I just finished my basic training at Fort Jackson, I definitely thought it was the worst thing ever when I was going through it all but you don’t realize the brotherhood and fun you just had for 10 weeks! I’m currently at AIT to become a 91B
How much money did u get from basic training?
@@1kfxx as an E3, my base pay is about 2600 a month, but during the training phase it looks more around 1800 because they take a lot of money out for the food we’re being provided, and if you opt in for insurance or anything like that that’s also deducted from your paycheck as well
@@donjosue8513 thanks for the info!!
Where you headed next?
@@JasonsnotgoodatdrumsI believe AIT for 91B is at fort Greg-Adams VA, which used to be Fort Lee, VA but I could be wrong
I did. that in 1982 at Fort Knox Kentucky and am now retired from the United States Army, Army National Guard and the United States Postal Service. The U.S. Army gives soldiers a rewarding career path while in the Army and one after leaving or retiring from the military should a person choose to continue to work depending upon the length of their time in service upon retirement. ARMY STRONG! BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE!
Thanks for your lifetime of Service!!!
@@thomasdowe5274 thank you for your support
The military played a big part in my divorce. Great for my career, horrible for my relationship.
I want to go to the army after highschool and be and infantry man thank you for your service sir got any tips?
@@Kodex4654 talk to your local Army Recruiter about the Infantry MOS and about training now for the ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) or PT test. Stay healthy - alcohol and smoke/drug free. Leaders don’t do drugs or alcohol. Ask the recruiter any questions you have to get an early start like questions per ASVAB (Armed Services Aptitude Battery) Testing and anything else that will mentally and physically prepare you for Basic Combat Training (BCT). Also start a personal exercise plan of push-ups (goal of 50 to 70 in 2 minutes), sit-ups (goal of 50 to 70 in 2 minutes) and 2 miles run (goal of 13 minutes maximum completing time). Also add weight training and pull-ups (weight goal of 220 pounds bench and pull-ups goal of 30 repetitions). Don’t forget to eat a balanced diet to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. Being at the proper weight per your height is one thing the Army is keen on especially in the Infantry MOS field. In my day the Infantry were called “Ground Pounders”. They had to carry much heavy equipment on their person in the field during training so they were required to be in the best physical condition they could attain and maintain per each individual soldier. I was Armor - 19E M60A1 Main Battle Tank Crewman and 19K M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank Crewman. We had to maintain physical fitness and conditioning but no walking like the Infantry although I got my share of cross training with Scouts and Infantry in my younger years in the early 1980s before Operation Desert Shield Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Mind boggling that they can be ready to move on in only 10 weeks. Thank you to all who do this work.
In the early 1970's it was 17 hard weeks... Made it though!
Plus ait like 18-30 weeks in total
It really depends on your mos. Mine was 22 weeks, both basic and ait put together known as OSUT, one station unit training
@@heavymetalsuperhero Isn't there a thing on whatever job you decide to do having different amount of weeks after pt?
@@crusaderknight6928 depending on the mos yeah
Currently in the process of joining THE ARMY so excited to change my future..
How’s it going?
Went through BCT & AIT (OSUT) @ Ft Knox in May 1988. I told myself just do an initial 4 years & get out! I ended up spending over 22 years in the Army. Training is always tough physically & mentally but the pride you develope, sense of accomplishment & camaraderie will last a lifetime. Every young man or woman should serve their country, don't be afraid! The Army is a great place to do great things. You have to make the best of each day & strive to do your best in everything you do!!
Amazing how things have changed. I still remember my 1st day of basic in August 1998 when I was at Ft. Sill. Amazing how fast 25 years have gone. I still miss the Army every day. Truly the best and easiest job in there is.
@BrianWilliams21706 did you serve 20 and a wake-up 🤔
@@ObamaFromKenya I was in for 15 years. During a deployment, RPG got me. Had to amputate. At that point, I knew my career in the army was done. I was offered early retirement instead of med board retirement. What hurt most at that time was I was to be looked at the next year for my E-8. Truthfully, I'm not mad about it anymore. I accepted it, have dealt with it, and now moving on.
I still remember my first day in Aug 1987. It seems like 36 years since then just flew by. I was at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo for both Basic and AIT.
You are so right. Times change!
Imagine, I arrived at Ft. Bragg on October 1968!!!
