Jason Lesperance My best piece of advice. Don’t take it super seriously, you don’t need to be captian America and all super soldier. You can have fun with it. Do the exercises right when you are ether doing PT or being smoked, as long as you are putting in effort that’s all they care about, so if you have to go slow to do it correctly do it. Don’t buy anything anyone offers you. Near the end of boot camp I had some many people trying to sell me my family crest and shit, doesn’t matter. Save your money in AIT and boot camp so when you get out you can have 6G or more saves up for things you ACTUALLY need. Best of luck man, please if you have any questions reply back.
PhantomSavage - Pretty much. I had a small bag with one change of clothes and underwear, hygiene stuff, my wallet, and a pick for my hair. I had to cough over the pick, LOL. Memorable times.
Old habits, these are regular civilians so they wanted to bring the comforts of home there, but if they knew where they were going a little research would have saved them a lot of trouble.
What a joke! "Hey soy boys and girls, you are in the guard now". Gee eeez, these millennials would have pissed their pants in the 90s basic training. Sad this is what we've become. #thankful4my2ndamendment
When I went to basic I literally had everything I owned in the world with me. 3 duffel bags full. It was interesting explaining how I grew up in foster care and literally had nowhere to have my belongings once I left there. Thankfully they understood and it all just went in storage.
@@museme6309 no money for any type of storage unit. No very close friends i could leave them with. My plans were to not be back in the area, just start my career and move on with my life.
@@tedsmith2793 I feel for you I’m trying to do same for my family get away from the city and get my career together, so i understand plus after you can replace it if it ain’t given back.
@@S1D3W1ND3R015 Because teachers don’t give proper instructions in school. Kids are often told “figure it out” by adults that they have a hard time adjusting to precise and austere instruction by drill sergeants, by which time they are used to being forced to do everything on their own.
This was probably filmed at 3am after a long bus ride and no food. I can still feel that sleepy/exhausted feeling along with the confusion, adrenaline and excitement. 6 years later I'm a warrant officer flying Blackhawks. The army will be a wonderful career if you embrace it and set goals
I understand that Army helo pilots are some of the best becsuse of all the flight time they get. In the Marines, you are a rifleman first, even if you fly. In the Navy, they don't fly as much as you think as they have management obligations as well. In all other branches, I think only officers fly. But you can be a WO in the Army and fly . From what I've heard, you guys do just that: fly
Mike Donovan we decided to see if instead maybe we can get you guys to turn your monitors and TVs vertically...I’m seeing more monitors being turned to the side than phones held horizontally.
They're actually pretty protective of the young recruits and generally nice people. Its a misconception that they're mean. They do this to make sure no contraband enters the facility. Looks like fort Campbell.
He's literally talking to the dumbest person in the room. They understand that some of them will be training to become military intelligence after BCT and some will be working in supply or 11-B because they didn't score high enough on the ASVAB to get a real MOS.
@@ghaddock142 They send the men who know how to read to Fort Jackson. Knuckle dragging neanderthals that never learned to read go to Benning in order to become bullet catchers.
Do what they ya,how they tell ya,when they tell ya. Never volunteer for anything. This was my Dad’s advice to me when I was drafted in 1965. That advice served me well.
I'm sorry, but I don't see any ounce of tough here. But yet I was in the marine corps so to me this is way to soft. And as a marine we are just a defferent breed. I do respect all branches though. We are all a team.
It's called a fog of war and high stress. do you think your going to be wispering over to your buddy when bombs and bullets are flying over your head. They scream at you for a reason so you can handle stress. Here it is if you have never been there you will never know.
Funny story! Back in the days when prisons could offer enlisting over jail time, the prisoners used to bring all sorts of crazy shit like marijuana, knives, stuff to gamble with, ect, and there's a display of all the crazy shit they confiscated at one of the fort leonardwood reception areas. It has a bunch of dumb shit, pretty fun to look at when you first show up there
Basically yeah lmao, bring your phone, charger, and like, a pair of clothes, but don't expect to see any of them for a while. You'll keep your wallet too (or atleast we did), so I would bring a 20$ or something just incase you get to go to the PX and you want to get some quality cough drops
I really appreciate these videos, even if they are old. It's good for me to understand EXACTLY what happens when you enlist and get shipped off to base. I am planning on joining the army, and these types of videos help a lot.
