For anyone out there shipping to basic soon, u got this. Prepare yourself mentally, physically and emotionally. Enjoy the process, basic training will be over before u know it.
That's me! Hopefully no hiccup, I'll be going September
They need to bring back the shark attack for the real experience
How do you mentally prepare
@@blaze858jgood luck from Germany.

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 ❤
@jae._.1 you're very welcome. I hope you have an amazing experience as I did. Goodluck!!
@@TheButlcl001 thank you so much, i'm gonna need it!
Went 2018! D5-15 🇺🇸 Fort Benning
@@TheButlcl001what workouts do you do in the army because im gonna go to the army when i turn 17 as a recruit and i want to be prepared
At 27:46 That Lt. Colonel was patching his son. You can see Caldwell on the Private's nametag. That is literally so precious, you can see how proud his dad is.
❤ Wish my family had such trust in me. They keep trying to make me join the Puddle Pirates or the Chair Force. I'm Army or Marines all the way. HooRah! ❤ Got 5 months of training ahead of myself, and I'm prepared for anything and everything
Went to basic at Jackson and served 7 years. Seeing these videos of where it all started brings back memories of some of the best times of my life
What workouts should i do before i go to the army(i have a couple of years)
@@Kodex4654I know you said workouts in particular but just run a lot, have good upper body and lower body strength
@@Kodex4654 Pushups and pullups for upper body strength, get some distance running in (2 to 5 miles) and most importantly strengthen and harden your feet. Go out and walk/hike in boots for long distances. If your feet are not sore or blistering then youre not walkign far enough. To summarize, in order of importance imo, 1. Feet conditioning 2. Upper Body strengthening 3. Distance running/cardio work to failure.
@@Krisday03 so squats and pull up?
@@Kodex4654 push ups, sit ups and running 2-3 miles with relative ease. The PT test has changed a bit but if you get good at those 3 you’ll have the strength and endurance to do well at anything they throw at you.
I played football 10 years in south Alabama. Every coach I ever had sounded just like those drill sergeants!
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!
The year I was born. Thank you for your bravery of serving our country
Just graduated from B 1-13th today. I met SFC Joplin a couple times too. To anyone who’s about to ship, just remember that time keeps moving and you keep getting closer whether you’re getting smoked, standing in formation for hours, or even sleeping
Yoooo I graduated from 1-13th 3 months ago! You must’ve been right after me. God time flew by. I was in C
@@troll2cay693I graduated from C 1-13 back in October 2020 during COVID. Is DS Peugh still there? Or SDS Ellison?
@@benjaminpeace2967 SDS Peugh is 100% still there! Not DS Ellison though.
@troll2cay693 man he had just gotten there when I was going through and it was hilarious how insecure he was at first yelling at everyone lol. I'm sure he's changed a lot by now. Good guy though
Yoo I was in bravo company 1-13 I had 1st sgt roger
For anyone going to go off to basic I just made it to AIT a week ago from Ft Jackson and just make sure that you’re prepared mentally they’ll definitely get you there physically
I’m planning on leaving sometime in January or February once I have fully recovered from my surgery. Any advice about Ft. Jackson? I’m almost 100% sure I’m headed there for basic
The part that is the worst is not that, the worst part is dealing with other trainees, basic is not difficult but trainees of us, we make it difficult. Also a possibility of experiencing bullying, harassment...bullying, that's the difficult part. 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!😂.
im out of shape and got a belly. barely can do push ups and pull ups. any tips i go in jan
@TwistedVizual work out, do your best, eat healthy and no need for like a strict diet, just eat healthy.
@@jumex_mangogoing there to in Feb
Went to Benning in 2014, and was some if the best few months if my life, and am still in, this looks like light work lol i went in with a completely open mind and just did everything i could to make it fun but no matter what don’t let your mind or your body quit, if you focus you’ll learn you have more control over your mind and body and are capable of doing things you never thought, ya’ll got it.
That's not the real problem but the real problem is the other trainees, bullying, harassment, etc. Basic is easy but the difficulty is us the trainees.