I did my Infantry Basic in 88 at Ft. Benning then on to the 1st Cav. I don’t miss it a bit. I did my job and got out.
I just completed basic training here in Fort Leonardwood, MO, definitely learn the Soldier's Creed, Army Song, and follow what the drill sergeants tells you to do. Doing anything stupid can get your whole platoon or company smoked! It may be long, but it'll be over before you know it!
Very good advice. I’m currently at Fort Leonard Wood, I just finished red phase and we’re on HBL right now, I graduate in March. I can’t wait
i have 2 daughters in the army national guard, they are done their basic training one of them whit promotion, pv2, the other E4 since she started because she did 3 years of medicine in college, now they are in AIT, (advance individual training) one for contruction engineer, the other for combat medicine. so proud of both go USA 🙏🏼👍🏻🥰🥰💪🏽💪🏽
as you should be!!!
Combat arms is the pits.
she should have been an officer with 3 years of college prior to joining....she got a bad recruiter
I was a combat medic and just offering advice
@@umkane3851 I want to be one or a Calavry Scout
Pretty awesome video. I was in Fort Sill Oklahoma for my basic training in 1995. Did 20 years I got out in 2015. It's fascinating to see what's changed since then.
It’s been awhile since October 1968 when we arrived by bus to Ft. Bragg for BCT….and yet, I survived and here I am.
God Bless our Men and Women in uniform.
Repent of your sins and believe Jesus Chrisy is Lord and Saviour
Got ready to go to basic training these videos very help me help me understand the what basic training is like. My recruiter been so hopeful with everything he gone out of his way
OSUT at Ft. Leonard Wood in 1982 as a 12B Combat Engineer- I had Drill Sergeants who were Viet Nam vets and I am glad for that- they prepared me for my 25-year-plus career in the Army, which included some serious assignments.
Congratulations, Thank you for your service. I was in Ft. Leonard Wood - 1982 as 12B Combat Eng. C-4-2 then I got sent to Ft. Knox, Ky. for my remaining 2-year enlistment. Did another 3 years in Reserves.
I went through Infantry OSUT this 2022. Yellow phase wasnt a thing for us. Right into red phase with the yelling and no fail mentality
Fun wasn't it?
It’s still like that I just turned green on Friday this video is a load of shit but maybe it’s different because I joined the infantry and have osut we had the first 72 hours where they constantly fucked with us
As someone who just trained under Senior DS Minnear no less than 2 months ago, I can confirms he is one of the best influences I've ever had in my life.
Yes he's hard on you, yes he will yell if you do something wrong, and he will probably do a german suplex if you do something stupid, but he is respectful, wise, and above all else he cares deep down about every single Trainee that walks off that bus and every patch he places on his soldiers.
Edit: One of my favorite quotes I'll always remember from Minnear is "YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING!!!! RUUUNNNNNN!!!!"
Always screamed that anytime he saw someone taking their sweet ass time getting from place to place lol
This day is still engrained in my memory, but in 2000 we arrived via cattle car into the shark tank at FT Sill. I'm happy the Army is adjusting to whatever it takes to bring in recruits to get in a better situation regardless if it's for college money or a career.
1988 Ft. Leonard wood Missouri. My MOS was a 12C, lived in Germany from 1989-1991 was in the 814th Engineer Co. (A) (FB). Came back stateside to Ft. Polk Louisiana from 1991-1996 while being attached to Ft. Bragg and Ft. McClellan as I transferred from a 12C to an 18B. Before my ETS from the Army, I was able to obtain Air Assault, Air Bourne and an SF Candidate, I passed the SFAS phase but never made it to Q course or Ranger School, but no regrets. I really enjoyed my time as an Army soldier.
Urban and rural training should include different type of medium high fences used throughout the world to offer mobility training when teaching scaling fence techniques as climbing training could be useful in the urban environment especially the suburbs
GREAT my guys! God bless every soldier and our families.
I graduated basic 1 year ago. Was hard but I was glad to have graduated a 12 Bravo. Graduated from Fort Leanord Wood
How is your current 12B position going do you like it? I’m currently in the process of going to the Air Force. I did meps and the asvab as well but want to do something that seems more enticing such as that position over mechanics.
I remember going through basic training back in 2006. Basic training has change.
@TheOgrande did you deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan 🤷🏻♂️
@@ObamaFromKenyathat war started in 04 u fool 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Now that I am retired from the Army, I like to watch these videos.
