- This video was shot before Covid-19 and has been cleared by PAO. All footage was captured by myself during my time as Cadre on Sand Hill. Victory Tower is truly terrifying for many of these trainees as they learn to trust themselves and their equipment.

From A Marine: Many feel the fear when doing this, you're not alone. Completing the task by safely reaching the bottom is what makes you fearless. I was an 18 year old scared straight boy at boot camp when I did this. Many of your fellow recruits are whether they admit it or not. just encouragement for those enlisting.
I’m 12 and love to doing all this on rock climbing I wonder what it’s like to actually do this
Thank you, enlisting next month
after this we repelled the cliffs by geramos grave 1980 we made our own swiss seat
You tried dissing your fellow brother at arms; I was 11Bravo, also, in Afghanistan; I know people that saved some of you marines, we are all on the same team, definitely trying to save this fucked up Nation bc,of the liberal and the political fucks that are trying to screw this nation
Yeah, u guys don't this
You can definitely see the fear in their faces and how shaky they are. I would shit my pants too but it’s all about mindset and trusting the process! It looks easy . After a few times you get used to the feeling and make bigger and clean jumps
Well said!
It aint jack. I did it. The whole basic other then them hazing me and abusing me 10x worse then everyone. Well other then the abuse it was fine. You just focus on the task. It's simple. I did the sniper crawl all that faster then my entire company all that. Top tier baby wooooo.
wait until some of these guys get to airborne school. Not uncommon for someone to literally piss themselves.
I was 17 when i went to Fort Benning.. I remember doing this and man i was nervous especially at the fact as im hanging off the wall that the drill sargeant was telling me my knot was tied wrong...also made me recite the soldiers creed before repelling... good times
I went through bootcamp with an overweight guy who had to get a waiver for it with a last name "Pile" just remember that if you ever have a hard time going through basic.
My son's best friend is there right now..my second son pvt. Heagy. Thank you all for what you are doing... ♥️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸#armystrong
Awesome!! 🇺🇸
@@FitOneTech do you do these videos there often? I ♥️ watching the training they do 💚
@@jenng.3061 I do have a lot of videos I need to post. I’d also suggest following the company’s Facebook page that he is at as they will post updates too! But I do have more content coming soon!
@@FitOneTech I definitely follow the Facebook page ♥️🤞♥️ I look forward to your videos ♥️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
And now? Благослови его Господь, 😇❤ God bless you mom with your son. 💙💛 ;( ✌
Having been one of the trainees during this exact cycle this was terrifying but really fun after the first correct jump
jacobs tower was the worst thing for me in bct lol this was fun just leaning into it was the scary part
@@colemanwalsh7477 Jacobs tower was equally as scary I guess but our DS’s were awesome about making us think they were gonna cut the rope if we didn’t jump
@@natsudragneeljaydee1055 haha my lead drill sargent wasentthe one on top of the jacob ladder for me but a diffrent one of the secound platoon he wasent as harsh he just said do you want to pass this or give up in a stern voice and the guy who hooked me up on the wasent even a drill sarg for my bct compny he basicaly said the same the same thing but less stern XD but to me id rappel any day i hate being in heights with no teather it freaks me out so for me even now i have to do the jacob ladder again later today secound time since basic but it still makes me nervouse even tho ill be fine and do it like last time and not show as much fear as i did in BCT telling my drill sarg im scared of heights lol. tho if my head drill sarg was on the rappel he would of lol he was a mean bastard but he should be thats his job and he was a combat vetran in the invastion of iraq and was a marine before he reenlisted in the army after his contract ended scary dude lol man was a giant XD but im proud he was my head drill for me we where 1st platoon
@@natsudragneeljaydee1055 lastly it wasent that i couldent jump it was just the part were you have to lean back against your nature i did fine and actually had fun doing it and wanted to do it again the jacob ladder oh fuck no XD if done it befor as akid but not at that height heights get me so i did great took me tree jumps lol
Just watching this is uneasy especially if you hate high heights. Looking forward to enlisting later this year.
Get some
I was at Fort Benning in the 1980's for basic training and AIT. They didn't have the eagle tower. Of course things do change over the years.
Yeah with the recent changes to 22 weeks, adding the forge, changing the shark attack, it definitely is different! Thanks for your service and leading the way for them and myself!
@@FitOneTech the 1980's sure is a long time ago. Practical everything with basic training and AIT has changed so much over the years.
I was scared asf to do this when I did eagle tower, got stationed at Fort Campbell with the 101st and passed air assault school and got to rappel out of black hawks and chinooks. I love it now and finally got over my fear of heights
Climbing up that damn ladder was the worst part of this day.
I always say, the obstacles when you're not hooked in are always way worse lol
I remember in southern Germany cfb Lahr the repelling tower was open to all when not in use . On weekends we would go out there and do it over and over for fun and experiment. Australia craw was one .
Im mentally preparing for basic right now. I ship out in late janurary. Wanna get a leg up on what I will be doing. I feel like i learned a good amount from watching videos.