I enlisted in the U.S. Army back in 1994 and long fulfilled my 8 year contract. This is way different than what I went through in basic training and it was 8 weeks long at that time. Did basic training at Fort Jackson.
You know back in the 1990s recruits had to be picked up on cattle busses
@@schmiwtzanmoonsuite That depends where people went for basic training. Where I went for basic training we were picked up on the Blue Bird bus.
Nice - the bus..
WTH is this??? Back in the 80's we never did this, Where's the shark attack?? Engineer OSUT had Shark attacks for the whole day! We go soft? We did 13 weeks for the entire OSUT.
Well obviously it was different than now. That was almost 30 years ago
Makes me want to go through basic again ! there seems to be a lot more then what we went through when I was in. 72-83 Sgt Mike AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY !
Give this cameraman an award or something!! Man was running around with this camera and holding a nice steady hand for running. Making insider look bad
He wasn't handholding. Gimbal at least
Man's got that fancy steadycam rig
Basic training has changed tremendously since I went through it in Aug-Oct 1980.
No joke. Went in 93 different then also
For better or worse?
@@coreymorris8707 well we started with 61 ended with 47. Those 46 I would go to war with with confidence they wouldn’t fold up like cheap suits and would do their jobs regardless of the point of contact. Some people in that video I wouldn’t trust with doing their own taxes let alone actions during war.
@@coreymorris8707 worse. They seemed almost coddled instead of hardened.
It's a complete disgrace nowadays. God help the USA.
I went to basic at Ft Jackson in late 1983, did 20 and retired. Glad to see the training looks pretty damn good these days. I salute.
I went to Navy Boot Camp in Orlando in 1990 as an 18 year old.. This is fun. Props for everybody that serves.
This is cake-walk compare to combat arms MOS for 11B/C series Basic Training of 9 weeks prior to AIT. Fort Benning is a whole different animal when it comes to yelling, screaming in attention to details. I see a lot of lallygagging on here, tbh.
@robcaya3716 that's because this is day one of BCT.
@@robcaya3716Ft. Benning the toughest training
went through basic back in 72 at Ft. Dix N.J. found being a tank mechanic & Vehicle Recovery (Mud Diving) a bore went to Airborne in 76, became an11C 1P sent to Italy with the %)(th Airborne Bn (GERONIMO) came back to the states, served with the 20th Special Forces AIRBORNE got medically discharged in 83. A BIG WHOOOOWAAAA The BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE !
Thanks bro. I love service members. My son is in basic now. My dad was a 23 year Air Force Captain.
For those about to ship out, have a pen and notepad for the first 100 yards. Itll help memorizing the order of how to put thing together.
And a method of shorthand for the objects. Something you have practiced and know what it means.
@@mr.k.i.s.s7496 it also helps if you either tear out the paper you were writing in or have your notes easily findable in your notepad. I was smart enough to jot notes on how to assemble a stack of MRE boxes, but I wrote them in a random place in my notebook and for the life of me, couldn't find them when it came time to assemble them.
I wish them all great success
Graduated from Fort Leonard Wood recently. Easy af, just remember right place, right time, right uniform. Also never stand out unless it’s for a good reason. Feel free to ask questions.
Hey! i graduated at around the same time from Fort leonard wood. those were the exact words our DS would say all the time. right place, right time and right uniform. hell yeah!
Hey I leave for basic training in 37 days in fort Leanard wood I’m just wondering how it was there I’m scared asf lol
@@ryft9842 reception will 100% suck. the conditions are poor but after that, once you get to your company and just stay healthy and just follow whatever the DS tell you, you will be fine. just know youre going to make it through no matter what, you wont be afraid knowing that you got a person to your left and right there for the same thing
If I can survive 12 weeks of BCT during Covid, anyone can! Embrace the suck, and stay positive for not only yourself, but for your comrades!
Were you there in 2020? I was there post covid in april 2021 we still had to wear those aweful masks.
@@germangranda6480 2020, we had a yellow phase!
