@Hammerschlägen M The water came up from the ground which was covered with red sand, and it basically acted as a natural filter. Best water on earth and cold too!
I did snag up a lot of food and "Pogey Bait" for my guys in REFORGER 88 in Germany hosted by the 1st Cavalry. I snagged up T-Rats from Pound Cake, Turkey Dinners, Beef Stew, etc. I also managed to get sleeping bags and other TA-50 items. My platoon appreciated it. My LT and Platoon Sergeant saw me as "Crap Shoot" from Kelley's Heroes who was a scavenger of stuff. My platoon chain of command would make "Requests" of items to pass Brigade and Battalion Inspections by contacting and making deals with sources from other Infantry, Armor, or Engineer units in the Brigade or Division. Trade, borrow, or steal and bring it back if possible with vehicle parts or POL. Never with actual weapons but for weapons parts to complete a lay out for inspection. I only did this so my platoon and company would pass inspections and not get fucked over and get punished. I did get a couple of AAMs for my task as to prove efficiency. My chain of command knew me as a scavenger and sometimes a thief for doing such "Requests". My C.O. , XO, Supply Sergeant, and Platoon would ask me if I can make it happen? The Army forces me to think on how I can get over this inspection and not get fucked up. If I fail in my mission the company could get fucked up and everybody has to pay for fucking up. Very bad for my situation. I had to plan out for every raid if it involves "Borrowing Equipment" from other units. It involves every part of my Infantry training to pull shit off like this. That is why the 5 paragraph operations orders, rehearsals, and executions had to be precise in order not to get caught or be detected. The US Army makes you think of evil shit that your are trained to do with single minded ruthlessness. No Bullshit either.
The FTX I'll always remember was at Ft. Richardson, Ak. It was about 40 below zero and we did a 12 mile road march through the snow to get to our bivouac site.
We traded cigarettes for most everything. My 4 friends, except one, did not smoke. I found that we could get an extra ration by applying for a special excess smoker card. I think we got 12 cartons each month and paid $.90 for each. Even got through the border to Luxemburg and stayed at a nice hotel just trading for both the room and meals. Where were you stationed, I was at Kaiserslautern.
Done a Lot of time in the Field!!! First time was Ft. Hunter Leggett California....My best times were spent in the Field!!! At that time, it was Sleeping on the ground, no tents, no port A potties. ( Dig a hole) Then when time came to go back in, in the back of a noisy Duecenhalf, go turn in weapons, get released and head to the Shopette for Beer!!!
Went from Ft. Carson to Germany in 1985 from mid January to end of February for Reforger. Went to Germany in January 1986 to March 1988 to be stationed. Spent lots of time in Graf and on border in Wildflicken.
I was in Germany from 56-58 and we had many alerts. Some only lasted for one day while the longest was 17. We had 3 separate areas where we were dugin and everything went below grade and was covered. I spent many a night sleeping in a ma-duce position sleeping on fresh cut grass. The only problem that I recall was when it rained and chow turned to soup and flooded the mess kit. What was really funny was that the local German girls all knew on what day was the alert scheduled. I dont recall anyone really complaining and we even had beer delivery at night but I wont say how that was accomplished.
Don’t forget hands across America at JRTC looking for a SINCGARS radio at night on the last day for 4-5 hours just so S6 can final say “we found it in the conex back on main post.” 🙄3ID......
ADVON was usually the ones who set up. As a 42A and 88M with my latest enlistment I worked a lot. Was not in the TOC as 42 as a female and tpu deploy you're usually needed to do female searches if doing a TCP downrange. Three deployments and I think I worked in the R5 section for six months than I was a TC or Driver. FTX sucks a** but nothing sucks more than NTC. Thank you for your service BTW. My embrace the suck experience was at YTC and the BN did not get proper permission to be in a certain area and we dug holes and set everything up and my BN was fined by the EPA for destruction of protected plants.