I just graduated basic a couple weeks ago, Basic is going to be mentally very hard and there will be times you’ll want to quit but just remember everything ends eventually. Remember the reason you joined. You got this man.
@@xCas thanks bro. I have no second thoughts or doubts. But it will still be hard.
@@sharkquisha3407 I just graduated 5 days ago bro lmao I can actually see my battalion in this video Bravo 3-47 got any questions I’ll be happy to help
@@otfcv1233 yeah. I heard you get sundays off. Is that true.
@@sharkquisha3407 yeah bro after first 3 days every Sunday is a chill day and you don’t have to wake up too early and you also get your phones for 30 minutes or longer depending on how strict your company commander is
i was 19 years old when i did this. i was pretty afraid of heights back then.
I, as a civilian, was able to work my up to a 100ft vertical rappel. It's definitely scary. But once you get the hang of it's pretty fun.
It's easy. Lean back focus on the task not the ground.
That’s how I did it. It was nothing to me
Wish there were more videos of Apache Armor Division. My son is in boot camp there and haven't seen much of them or him.😢
Do you follow his Company on Facebook? They would post their footage there if they post it. That’s where I posted footage for my company. I also took a lot more than the usual person that updates .
@@FitOneTech Yes my husband does follow on their facebook page. My son is in blue phase and we haven't seen anything in weeks. Not what we were told in the begining. They told us they would post so we could see their progress. Thank you for responding. I appreciate it.☺
@@MamaBear6684 Covid makes it hard to post because of all the limitations . But best of luck! He’s almost done!
@@FitOneTech Thank you☺
Sarnt fisher being sarnt fisher. Funny ass dude. Wasn’t in his plt but always made my day seeing him chew someone out lmao. It’s funny to watch drills get to a soldier.
cool to see DS Wipperfurth .....hell of a storyteller
Bro, who are you? He was there when I was. 2nd Pl A 1-50
Victory Tower? It was called Eagle Tower when I went through in 2017.
You’re correct , think I used the Jackson or Knox name. Thanks for jogging my memory 😂
@@FitOneTech I think Jacksons is Victory. Repelling was fun. It was intimidating at first. But when I finished, I wanted to go again.
Tread well tower😅
Was called the eagle tower when I went through in mid 2019
@@avengerrt6187 when I’m 2017 did you go thru? I was in bravo 1-50 the first half of 2017
The first time I did eagle tower I was a little nervous and made a few mistakes. The second time was during Forge and it was called hammer tower and I went through it like a breeze. Which company is this BTW?
Nice 👍🏻 When we did our forge for our Soldiers it rained both cycles during the forge so we had to scrap the tower the second time. This is A 1-50.
FitOneTech D-Co 3-54 myself just graduated from infantry OSUT
Lane One On Rappel! Lane One On Belay! That day was fun, too bad you could only go through it once.
Absolutely, getting reps in mountains at ranger school was a lot of fun. Just too many trainees to go more than once...
Hey did u guys cross the rope the second part of the tower? They didn’t show or do it in this vid
@@drodriguez3935 I actually have more footage I’m going to upload of the side ropes. I just focused on the tower mainly when recording .
U see the barracks across the road the forest right next to it is called contraband forest if you get delta 3-47 as your company make sure to check it out lmao
They changed it when I was there an 02 there was a rope and a slight incline you had to climb up the rope with a huge ass pad at the bottom just in case you fell... I know I fell on the way down lost a lil skin on my hands trying to grab the rope
At Knox and Jackson they still had the “bunny hill” I’ve used both of those before so I know what you are talking about.
My son Kyl Mendoza is there right now. He was born for this. 46th infentry.
Awesome 👏 👍🏻
Having fear of heights and falling I need to do this to help me be free and I’ll will overcome this. Like David Goggins says do it over and over until u can’t no more
Friend of mine forgot to respond lane one on belay, drill sergeants looked at him for a good 15 seconds until one of them grabbed him by the ach and bumped him into the wall, ahh great times
The eagle tower could be seen from my Bay window.
1st PLT, D-Co 3-47 IN, ITB.
youre 198th, I was in 197th as a trainee.
When did you graduate? I was D Co... 1st platoon 3-47
When you hope beyond a resonible doubt that you tied your harness rope correctly.
Alpha 2/54 💪🏽
Marcos Hernandez Delta 2/54 💪🏻
Delta 2-54 graduated February 5th.💪
Good ole alpha 1-50! Hell yeah
I just went through alpha 1-46 hell yeah?
Do you still use trip wires.
DI is too nice
It’s sort a trust thing that is being built this day. Also for safety purposes they don’t scream or make them any more frazzled than the height makes them already.
I don't remember the mat when I was there in 2001.
I went to fort benning during this COVID pandemic. We did this during red phase like week 1 or 2 not OSUT.
Awesome 👏 good job getting it done?
