U_GOT_JACKED_1 Jesus Christ just reading your sentence almost made me fail my senior year. Maybe you should get off you ass and go to school 😂
no women in my training troop. Feel as if that would be a distraction for me, the lunch ladies started to look good after about week 9. lmfao
Man one of the lunch ladies had a birthday in week 9 and she had on perfume... I found out my dick still worked that day because my hormones went crazy 😂
Coty Higgins Smh. Facts
same thing at MCRD San Diego bro
A 10 in the army is a 3 in real life 😂😂
Bruh facts. Soldiers be thirsty for some lunch
I love it when people say "oh I couldn't join the military, I would've punched the drill sergeant " because I would pay to see them enlist and then (try to) do that
Yeah, they would be fucked up
Back in 1973 we had a guy take a swing at a DI in the barracks.
He ended up in the hospital for a few days, than he got his wish, he was going home, but with a dishonorable discharge...
they would get a boot to their chest
i acknowledge that i would have gotten fucked up, but i wouldn't have had the patience. and i clearly likely wouldn't have been able to make it that far in the first place. i'm sure there are folk who act like they would beat the di's ass, but i have no illusions. i would get my ass beat, but i certainly wouldn't be able to just stand there. respect to those who can.
@@kght222 🤡🤡🤡 if you were too weak to serve, just say that. Every infantryman hears this from a million people constantly it gets straight up fucking annoying
The infantry museum is amazing, even for us marines, it’s very interesting.

I got to basic training doing 0 push ups , 10 sit ups and 20 min two mile.
After ten weeks I was able to to do 44 push ups , 67 sit ups and a 13 min two mile. So the program works.
Wow. That is some improvement.
I was good with pt except the last pt test I did the 2 mile run in 10:05 with a fractured foot with the fear of the DS inside my head lol.
It's not that the PT is easy--it surely isn't. The mental toughness is more important. NEVER give up, ALWAYS try your hardest, and you'll be amazed what you can accomplish.
No disrespect but that barely qualifies you to enter USMC boot camp.😳
@@stevenroberts1709 it just got me outta basic training. Improving every day though and shipping to Germany tomorrow morning.
I actually got my head shaved by that guy lmao
Miller Harp, I got mine as well
I went to benning for BTC
Same
We all did lol
SAME LOL and I just went through a few months ago!
When I joined the Army in 2005, just outside our barracks was this sandbox called "the pit." We spent 8 hours in the pit before we even made it in the building. Fort Knox was insane.
Were you Cav?
They started putting patches on their sleeves now in basic. When I was in you didn't get a patch till you got to your unit. You don't earn a patch till you get to your unit. Then you get to earn another patch when you deploy to a combat area.
makes sense. why would you get a patch until you made it to your unit. that is the point of the patch to know who you are with. As a Jarhead, I find the patches overdone and a hassle for most enlisted. Keep tracking of patches as you go etc.
@@JamesonsTravels it was something about the new recruits coming in getting butthurt over not getting a patch. Just like how they got butthurt about the shark attack.
Yeah, they've screwed up the Army so bad it's unreal. Almost any Army veteran who went to boot camp prior to this softening can attest to the fact that Basic Training was a living hell and almost identical to what is depicted in Full Metal Jacket. It NEVER let up. Even on graduation day, I got dropped and screamed at right in front of my parents in my Class A dress uniform.
I graduated only 2 years ago. We were not allowed to wear a patch in Basic. We wore one while in AIT to more easily distinguish us from those in basic
@@JohnB-dr8sk that's exactly how I remember it. In the Winter of 87 at Fort Sill Ok. No Women nor Patches for 13 weeks. Too many damn changes since then.
Went through white sands as an infantry recruit in 2009 and I can say without a shadow of a doubt those drills are holding way back for the cameras. At least I hope they are. I never saw a drill put hands on anyone who didn't deserve it for being stupid. Actually had an overweight guy like the one you saw, he had a really hard time but he never complained and did everything asked of him or he tried to the best of his ability. I am sure he never passed a PT there but I know he got damn close and he lost like 60 pounds and finished all training evolutions so they ended up passing him. I personally liked the guy, we suffered because of him a few times in the beginning but he never showed despair or fear so we all ended up taking it in stride and I was thrilled when they let him graduate.
