Echo company 2-19! Sand Hill. Graduated September 2014....Man it sucked while I was going through it, but you’ll look back on it with fond memories. 11 bang bang!
Better hope it’s high stress if you plan to join an MOS that may deploy some day. The tougher the training the better. Low stress training doesn’t help anyone. Only did it to combat suicides. Those suicides just get swapped for death over seas when you aren’t properly prepared to do your duties in high stress situations. I went through Infantry basic followed by 3 years active. OT sucks but it’s worth it. Best of luck to you
@r_ elentless01 I went through osut. And believe me when I tell you, you’re going to have less faith in those guys by the end of the cycle than in the beginning. Because you’re going to realize that the “they will get better by the end” mindset, doesn’t work😂 you realize how many shitheads make it through.
@@nikoliomlin1370 I can't count how many of the guys in my cohort didn't make it past the end of their first year once we got to our unit. Drugs did most of them in.
As a graduate of OSUT Harmony Church 1985, and with all due respect, the tone here makes me think more of a civilian summer camp than Army infantry training. Perhaps the current model develops better soldiers, but it doesn’t look at all like the infantry school I saw.
I agree completely! Where's all the hollering and screaming from the drill sergeant telling you to move your ass. If you weren't fast enough you'd get smoked even harder then run the course again.
Harmony Church,Jan 1986 here! They got it fuckin made today!!!! Thats NOTHING like what We went through!!! And where in hell is the motivation from your comrades?!
Unfortunately my position isn’t in basic training anymore so the videos I post would just be showing off the general training that is done. I’d suggest following their company on facebook.
I miss Fort Benning. Especially the road that this obstacle course is on. Beautiful Wildcat road. My company was right at the fork that was Wildcat rd and 2nd Armored Division Rd. A Co 1-46

Good luck 👍 🍀 and don’t give up. 🙏🙏😃
Hello everyone, I'm taking the asvab this week and then going to meps on the 28th-29th this month and hopefully osut at ft benning towards the end of next month. Clearly I don't know how all of this works, my talks with my recruiter tend to be short due to me being 29 with 5 kids and working full time. Now the question I have is is there anything (other than paperwork) that I should take to fort benning with me? Like razors, shoes, underwear, watch, etc. I just want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible
The possibility is highly unlikely. People like that would have to have a serious injury and would’ve had to restart due to injury. I wouldn’t even have that thought as the odds of not graduating on time due to injury are still pretty low. Say it did happen most times you would be inserted into a class where you left off. Quitters/suicidal people that’s a different story...
@@FitOneTech they look pretty intense ! Like mentally challenging for sure ! You guys seem to be doing great out there ! Are these courses fun or not really ?
I’d say they are fun, most Soldiers enjoy doing the obstacle courses. Really only the ones terrified of heights and when it’s extremely hot make it no fun.
During the confidence course, all obstacles can be accomplished. Some people freeze on the obstacles involving heights, but still required. The main obstacle on both courses people can’t do is the rope climb but there’s a ladder to climb usually after you knock out push-ups
I thought this may have been my unit, E 1-50, and my cycle. But it’s neither. I should’ve known better. When we did all of that the water was up to our waists. Seriously
@@admiralv3538 I was in the cycle right after you then, unless you mean 22Jan2021. I got to 30th AG on 10Feb2020. I was in 3rd platoon with SDS Duncan, DS Morse, yeah?, DS Harris, and DS Selenas. Captain Ball was the CO until he left. And First Sergeant Dearden was there the whole time. Though COVID starting affecting us in the last or the second to last week of White Phase. And for at least a third of the cycle SDS Duncan was the acting First Sergeant. And as you know we were their first 22 week cycle. And we did not get any passes to leave. We were restricted to the company because of COVID. We stopped going to the DFac as soon as COVID made an impact on us. And we didn't even have family day. What platoon were you in?
@@CalebJNelson that’s crazy I was in D co at the same time. We got picked up about a month earlier than u though. Iirc captain ball gave us a few classes.
I graduated in '04, with all honor and respect to the Drills. The government has turned this into beginners parkour. No sense of urgency. Real time training, for the actual in case event. I'm not even sorry for saying this, but if our military is to continue to be "great", training needs to go back before whatever this cluster fuck is. Feels like baby ROTC.
Everything looks easier in short clips and taken out of context, as in they’ve been up since 4 am , did a ruck, did extra exercise etc. it’s also not supposed to be impossible, as this is like week 1
Wow this is unbelievable is this what is supposed to be preparing kids for the army and deployments? Things have certainly changed in the last 20 years
A confidence course that is done the first week of 22 week program makes you think they aren’t well trained? It’s BASIC training. Everyone acts like their basic was insane and as someone who breezed through it 11 years ago, it’s BASIC for a reason. You didn’t do a confidence or obstacle course? The drills also don’t freak out when the camera is on...
What’s the need for shouting wolf pack and clicking their heels like Dorothy in Alice in wonderland when they fall backwards ? Is this just American army thing?
The feet thing is to “prevent dirt” but it’s honestly teaching them to follow instructions. Wolf pack is our motto so instilling a sense of team. Just little additional things.
Many trainees can’t as this is done in the first week usually. There’s a ladder on the side to climb up after doing push-ups or something as “punishment”

How did it go? Whats your experience?
why are these drills so nice...
Because the cameras are rolling
I've heard stories of people being kept in osut or basic for over a year. Is this true or possible?
The possibility is highly unlikely. People like that would have to have a serious injury and would’ve had to restart due to injury. I wouldn’t even have that thought as the odds of not graduating on time due to injury are still pretty low. Say it did happen most times you would be inserted into a class where you left off.

“What’d I just say about your contact” *3Seconds later dude grabs another dudes ass* 0:52
What happens when you can climb the rope?
I assume you mean can’t climb, they give you a class, but it’s all technique more than muscle. you just have to do push-ups and climb the side ladder.
@MikeN Ike correct.
Good memories. Aug 2017 - C219

Enlisted, during the summer months , many of the trainees are just finishing high school and then arriving here.

Unfortunately due to Covid no
Yeah, they used to have family days, but due to COVID -19 Fort Benning is not open to families/ off post passes are not approved.
But soldiers can walk around on post?
@@shanefarley3364 it depends on the current restrictions and your commander. Some do allow Soldier’s to go to PX etc .

What if you can't get passed a certain obstacle ?
During the confidence course, all obstacles can be accomplished. Some people freeze on the obstacles involving heights, but still required. The main obstacle on both courses people can’t do is the rope climb but there’s a ladder to climb usually after you knock out push-ups
@FitOneTech so you are saying if the soldier fails to rope climb they let them off the hook and have them use a ladder? That's cool.
when did they change the name to "trainees"
A few years ago, more just like its a privilege to earn your rank and be called a soldier type of thing