Two pieces of advice I was given after enlisting: 'bring a small personal bag to basic' and 'when they are asking for volunteers for something easy it's probably not what you think' Case in point while in reception they asked for everyone who was good with computers, etc. to raise their hands. Turns out some office furniture needed moved.
I remember they asked if someone had a computer knowledge, I ended having to secure everyone's laptops to there desk in the battalion. I ended up drilling into some majors desk that was 200 years old, not fun. Just following orders, Sir...
Or if it sounds difficult, its actually super easy. My drill sergeant asked if any of us were a really good with math, and it turned out we just had to count how many people were in the room.
I remember I was in that same exact room 8 years ago and I was the only person who didn’t have a bag. I left my house that day with my wallet, cell phone, docs and a pen that’s was it. I had the instructor tell me that I was one of the smartest individuals he’s come across. They give you literally everything you need at basic.
Bloe Me Away Concerning periods, I heard that you don’t even get them because of the stress. Don’t rely entirely on me though, I’m not a Marine/Army vet.
bobba lou I have no idea but I remember my recruiter giving me the list that your referring to but when he gave me the list, he told me not to worry about any of the items on it because it will all be provided at basic and he was right.
This instructor's nice. He's able to convey his points without coming across as an asshole. He's just doing his job like he's supposed to. This guy should be an example to follow.
I mean, a drill sergeant have to be intimidating and to the point when he needs to, he can be as mean as he wants as long as it is within the law. The first thing in military training is discipline and that’s what drill sergeants are. Drill Sergeants aren’t assholes, it’s only viewed that way by snowflakes going to the army thinking they’re better than everyone and thinks that they’re special only to have their heads pulled out of their arses by their drill sergeants . Drill sergeants do what they need to do in order for discipline, this is why there are 2 sort of people coming out of the military, one who actually participated and followed orders and do what is told and one who complains about how everyone is so rude and mean. Look, this is why we have highly trained soldiers working for the U.S Army not bimbos who complains and sit around, there is no place for that bullshittery. :3
I'm guessing this is reception, so it's a little more relaxed than when you get assigned to a training company. At least that's how it seemed at Benning.
Thats cause he's the introduction drill sargant, he doesnt have to deal with their shit very long. The bus transfer is where the work begins. From what ive heard. I didnt join Army though so just word of mouth
@@falconslayerking7846 Before I even got to Navy boot camp the Petty Officer that was signing us in at the airport immediately after landing was yelling at us for using "yessir" instead of "yes petty officer" when he told us where to go. Some recruits that were with us at that point where shaking and tearing up before the bus arrived to pick us up.
FalconSlayer King yes. The drill sergeants at reception don’t get angry very easily. Just annoyed. They only put up with your shit for like four days maximum so they don’t care
For those who haven't been through BCT, or any kind of inprocessing. I stood on those mats when I joined. They made very confusing commands and made it a very stressful situation intentionally. Lots of emotions and fear at times in the beginning. If you're going to BCT, just know that whatever they are doing, is purposeful, and timely. It's easy, just do it.
It's SIMPLE, not necessarily "easy" It definitely is not easy for a lot of people to be standing around for literally hours and hours at a time not knowing what is going on. I won't forget in reception how even at night when we were done processing for the day, the drill sergeants would still keep us standing around outside for hours (I had a watch on, it was several hours at a time) even seemingly around midnight before they finally let us go inside the buildings to our bays to sleep.
@@golfery5119 Better worded than what I said. But yeah, y'all got stuck out there cause your sleep schedule needed fixing. My group didn't sleep at all and we were up for over 48 hours. So reception inprocessing was rough.
@@EliteInExile Yeah we got there on a Monday and weren't allowed to sleep until Wednesday. If someone made me but gave me a choice, I would rather have repeated the two months of actual basic all over again than repeat that week of reception. Aside from the passing of a loved one, I think Army reception will be the worst experience of my life.