Hi Deaths Gaming, I was at White Sands in 84 and 85, did they still have the white elephant where you had chow.
That's fucking amazing. Determination is incredible. That dude is great.
They're definitely holding back because of the cameras. My basic training was way more intense than this.
I am impressed compared to the reception week video I did first. Good stuff Army.
Oh yeah they are holding back, i remember the Drill Sergeants asking us how many of us had seen bct videos and saying if it was accurate lol
I did my basic training in 94 at Ft. Sill, OK. I can honestly tell you that it was a lot more intense than what I witness on this video. I'm aware that times have changed and I enjoyed watching today's recruits on this video. Oh by the way, I chuckled at the snack packs, as I remember I think for my time they allowed us to drink water from the fountain.
There not, it depends on your basic training, I’ve heard of super chill basic trainings after the shark attack where they got there phones every Sunday.
When I meant to parris island back in January they made us completely shaven faces before we got there
I don't know if this is just for camera, or if this is how the army trains now, but our drill sergeants never let up, until graduation/family day
I was going to say the same thing. And in processing, we were constantly being hounded by the drill sergeants. Wasn't any of this calm stuff, at least not in the mid-90s.
I trained along side females in my platoon and some of them were a lot tougher than some of us guys. Respect.
Doubt
Doubt
What kind of weaklings were your guys
I’ve never heard of them giving them “one last chance” to change their mind. One of my Drills asked any of us if we wanted to quit, one recruit said they did n the drill said tuff shit🤣
Same! Lol. FLW 2001. No one got to quit. Until the DS’s got tired of babysitting a quitter. Usually took 6-7 weeks. So basically should’ve just sucked it up and graduated
@@williamfryman4360 same at ft Knox. You graduated or they recycled your ass. The shit they go through to get recruits through now is ridiculous.
1984, no one had a chance to quit.
@@williamfryman4360 Good ole FLW
You can just actually quit. They told you not to because they may think you can be trained. Normal at intake you are not in the military yet, so you can quit and walk home (“not AWOL”)
Okay I went through fort Benning a year and a half ago and it’s nothing like this 😂 a kid got kicked in the chest on his way off the bus and they throw your bags into a pile and dump them n shit.
When I went through back in 2003 a guy got himself thrown hard with his bag still attached to him because he couldn't get the bag off his shoulder.
@@WGWF10222003 A co 2/19 sand hill
Yeah they still do that shit. I promise you they're still doing it
Man good to hear. Lol
My buddy in boot camp was completely bald...and we all went to the barbershop and each had to pay $15 for a haircut, the barber took one look at him and said “oh you’re good”. And he never got his money back 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The reason that I stated in the documentary that "we encourage and work on training the soldiers to be more critical thinkers" is because it aligns with the Army's philosophy of Mission Comand. Mission Command is the exercise of authority and direction by the commander using mission orders to enable disciplined initiative within the commander's intent to empower agile and adaptive leaders and soldiers in the conduct of Unified Land Operations. It's not about making the trainees "Aristotle"; it's about cultivating in them common sense and the ability to adapt and overcome complex battlefield scenarios. They need to exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders while still adhering to the commander's intent.
Were you a cav scout
@@jackwatson6784 no, I am an 11B. I actually just completed my Drill Sergeant time as the 197th Infantry Brigade Drill Sergeant of Year on Fort Benning and was part of the company that conducted the first official 22-week Infantry OSUT class when the Army switched from 14-week to 22.
This is accurate. Mission Command is the biggest concept that has been feverishly adopted. An absence of a commander may inevitably happen and since war and battles are always changing by the second, a group of soldiers that have the ability to be flexible and be adaptable to any situation can be beneficial (While still pertaining with the CO's intent). The development of soldiers to have both the professional discipline and the professional thinking goes a long way.
This way of training has been the implementation of all the lessons learned throughout all wars we have been, even as far back as the Revolutionary war with Von Steuben's introduction of discipline. There's an effectiveness factor here of why it's being done.
@@kellylord9153 oh the hat looks like cav
I'm wearing a Drill Sergeant hat with a blue disk behind the brass Army crest denoting that I'm an Infantry Drill Sergeant.
I was a 1SG at an OSUT company until 2019. This video is odd, because it's not linear for the training path. It went from pickup day to firing belt fed weapons. There is about an 8 week gap in that training, including all of red phase, and rifle marksmanship. They also skipped all of the tactics weeks leading into urban operations. Also, as previously mentioned, these drills were absolutely holding back for the cameras.