When I was in basic the dfac food was always hitting. The Fort Jackson reception dfac was always amazing.
Fr, 120th had the best food. Hope DS Mauldin is doing well there
Their food was always fresh and delicious and they gave out pastries every once in a while but when we had to go there to get our ASUs fitted it was a good time
@@IAmTrashhy When I was there they had served Ice Cream almost every day lol, supposedly one of the Holdovers tried to steal boxes of it so they gave it all out at the D-Fac
It's been over 40 years since I arrived at Fort Dix, NJ for basic training but I can still remember it like it was yesterday. I'd do it all again if they'd let me.

This man must have smoked hella good kush 👏 👌 🙌 thanks for your service 🙏
very nice my grandfather was a tanker in the korean war.
Be All You Can Be. Thank you for volunteering. The US Army is a great place to start your future endeavors. You will become more aware of your surroundings and goals in life after graduation. God Bless America’s US Armed Forces. ❤❤❤
Thank you for protecting and serving our Country.
I enlisted last week and ship out 01/02/2024 to Fort Sill. My MOS is an 88M and I’ve decided to go Reserves, since I’m already a truck driver. I’m nervous AF. Wish me luck y’all!
Go with the truck driver program thingy, bc you will be enter as an E4. Good luck man i hope Fort Leonard Wood won’t be could when you arrive for AIT
It’s cold as fuck here in fort Leonardwood I’m at ait for 88m it’s easy bro. But you’ll be a hold over for a month because they’re pushing the national guard first
You went the same route I went but it’s going to be cold asl I went to Jackson in June and Graduated Leonardwood in November
it is what you make of it and enjoy it.
Piece of cake ..👌😎
2:00 lol our drills would never hand our letters to us…
They would whip that shit to oblivion and make everyone run after it.. good times
Ah I remember having to run after it in the tire pit like a Wide Receiver going after a football. I miss Basic and its only been like 2 months since I left it.
The documentary looks interesting. But I'm not an American so it will be difficult. I have some questions to American soldiers:
1) In the US Army are there some language schools where I can improve my grammar and speaking in English?
2) How much is the salary there?
3) Do I get a health insurance after I joined the Army?
4) Which military department should I join?
5) Are there health tests where the doctors check everything before or after I joined the Army?
I hope I will get some positive feedbacks.
Wow, Army has changed since I was in! I don't see the physical and mental challenge anymore, looks like anyone could make it through B/C now..
They make it look “nicer” on camera so they don’t scare people away which sucks. Wish they showed how it actually was so we could get people who are hungry to go through the shit and not just people who want a cake walk like the ads make it look like.
100% with you on this one Michael. I doubt they have a GO/NO-GO scale now
I went through basic a year ago and I promise you we got FUCKED up, they just don’t want to show that on camera because it will discourage new recruits if they actually new what they were getting in to.
We are the best army in the world because we adapt. This is a new army, sir thank you for your service, but the new generation will move it forward ❤💪💪
@@lorenacortez9377 ok not sure if you’re in the army but I am, and I can tell you we are in a pretty bad spot compared to our main adversaries.
Go My Beautiful US Army Members!!!! USA, USA, USA, USA, USA!!!🥰😍🤗❤🤍💙💯💪🙏👍
I went through at BENNING in 2020. Had very old school drills who had been to Afghanistan. A dude got body slammed into his locker by our senior drill for smirking💀
I’m glad we got kicked around tho, helped me in the long run.
Went through fort Jackson are drill sergeants would tell us to duke it out in the Latrine if we had any problems😂
**FORT BENNING**
This video hit me hard! Got a little emotional. Man I miss being in the Army!
I was 11B before the communist overtake. I don’t miss it a bit. I still remember how happy I was to paint my boots a look at them on the line b/c I was outta there. I did my job well and was done.
We are very excited and really like your creative ideas, made it enjoyable to watch and keep watching, hope you continue this great idea forever.
Thanks every veteran and active duty’s soldier, you guys make the difference in your community, next year 2024 I will serve this country with my heart and soul! God bless America 🇺🇸
Same here 🫵🏾
@@octaviagreen4305 Good luck 👏🏻
Turned Green October 27th 2023, currently on the AIT portion of 11B OSUT Fort Moore, GA Sandhill. Week 14.👍
I was at Sandhill at Ft. Benning in 88. Good luck I suppose.