@@Alexanderrrrrrrrrrrrr - Set a reminder to come back to this video just before you go, and then play this little game with your own bag at home. Obviously there's more that wasn't recorded because he still has more empty bins, and he mentioned at 13:25 "that is gum, we will get to that" for the (scented) gum, but at least you'll be standing there doing nothing but shaking things for no good reason. Sergeant Simon says: • Bring what you're supposed to. • Bring new sealed packages of all undergarments so you don't have to open and shake each individually. • Bring shower products. • Bring one bag to put it all in with ... • ... only one large sealable plastic bag to separate those liquids you're allowed to have inside the main bag. • Bring nothing else. Stand there and do nothing but the hokey pokey in your square as you shake things all around. (Make sure it's right, left, left, left, left, left.) That's what it's all about!
@retrac3147 Think good and hard about joining the military. The world is a hotbed of chaos and fighting. If you do join take a MOS that is not Frontline. Take a support MOS not an infantry or other Frontline. Personally,with todays world I'd refrain from the military 🪖.
"I don't care if you don't think you have it, you will look" I would genuinely be worried that I'd accidentally packed 5 handguns and a block of plastic explosive
@Angel Vollant while what you say makes a lot of sense, some folks (especially in the south) don't see their pocket knife as a weapon but, rather just a handy tool and something that they bring with them without thinking about it, simply because they typically use them for so many things in life. Being that I've lived in the south my entire life of 40 years, I always carry a knife and was brought up to understand that no self respecting man, provider, father, brother, etc ever leaves home without certain things on them, knives are just one of many tools carried to make our own or our fellow American's lives easier if need be.😎
@@ronaldknisley9792 what company on the hill? I was in C-1-1-4 during the summer of 82, just down the hill from the infamous Drag Ass Hill. I went back to visit it during 2007 as my 25th anniv of going through boot camp - a bit different walking around as a LTC, and Drag Ass was a lot wider than when I was there originally. Cheers!
I went to Jackson for basic. It wasn't as bad as some would think. 4 of my "Drills" carried themselves just like this drill sgt. Dude's got my respect. Shout out to Drill Sergent "Budweiser" Aldrich and the rest of the A 1/34 "Black Knights" 2006!!!
U.S. military, regardless of the branch is all about mind games. Thats their way of dispatching the "waste" that can't mentally cut it!! Just like baseball, "There is no crying in basic!" As long as you play their games, learn the lessons and remember to run everywhere, you will make it to AIT!!! 😂
This is worse?? Nothing like boot camp was in the 60's They were on you from the time you woke up till the time you hit your racks non stop. Full, in the face screaming and demeaning. There idea was to take you apart and rebuild you their way.
"What is that?" "Shampoo" "Do u use that in the shower?" "Yes" "I HOPE SO" Remember to record this as one of the best things a drill sergeant ever said.
I believe I can learn a lot from this guy. The way he handles himself, the way he talks and gives instructions. Too bad I will never be able to, still, thank you for everything you do ! Best wishes from faraway Belgium !
"I'll never complain about an ineffective and useless government body infringing on my freedoms and abusing their power because the military is worse." Fucking tard.
Well it being probably an hour after getting off of the bus they haven't been conditioned yet and so yelling wouldn't get the best result yet until the night after when they're forced to stay up. After that night they'll mindlessly do anything the drill sergeant says.
I was thinking the same thing. Boy let me tell you, basic training at Ft Sill OK in the early 90’s was VERY VERY different experience then these young men and women went through.
My first stop in the Army 1981 was Ft Jackson. After three days, I thought this Army stuff was fun. The forth day, buses arrived and took us to Ft. Benning, that's when the fun ended.
Thats what happens when you’re whole life is groundhog day, year after year. You get really really good at mundane shit like this. But I do agree the fact that he doesn’t lose his military bearing is impressive and admirable.
I must confess I like this sgt. Clear voice, nice tone, professionalism, no attitude, no signs or actions of discrimination or to look down on trainees. I would love to stay in basic training for months under his command.
keep in mind this is only the very beginning of reception. the very first drill sergeants are not supposed to be hollering and acting crazy. Over the course of reception the recruits will meet more drill sergeants who act more aggressively. They finally won't meet the actual stereotypical hollering screaming wild drill sergeants until they actually get to basic training.