Yeah I thought the same thing, they left out many nights of getting smoked in the common area at 2am because someone hung a towel wrong haha.
Maybe JT did his own edit for brevity. But yeah, it's pretty short from A to Z.
It wasn't JT's editing.. the original BI video is about the same... Skipped everything.
@@franksmith8210 exactly. butt naked lined up "shower drills" 30 seconds to get in and wash off but oh boy someone done fked up everyone get your PTs on we're going for a run. 3 times in one night after gd knows how long of a day. It was great

@@Deviated09 Yeah, but how much of the video do you remember making it through first?
Joseph Colavecchio do you know how drunk you would get
i love your marine graduation picture
I went through MP OSUT in 2017. We didn’t have a “calming down” period either. The first three weeks you got treated bad the whole time. Once we got to white phase which is rifle marksmanship training, the drill Sargents backed up a little bit to actually teach you the basics of shooting. Once we got into the MP school stuff, they amped back up again.
They need to make a documentary of that barber man. Imagine all the untold stories he could have. Such dedication to his job. Shows why the system works🔥 long live the US Military
The only problem I have with shipping out to basic training is to control my laughter. Honestly these Drill sergeants say the most funniest shit ever.
No kidding. DIs say the funniest crap especially when looking back.
Lol I remember a kid falling asleep.. the drill Sgt grabbed his bunk and beat the shit out of him with his mattress 🤣
Julian Nosek Yo wtf 😂😂😂😂😂
cail hagen ouch 😂😂😂😂
Riften Guard you’re not kidding bro, that’s literally my only weakness.
We didn't have a last chance when I was in. Once you were in-processed you were in. One guy tried slittin his wrist got blood on the Senior DI. Senior DI addressed the company and explained not for anyone else to try that tactic hoping to get thrown out. DI said that'll just piss me off.
I never served but really enjoy your videos.. I try to catch each one and give them a thumbs up. Thanks for serving our great country
The only women I ever saw during training were the old girls serving our food in the chow hall.
My 92G was a female. We were all "in love." I was a 92A though, and was tasked to work often with her, and would try to pick her brain about stuff. Best info about my MOS I ever got.
I loved some of those chow hall ladies in 2006
After about 6 weeks, they were starting to look good. I went to Sill. That was to only time you were seeing a woman.
And those old ladies got sexy AF too.
I heard soldiers get so thirsty that them lunch ladies started to look good after 9 weeks!🤣💀☠☠😂
There was never a “relaxed” moment of my basic training. The only time my drills were slightly relaxed was the week before graduation. This was when we could talk to our drills about what the big army is like. But there was NEVER a point in my basic where the drills were relaxed with us.
Mine too... but I have to say tho. Another time was during our actual infantry training, after Basic. At the range, we could actually talk to drills about their experiences. They loved sharing their stories at that point.
Philip Simmonds if I enlist can I request infantry?
same brother i went to basic back in 08 my buddy went in 13 he told me they restructured everything
I got smoked at graduation... D.S. Commander .. yes that was his name
Boot camp was intense, I was regretting joining and thinking is this gonna be like this my whole enlistment.
I love these vids you post. We had obviously different enlistment eras but lived the same Marine Corps.
"Let me know in the comments below if you've ever asked for peanuts on a southwest flight but they only had pretzels"
We got smoked in are class A's on parade ground right before graduation ceremony
Did you complete basic at Fort Jackson?
@@UncleSamdalf No Fort Benning
I recently completed BCT and one of the other companies got smoked before graduation also.
At least they haven't gotten to soft over the years. Good to know.
We did too, in fort Knox. I loved that sh*t
that "wormy thing" workout was super tough on the core... helps with the combat training to slip a move on the ground... I did it like 9 years ago though
Hahahaha😆😂🤣. Made my day brother. At 9:50 when the chubby guy was getting screamed at, the look on your face...and mine had me dying!!! When you said, in disbelief, now how..how did that guy get in?...I was in tears😂😂😂. Good one brother.
"let me know in the comments below if you've ever been riding a unicycle across a tightrope and had an itch on your earlobe"
Lol
Yes
Right we get about a minute at a time of the video followed by.....if you blah blah blah....put it in the comments below. LOL !
