black Lions!
I'm about to turn 37 and always wanted to be in the service.... is 37 too late, should I forget about it? Looks like everyone is half my age.
I have a question I came to usa one year ago and I have a work permit not a green car can I join in national guard too I’m 21 year old
Basically NO TALKING in formation!!!!! No being to friendly. Stay motivated. ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!!!!
Black berets..... Airborne!
DaBeazKneez maroon is Airborne get your colors right. Black was started for regular Army so that way they’d have a beret like SF, AB and Rangers.
What length does it take to assure safety for others. Asking this
Thank you……
Our ARMY
Anyone who went to Jackson remember the barber with all them “gamecock” stickers? I went in 2013
My parents yell at me all the time I think I’m ready
Lmao not even close kiddo.
I've been told to get a waiver but recruiter wont help. Went to national guard and said he will sign one. I hear back tomorrow 😳😳😳😳😳😬😬😬😬😬😬
How did it go
@@MrBrandonata they cancelled my meps trip because of Corona
A waiver for what? I go to meps in a couple of days
Hearing
@@michaelc.8518 what about now?
So they don’t have to do no more the pepper spray and the electro shots?
I’d rather do 10 weeks of basic than 10 days of reception
10 days sounds better
Ok in the UK we don't have the national guard so I gotta know, what is this?
I spent alotta time trying to get enrolled ,I past the asvab the pre basic training in fort Hamilton ,signed a waiver do to my previous conditions I'm good now ,I'll work for free I just wannna serve and a skill.

That place suck fr

So can you go in with bad teeth? Let’s say cavity’s and maybe wisdom teeth coming in or something? And is the whole flat foot thing true?
Hi Sunni. Many medical conditions can be waived or allowed for. Your local rep is your best source of info.
Do they make you swim?
Can you bald cap them?
National Guard
I love💖🌹 American🇺🇸 soldiers🇺🇸 💕💖God bless the USA🇺🇸💕
I live in California so for Basic training I will have to fly to another state for it??
Yes, because your state is the disgrace of the nation along with New York. No offense to you though.
I'm 25 years old and I'm still undeciding on which branch I want to join in. United States Army National Guard or the United States Marine Corps. Ugh!!!! They're both good
I heard the Marines are tougher, and you don't get to pick what job you want.
If you want to hate your life join the marine corps.
If you want to hate your life a little bit less, join the army.
Army is 10 weeks, marines is 13 weeks, but the drill instructor wakes you up every day for 13 weeks, in the army the only time you get woken up is first 3 weeks red phase, after that you get to wake up yourself.
Go active duty army national guard is a joke 😂. They play dress up one weekend a month and call them selves soldiers . We call ‘em soup sandwiches
@@leroyumbrella6974 Some of us want more in life than to feel cool. And if you haven't been to war, you aren't a soldier either.
@@HonorarySaiyan I have been to war lol . And going to war doesn’t make you a solider that is dumb .
👍👍👍
I would have loved to join the US national guard but i believe too late now and am not even in the States 😔
I am in the JROTC i want know about National Guard Army
Same basic as active/reserve and national guard, depends in your MoS that's where your basic training will be. Nonfighing mos will go to fort jackson and more infantry mos will b at fort Benning. The video is correct in all except reception is about 3 days or 4 max, with the corona going on you won't learn combatives
is it possible to do national guard and once you’re done go to the marines ?
Yes
I thinking about joining the guard. Would they more relaxed with prior military? I been out for 5 years
Nicholas Nevares yes you won’t get smoked at all and you aren’t in the same barracks as new fresh meat
@@codyyellott117 I been told they don't give a fuck. Everyone equal lmao
Well I talked to my brother and he said otherwise marine for 8 years then went guard said it was relaxed no smoking basically doing own shit
can i deny immunizations?