@@Ddamtonekimbungaechunsa you're right though. There was on drill at my basic that didnt arrive until the forst phase was over (were we get yelled at the most) bc he hated yelling. And I cant ever remember him yelling at us. He got firm and serious, but never yelled
I took AIT at Fort Jackson in the summer of 1967....was honor graduate in radio school...was PVT E-2 then and 18 yrs old...lots of memories at Fort Jackson...During AIT there I was put in detail a number of times serving as a pall bearer for soldiers killed in Vietnam...not knowing then I served afterwards in West Germany then Vietnam as an RTO for an inf unit...I was 19 during the time I returned back to states as a Sgt. Fort Jackson was great👍
First thing I learned in the army was to stop what I was doing and listen. Especially to listen and take in as much information as possible, then proceed to perform an action. I think it certainly has helped me in my civilian life now. Hahahah
remember the following speech at the airport "I speak in one tone, one speed, and only once. If you haven't figured it out there is a theme. ONE. Everything will be done according to this theme. Anyone that thinks they can't abide this step forward. This is your one and only chance to be leave and return home without reprisal. (People Left) Then he coninued: Do not hold judgement over those that left. They had intelligence, courage, and integrity to know their limits. It is Those of you that are still here that are fear judgement, unwilling to admit to yourself, and blindly following in others shoes. They are weakest and heaviest links. That in the end your unit will have to pickup and carry.
The first thing I learned in basic was that the goal was to break me down and re build me better. I resented it. Then I realized who was there with me. It was miserable.
Theres a means to convey demand while at the same time doing so in a respectful tone that gives you the results you desire without being rude or excessive, but remaining professional and dignified. This DI does it so well, and I have much respect for him.
I dont know why these guys brought that much stuff to Boot Camp. We didnt bring anything but ourselves and what we could fit in a pocket. No mouthwash, nail clippers no brushes nothing. Everthying we were allowed to have we were given or bought at the NEX while in
I was that guy who got disciplined in life from my mum. If I act up, there is no pushups, I'm getting a beating!! No body will ever tell me what to do, unless it's the boss, aka MUM. TRUTH.
To be fair, though, he did say anything sharp and the teeth on keys are sharp and can be used as weapons. I wouldn't have thought about my keys but I can see how someone who knows their life is about to be shit for the next few weeks can freak out and think keys are included in that "if it's sharp or has a point" bit.
I did basic at Ft Jackson. It was hard bit great. . When we got our hair cut. The guy leaned over and whispered in my ear. "It's hard but you can do it and some day someone will be proud of you."
Good for you, at Marine Corps boot camp I was told everyday that nobody gives a fuck and guess what they're right... NOBODY FUCKING CARES AND NOBODY EVER WILL!!
@@masonmarlatt15 sounds like osut, bro i swear they only show the shit soft skills go threw, like if they had this video for any combat arms guys youtube would have censor that shit.

@@matthewwhitt9398 nope you are wrong this is just basic training I served and here I am not a POW and never was. When you go to your unit that's when the real training begins
This Drill Sergeant is organized and squared away, that’s for sure. As a former Marine, this is always how I pictured Army basic training, unlike some of the other Army videos I’ve seen where the Drill Sergeants are just as undisciplined as the people they are supposed to be training.
This is DS Locke, he was my DS 4 years ago. He’s exactly like the way he appears in the video. His tone was a lot scarier in person, especially when you fucked up. He was an excellent infantry man and taught me how to shoot, as I struggled coming from CA. He was not over the top which is why I think everyone respected him.
It's so funny. My father told me, when I was going to boot camp said, "Don't take anything. Everything will be taken away from you and given what they want you to have." RTC Orlando (US Navy 1970)
@@nononenada My younger brother had to stop by Ft. Jackson on his way to MCRDPI to drop of fresh recruits, he told me how slack they were and I laughed, DSgt came up and got his guys with "Hey guys, follow me" all nice and shit, of course Ft. Hood is no better, and these arent recruits, MP's with 2 weeks of stubble, one with a nose ring, wearing their cover inside stores off base, general sack nasty shit. They popped one guy last year trying to kill a hooker, he didnt know it was a cop, dude showed up with a body bag, rope, duct tape and a knife..
Basic training is a time of confusion and fear. But by the end of boot camp that confusion and fear is long gone. You're military now, you made it. You always hear about the few the proud the Marines. Well I can promise you whether you're an airman a sailor or a soldier, you're just as proud!
I love how calm he is the whole time, even with the airheads. Like that kid who was told 57 times not to bring up shower stuff, and brought up ALL the shower stuff.