Must less intense than I remember, even in '94, and Infantry School damn sure wasn't integrated. The only women we ever saw were the huge women who served at the mess line. Even they started looking enticing by the end.
Hahahaha I can imagine
Favorite MRE: Mess line women
I thought the same thing lol
I don't comment often but I do appreciate and appreciate-by your videos. Thank you for your service sir!

Did they feed you at the beginning. Lol. My boot camp didn't eat for 24 hours. Dang. I'm joining the Army. Hahhaha
That's like the softest I've heard a Drill Srgt talk, I remember getting yelled at and being threatened to get knocked out. Also I never got snacks, never saw anyone with a beard coming in, and last I remember a guy that came in with us in processing refused to wear the US flag so they kicked him out.
Yea the guy with the flag definitely used that as an excuse to jump ship. He didn't realize what he was getting himself into and had second thoughts
Thank you for the Great video

The fancy coffee drink was the best from the MREs. Also, a few MREs had caffeine tablets. I got one once and I remember sticking it in my sock to hide it from everyone else.
I was the straight up candy man when it came to Emory treats back at basic. My favorite was probably the cold chicken with Buffalo sauce. Add great candy peanut butter dry bread. It was some good stuff.
As someone who joined the Army in 2017, I'm not going to pretend like my basic training experience was anything like it was in the 90s or compare it to Marine boot camp, but holy crap this video made it seem like Kindergarten. Trust me when I say they definitely softened things up for this video. My drill sergeants were Iraq / Afghanistan vets that would eat you up
Shiva Blaster I also joined in 2017 and I feel the same way. I remember I didn’t see a female the entire time I was there😂
My ds told me: “it’s gonna be red phase all 22 weeks”. And that’s what it was. I didn’t get any of this “cool down”. This was September 2019- March 2020

My basic was really chill after 6 weeks or so. I graduated in 2012. Your DS must of been a leg jk jk
They give privates juice boxes in inproc? Jesus, that's not my Army
They look so happy!
My experience was nothing like this... there was no “relaxing” after the shark attack... guess it varies depending on the company you train in
It always depends on ur unit. I was sent to Vilseck, Germany and we got passed once on a run. We were always joking around like why can't we ever not pass some other platoon . Same for sure cause when I got to my other unit in jblm as seasoned SPC. It was like candyland compared to the training/pt I was doing. Waaay more laxed 🤔😂✔💯
Man we got smoke everyday and we through red phase 3 times
I don't even remember what happened "after" shark attack. Everything before the day pass seemed like shark attack. Lmao.
For sure! I had to comment after that segment bc that smiling and “just chillin” is NOT the same experience I had in the 90s.. it was a heckle, smoke and GI party every single day. So soft nowadays. My expression was like 🤨🤨
Was no calming effect when i was in, they made you feel like crap all throughout basic
@Jay Y are you dumb?
Jay Y That was the point.. they want to weed out the weak
That's why they call it boot camp.
Fort Benning. 2004. A little more intense and way less PC. Our drill sergeants had no reservations about putting their hands on us and degrading us to tear us down. They literally told us that if you can’t make it you will die in a combat situation and worse, get someone else killed. It was a true “hands-on” approach.
They “transitioned to coaches” about halfway through.
I had a mid-cycle PT test I failed. My excuse was that I was sick and hacking up. DS Sherin woke me up @ 1:00 in the morning. Once I got to the track he proceeded to make me run the PT test while running it with me the whole way. I took the PT retest later in the AM and passed. He taught me the difference between looking for an excuse not to do something and finding motivation to get it done. I’ll never forget this.
I hated my DS’s in the beginning. I love them to this day. I coach my team at work with the same principles I learned from them and other NCOs in my career. Lead by example. Do things the right way the first time, every time. Attention to detail. Integrity.
One thing I always admired is that they cared for every soldier as if he was his own kid. They knew our names, learned our weaknesses, gave us strength, and rebuilt us with both the best interests of the Army but ourselves as well. What’s impressive is that they had done this with thousands of troops.
Sorry if that’s long winded, but damn, I respect the hell out of those NCO’s. The best of the best.