First several days my ass we was in reception for 2 weeks 😂
Nice! Some breathing time before Basic.
I was lucky to have a friend tell me to bring $100 when I joined to have money to *TAILOR* the uniforms issued in Reception.
Best advice ever because you will look sharp and impress the senior enlisted and officers of your Basic company!
Since the tailoring is inexpensive at the Basic post, you will have some extra money from the $100 until first payday!
Tailored uniforms will get you promoted fast and if you want Officers Candidate School (OCS) the tailoring is a MUST!
Also *Spit-Shining boots and shoes* ... and learning how by searching 'RUclips' that shows you how before joining...
@@thomasdowe5274What are you on about? Tailored uniforms won't get you promotions in basic training and shining boots hasn't been a thing for some time. OCS requires college education, not nice looking uniforms.
@DegenerateActual
Have you heard of 'Reports'?
They begin on entrance to the military and added to as you do your duty.
That will also include your appearance...so suck in that gut, and tuck in that chin, as well as have tailored to fit clothing and spit shined boots.
You'll get promoted before the sad sacks...
@DegenerateActual
BTW It does not require a college education to be selected to O C S, but it does require an IQ of 110 or higher on the 'General Mechanical' portion of your 'Entrance Exam' test scores, and a 'Selection Board of Senior Officer's Evaluation'...j
Did 20 years in the Army and now working as a cop. I enjoyed my experience in the military for sure and it made me a better police officer.
Thank you for your service, and your continued service to your community. Also commendable you did something less than 20% of service members do which is 20 years and retire. I couldn't see doing 20 years on active duty even if I had listened and joined the Air Force. I really can't imagine doing 20 years in the Army. I'm at six now and definitely plan on getting out at eight if I don't get medboarded first.
Did 4 years active and 17 Reserve. Not sure if I could handle of the "team/group" mentality of today. When I went through in '82, it was more individual . . . . Be all YOU, can be.
Ship out for basic at Fort Jackson February 12th. Cant wait
I go to fort moore july 2nd, cant wait
Fort benning
@@mikehunt9804They changed the name
@@mikehunt9804 it got renamed to fort moore
sadly
I might enlist in the military, I've been getting pretty high scores on a practice ASVAB test and thats bringing my confidence up, I'm just worried about the mental struggle I'll be going through.
Basic itself isnt really as hard as you would think, its the people who dont care about being there that make it harder.
Just be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing in the right unifrom. We call that the 4 Rights, and its literally all the military is lol.
If you are doing the right thing in Basic and still getting smoked, take pride knowing that you are not the problem, and be thankful you are getting extra training so you can increase your ACFT Score
@@PokemonProfessorNebula Would starting at the end of the year in December be considered a good starting position?? I would think it's so I can personally keep track of how far I've gone from day one.
@@crusaderknight6928 I would say start as early as possible and get it over with as soon as possible. The hardest part is waiting and watching others go through it.
@@PokemonProfessorNebula The earliest I can do is next month or a bit after New Year's so pray for me.
I'd recommend going before summer. Dealing with older, more experienced recruits makes life so much easier
Thank you for your service and thank 🙏👍.
I remember basic training back in 89’ at Fort Knox KY from February to May, did AIT (tank mechanic school) right down the street from our basic training building…lol
I had a blast in basic, loved the confidence course and PT (physical training), the only thing I didn’t like in basic was the gas chamber……but I loved the drill and ceremony (marching and calling cadence to and from school)….our drill sgt in tank mechanic school was funny as hell, he’d make up cadences all the time and make them sound hilarious…lol
I have a bit of advice for anyone going to Fort Knox for basic training………….your gonna have 3 road marches over the course of basic (6 mile, 10 mile and 16 mile…..mind you these were the distances when I went thru basic, don’t know what they are now), after spending the night in the field your gonna have that 16 mile road march back to the barracks (which will be your final excercise of basic training) and you graduate a few days afterwards.
My advice is DO NOT volunteer or end up getting picked as a road guard, Fort Knox is famous for its long tough elevated hills (wrecks havoc on your legs)…….the thing about being a road guard is your constantly running to stop traffic and once the platoon is past the traffic your running again to stop the traffic at the next area wherever that may be (some spots are close and others not so close).
