Don't throw your'e duffle bag on the ground, it will get dirty. Every green horn is thinking at this moment, " did i screw up, it's too late, it's over, now im going to die, how can i get out of this, these drill sargents are going to going to chew me up like a good steak, im burger meat now and i miss my mom. These sharks went thru it too. 😊
I’ve seen new basic training videos and they do not look like this anymore which sucks. There’s such lack of discipline in today’s soldiers. It’s sad how weak they are!
ah this looks familiar haha. except I was one of the unlucky bastards that wore the new (at that time) acu shit uniform. it wasn't so much the shark attack that messed with me as much as the sim grenades the drill sergeants were tossing near us. i literally thought shit was blowing up and had a nervous twitch for a day or two. good times. D 1-50 graduated 2009
This is kinda close to how Basic Combat Training Brigade was... Drill Sgts were still beaten the shit out of people in 2000 when I went through though.. 1 guy named Larson weighed like 320+ pounds fat flabby guy but was solid 6 feet tall and the DS started calling him snuffalufagus from sesame st. Cause he moved slow and shuffle. DRILL SERGEANT FITCH DID A WALLOCKER INSPECTION WHILE WE WERE ALL DOING TRAINING 1 DAY.....caught him with donuts in His wall locker that his snuck out of the chow hall, DS Fitch beat the shit out of em for it. Slamming ole snuffaluffagus around lime a fuckin rag doll slamming em left right left into wall lockers and bunk... and then every single one of us got Smoked for 45 minutes because he stole from the chow hall.... It's getting soft over the years.
I went in 03 towards winter time then stationed at Kelley Hill. Was in a bad car accident in 2004 and medically retired. Injury screwed up my memory and haven't seen or talked to anyone since. Sgt. Major sent a few of us to S3 115th Can Do. Went to basic with Paul Anderson no relation. At S3, i can only remember a Perez a short guy, and a big guy named Garcia. If anyone can help me find these people i would appreciate it. My time was cut short with my accident.
We never left the sand pit for 11 hours,covered in sweat and caked vomit...That is Sand Hill notice the nice dorms ,we were Harmony church wooden barracks...Sand Hill pft ...
I went through Echo 1/19 in 2004. We didn’t even get a bus to sand hill we walked from 30th AG and then did crab walks around the company area for a few hours lol
If you think that was stressful you should've been in Iraq in 04. In April 04 we took 131 KIA and who knows how many WIA, suicides, and accidental deaths.
Must be nice to have a bus. Infantry Basic in 06 we were loaded onto a cattle car and packed in like sardines. On top off these drill sergeants were mellow compared to my experience.
Woodland Green BDU’s and black boots make the best looking Drill Sergeant uniform. I was Fort Benning OSUT Infantry School 1985 2nd Brigade Harmony Church. A-9-2
I joined the Army back in 2015. Don't get me wrong, it was difficult when I went through and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. But, I wish I could have been part of the Army during this time, especially with the amount of passion and love I have for the Army! I am willing to die for my country and any of my Soldiers under my command. Unfortunately, the current standard of the Army is weaker than it used to be. We need to bring back many of the things that became "phased out". At this time, I plan on staying in as long as the Army will allow me to!
I went through 14 week OSUT at Benning in 2001, April-Aug. I will go on the record and say that it was harder than Ranger School, which I later graduated from and went straight through without recycling in 2003. FYI - 82nd Pre Ranger was the hardest thing I ever experienced in my life, winter class in early 2003, absolutely hellacious
Pure nonsense. I was in the Army from 1992 to 2016. The Army is not weaker today than it was when I was in. Things are done differently, but it is still strong and effective. Some methods deployed in different eras could be deemed dehumanizing and not create individuals with dignity or respect. It's a misconception to deem any adjustments or changes to training and receiving new soldiers as being weaker. Nah, it's just more effective and reasonable to do things a little different.
I remember being in the bus when we first pulled into Fort Benning and the Drill Sergeant started yelling that we have 5 seconds to get off his bus and we already wasted 3 of those seconds. That’s when I started thinking why did I volunteer for this. 😂😂
YES DRILL SGT!!!!!! I was at Ft.Dix in 84 Delta co. 4th bn 5 training brigade. Bdu' ,jump boots and pistol belts,
5:16 Okay the Drill Sergeants banging on the windows had me completely tearing up. 😂
"GET OFF MY BUS AND DO PUSH-UPS" C/1/1 1981
I was in B 2/47 and I graduated early April 2004, so this would have been the class immediately following mine. How funny to come across this video.
Why did drill sergeants stop wearing the belt over their blouse?
My Drill Sergeants didn't behave like these when I went through Basic Combat Training in 1974 on Ft. Jackson.
Fuck yes, I went Fort Knox basic in 04
You brought it, you carry it! I remember well. Class of 92, winter term.
Ft benning 2005 😂 only thing different is we had those awful acu uniforms lol
swofford!

These drill sergeants are a real piece of shat

Ah yes Ft. Benning School for wayward Boys. I know it well. B1-1 Sand Hill Campus Aug-Nov 1980

The yellow color on that one bus makes it look like a school one.
Why this attitude and rude behavior from the officers?
I was there, E 2/58 4TH PLT Bushmasters. Anyone happen to have anything from that cycle would have been February to October 2004?
The flashbacks be flashing 🤣🤣
They need to put the draft back on too many young people doing nothing but drugs and lazynis
The drill sgt's told us we had 30 seconds to get off the bus and 20 of them were gone. Good times in ft sill.
Was a early 90s soldier never regretted it things have definitely changed since my day
I miss the black boot Army! E 2/54, summer 1998
Anyone else end up missing this

Not a cellphone in sight, just people living in the moment.

Proud to be of the BDU generation, basic 2004…wouldn’t change a thing these men built Soldiers.
Fort Benning Bravo 3/47 dawgpound the good old day 2003
We never left the sand pit for 11 hours,covered in sweat and caked vomit...That is Sand Hill notice the nice dorms ,we were Harmony church wooden barracks...Sand Hill pft ...
Im a former 11c myself but i tell you all now we have a serious threat in Washington DC
That’s what I remember in 2001.
I just went through basic a few months ago, and it was nowhere near this rough when we first arrived. The U. S. Army has indeed gone soft 😢
Thank political correctness infiltrating the military. it's affected all branches even the Marine Corps.

These men are patriots.Joining the military with two wars.God bless them all.

Lol to the "if a Drill Sergeant got in my face, I'd punch him." People after watching this!

Buses. When I was in Benning we had cattle trailers
We stepped off the bus and there was no one there. One DI was down the way just pointing to the quad. Talk about scary. Like....whats down there?
Couple years after I went but close enough, I remember it like yesterday....gives me a hard on....
Ah that first day was just great new friends and they say will have fun when it stops raining 😊😊😊
The drill sargents were so much fun. 2id ft benning march 1961.
This might be worser than prison.

Intense. This is what we need to come back
Damn some of those privates are now master sergeants or sergeant majors now in 2023 if they haven’t ETS’d or sadly passed away
Heart-warming! ❤️