I'm watching this for the first time James and it's like a freaking monologue of what I went to cuz freaking boot camp is way hardcore than basic
The way the combatives program was explained to us was that, no matter what, a fight will always end up on the ground. If you get your ass kicked when you're standing you'll still end up on the ground and if you can fight from the ground you've got a leg up.

Put that in the comments. Thats his tagline
Wow, that brought back memories. I went through fort Benning April of 1989.
We got a sack lunch at the processing center, and it seems to me that we only spent maybe a week there.
We had to mind our P's and Q's all through basic training. The DI's only lightened up during AIT.
After AIT I went to holdover waiting for Airborne school. Then to Ranger indoctrination Program. I failed the swim portion. Wish I would of took some time to train before I went In. Yeah Ft. Benning is huge. Seeing those brick columns brought back that smell of various cleaners, mixed with humidity.
This is way nicer than my army basic training. Probably because the cameras are watching. Drill sergeants would put you on the ground if you mouthed off or were overly difficult. It was considered assisting the recruit for training. One guy in my platoon got his arm broken it was referred to the company commander. The drill sergeant didn't get in trouble for breaking his arm. The recruit was recycled after his arm healed and started basic training all over again.
I hated the MRE's, for a few years we still had the C-rations which I loved, when they handed them out it was like being at a farm auction, I got frank and beans who wants to trade for the green eggs and ham, the first version of MRE's were all dehydrated, so you had to carry extra canteens just to rehydrate your meals.
That group of recruits that were going through 30th AG was the class I went through OSUT with. So surreal

What is AG? (Alpha Golf)
That blue book that dude had brings back memories. Sitting in them desk for two weeks reading that damn book. Lol
I've never been to boot camp but that exercise is an absolute core destroyer. We used to do it a lot for wrestling and jiujitsu warmups, it's a a variation of what we call "shrimping".
Looks like one of those things that could look easy but is hard as h@ll
we call it shrimping too
I've heard it referred to as side shrimping.
You do a lot of shrimping in MACP.
I always heard them as stuck turtles or side turtles.

I went to boot camp at ft beginning GA in 2013 and it didn’t get even a little bit laid back until toward the end of basic training then we went straight into infantry school and back to square one as far as intensity, so to see these guys smiling in the beginning of red phase just shows how soft the army has gotten
I remember my head Green belt took his cover and belt off, tucked his rank and was ready to rumble... great dude. Stayed in contact with me for my entire stay in the Corp.
Army basic training now looks like any old ROTC summer camp and even softer lmao
So I was infantry OSUT at 9/11. The speech from our senior Drill SGT was perfect.
"Quit crying. Plenty of people are crying from coast sea to shining sea. It is not going to do anything. If you want to do something about what happened today quit feeling sorry for yourself and pull your head out from between your rear and listen and we will teach you what you can do about it.
I was in basic training with integrated platoons and the amount of fraternization between the males and the females was crazy
When I graduated MCRD San Diego in May 1987, I had two weeks of leave before reporting to Camp Lejeune for SOI. When I completed that training in late July 1987, there was no leave, we went directly to our permanent units. I didn't get leave again until just before Christmas, then had to be back on station on 12/26 so the next group could get leave for New Years. As for the processing week of boot camp, we had that for about a week, then met our DI's. I don't recall them letting up until after phase II was completed and we were starting Phase III. That is until one recruit (not me) REALLY messed up and we got the honor of being treated like it was phase I again for a day or two. Good memories, I couldn't do it again at my age, but I still have the knowledge.
I was on that bus they showed showing up to 30th ag. All those kids are in my company right now we just turned green. 13 weeks to go. Also, we had a kid try to back out before we got shipped to basic and he was forced to go. The documentary says they can just quit but in my processing company that wasn’t the case
How was your snack?
Yea I dont buy what you're selling but ok.
God Bless - Our Veteran's - All of Them - Thank You, Thank You...For All of Your Endeavor's...I Will Never Forget - Your Service...
Those little snacks they hand out in the video are also given out in Marine Corps boot camp now too
I went through army basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, they do give those little food packs. I believe they are nicknamed "Jimmy Deans", and even in the regular army, sometimes we would be given those before time sensitive movements. I also think they are cheaper than MRE's.
Ever notice how everyone thinks they went to the last hard class of anything...
huh?
Lol 👍 yes
I don’t. 😂😂
It keeps changing every year
BaCk In My DaY
Integrated training is bad for one very specific reason: You don't need any distractions from your training!
