Just like his video above it doesn't show any of the ftx which for us it rained the whole time. It cuts out the infantry training which was black and gold phase. Those weren't too bad but they still sucked haha oh yeah 30th AG was the most miserable two weeks of my life.

    For anyone going Infantry leaving for FT. Benning...this is exactly what you will be doing. Just remember it’s only as hard as you make it. Just think to yourself 90% mental 10% physical. Know what you’re going there to do and always keep in mind what your goals are. It’s also a good idea to find a battle or a group of battle buddies that you can talk to if you’re having trouble. Also don’t be afraid to speak to the preacher on The Lords Day. Things will be rough on the aspect of being homesick, missing your families, but you’ll be proud of yourself knowing that you pushed yourself through it and endured the suck. Just remember how many men and women have been where you’re going and did what you’re about to do. You got it! Good Luck!

    Hey Matt!
    So I can't stop thinking about the military. Since I was alittle girl the military has been what I truly wanted. But as I got older I let people deter me away from joining so I never went. I think about it everyday. I feel like if I can't stop thinking about it it's a true sign that I need to fulfill my dream of being a soldier. What do you think?? If you reply I will die !! Lol!! Thanks for the content!!