Just hope and pray it doesn’t rain the night before either, that’s what happened to our class and of course everything got wet our battle dress uniforms and our rucksacks which became heavier……which also puts more weight on your legs etc…..which causes cramps after awhile from prolonged walking, but you won’t care because you’ll be glad basic training is officially over…lol
I really want to be in the US army but I’m not a citizen it’s been my dream I’m looking for all ways possible so I can be in the army 😢
Went to Fort Jackson for basic this summer. this video makes it seem so well organized. it's the totally opposite. "3 hot meals a day" Yeah I wish. 🤣
Chill POG. Jackson is a joke
Pog
Very interesting and so very different from when I took BCT at Ft, Knox, KY in 1973. "This We'll Defend"
Ayyy those are my drills I graduated sept 7th and I’ve been in ait for 12 weeks now.
Did that 20 years ago at fort knox. As a 911 veteran feel proyd of our us army. God bless our troops.
wow we went around the same time. I also went 20 years ago in Ft knox, I was with Alpha 2-46. From Febuary-April. i got stuck in reception for 1 month due to my PPD was positive.
"Where you BORN with that Shit on your face BOY !?? " - My Drill Sergeant when he saw my mustache. It was GONE shortly after that.
One of my fav quotes from my DS is "I know you are not sitting at parade rest, fuckboy"
Spent 10 days of Bivouac walking around McGregor Range at Ft Bliss. We did PT every day from day 1 and the Drill was not our friend. 10 mile road march? How about 17? Outside of God and my family best decision I ever made.
Ft Knox, 1983 A-15-4. Retired from the Reserves in 2015. Still working as a GS employee for 25 plus years!
Be warned they put a $5k judgment on my credit for a check they later discovered i never received. For almost a year of me fighting it I could not get a job a car a place to live and I never got compensated or an apology.
i ship out tomorrow morning at 9am, god bless!
Let’s go man. Enjoy. Don’t quit.
How was it? I’m about to sign my contract, what was the hardest part
wow, it has changed since 1987. I went to Fort Benning Gorgia, home of the infantry.
Hooah my family was all army and i was trying to follow after them too!!! The army is the best and the chow is mighty fine!!!
My dad is an army vet and still says “hooah” and says he still remembers his army brothers. Some of the best friends he ever had.

@hohetannen4703 not sure if you dislike the marine corps, but my thoughts were, when it comes to total pride and thinking you and your organization are at the very top, the Marines have it covered. The Marine Corp is honestly almost like a cult. They are SO prideful and full of bravado. It's literally drilled into them the second they step off the bus at Paris Island. And then they have to go through 'the crucible.'
I'm not even saying they are THEE best, I'm just saying they THINK no one compares to them. Which isn't a bad thing, they have total confidence after completing marine basic training. Have you seen A Few Good Men?
@@christopherwalker6056 Facts, I can say for certain Marines do deserve a lot more credit than they are given. They work their asses off, and thats coming from someone who's ARMY lol
@PokemonProfessorNebula haha, exactly. Personally, I do think they are one of the best fighting forces but at the same time so is the 75th Ranger Regiment. Those guys are every bit as elite as marine force recon and MARSOC. I was in the Navy so I've known Marines as well as Navy SEALs. I once met a young Marine, I think he was fresh outta bootcamp and I don't recall exactly how the conversation started but I do remember he actually said "We train the SEALs." I had to keep from laughing and just said "ahh, I see." 😆
If you want a real challenge, you wanna try something hard… join the marine corps.

@@lorenacortez9377 In the marines, an E-3 lance corporal can be in charge of entire platoons and in the army an e-4 specialist would get less respect than a senior lance corporal 03xx in the marines. Shouldn’t choose the branch of service for a damn sign on bonus either, the men in Vietnam didn’t get no bonus.
@@CREEDnokeBro, stop lying my guy. No E3 is gonna be in charge of a platoon and you know it. The ONLY time where that might happen is in the unlikely circumstance that every single NCO was killed along with the PL, and even then it would be very temporary. Plus, under those circumstances it would be the same in any branch, someone would have to step up and lead out of necessity. Marines do have more responsibility at lower ranks because they are a small service and have to operate that way. However, it would be more along the lines of an E3 being a team leader whereas that billet would normally be held my and E4 or E5 in the army.