Yes! Graduated from C 1-13 in October 2020 and I remember yellow phase lol. Man it was nightmare back then
That isn't the problem but the real problem is the other trainees, bullying, harassment, etc. People are not so normal, people are not so patriotic as they claim to be.
I ship to Ft. Jackson Jan 9th 2024. Last few weeks of civilian life!
Best of luck, just some advice reception (120th) is gonna suck but the rest of basic won’t be as bad. Keep your head down, do what your told, and take notes and you’ll be fine.
Thank you and great timing! This Tuesday I ship out. @@theplaguedoctor4242
I went to Benning over a decade ago. It was quite different, also Infantry Drills were quite more intense. 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. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
God Bless our troops. All of them.
I will be going September 20th, super excited.
good luck lol
I’ll be going tomorrow
have fun with fighting China
I'll be going next summer
Have fun I graduated march 23 it was fun 😊
Glad to see the new generation go through what will be a enjoyably memory that they would remember for their rest of their lives.
These were my Drills lol. SFC Valencia was a beast!!! I have the utmost respect for her. Anytime she did a crazy smoke session on us, she did every exercise that she asked of us, instead of just standing there yelling like some of the other cadre. Shout out to DS Cambell also. One of the few real ones who hasn't drank the kool aid.
Best memory we had 😂 Hurry up🤙🏻😀
Once you get about half way through white phase Basic gets a whole lot smoother as long as you cooperate with your battle buddies and do the right thing. Good luck in your future endeavors 💪
how long is white phase? Am I correct in assuming that it's only the 1-3 weeks of basic?
@@alexp2689 weeks 1-3 are both yellow phase, which is 3 days long, and red phase which is *supposed* to be 3 weeks but your first sergeant can set you back if he decides the company doesn’t deserve a phase up
@@alexp2689it’s after the first 3 weeks so it’s weeks 4-6
@@alexp2689it’s about 3 weeks. Red phase is definitely the worst part and after that you still get smoked by the DS’ and all but not as badly in most cases. They aren’t constantly yelling by that point either
Mi respetos para todos estos jóvenes que Dios me los bendiga mucho yo sé lo que se siente como padre cuando tu hijo está en esos campamentos son muy duro❤
I went through June 93. Different world for sure. They don’t know it but what they are learning translates to being a soldier and a adult. First day was VERY DIFFERENT.
Just got back march 2023.. anyone going soon wish you best you got this.
I had basic training at Fort Leonard Wood in 1967. My DI's were Low Life White Trash Drunks...... Thank God, when I soon found myself in Vietnam, my brother soldiers were there to show me how to stay alive... I enlisted and was RA. (not drafted) I still have life long friends... from back then..
I enlisted in 99. Went to Fort Sill Oklahoma. These drill sergeants were way to nice. They sure didn't call us trainees. Lessons I'll never forget.
shark attacks aren't allowed anymore unfortunately 🙄
@@RaikaNishikino thats messed up . But anyway.
@@RaikaNishikino What the hell is a shark attack
@@RaikaNishikinosomeone I know that came back said that his drill sergeants did a shark attack even though they weren’t supposed to. He went to fort still, as well as I am on the 13th
@@Potts.When did they go to basic?
I was stationed to fort Jackson in 1970, 4th battalion, 2nd brigade, bravo company, celebrated my 24 birthday, taking basic training.
The first 100 yards is honestly an improvement, it teaches that you need to rely on and work together with your unit right out the gate.
still kinda strange they dont drop trainees anymore though
Me and about a bazillion former soldiers would be most incline to disagree with you
@buckmerdoc8860 I'd have to agree. Even the Army's upper echelon has been complaining about the lack of discipline these days. We had unit cohesion, or they dusted the shit out of us, plain, and simple. They didn't give a rats ass, if someone was offended.
For those going into Basic training, you got this and very easy if you have the right mind set
My son graduated from OSUT at Benning this past June. He reported that the Shark Attack is very much still alive. DS confirmed at graduation. So to all the "back in my day" old heads, the Army ain't gone soft. PTSD just starts later than yours. ✊🏾
did he actually describe the shark attack, or did he just go "yeah we had it" just to say he had it?