Yeah let's just hope that kid doesn't have to be told that many times to duck if he ever sees combat this kind of lovey dovey training is not doing these kids any favors it actually puts their lives at risk
@Twoswordsdrizzt that’s because they’re not allowed to scream your eardrums out as soon as you get off the bus anymore. That kid would’ve been crying till he threw up on himself if this were ‘00. When I first got to basic they took muster to make sure they had everyone from MEPS (of course) and as they read off the names this one kid corrected the Drill Sergeant on how to pronounce his name. The Drill Seargeant got a millimeter from this dude’s ear and told him in the calmest voice “Shut the **** up. It’s not my fault your mother gave you a ****ing jacked up name.” Then proceeded to stare him down. The dude actually began shaking. The Drill Sergeant then returned to his place at the front of the group and completed muster.
Nicholas Burch Now a days, RDS’s are out of their way, basically just waiting to get their pay and go. So they’re more laxed than those DS’s who actually gotta stay with their Company
Nicholas Burch My reception DS were really chill and whatnot. All we did was in-processing and wait. They even warned us about watching out for BCT DS because they admitted having a reception DS is totally different from ha having a BCT DS.
Crazy that it’s been 13.5 months since I arrived to 120th BN at Jackson. It’s a very foggy memory but I made some good friends while at reception before even going to my BCT company.
Shut the fuck up about Marines. They are nothing special AT ALL! My Battalion had to jump from Northern Iraq to Ramadi Iraq because the Marines got their asses kicked bad. Look it up! 2006 to 2007 Battle for Ramadi. Un the Command of then Col. McFarland. Marines are over rated
@@XxkrispbaconxX Apparently you need a dictionary because a cry baby is a child whom sheds tears frequently. As far as the Marines go, I beg you to go look it up and come back with 5 reasons the Marines are the greatest. They are a corp of only a certain amount of people who need to get rides from the Navy. They dont even have the same equipment as the Army (more proof in the 2006-2007 battle for Ramadi). So please, I'll what. Marines are trained to win battles (except for most of Iraq) and the Army is trained to win wars.
Oh, man in the 80s they called us every name they could think of. Not only that but insulted our mothers and anyone else they thought would piss us off. I even once caught a boot to my rear during a low crawling exercise. You just eat it and do not talk back or retaliate in any way. That is if you're smart. Some people in basic while I was there attempted to u alive themselves. They were charged with destruction of government property.
They’re a bit ‘nicer’ at reception. That’s a relative word. I was there in 1996 and it was definitely a shock to the system. However, after a few days you ship to your training battalion and the hell breaks loose. Night & day. It was amazing to watch my drill sergeant change the closer we got to graduation. On graduation day, he was actually pretty cool. It’s an amazing process that changes you from the bottom up, if you let it. I don’t regret it for a moment. Airborne
When I was in Basic Training at Ft Benning, in 1998, we had to take our bags into an "amnesty room" before the shakedown. Everybody had to go into this small, private room, a little bigger than a closet. Each person had to go in there alone. Then, there's no witnesses and no video cameras. That was so that, if you had something illegal, you had that one chance to throw it away and nobody would ever know you had it. You could have drugs, weapons or anything else and you could anonymously throw it away and nobody would ever know you had it. If you didn't throw it away and the drill Sgt found it, you could get kicked out of the Army, get arrested or, if it was something small and a minor offense, they would just take it away and have you do push-ups. After we went into the amnesty room, we dumped our bags onto a table and the Drill Sergeants checked everything.
@MELANIE PAMELA GRAVE CIFUENTES you see people from literally all backgrounds (racial,ethnic,social,cultural) so the chances of someone doing something "unexpected" increases
This is vastly different from going to Marine Corps boot camp. For one thing , this Army thing is much quieter and slower paced. And in the Marine Corps version you were allowed to bring the clothing you had on , your ID , and your soul. That’s it.
@@bigmike- Yeah, but what it gives you in return is bragging rights for life. Proudly sporting the Eagle , Globe, and Anchor is an achievement that is hard to earn, and many have failed trying.
This is just reception, takes anywhere from 3 days to week depending on where you go. It's structured with not a lot of yelling or corrective training. Just meant to get you quickly processed in is all. Once you arrive at your barracks, that is where you meet your drill cadre and then begin with the "shark attack".