Graduated from Benning in December of 2013. Only thing I remember was some kid taking a dump outside the DFAC of 30th AG and the cadre threatening to send the whole class home if someone didn't confess. Good times!
Guy showed up with a purple mow hack and got smoked as soon as drill sgt caught site of him and asked him if he thought this was Girl Scout camp lmao
I was in one of the 1st gender integrated boot camp. Now I'm going to say this it the way it will be in the field.... but what a distraction and a pain in the ass. I basically did basic training twice, once for me and ones for ever female that was lagging be hind.
Oh I remember that. Go on a Battalion hump and headquarters shows up. Lots of ladies in the humves dropping up. I won’t tote anyone’s gear.
Unfortunately lots of females show up unprepared, but you can’t act like there aren’t dudes who can’t pass a pt test or ruck. It’s sexist to think all dudes can do it too.
@@almighty_salt9648 there are males that can't hack it about 10 to 20% but females run in the 40% range. I feel the Marines has basic training right keep us separated for the inatal trainning and bring us together at AIT.

@@garrygilbert4635 army should do that too I cant tell you how many people I seen fucked because of co ed bullshit in basic
Legend has it that to this day people are still putting things in the comments
I'm a Marine. I was in Ft. Benning for my schoolhouse training. My first impression was a recruit was being "IT'd" outside the chowhall. This consisted of him doing something like 10 lazy half assed pushups and blatantly laughing in front of his drill sergeant, unpunished. I came back 2 years later for an advanced course and was shocked to see three recruits going down the hotel elevator with me on a Sunday, one chatty asked how I was and I asked in return and he said "not excited to go back to bootcamp tomorrow." I was shocked. I don't understand how the Army effectively instills discipline into these recruits and it shows.
I was at Benning in ‘98. The place is massive. If I remember correctly, they could close the base to anyone from outside and be almost completely self sufficient. Almost. Also, I don’t remember ever getting a snack box. The amnesty room has been a thing for a long time, though. They had it there when I went through. It really doesn’t ease up. They will ride you from day one to graduation. The day we switched to infantry school, they took us over to the parking lot across the street smoked us and said welcome to infantry school.
You are right about how infantry training has evolved over the years in 1979 we did pretty much jungle training we did a lot of land nav in the desert environment but the bulk was in the weeds different time different circumstance .
Interesting evolution. Always training for what did not come. Jungle then desert came etc.
7:05 mother of god I literally remember that barber
In football as interior defensive lineman, we always used to practice following a pulling offensive guard. I used to think it was the stupidest drill until one time it actually happened in a game, I was able to follow the guard with no hesitation, and I laid out a division 1 recruit
That shuffling along the ground on the back, is a judo/ju jitsu training move. It helps keep control and a more safer position from your back
The excercise where they wiggle across the floor is adopted from wrestling and jiu jitsu. The exercise helps your ground game. I used to do that excercise everyday as a warm up before we started trainging
Looks tough!
I used to do that in jiu jitsu, my coach called them "EOS"
Back in 89 that exercise would be called the "DIEING COCKROACH". Done whenever you screwed up. 🤣🤣🤣
Believe it or not, the guy at 9:47 made it through. Lost something like 50 pounds during the cycle.
LOL dang I don't know what the Army is doing but they're doing a good job 😂😂
How you know?
@@matthewtenorioduenas202 I was in his platoon in OSUT
YYYYOOOO!!!! Now that's inspiring!
I mean as long as they can do the pt stuff, I don’t see why weight matters.
For those of us that went through osut in Fort Benning it was 16 weeks long back in 1996-97 you did basic and AIT together there was no gender mixing back when I was in and when I went to bootcamp but I do remember getting off the cattle trucks going to our housing base for my platoon they call it shark attack I remember that
Graduated from Fort Benning on April 19th, 2019. It was raining pretty much the entire time I was going through and it was cold as shit. After Red phase the Drills relaxes a little bit but were still very loud and aggressive with how they explained things and treated us recruits. From what I’ve heard it’s really depending on what Drill Sergeants you get.
Congrats. Get after it
What company were you in I was in delta 150 and graduated April 19 2019
That’s crazy! We didn’t get a snack. At 2 AM we arrived and were screamed at for 2 hours in the same room that is seen in the move Stripes. I went to OSUT at Ft Knox, Ky though.
