These citizen soldiers are truly the best young men America has. Proud of all of you guys!
This is so badass you get to live a normal life and also be a infantry man
A fake infantryman
A fake infantryman
Retired Guardsman/Reservist here. Served with the 1/178th Inf. in the ILARNG for 15 years as s Scout (later redesignated as Recon). Had the chance to train with a detachment of the 20th SFG,which is also National Guard several times. My unit also sent a squad of our scouts to sniper school of which I was an assistant squad leader of. With the exception of about three of us, who bonified 19D's, the rest of us were 11B's with myself also holding an 11H MOS . We had everything from several Viet Nam vets to Force Recon Marines.
I love the guard. These boys are truly special. The movie “CITIZEN SOLDIER” out of OK was excellent and because of that movie both my boys joined the guard when they turned 18, and my baby boy is 17 right now and looking to join to serve his country and be with his brothers.
So proud of all of you guys! It’s nice to see these things and remember that even though our country is what it is right now, there are still so many young men willing to risk their life for our freedom. ❤ Thank you all for your time and sacrifice ❤
I am so impressed!!!!!! Proud of you!
Go guard!! God bless you all 🙏
I’m ready to join the national guard now !!!!
Me too man I feel you bro
It's a trap
@@kealashnikov6864 why ? You’re getting paid to train, workout, eat, shoot guns and get yelled at. So why not?
@@limacharliesf9 you get deployed too man
@@Elhumo.koftownrecords that’s what I’m hoping for
Mong here. We don’t get quite this treatment. But as a combat ready engineer unit we shoot a lot. Build shit more…sit around even more. But respect guys. I’ve been injured on sed and training twice now.. still doing it. Our guys in the back lines are ready
National Guard is the best option for young people who still want to enlist and deploy but also attend college and/or have a civilian career
All the 143rd units are in Texas, C co is the only one in RI
I’m going to my national guard recruiter tomorrow want to go for infantry any advice for fort Benning
I enlisted almost 3 weeks ago as an E-1 11B within the WA ARNG
Did they give you any bonuses?
@@classified6959all depends on your asvab scores
Thank you, SERVICEPEOPLES ( Soldiers)……obviously Citizen- Soldiers are the backbone…..
Damn y’all are lucky in Rhode Island I’m in the 53rd infantry combat brigade in Florida and y’all’s drill weekend looks way better. this shit has been ass so far I’m ready to go to SFRE and join 20th group. And was this a regular drill weekend or AT? Cause that would make more sense.
Regular drill
@@jnickington no shit that is dope bro. Are y’all set to deploy anywhere in the upcoming months or years ? If so what kind of missions does a NG Airborne unit do?
@@jordanjaneiro354 not really going to talk about upcoming deployments bc of OPSEC (yeah I know, it’s gay), but that should give you a hint. In terms of missions, it is obviously METC dependent and will vary from place to place. Mostly patrolling though.
@@jnickington yeah was just wondering cause they don’t tell you when you’re signing up for NG as 11b that all you’ll be doing on deployments are SECFOR which I would think would be security forces and MPs jobs but it’s all we do so far.
@@jordanjaneiro354 yeah for the most part thats how things go for everyone as an 11b in the guard
Y’all get tents😲
Wait a minute wait a minute, much respect to all guardsman and I take off my hats to the soldiers who travel across state lines to be in that specific unit and pay out of pocket to do so. I know how it feels to pay out of pocket. Im in the Texas State Guard, I know first hand how it feels to pay for things on ur own.
Get it lads. In flight rigging in 130s suck ass.
2/325 AIR, 94-99, medic.
Talking guns*
Yo! I didn’t know NG had airborne units! Do all of them have it ? And how do you get attached to the 173rd ?
Oh yea, every state is different in terms of what they have. Id talk to a recruiter
1/143 is the only Airborne BTN in the Guard. They have this company (C company) out of Rhode Island, another one out of Alaska and I believe two out of Texas.
@@ianquyck9834HHC, A co, B co and D co are all out of texas, C co is out of rhode island. Additionally 1-143rd isnt the only airborne unit in the national guard, SF support units are airborne(idk if its all, but i believe it is) as well as a MP unit out of colorado thats airborne. I think the confusion is that 1-143rd is the only airborne infantry unit in the guard
Not every state has them but they do exist. I believe 1-143rd is the only airborne infantry unit in the guard and is a satellite of the 173rd however still technically under 36ID. So sometimes they wear the 36ID patch with airborne tab and sometimes they wear the 173rd patch(im not sure when this differs, maybe state vs federal activation/training schedule?). Additionally 36ID is really only out of texas with the exception of C co. 1-143rd.(there may be like another random company in another state but i dont believe there is) There are also other airborne units in the guard, such as SF support units and colorado also has an MP airborne unit as well. Im not sure of any other airborne units in the guard though.
