I annihilated my face falling off top bunk. Fun fact! Drill sergeants are actually pretty nice when you're covered in blood and about to pass out. They'll give you hell for it later, but in the moment, they've got your back.
The year is 2008. January 9th. The very first full day of BCT. Drill Sgt. calls out for sick call at 5am. I felt fine the night before but I thought I was dying. I rose my hand and he stormed over "YOU'RE NOT SICK" he took my temperature and said in a sympathetic voice "Okay go downstairs" fever of 103. I didn't want to be "that guy", especially on the first day, but I was toast.
I went to basic training like 4 weeks ago. I was in a Fort Leonard(Home of Engineers) And the people who went to sick call a lot we called them Sick Call Sappers (Sappers was like the best of the best for engineers)
I was a sapper. I went to basic at fort lost in the woods in 1987. My son is a marine and is at fort lost in the woods for his military police school .
LOL hell nah we would go to sick call, tell the DS our symptoms and he’ll respond “you’re not sick private it’s just in your head. If you gotta puke just puke private” after this I formed back up for PT and was sick for another three days LOL
Ayo not gonna lie i only went to sick call to get some ibuprofen if we had the freedom to leave base and run to cvs and get someone advil and come back i toats would've have and saved the staff Sergents so much time i wish boot camp would give some allowance for common sense like ait you know what i mean
They don't give any medicine either 🤣🤣 combat arms is brutal. If your at ft Moore they only send you to MACH (army hospital) if your lucky enough to have to go pick up meds
I also went to Fort Leonardwood probably before most of you were born. I never once went to sick call guess I was blessed that I didn’t get sick.. one day I felt a little out of sorts after smoking a joint with the boys never did that again.
My mistake at Jackson-I made fun of people with crutches because I was making it even though my knee was twisted. Two days later, I barely finished a ruck and was transported back to the clinic and issued crutches for the final field exercise. Funniest thing was me standing in the middle of the road while everyone else is doing combat maneuvers in the brush to break contact with the enemy. Thankfully I passed
In 1963 we had a guy go on sick call to avoid KP. Did it 3 times, and the guys told him the facts of life: "You will NOT go to sick call again". I have no idea what his uncles and dad told him about KP, but next time he sliced his foreskin with a razor so he would really have to go sick call. No shit, saw it with my own eyes.
I was the Cam Newton of the U.S. Army when I was in. I was unstoppable but I’m out now and the U.S. Army won’t give me that phone call to allow me to keep bringing the active duty U.S. Army to the promise land.
Blisters are common too especially during the forge. I developed a huge blister during the 2nd day of the Forge and the rest of it was like hell esp that 10mile ruck back to the Hilton field. Every step was painful but pushed thru it
I did one of the obstacle courses that had you slide down a rope, death gripped the rope and it really fucked up my hand, did I go to sick call the day after. Did I go to sick call the day after? no. Should I have? Yes
I remembered my days on the trial oh they were fun and annoying I sneak into the bay day 3 of red to wake everyone up fire guard fell asleep like they usually do and everyone got woken up by a locker getting slammed to the ground This kid I shit you not jumped off the top bunk and smashed his head open in the middle on my dam bay I couldn’t believe it to be honest I hadn’t seen anything like that yet just the dum fuckery of BCT This kid wanted to keep going and not go to sick call well he didn’t have a choice I wasn’t gonna have him leaking all over my company I cannot stress this enough IF YOU GET HURT TELL YOUR DRILL SERGENT IMMEDIATELY Take basic training seriously You do not want to be recycled because you will be there for 2 training cycles you don’t get sent out to wait you will wait with the cycle you came with and you won’t just be sitting there you’ll be training anyways and you get to do it all again
Yeah sick call…. When you get to the regular army new soldiers ride it and ride it and ride it…. Taking up critical spots for actual sick soldiers…. Army sick call is a joke

Ya we never signed out for sick call at ft. Moore some people would just go hang out at the hospital all day and hit the vending machines. lol
BOOT

Sick call ranger! I was sick. Battle through it.
That's crazy, I was in Benning in 2013 not one time did I see someone go to sick call and not one time was it offered
@@68w10 we went in the same year - and it definitely was
@@ErickaBernie lol nobody told B 2/47 We never had announcements about sick call. Not saying I don't believe you it's obviously a thing
I went in 2006, they didn't ask in the morning then, but they definitely had sick call. I know bc my battle body was constantly going.

They made us walk to sick call at Jackson lol. But we were pretty close though. D 3/13 2015
All the innocs

This video was only for sick bay commandos
Went to sick call because i had pneumonia and our battalion doctor told me to thug it out.

I was a sick call ranger it wasn’t my fault tho I dislocated my knee and had surgery in Ft Jackson had to do basic training twice 🤦♂️

Sick Call Rangers.
I am an Army veteran. Trust me if you are sick or hurt go to sick call. Having medical documentation is key when submitting a VA claim.
It was like the third week I got sick in BCT
When I was in basic if you got sick you cured yourself, if you get svi in a fire fight there are no dispensaries, deal with it or stay home.
They made us pay hard for going to sick call in 1986 USMC. Cheers - Semper Fi Vets!

Don’t be like me go to sick call or you end up having to qualify rifle range with two pink eyes
I never once thought of trying to go to sick call in basic. The military is too weak.
Unless you are straight up dying , you do not go to sick call.
what’s the most common basic training injury?
I would say a sprained or twisted ankle while falling off an exercise apparatus or falling down the stairs.
Shin splints, fractures of the hip are very common
Knee hip shin foot
Blisters are common too especially during the forge. I developed a huge blister during the 2nd day of the Forge and the rest of it was like hell esp that 10mile ruck back to the Hilton field. Every step was painful but pushed thru it
Definitely blisters, you will 100% get them once you get to your longer rucks.

This kid I shit you not jumped off the top bunk and smashed his head open in the middle on my dam bay I couldn’t believe it to be honest I hadn’t seen anything like that yet just the dum fuckery of BCT
This kid wanted to keep going and not go to sick call well he didn’t have a choice I wasn’t gonna have him leaking all over my company
I cannot stress this enough IF YOU GET HURT TELL YOUR DRILL SERGENT IMMEDIATELY
Take basic training seriously
You do not want to be recycled because you will be there for 2 training cycles you don’t get sent out to wait you will wait with the cycle you came with and you won’t just be sitting there you’ll be training anyways and you get to do it all again
Still at it. Geez
Don't be a sick call warrior
Highly not recommended
Yeah sick call…. When you get to the regular army new soldiers ride it and ride it and ride it…. Taking up critical spots for actual sick soldiers…. Army sick call is a joke