@@FitOneTech Thanks man, yea they had a lot of safety so it actually wasn’t that bad
@@queloqjohnny4839 did they really take away shark attacks
Yea, they really did. They replaced it with the 100 yards. The 100 yards is the lamest thing...the preparation for it was trash since it’s new they might make it better. All that happens is they play some noise in the background and you carry some equipment down they yell at you a little but they yell at the group as a whole...they do a little introduction after with some guns smoke grenades some tracer bullets that was the cool part, but we didn’t get smoked badly during...it was day 1 training more like a cool introduction. Remember these drill sergeants hate some of the changes as much as you so a lot of them still might say fuck it get in your face yell and pretty much shark attack you without a shark attack... so many more rules so they try to get around it still. My company was mostly SF and ranger and 95% of them been to combat so they definitely didn’t treat us soft. No shark attack but they still got in ur face and smoked the shit out of us often. It’s still a good experience just make sure u don’t get an integrated unit I had an all male unit & go infantry. Really depends on your company/platoon ur in.
how did you like 30th AG?😏😂😂 hardest part of basic/OSUT right
My cousin joe Vasquez is there right now.
Nice 👍🏻!
3-47 right across the street
I was alpha 3-47 2plt SAVAGES
But unfortunately I gotta go back to basic 😭
B 3-47 2nd Plt War Dogs 2001 here.
That’s is scary
It definitely is scary going off the ledge the first time! Once you do it so much and understand the mechanics it truly is easy!
I shit my pants 😂
@@joaoruiz180 same haha
wth when i was in bct we dident get to do the small practice tower first. but i did fine had fun on my way down worst part was leaning back into it cause i have a heights but ik you suspended so i jacobs tower was the worst thing in bct for me lol but i did it
👍👍
❤️
I love you kiddo! Chase Rappe... Mom
Get it done! ✅
Agh that didn’t look so bad from the bottom, but the angle from the top looks horrific.
It’s not the rappelling, not the rope ladder, not the wire walk, but the goddamn rope crawl that did me in. Not fun falling into that net.
That’s my old barracks across the street. Fuck 30AG, Fuck SandHill and fuck stairway to heaven! Aug 2017 - C219
No Swiss Seats?
No, not sure the exact reason we switched away as I used Swiss seats multiple times , but I assume it was something to do with safety and speed. Trying to get 240 trainees through in a day can cut it close.
@@FitOneTech Understood and Thanks.
I just saw drill Sgt Haverkamp
HARGER!!! it’s Franklin dude! Remember me? 207!
My DS kicked me off the wall and had to catch my line cause it wasn't secured right
If you are 11b and want info. Lmk, I’ve been infantry for 7&half years. SSG Tucker, maybe one day y’all be in my squad. Platoon. Company.
@Acidic Wheelz ahh embrace the suck. It’ll be worth it.
Yeah i want info. Is meeting with tge recruiter a long meeting?
@@samuelestevez6535 It can be. You go to see one and they’ll talk to you and get to know you before presenting options.
Can you check 1st sgt Jeffrey Williamson for fighting me Bernice long the daughter of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
Ayyyy I see 3-47 in the distance lol. I’m there... now...
Nice! what week are you in?
FitOneTech We just finished everything. Finally... 😭
@@MM-qt8gz what company? I was in Bravo 3-47
@@collins4984 I was in Delta and Echo.
This is the one I’m probably gonna hate
It seems intimidating but you get a little practice on the mini tower to understand the concept and once you trust your equipment and yourself your good! I used to be hesitant at first too but I just can hook up and go now.
Myself and most guys in my unit felt that all the fear goes away when you get into the L position or past the wooden bar. The hardest part is climbing up the ladder where you're not attached to any safety. My hands sweat just thinking about that damn ladder.
Lol they said i did it like a pussy after I did it. Good times.
They called me that on my way down the first time.
My son joey there
Awesome!

Oh man , i repel for a living as a cell tower tech. Im going to kill this exercise
🐞🌠🍀
My drill sergeant told me he hoped I fell to the ground and I was on profile while doing this, what company is this....soft
Funny how every has to make their training “so much harder right?”… this is 1-50 and they don’t yell cause of the camera 😉
@@FitOneTech harder no. More aggressive yes. We were there to be turned into killers nothing less
Looks easy
I don't think it's a good idea to be aggressive with guys who are repelling for the first time. They can break their neck if they screw up.

Definitely staged, they toned down the encouragement cus of the cameras
I mean “staged” isn’t necessarily the right word but yes , when I filmed they usually did tone it down, also I selected the footage and had to go through and throw out footage that was “too much”
These guys are all tiny and have no explosive power. Terrible, awkward, weak. Our enemies are watching! Even the drill sgts look feeble
Calm down high speed, they are 17-18 year old kids…. It never ceases to amaze me the keyboard warriors who talk crap
@@FitOneTech I did my time, hero. Sounds like weak cope to me
@@operatorblack you’re watching a video of recruits. These guys aren’t going out on special op mission, you can’t compare these guys to seasoned military personnel.