The Exercise you asked about was in when I went through, I was used to it because of wrestling but yes it is generally very difficult on the body's core. Also, We got smoked pretty often the first week during processing. I went through during December, January, and February - it was cold and wet so the ruck marches blew ass because of the massive blisters from wet boots. Women were in my training group, about a 1 in 7 ratio. A few of them got pregnant during training...
I wonder the % on how often women get pregnant during boot camp while in a coed group compared to a non coed group.
Army vet here! I like your content good stuff!!
I went to Fort Benning I wasn't 11B however but when I enlisted in 2017 that was the first year for Female 11B. Also the year of the first female Ranger or SF I believe that it was Ranger tho. My Senior DS wasn't to thrilled with good explanation. But there's a lot of shit that I wouldn't have expected. At the church services females troops were prostituting themselves, also at other Infantry barracks. Shit was crazy STDs were flying around like pink eye in Barracks. And Article 15s ooooooooohhhhh shit those were going out like breakfast lunch and dinner. I mean I get it you miss sex, but its not worth it fr.
How'd u like 11B I'm going to meps soon and I'm planning on that being my mos
I would just settle for a footjob lol
@@damaribrackett1159 Do something else, regular infantry life right now in garrison blows. It'd be different if we were constantly rotating into combat deployments, but right now there's an extremely high chance if you go into the regular army as an infantrymen you will not get a combat deployment. Quality of life in garrison sucks, optempo is still high with going to the field constantly. Down periods you will sit in your company ao for 10-12 hours doing nothing or get fucked with by bored nco's. What I recommend is choosing something that's going to give you a high quality of life and a skill set that you can take with you after your military career ends. After getting some time in you realize that you are cut out for this and want to be high speed you can very easily drop a packet and go to rasp(ranger assessment and selection) or go to selection(special forces/green beret). A selection packet cannot be denied if you meet the requirments and you'll just go back to osut for infantry training before selection, rasp you'd keep your mos but be in ranger regiment. These are the only guys deploying and having real world missions with any consistency. Your quality of life will be much higher and the training and equipment you get will be the best stuff available. Should you fail you'd just go back to doing what you were doing before. I'd look at any of the 68 series jobs besides 68w(same suck as 11b applies), the 35 series jobs are cool, there's cyber warfare, drone operator etc. Still some cool shit and your life will be much better, stay away from combat arms and if you still desire it after being in do the above and go to selection.
@@bryanknight1056 thank u so much I really wanted to be a paratrooper so initially I was just gunna be 11b for a couple years the transfer but after all that I'll actually research most of these mos's really appreciate your insight fr
@@damaribrackett1159 You're welcome man, if you have any more specific questions come to mind feel free to inbox me and I will answer the best I can.
I was 6'5 and 322 pounds going into boot camp. I had 25% body fat. I left with 15% at 280lbs. Running a 15:00 2 mile. 70 sit-ups and 60 pushups
The MOUNT training was from boot. Really enjoyed this at Fort Jackson. The specialist is probably part of the cadre of the range.
I've been to Fort Benning before when I was a truck driver I made a delivery to their commissary. I had pigs feet on board and a few other snack items
Glad I subbed yesterday 🇺🇸
Awesome. I appreciate. Click the bell. Video comes out often with the self isolation. Lol share with a buddy. Any video you would like see?
Jameson’s Travels bells on. Perhaps a seal training video of some sort
We had an amnesty room 25 years ago-i initially enlisted 30 years ago, but got out and finished school when my enlistment was up. Re-enlisted to pay off my loan and was immediately sent to Korea which was hot at that time (December 93-Jan94. Lots of us prior service guys spent a week getting shots/equipment issue etc before them deciding they didn’t have enough time to get us to the ROK, so most us us ended up promptly taking Christmas leave instead of spending 2 more weeks pulling details at Leonard Wood. Lots of us prior service guys were smokers and dippers, and remember being told to drop our stuff in the amnesty box, along with knives, drugs, porn etc-stuff we knew we couldn’t have. We all played the game and dropped our tobacco, but were ticked off when we discovered it was a racket to get free dip and smokes for guys who worked at reception.
I loved the peaches and dried fruits in the MRE's
We had one Marine in our platoon that had to complete basic training with Army infantry in order to get into Special Forces.
