Ive been an Army DS for a while now, and if I had to recommend this video to anyone, it would be to new recruits before BC. It makes everyones life easier if you come into the Military with at least the ground rules of marching, faces, and rests. Thank you for this informative video.
Just had my first RSP drill weekend for the National Guard and I was so lost. I got it pieced together, but I can clearly see every way I did it incorrectly because of this video. Thanks guys, exactly what I needed.
Same i just did my first day at fire academy and they made us learn these and i felt stupid. What's worse is im lined in the front and the lieutenants and captains definitly noticed my errors. I wish i knew to watch this video before my first day.
Devan Guzman it’s very cold I was there last year in late October and was freezing the whole time, Congrats on the next chapter of your life ARMY STRONG
Nayeli Contreras Honestly, it wasn’t bad. Parts may suck at the time but it really comes down to right time, right place, right uniform, and RIGHT MINDSET. Sure you’ll get smoked quite a bit because of other people or maybe even yourself but just try to think of it as extra PT and it won’t seem as bad. If you want to ask more questions, my Instagram username is the same as my RUclips one
jenna miller it’s good to be nervous but don’t let it get into your head too much! People were way over-stressed during the first few weeks and it only made them get dropped more because they began to forget the simplest things
I'm a senior in high school and I've been doing jrotc all 4 years and I've been on drill, color guard, raiders, and yet with all that drill I've done I still managed to pick up a thing or two from this....who says an old dog can't learn new tricks😎 thanks matt another great video
Was too my friend- 14 lbs in 1 month. You can do it. My recruiter suggested chicken and greens ( sucks after 3 days but lots of cardio/few calories really brings results. I believe in u 👍🏼
Have a paramilitary police academy coming up. It’s one of the toughest in my state. Using this vid to prep me. Thanks Matt! I used to watch your vids but now I pop in once in a while!
@@hanishouse wasn't bad at all....just listen to what you're told and you'll be ok. Never be without your battle buddy and make sure your camelback is always full of water. Good luck!!!
I ship out to basic training August 22nd, 2022, I literally attend one RSP drill then I’m off to training. I’m searching as much videos as I can, and this one is helping a lot, thank you Matt.
just a tip if you are in the guard doing drill, if you are doing the acft and say that your glasses are falling. you might casually get a drill sergeants hand smacked onto your face to shove your glasses up. they may also smudge your glasses in the process
Fort Jackson, November 5th, me too on the running. They put you in a group to build on running- so if you cant, you will. If you can, you will. Long story short, you always can ( run) it just sucks to train
Keep your head up, it’s all a game for the first two weeks the easiest way to leave BCT is to Graduate,look forward to HBL it will boost morale a lot knowing that your going home. Army Strong Good Luck
I wish they had this video before I went in, wouldve saved my life. My battle didint stand at parade rest talking to our first sergeant and lets just say he got smoked lol. So dont be that guy 😂. 1st platoon "Troopers" E CO. 360th.
I'm currently finishing up basic at Ft Jackson but home on Christmas leave. This video would have made my first week there so much better. I really struggled with attention, parade rest, at ease, knowing when to respond etc. I got fucked up my first week😂
Wish you would have uploaded sooner, got back from FLW Missouri about 2 months ago. Get to go to Cuba very soon with my Unit so excited for that. Thanks for your channel, it's very helpful
according to tc 3-21.5 you can only use it to fix yourself after a preperatory command, you cannot use it after the command of execution has been given. For example if you wanted to do a right face but accidentally said left it would sound something like this. "Left!.., as you were,!.. Right!.. Face!" If i'm wrong please correct me but this is a very misunderstood thing in the army, something which even my drill sergeants get wrong. Only reason I know this is because i'm studying for soldier of the month board
I've got two more videos on this topic. But a full blown marching video may not happen since that would be hard to do with what I have as well as I really just want to hit on the basics because there are A LOT of little things that go into D&C
I've been working on it for a few months. My family has a long standing military tradition, so I'm not the best, still need improvement of course. I'm the first one in my family to enlist in any service in 30+ years. A Marine buddy told me about your channel a few months ago and I've been binge watching since😂 I leave for Fort Lostindawoods (Leonard Wood). 12B. Thanks for the help the last few months.
I may have misunderstood. But is this video saying that you can only give resting position command from the position of attention? If so, I don't think that is right, because you can give less restrictive resting position commands when at resting position. By the way, those about faces are very nice and solid.
I’ve been in and around the Army for 10 years and all the positions are so programmed into my mind if someone were to ask me how to do them I might have to think about it a bit but if Someone said those commands in front of me I would be like a secret sleeper assassin activated by a code word.
I have a few questions. I’m going to meps tomorrow for the asvab 1. I’m not completely out of shape I mostly lack stamina and Endurance. Should I be ok going in? 2. I’m currently at around 25% BMI since there doing the tape test. Is that alright for now? I’m still trying to best to lose some weight before I actually leave for bct
Hate to spoil it but you can be overweight and pass basic depends if it’s a combat MOS. Anyone can turn green just show that you are showing work and your good.
I leave in two weeks to bct and I was looking for this information... you read our mind... thank you. Can we get part 2? I love your model 🤣... you are great guys... thanks again
So I know this is very random but could you just throw in a video like when you get to take bathroom breaks 😂 I know you wouldn’t be able to make a whole video on it but could you talk about it sometime... like is it like school and you have to go at certain times or do you get to go whenever
You’ll know, they will tell you throughout the day when you can go. Use every chance you get to go. At night in the barracks after you go to bed you can use it at any point
Well I'm not Matt and I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, however this is what I know. Even if someone who is related to you or is your best friend and is an officer while both in uniform you must salute them. Doesn't matter the relationship. That also goes for being buddy buddy with them. In more public areas, while in uniform you must act professional, however if you are like alone it doesn't really matter.
Hey man I have a question from a different video that you did on not getting injured during basic training. I tore my ACL and meniscus back in 2012 in high school. I had surgery and went through physical therapy and recovered. I read that chances are higher of tearing the same knee or opposite. Would you reccomend someone joining after an injury like that?

when you want a someone to go back to the previous position it is, 'as you were' !
In terms of D and C “As you were” is used to revoke a preparatory command.
according to tc 3-21.5 you can only use it to fix yourself after a preperatory command, you cannot use it after the command of execution has been given. For example if you wanted to do a right face but accidentally said left it would sound something like this. "Left!.., as you were,!.. Right!.. Face!"

I leave in about 2 weeks for BCT, I can’t wait!
I’ve just found this channel, obligatory not from the US, but still interesting in watching this, what is Matt’s rank/paygrade?
I been out of TRADOC over 7 months now. Before leaving for BCT last year to Fort Sill, watched some Matt Ward videos & they were pretty helpful.
I leave for Sill in 5 days. What's it like, how is it different from the other bases?
@@miriamcarpenter2240 I leave on monday😭😭