@@golfery5119 I actually met his DS at Turning Blue ceremony he admitted they were on his ass. My son described being surrounded by 4-5 DSs from the time he arrived at Benning through the beginning of white phase when he f'ed up. Can take it or leave it.
They have definitely gone soft. We wouldn't have gotten to the point these recruits have, without getting the living hell dusted out of us.
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.
Graduated back in October 2022, the drill sergeant in glasses, DS Jackson, was one of my drill sergeants, one of the best drill sergeants I had.
Just went through bct at Jackson. It was so light tbh. Way easier than I thought it was gonna be
@@blauno2099 I just graduated from Jackson august 10th. I’m now at fort eustis for ait
I actually like this better than the other videos. The drill sgts aren't as quiet here.
Very weird comment 👎🏿
@@treyd6551 That sounds like a YOU problem
@@treyd6551 do you want them to be quieter?
I get you. People always act like Army is super soft when they see those videos. Glad they show throwing stuff and yelling because people think it doesn’t exist anymore
How much quieter can they be? The freaking Coast Guard training is harder than the Army training at this point.
Basic training has changed tremendously since I went through it AT FORT KNOX IT WAS TOUGHER AND HARD BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. NOW IM A VETERAN KEEP IT UP. GLAD TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION GRADUATING FROM US ARMY BASIC
Damn, fucking excited but so scared too. I've worked dead end jobs my whole life, and in recent times fell on some hard shit. Need to sort my life out. Going 11B, recruiter already got my papers and my fingerprints are done, just waiting for my GED Math test, hate that shit, never was good with numbers, take it on the 17th. If and hopefully WHEN I pass I head to the readiness program at Jackson, and off to Moore for basic. Can't wait. But man am I scared.
Good luck battle buddy. PFC wang here I’m one of the soldiers here you’ll be going to fort Bennings. I have no clue about osit but for basic you got this. Just take it one day at a time once u get past red phase it’s so much easier. Dogs out
Good shit 12BangBang out
You got this!
I love our United States Army
As a Ft Benning Alum from the early 80’s this looks like a Cluster F
Deal with it. Im a vet as well and after 20 years of losing wars 60 if you count Nam people should be happy anybody wants to serve in this sham of a military at all. That's why rates are down 40%.
As an Army veteran myself, this does look like a complete "cluster F". What do you expect from the ultra-woke Democrat "military" where they are more concerned with "pronouns" than combat effectiveness? I went to BASIC at Fort Knox, then AIT at Fort Rucker. I also refuse to call Fort Rucker (or Hood, Polk, and others) by their virtue signalling Biden freak-0-crat names.
@@MarkWongMD I would still take our military over Russia's any day.
@@vedder10 Sure but that's not what I was saying. Tired of these 80s guys disrespecting modern vets when they didn't have to serve in this currently messed up era. It's harder than ever today to be a soldier with social media anyone who signs up should be commended.
@@MarkWongMDyou are a legend I'm 15 and the military always seemed cool to me still planning on joining soon
Haha, I was in 3-60th B co, these drill Sargents went east on these trainees compared to what we did. Still a good example of what basic looks like at fort Jackson! Nice video!
Mis mas merecidos respetos para todos este mundo necesita personas como ustedes fuertes y valientes nos hacen sentir muy orgullosos hombres y mujeres Dios los bendiga a todos use que lo ban a lograr 🙏🙏♥️♥️😍😍💪💪
2010 age 31 and detoxing from serious opiate addiction. Basic was a trip lol. Usually the old guy laughing at the DS comments since at that age i wasnt phased. 8 yesrs later 1 deployment and now MEB and home
Can't help but contrast my own experiences in basic in '96, as my father did when he went in '70. I supposed that's natural. But, the only thing that really matters happens at 28:53.