I've never felt more like a child in the principal's office than now, and unlike a principal this guy has earned the respect he demands which makes him even more intimidating.
@@SirPano85 do you even know the process to become a DS? they have to go through boot camp again basically, but it's way harder and you don't have a choice.
It's always the quiet Drills who are the most intimidating. Our Senior Drill was like that. Never shouted, other than to be sure he was heard by the people in the back of a formation. And for a 5 foot 7 160 pound man, he was and still is, in my mind, the single most intimidating person I have ever met
Did the same thing in 1976. I was a N.G. recruit for the Hawaii national guard..Fort Jackson was my basic training ,then off to ft. Benning for A.I.T. 11C infantry was my M.O.S. .Sgt. Mobley was my D.I. along with Sgt. Prat. It was a very hard but interesting endeavor. But it got me in top shape. I was proud to be a military man and look back on my service with pride..the 20 mile full pack march with weapon was the hardest part..it was raining all the time and it was cold..God bless the Army and God bless America.
STEVE P no for bootcamp that's not tough my RDC wasn't tough either for this part because this is important before your actually in training they don't get angry and scream because you need to be able to clearly process what he's telling you to do
You sort of know what to expect when you arrive, probably have talked to others about the procedure. Not sure I slept the first night in the temporary quarters until you are bused or flown to your more permanent base for basic training. After a week I got used to it all, and had no problems. Some guys failed, mostly for being out of shape, and couldn't take the training, some even ended up in the hospital. It wasn't really that tough, I was surprised at some guys who just were so out of shape.
Oh my God. I would’ve been lost the moment he said “squares.” Like, “wtf?? Squares?? Where? You want us to form a square amongst ourselves??? The bins? You want us to get in front of them?? Or...??” I’d just follow everyone else with that shit.
So the squares he's talking about are like those foam puzzle pieces that they use as floor in kindergartens. For some reason that's the floor in that room.

@Vash Matrix of course it is man. I don't care what its legally classified, it alters your ability to accurately perceive things and operate machinery. Same does with other drugs.
I been there in 2008! It’s a nightmare that feels it never end. Everyone has the “what did I get myself into” look on his/her face”. The first few weeks are living hell. The last few weeks of basic training are Heaven!
Mr Peace You want a Nightmare go to Fort Benning Sand Hill. There is a reason those of us that went to Fort Benning...Home of the Infantry...called Fort Jackson Relaxing Jackson.
I love the National Guard, since I was a little girl in a state home. I knew I was all alone in the world but at Christmas time, these wonderful people came to the home and listened to me, brought me lovely gifts and said they would pray for me. Now I'm 60, still see their faces smiling down at me and my love and support will be forever.

My dad told my brother you don't need anything but your important id paperwork, any prescriptions, don't take more than $5.00 cash, brand new clean socks, underwear and your file free nail clippers as anything else taken to bootcamp will be thrown out. Mind you everything must be in sealed original packaging with absolutely no openings. My brother went into bootcamp as a boy and came back as a man. Literally the military provides your every basic need, food, shelter, clothes and exercise. Not to mention medical care if absolutely necessary, they educate you on how to survive on exceptionally low amounts of sleep and personal time.

He's also on camera. They always seem nicer.
DDB clear, effective, communication. There will be time to dig in their ass, this is not the time 👌🏻
What a joke! "Hey soy boys and girls, you are in the guard now". Gee eeez, these millennials would have pissed their pants in the 90s basic training. Sad this is what we've become. #thankful4my2ndamendment
@J Cook. They are in the buildings that were built that time. They used to do it outside.
You may think that but they have their bad days. And if he isn't an A-Hole your other sargeant is bound to be an A-Hole. :}
When I went to basic I literally had everything I owned in the world with me. 3 duffel bags full. It was interesting explaining how I grew up in foster care and literally had nowhere to have my belongings once I left there. Thankfully they understood and it all just went in storage.
Yikes. I assume that's not the first time they've encountered that sort of thing.
Why didn’t you get a storage for it and go back when your done ?
@@museme6309 no money for any type of storage unit. No very close friends i could leave them with. My plans were to not be back in the area, just start my career and move on with my life.

His directions are so clear and precise they are almost confusing
thank high school for that, half the teachers don’t even know what instructions are 😐
And it's funny because even this very clear instructions. People still managed to f it up.