@@jsock8091 Right, that’s what I meant. I should’ve specified it’s the only Airborne Infantry Battalion in the Guard.
How often do you guys actually head to the field to train? Besides AT, how many drill weekends do you guys head to the field?
Usually every drill, Thursday through Sunday
@@jnickington Every drill you head to the field to train? I thought that a lot of drills were Saturday-Sunday with a couple times being Friday-Sunday, not Thursday to Sunday. And a lot of time is spent at the armory kicking rocks in the motor pool. Guess it varies from unit to unit
@@josephwinmill3365 this unit has a strong focus on long drills to pack as much training value in as possible. Since an airborne operation with a follow on mission can take a whole day, it usually means that the drill will start on Thursday, ending with a flight or a bus ride back that Sunday morning. Lots of units will sit around in the motor pool but not this one.
My unit is a regular infantry unit and we train 5 days every other month. Every field drill we work our way up to shooting live rounds.
@@hottakeswithpancakes774 that sounds like a pretty good deal. From what I gathered, the unit I'll be in is out in the field most drills....hopefully I'll get in on that. As long as I'm not with one of those units where they sit at the armory on their phones all drill every drill..
Is it possible to transfer from Florida as a current 11B ? If so with the transfer does that give you a slot to airborne school since this is obviously an airborne NG unit
Hi Jordan, if you want to shoot an email to armyguardri@gmail.com we can link you up with our IST coordinator and you can explore your options from there! Short answer to your question is yes, but it's not my lane so I'd rather get you in touch with the right individual to answer your questions. Thanks!
@@TylerStep thanks brother will do I’m in the Middle East at the moment but definitely exploring options for after. Do you know of anyone that flys out to drill currently and if so do they cover any kind of travel expenses? I was reading up on it today it said if you travel over 100 miles to drill you may be entitled to get reimbursed up to $500 a month.
@@jordanjaneiro354 Best of luck, man! Stay safe out there. As far as travel goes, I know a hotel room can be provided for drill weekends if you meet the distance requirements but I don't know about actual travel expenses like flights, gas, etc.
@@TylerStep so the email you gave I just wanna make sure it is gmail correct ? Not mil mail ?
@@jordanjaneiro354 Yes that's correct!
Are you assigned to the 173rd Airborne??
The 1-143rd is a national guard satellite unit of the 173rd. I forget the official name of the program, but the 1-143rd follows the same training schedule as 173rd and i forget exactly how it is with deployments
What patch do 11 bravo get?
You mean unit patch? You wear the patch of whatever unit you’re assigned to regardless of MOS. For example you can be an 11B assigned to 1st Cavalry and you’ll wear that patch. You don’t “get” a patch. Unless you mean badge. In which case you could earn the Combat Infantryman Badge or Expert Infantryman Badge.
You get the mf blue cord! Respect it, honor it..
And how does your patch look exactly like 173rd?
It's a guard battalion attached to the 173rd airborne through a partner program the army developed in 2017. They act as an additional bn under the 173rd BCT and in theory are supposed to deploy with and plus up the 173rd. The program was developed to make it so national guard units no longer needed a 4 month mob period and could deploy with 2 weeks notice. This unit is the only one still around as it was the only one that passed the program
Used to be 36th infantry division
@@camakazi48 that’s awesome isn’t there the 143rd in Texas as well ?
@@jordanjaneiro354 same battalion. Used to have a company in Alaska too but Texas absorbed it
@@jordanjaneiro354 it's just a company in RI
Why would people travel all the way from Texas to this unit for National Guard service?
Are the units in Texas not that good?
Fun fact, the other 4 companies from this battalion are part of the texas national guard. And they all operate the same if not very similarly. 1-143rd is a good battalion all around. Why they choose to travel all the way from texas to be part of the rhode island guard when they could be part of the same battalion while staying in texas? No clue, thats their own decision. But its possible they were already part of the RIARNG and chose to move out to texas
My end goal is to be a DELTA Operator. But I need combat time to become a delta operator. I heard with National Guard you can pick your mos compared to the army where you start as an 11x which is an infantry candidate. Can someone please confirm with me if u can pick 11b in the national guard or do I haft to go 11x first?