C co 1-13 October 2020 graduate from Ft Jackson. BCT during COVID was an absolute nightmare. If your bunkmate or someone around you got the 'rona, guess what... youll likely be a recycle with them even if you dont have it. There were people who spent six months in basic. It was crazy
Congrats Combat Infantry Soldiers Kick ass & take names is ours motto🐍🫡
I have 39 days left in the United States Army. This will be my last Independence Day being in the army marking exactly 247 years of indepedence to the day from tyrannical great britian.

Relaxin’ Jackson! Good memories were made for me here! Will NEVER forget Basic. Hooah
I went through Ft Jackson in '77. First thing I noticed, no cattle trucks....buses, must be nice. If you're going through basic you'll deal with it better if you understand the whole point is to break you of the civilian habits that'll get you killed. This looks fairly tame to me than what i remember
They've broken off from the Shark Attack. They started this year or so ago.
They ain't showing the fuck fuck games my drills loved to play😂
@@AJnoBlok6996They can't even use those bad words anymore!
@@stanleyquick69221:27 drill sergeant literally telling this dude he’s gonna “fuck him up”.
I went to basic training at Fort Knox KY back in 1989’ and had a blast (did basic and AIT at Fort Knox), tank mechanic school was right down the street from my basic training barracks building. 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.
that was way too smooth. when i got there they were smoking tf out of us right of the bus 😂
This is the first year they aren't doing that anymore m no more shark attack and they replaced it with this first 100 yards teamwork exercise
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
Looks like the Drill Sergeants are afraid of offending somebody, such soft voices and patience. Not quite how I remember Fort Jackson in 1981. It was a lot louder and everyone doing push ups. "Thank You Drill Sergeant for conditioning my weak mind and weak body" That was the way you asked for permission to get up. I'll remember that phrase for the rest of my life.
I know a sister her name is Cat from Vietnam she's now serving in the US Army at Fort Jackson
They seem much nicer than I remember when I went through Basic at Benning in 2006.
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.
4:21 Drill Sergeant Jackson was one of mine when I went through! Great Drill Sergeant looked up to him a lot, was a wealth of knowledge!
He looks exactly like DS Kirby
They never have videos of benning or knox. Its always relaxing jackson.
It’s not quite the famous shark attack but it’s still pretty good. I like how the first thing they see is a body of a stretcher. This drives home the fact that this isn’t a game
I ship out may 6 and I’ve never been away from home by myself I’m trying to prepare myself mentally I’m physically fit for this
Parris Island / 1974. It was a little different. Godspeed to these young recruits.
Parris Island 1997 1st Battalion Delta Co. I don't even know what the hell I'm even watching here. The whole part 1 of this video is WTF. Those DI's need to get some volume and so does those recruits. Not one of them was screaming.
Basic training : the easiest thing you doing in your career, if you going through infantry you going to love it
Basic training is that fun thing you never want to do again
My God. Even the Drills seem weaker. My drills were the most physically imposing people I’ve ever met. This is a picnic.
You're looking at one class, have some respect, what was your MOS?
My husband is one. You have zero clue what it’s like via this video.
Anyone who’s going out. I was in Fort Jackson South Carolina bravo 3/13 Infinity regiment. And yeah that was hard on us, but it wasn’t hard to complete and pass everything. It’s about how much you want it, and I kiss basic training. Graduated March 31, and went to AIT Fort Lee/ Fort Greg Adams and graduated there may 31 From 266 Bravo Quartermaster Corps 2023 and I’ll do it all over again
Been with British and Gurhkas infantry course... the instructors are clear and firm. No yelling. The trianee like me deceloped respect to other and self in short time.
I went through boot camp back in 1982. We didn't have knee-pads and marched with 35 lb butt-packs.
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
You walked? We had to run everywhere.
1:25 get ‘‘em drill! I had to turn my volume up but you told him exactly what he needed to hear😂😂😂
Definitely a lot different from my era.
Why is that?
Watching BCT videos is strange. I'm going to be an NCO soon. This was me three years ago. How time flies.
this looks way calmer than i thought
Its not the marines
They no longer do shark attacks as soon as they get off the bus so it's. Abita more calmer and more focused on teamwork. Plus, they aren't going to show you the bad parts of the instructors
Basic training 1980 the drill sargeant called me asshole, I took it personal for about 3 seconds, he called all of Us assholes 😂we did pt on our combat boots, at the end we loved our drill sargeant like our fathers.
