Thank you for your update this video! Wishing you will be able to update more and more videos like this to help all the families of any Trainees can see they siblings going through the process to become a real Soldier. Thank you all for your service guys. Love the video ❤
I was there doing the same thing Sept - Nov 1969. Then off to ‘Nam in Dec 1969. 571st Engr, 3rd Bge, 9th Inf 69-70. Though, at Ft. Leonard Wood caught a bad upper respiratory infection that lasted a week. Missed the pontoon bridge fun and games...
Hehe I was right there 10 years later probably in the same brick barracks and the dumpy little AAFES shop down the road and the rec hall with the Sherman tank in front of it-the only two places we were allowed to go on our pass for 2 hours on Sundays. 12B training I did actually enjoy. We were actually called 'soldiers' instead of recruits, pretty chill range instructors with the luxury of a cattle car taking us back to barracks in the evening but we still had KP which I did not care for. Our drill sergeants always smoked us after KP because 'we had an easy day'.
Congradulations to the new Combat Engineers!!!!! I was in B35th EN BN 1998 still serving in the National Guard. Currently at 24r years and not planning on stopping so here's to the next generation of Combat Engineers

Late August 30th to December 16 2011 alpha 35th at the time the 31st barracks were being built across the 35th building . I was the second class to be using the new 35th barracks lol
I was C-35th at Leonard Wood Aug-Dec 1993. Alpha was across the street. I didn't recognize many of the locations; maybe the CS gas building was the same. The training looks much the same. Exception: it looks like they detonated live Bangalore torpedoes. Our live demolition was a ring main where each of us attached a quarter pound block of C4. Good stuff. I still remember a lot of the details.
Many years ago, I wasn't dropping to my knees and rolling into a firing position and was questioned as to why? I told my DIs that it does the mission no good if I damage my knees dropping onto rocks. They queried what I thought could be done to improve this and I told them I was from a construction background and the way we avoid injury, was to wear knee pads. Now you know who "actually" came up with the adaption of knee pads in the US Army, even though I'm pretty sure a DI took credit for it.
@@tomservo5347 I paid the price, but got my suggestion out. I did this three times, got eaten alive, but made the contributions I felt would improve things. Spent a week at the Command Correctional Facility. Was supposed to be there longer but broke my foot and got sent to the hospital instead.
I came in just a couple of rotations after you then. I got to reception in early February then OSUT and graduated from combat engineering school on May 18, 2000
Best: Making a lot of new friends, learning new things, getting use to being uncomfortable and unpredictable. Worst: Being uncomfortable. Going from having 0-3 roommates all my life to 55 roommates sharing 2 showers. Being yelled at for things that were impossible to do. Dealing with the consequences of others actions.
You Musta come in just as I was leaving. I graduated OSUT on May 18, 2000. Did you get drill sergeants Montano and Kuhar and Ripley? I don’t remember the others names.
In this video there is no yelling and screaming, is that just for the camera or is that real? I want to join but I want to be absolutely challenged mentally and this seems too soft
1. It’s just for the cameras. The cameras aren’t around 24/7. 2. if your only concern about whether to join or not is yelling & screaming, then joining is not for you. 3. If you somehow disregard number 2, and want to be “challenged” and this seems “soft” then enlist 18X
When I went through early 2000s it was exactly the same as basic training. We got a weekend pass after we graduated basic and then we came back to the same barricks, same drill sergeants and the same shit.

How often do people get airborne slots during this ?
Very often. They usually ask a few weeks before graduation for about 2-3 people to volunteer.
I went through this exact course a year ago. Anyone remember the instructor at 54:00? “wAtCh YoUR lAnE” haha