That’s where the guard differs from regular army there are less positions to fill. So yes they will assign you 11b or 11c as needed as opposed to regular army where you are 11x and it’s just luck of the draw at basic which you get.
@@wyattluster thank you
Bro just go talk to a recruiter… you can get 11b in the regular too it’s not all 11x… if you wanna be CAG you better be a stud in every aspect of the military! Hell get an 18x contract and try to go 18 series and be SF!! Worse case scenario you don’t get selected but you’ll be thrown into an airborne unit which is way better than being in a leg unit! You have to be airborne qualified to be CAG anyways so just get an 18x contract
Don’t get your hopes up, it takes more than fitness/intellgice. Just start with something more realistic like being an Army ranger. Then prove yourself and try to become a Green Beret. Then prove yourself and try to become Delta. One step at a time
@@GODOFLIQUOR I'm looking into the 18x program
Joined and 2006 so a lot of combat 4 deployments to Afghanistan. INFANTRY LEADS THE WAY

Is this an airborne unit?
Yup.
@@TerryRajsombath 😭
They literally parachuted in the video lol
@@ryan0150 yeah your right but I wasn’t all the way into the video yet so my bad
That rolling guns fucking sucked. Needs to be right after the other gun. Can’t have a gap in suppression especially when doing rolling guns
Приятного аппетита 🍜🍜🥙🪖🪖🪖🪖 мои близким ✅✅✅🔰🔰🔰🔰
Too bad this isn’t as badass as active infantry
I’ve done both, six years active and three years in the guard. To be honest the guard guys were more squared away. Most the guard guys are educated and have families and entire lives outside of the guard that make them more responsible. Most of the Paratroopers I was with active side couldn’t show up to work on time, couldn’t keep their rooms clean, couldn’t manage their finances, and some couldn’t even grasp basic hygiene. That isn’t a small fraction either, I’d say at least half of the Infantry Soldiers I met on active duty side probably shouldn’t have been there and most would even admit that they didn’t want to be. Meanwhile the vast majority of guard guys did their jobs well and did not need extensive baby sitting to function as a working member of a military force. Active duty guys beat their chest a lot because they are naive. I used to be one of them. One isn’t inherently better than the other, these are just observations I made during my time with both components.
@@codygreene9067 you’re one guy with one experience. Most guys that have done both would say active is more legit
Yeah and you are also “one guy with one experience”. What are you basing your analysis on? You’re saying “most guys who have done both would say active is more bad ass”. Is that a hunch or is there an actual statistic you’re citing? Have you done both? If not then what are you basing your argument on? I have done both and I’ll tell you this much, the military in general is full of fucking goof balls who like to appear bad ass. The kind of guys who have a picture of them in uniform as their pfp. What I’ll say about active is that they live the military life 24/7 which makes them less prone to culture shock when deployed. But from a who is more bad ass standpoint that varies from unit to unit. I was in two units AD and had two duty stations. With the guard I was in one. The two AD units were staffed almost exclusively by borderline retarded 18 and 19 year olds who like I said before, could hardly take care of themselves from a most basic adult standpoint. So as Soldiers they really weren’t that “bad ass”. Meanwhile in the guard most of the dudes were in their 20s and had some sense of responsibility and respect for the job. So two AD units failed to meet my expectations of what the military should’ve been like and one part timer unit immediately displayed more reverence and professionalism than they either did. Do with that info what you will.
Only reason someone would agree with you is if they have no family/life
@@mvend10 What are you basing that on? An assumption or have you talked to guys from both sides? Were you ever in a guard unit? I’ll take the 26 year old Guard Soldier who is a Paramedic on the civilian side and knows how to manage his own life over a 19 year old AD Soldier who is constantly asking for advances on his pay, doesn’t know how to do his laundry or bathe, and is financially ruined by his stupid purchasing habits.
Ill never understanf why the national guard needs an airborne unit. Even regular army airbone divisions are a waste. The only place we might need to jump in the next 50 years is the arctic.
Why not? The National Guard is a part of the United States Army.... All goes hand in hand.
agree.
the big army has waaay to many active airborne brigades. 3 would be ideal. there will never be a divisional drop in world history again.
3 brigades gives a ready reaction brigade for NOT ww3
Looks a lot of these weekend warriors are out of regs. You guys need to read AR 670-1. Seriously anyone from the COC even inspect them
I forget Rhode Island is even a state lol
Boring 🥱🥱😪 but someone has to save the country so thxs guys for your service🥰😍😅😇
That cqb was trash bruh.
Why do we post what drill is like almost like were doing every other country intelligence agencies work for them it not like there is world in conflict right now