NO WAY YOU MADE IT ON CREATOR ON THE RISE ON THE TRENDING TAB!!!!! I would of never though they would have put a military youtuber on their normally its makeup and slime LOL, good stuff bro
When I was stationed at Fort Riley, I hate going out to the field during the winter months. The summer was ok, but you have to deal with those Midwest thunderstorms. And those mosquitoes will drive you crazy.
Minley FN wrong, we were in the field most of the time. You prolly a 14 Weeker maybe that’s why! I was in 22 week and we spent damn near every week in the field. Coulda just been my company too idk.
Samer Dawood don’t worry bud. I took my asvab not too long ago. It’s not too hard. Just think your problems through carfully. I ship to Fort Jackson on the 16th for 92Y. Best of luck stranger. You got this.
We were in the field and when we were not, we were deployed. My 1SGT called us LRRP, like his unit in Vietnam. So we marched everywhere. The only field problems I enjoyed were the ones where we were the Op For!!! Just a heads up for those at "Rumor Control".... Area X and East Range SUCK!!!!
Just got out of the army, 7 years 31b MP. Best feeling ever is to get out. Think hard hefore joining the army. A lot if people join thimking something tottly different . Dont do it
Germany in the 80s was a field problem, at Ft. Carson it was "Going Down Range". Funny how those two phrases come up. The guys from Korea who came from 2nd ID it means going downtown. Stateside and Germany guys "Field Problem" means training out in the field. Units like the 82nd Airborne and other Airborne units to include Light Infantry call it an FTX (Field Training Exercises). After 9/11/2001 from Afghanistan to Iraq and numerous deployment. Being "Down Range" means going or being in combat. I first heard of it when I got to Iraq in 2006-08 and after. Just funny how those terms and what to become meanings after 2008. I used to laugh silently at guys overhearing them at the food court at Ft. Lewis and Ft. Irwin who were veterans of Iraq and the Stan. Like "Yeah! If you go "Down Range"! LOL!!. It was a different meaning back in my day in the 80s. Going to the field or FTX is more appropriate. Right now. I don't care but relive the memories I had back in the day as a veteran... Great topic. Brought back many memories. LOL!!!
hey if you can get on opfor in the field do it. my unit requires for persons on opfor to get at least 30/40 targets on rifle and a pt score of 250. units may vary but its fun af to do!!!!
Chaos you have changed me I was thinking about the navy But, you have made me change My mind thank you -Arsonist Can you do 13A please i want to know more about it
@@kingkeenbean9238 We had War games and were Freezing in foxholes, It was in the Winter Also before going out we stayed in these old WW2 barracks, my dad went to ft. Chaffee for his Basic training, long ago, so I used to wonder if maybe it was the same barracks He was in! It was cold in a few places I've been, but Korea is the coldest winter I ever experienced! I don't know if ft. Chaffee is still open or not! I'm sure it's a bit different now at JRTC , I was talking about over 25 years ago. I have heard Fort Polk is really Hot and Humid in the Summer, but I never made it to there.
@@BETTERWORLDSGT The Cavalry is thinking on sending part of the brigade to either Poland or Finland for JRTC instead of Polk. Don't know what to expect if that happens.
@@kingkeenbean9238 I've been sent to a lot of places, good and bad over the years before. I would love to see either one of those places, think it would be really interesting. You would like it I bet. My favorite place was Panema, I had a great time on the base (Ft Sherman) and in the Jungle for a month. (JOTC) I've done 7 rotations at NTC too, never liked that one much .
When the soldiers need to be up in the middle of the night but don't leave for several hours, are they forbidden from going back to sleep at anytime b4 then?
And went to NTC before I left for Korea and the actual going to the box wasn’t bad but the leaving part was omg😂 it sucked the civilians act lik assholes about everything
Make sure to have a platoon Sgt that loves his family. Mine didn't and we were out in the field for every weekend so he didn't have to spend time with his wife. Go out on Thurs. come back on Tues. clean on Wed. And do it all over again.
Don't do what I did lol was going to be a 91J, but I let them talk me into the infantry... love the infantry, but I spend way too much time in the field

We found a natural spring when we were in the field once while stationed at Fort Carson. The cleanest, coolest water that I ever drank!
Loved Carson. Was a FO an spent many a day at the impact range.
Im at Carson now. Send me the grid to that natural spring
@@PalaciosD98 That was 37 years ago. I can't quite remember.

We called it a Field Problem. Went to a field, and it was a problem.
That's the same thing my units called it too, except for Team Spirit or our NTC rotation.

@Bobby Brown been there myself to. To 2 years and 8 months when I was stationed in Germany
Ok, now I’m kind of hoping that the next MOS you do will be some kind of Army agriculture specialty.
At fort bliss and absolutely hate the field but definitely have some funny moments with friends out there
1996 (if I remember correctly) 2nd ID at Ft. Lewis - we did 180 days in Yakima Training Center. Low value training and great for unit morale!
No camping for me! Did enough of "the field" for me!!

If ur going to infantry osut, prepare to be in the field probably 75 percent of the time. :)
you are in the field like 10% of the time at OSUT, when you are in the real army its like 75