I didn’t have hand to hand combat training in BCT because of Covid. I envy all of those that still got the opportunity during that time. (I did do Pugil Stick Training though).
Damn, I graduated BCT 10 months ago and after making it to big army, I wish I was back in basic.

I went through BCT in 1981. BCT was much different then. B-2-1, Ft. Jackson, SC. We didn't have "phases." Our PT uniform was the duty uniform - yup, we ran in boots - airborne shuffle.
This kinda got me a little bit excited for when I head off to basic training, but as of now im still in the enlistment process with my recruiter.

Don’t give up bro I was also in that program. I manage to lift my score up to 83. I had 30 at first. I choose to be a combat medic. The AIT was 4 months long with a lot of schooling. I had doubts in myself everyday during those months. I failed a lot of test but still manage to past my first cycle because I told myself I’m not gonna quit. You can do it too bro. You have your brother and sister around you. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Please don't Israel my house
Too much of a summer camp atmosphere and definitely too much emphasis on cupcakes that will never see combat.
My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead, murdered by my brother-in-law Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a meth empire for over a year now and using me as his chemist. Shortly after my 50th birthday, Hank came to me with a rather, shocking proposition. He asked that I use my chemistry knowledge to cook methamphetamine, which he would then sell using his connections in the drug world. Connections that he made through his career with the DEA. I was... astounded, I... I always thought that Hank was a very moral man and I was... thrown, confused, but I was also particularly vulnerable at the time, something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Hank took me on a ride along, and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin so I agreed. Every day, I think back at that moment with regret. I quickly realized that I was in way over my head, and Hank had a partner, a man named Gustavo Fring, a businessman. Hank essentially sold me into servitude to this man, and when I tried to quit, Fring threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Hank and Fring had a falling out. From what I can gather, Hank was always pushing for a greater share of the business, to which Fring flatly refused to give him, and things escalated. Fring was able to arrange, uh I guess I guess you call it a "hit" on my brother-in-law, and failed, but Hank was seriously injured, and I wound up paying his medical bills which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, Hank was bent on revenge, working with a man named Hector Salamanca, he plotted to kill Fring, and did so. In fact, the bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated suicide, but I'm a coward. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. Hank had risen in the ranks to become the head of the Albuquerque DEA, and about that time, to keep me in line, he took my children from me. For 3 months he kept them. My wife, who up until that point, had no idea of my criminal activities, was horrified to learn what I had done, why Hank had taken our children. We were scared. I was in Hell, I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, to end this nightmare, and in response, he gave me this. I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Hank will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. I... All I could think to do was to make this video in hope that the world will finally see this man, for what he really is.
No one knows if, or when, these soldiers will to see combat. The world is in turmoil nowadays
@@susannebrunberg4174 Women should not be trained with men for combat. They will always be designated to support roles. America doesn't have the stomach for massive female casualties. If we were Israel fine, they need every soldier they can get.
Soon training❤❤
I just gotta do MEPs then I’m on my way I can’t wait !!!
I want to join, even was talking to recruiter, got my packet filled out, and all the other jazz... then I started seeing the woke stuff, backed off since they hate the classic American man. They are the reason for a lot of the problems we see today period.
Snowflake got triggered
They are definitely some things that I hate I don’t agree with but majority of the army isn’t really “woke” thb especially combat arms units
Sure you did clown 🤡
You never would have let one of those drill sergeants get in your face like that!
But like what woke stuff though? I only remember sharp briefings. That's about it.
"Then I started seeing the woke stuff"
I have never in my entire life heard someone say that, what woke stuff? Especially in just a recruiter's office because you never went to training
Way too many cupcakes in the Army, this is what's discouraging male recruitment. After all they do the fighting! I wouldn't want a female drill Sargent.
I had a female drill sergeant in my platoon, and she was the toughest damn drill sergeant in the battery/company.
@@cadetcrockett2276 But she was never going to be your battle buddy.
@@vincentzincone8012
And? That’s not her role. She’s an NCO, not lower enlisted. NCOs aren’t battle buddies regardless of being male or female.
@@cadetcrockett2276yes but what about fggts in dresses though? Do they count?
DS Decipulo from my BCT was a real shortstack but dammit she would german suplex you if you even looked at her funny lol. She was one of the best damn DS's I had there.
Reminds me of The Palm-Top Tiger Aisaka Taiga.