@@S1D3W1ND3R015 Because teachers don’t give proper instructions in school. Kids are often told “figure it out” by adults that they have a hard time adjusting to precise and austere instruction by drill sergeants, by which time they are used to being forced to do everything on their own.
He’s good at explaining things quickly and clearly. That’s a sign of really experienced leadership.
Try teaching cadets... even with college, they are super slow to pick up information and follow instructions
This was probably filmed at 3am after a long bus ride and no food. I can still feel that sleepy/exhausted feeling along with the confusion, adrenaline and excitement. 6 years later I'm a warrant officer flying Blackhawks. The army will be a wonderful career if you embrace it and set goals
I understand that Army helo pilots are some of the best becsuse of all the flight time they get. In the Marines, you are a rifleman first, even if you fly. In the Navy, they don't fly as much as you think as they have management obligations as well. In all other branches, I think only officers fly. But you can be a WO in the Army and fly . From what I've heard, you guys do just that: fly
What does a warrant officer do?
@@cletus2199 i miss my Army buddies
Exactly. A mistake i made when i was young. It was everything i needed at the time.
That’s the path I want to take myself, just enlisted as a 15T for the guard. Any tips on what to keep in check along the way?
The army needs to teach people to stop filming things vertically.
Damn! Didn't they teach you that in basic?
Mike Donovan we decided to see if instead maybe we can get you guys to turn your monitors and TVs vertically...I’m seeing more monitors being turned to the side than phones held horizontally.

"you are stepping on your phone" surprisingly considerate
I found that a bit jarring as well. Funny.

They're actually pretty protective of the young recruits and generally nice people. Its a misconception that they're mean. They do this to make sure no contraband enters the facility. Looks like fort Campbell.
What do you expect, it’s relaxin Jackson.
It was purposely pointed out to make him feel stupid. The drill sergeants that never call you names can be the most intimidating.
Is it weird that I actually really love how precise his language is? Little is left unsaid
He's literally talking to the dumbest person in the room. They understand that some of them will be training to become military intelligence after BCT and some will be working in supply or 11-B because they didn't score high enough on the ASVAB to get a real MOS.

One DI asked does anyone have drivers license? Those who raised their hands got to push a wheelbarrow. Lol😂
This drill instructor is a true soldier. Clear, consice, informative, strong, tough and most importantly...Professional!
I'm sorry, but I don't see any ounce of tough here. But yet I was in the marine corps so to me this is way to soft. And as a marine we are just a defferent breed. I do respect all branches though. We are all a team.
i agree.. no need to scream like a lunatic, he have the voice of authority and thats alone make me respect him
It's called a fog of war and high stress. do you think your going to be wispering over to your buddy when bombs and bullets are flying over your head. They scream at you for a reason so you can handle stress. Here it is if you have never been there you will never know.

"Drugs and narcotics." Lol. I wanted to see someone come up and dump a kilo of coke into that bin.
Funny story! Back in the days when prisons could offer enlisting over jail time, the prisoners used to bring all sorts of crazy shit like marijuana, knives, stuff to gamble with, ect, and there's a display of all the crazy shit they confiscated at one of the fort leonardwood reception areas. It has a bunch of dumb shit, pretty fun to look at when you first show up there
bro i would die if that happened. when he said “weapons” i wanted someone to bring up a fucking gun 😂
Basically yeah lmao, bring your phone, charger, and like, a pair of clothes, but don't expect to see any of them for a while. You'll keep your wallet too (or atleast we did), so I would bring a 20$ or something just incase you get to go to the PX and you want to get some quality cough drops
Ha, imagine them dumping needles, dozens of pill bottles, pipes, heroin, meth, guns, grenades, RPG’s and MANPADS!
Drugs...medical drugs
I really appreciate these videos, even if they are old. It's good for me to understand EXACTLY what happens when you enlist and get shipped off to base. I am planning on joining the army, and these types of videos help a lot.
Army Mom of four soldiers here. Don’t do it! You’ll end up disabled and broken. Please, please, go to an Air Force or Navy recruiter instead!
Listen to the mother of the four soldiers. Don't do it, don't fall for the propaganda. They won't even care for you when you are out.