I love seeing the difference between 2004 and now relaxin Jackson is where I did my basic, but am I the only one that noticed that the guy at 2 minutes was not a 1st Sergeant?
For those shipping off to basic training, BCT is about attention to detail. When your drill sergeant says half right face make sure you don’t move and be still as possible and sound off with a loud and thunderous “Can’t smoke a rock drill sergeant!” This shows that you are paying attention and that you’ve read your study material your recruiter gave you. When marching to and from the dfac make sure you leave your weapon secured in your bay because your not allowed to be out in public with it, a lot of trainees make the mistake of bringing it and get smoked for it, but if you don’t bring yours you won’t have to do push-ups, just make sure to sound off with a loud and thunderous “can’t smoke a rock drill sergeant!” And you’ll be excused from smoke sessions.
And don’t forget about talking back to DS’, they like that because it shows independence, maturity, and the ability to make one’s own decisions.
And above all, move SLOWLY at all times so the drill sergeants know you are paying attention to details, lol.
I went through basic in the fall of 1984. I'm a proud Army Veteran and I see that now the Drill Sgt's are way too soft. Before going to basic, make sure you are physically fit, and mentally prepared. Make sure you can run and have upper body strength before shipping date.
Just so you know, its not the DSs fault that they are soft. It is the Army that has made it virtually impossible to be the DS that they all want, and need, to be. I am a former DS in this new Army and can tell you from experience.
Went thru in 87 and this is way different 😮
the drill sergeants havent gotten soft, they really wish they could push harder. its just part of the new smart warfare vs strong warfighter ideology. i prepped for basic by running 5ks with dumbells in a backpack, doing multiple sets of 100 push ups, and practically getting married to a pull up bar. however, in basic i never had to run more than 2 miles in a day, only once did we reach a 40 count while in front leaning rest, and you only needed to do one pull up to pass your pt test! plenty couldnt pass their final pt test, but got their patches anyway....pathetic
DSs are not being soft. They are following the TRADOC guidance or 356 regulation. If something goes wrong: they will get in trouble. Things are beyond their control...
This is what they allowed them to post lol
This is me, 2025. I’m preparing in many ways. Physically, Mentally, and my education. I need to touch up my subjects but still, That should be easy in the time I have. It just getting myself physically and mentally there.
Best military drill I've ever seen
I leave for this place on the 24th i hope i can get through the physical stuff in super skinny but I'll do my best
I just shipped out to ft jackson a couple minutes ago, on the plane heading to columbia, South Carolina in a few and then heading to the base, wish me luck
I went through basic in 1976 at Ft. Gordon Ga. every drill sergeant I had was in Vietnam.

Those Swiss seats from the rappel tower were a nut cruncher for sure
Be safe and thank you.
I'm about to rejoin the army after being out for 7 years. I have to re do basic training sadly. I went through September 11th 2012. This seems a lot easier than when I first came through
At around 12:32 you will see some of the most incredible Drills to exist running that repel wall. So much experience and love to share for their SITS. I can’t speak for many but I do know at the time this filmed, with this group, it was a very well oiled machine. (Yes bias as my husband is one of them…🤷🏻♀️) these are Combat veterans with vast amounts of experiences in war. If you had the blessing to learn from them, be thankful. Yes some DS suck and don’t care. However, a lot more care and want to make you stronger. The job is rough and demanding. Just look into DS suicides right now. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. Be thankful in the world we live in currently people are even signing up.
Sorry. Knowing all the DS suicides right now and seeing all the pure hating and trash talk about the DS in this makes me sad. Also defensive due to my man being in this. knowing all he was done for this country in 16 years and 3 deployments…we won’t even talk about the documentary hornets nest but if you want to know…Amazon prime I believe…There’s not many more qualified. He’s one you want to learn from if you want to live.
1:25, if you listen closely, you can hear the art of intimidation 😂😂