Two pieces of advice I was given after enlisting:
'bring a small personal bag to basic'
and
'when they are asking for volunteers for something easy it's probably not what you think'
Case in point while in reception they asked for everyone who was good with computers, etc. to raise their hands. Turns out some office furniture needed moved.
I remember they asked if someone had a computer knowledge, I ended having to secure everyone's laptops to there desk in the battalion. I ended up drilling into some majors desk that was 200 years old, not fun. Just following orders, Sir...
Sean J d
@BornToRunBarefoot holy shit, I guess karma really happened hard
Or if it sounds difficult, its actually super easy. My drill sergeant asked if any of us were a really good with math, and it turned out we just had to count how many people were in the room.
@@GeriStrawberry that's the reverse logic of army lol
I remember I was in that same exact room 8 years ago and I was the only person who didn’t have a bag. I left my house that day with my wallet, cell phone, docs and a pen that’s was it. I had the instructor tell me that I was one of the smartest individuals he’s come across. They give you literally everything you need at basic.
Even feminine products for females?
Bloe Me Away Concerning periods, I heard that you don’t even get them because of the stress. Don’t rely entirely on me though, I’m not a Marine/Army vet.
@@soup8451 I'm sure that's true for some people but I wouldnt count on that
then why does the recruiter give you a list of items to take to basic??
bobba lou I have no idea but I remember my recruiter giving me the list that your referring to but when he gave me the list, he told me not to worry about any of the items on it because it will all be provided at basic and he was right.
This instructor's nice. He's able to convey his points without coming across as an asshole. He's just doing his job like he's supposed to. This guy should be an example to follow.
Yes. Hollywood sont seem to like kind teachers
I mean, a drill sergeant have to be intimidating and to the point when he needs to, he can be as mean as he wants as long as it is within the law. The first thing in military training is discipline and that’s what drill sergeants are. Drill Sergeants aren’t assholes, it’s only viewed that way by snowflakes going to the army thinking they’re better than everyone and thinks that they’re special only to have their heads pulled out of their arses by their drill sergeants . Drill sergeants do what they need to do in order for discipline, this is why there are 2 sort of people coming out of the military, one who actually participated and followed orders and do what is told and one who complains about how everyone is so rude and mean.
Look, this is why we have highly trained soldiers working for the U.S Army not bimbos who complains and sit around, there is no place for that bullshittery.
:3
I'm guessing this is reception, so it's a little more relaxed than when you get assigned to a training company. At least that's how it seemed at Benning.
He's only retrival DS for that hour. The real drill sergeants are waiting at the barracks
@@someguy2393 When did you go to Benning? in '98, they were screaming and in our faces, even at reception.
Went through basic in 88 and drill instructors were yelling and screaming couldn't understand them. This instructor was clear and professional.

Thats cause he's the introduction drill sargant, he doesnt have to deal with their shit very long. The bus transfer is where the work begins. From what ive heard. I didnt join Army though so just word of mouth
@@falconslayerking7846 Before I even got to Navy boot camp the Petty Officer that was signing us in at the airport immediately after landing was yelling at us for using "yessir" instead of "yes petty officer" when he told us where to go. Some recruits that were with us at that point where shaking and tearing up before the bus arrived to pick us up.
Sean Mobley ha “petty” officer....perfect title, too
FalconSlayer King yes. The drill sergeants at reception don’t get angry very easily. Just annoyed. They only put up with your shit for like four days maximum so they don’t care
For those who haven't been through BCT, or any kind of inprocessing. I stood on those mats when I joined. They made very confusing commands and made it a very stressful situation intentionally. Lots of emotions and fear at times in the beginning. If you're going to BCT, just know that whatever they are doing, is purposeful, and timely. It's easy, just do it.
It's SIMPLE, not necessarily "easy" It definitely is not easy for a lot of people to be standing around for literally hours and hours at a time not knowing what is going on. I won't forget in reception how even at night when we were done processing for the day, the drill sergeants would still keep us standing around outside for hours (I had a watch on, it was several hours at a time) even seemingly around midnight before they finally let us go inside the buildings to our bays to sleep.
@@golfery5119 Better worded than what I said. But yeah, y'all got stuck out there cause your sleep schedule needed fixing. My group didn't sleep at all and we were up for over 48 hours. So reception inprocessing was rough.
@@EliteInExile Yeah we got there on a Monday and weren't allowed to sleep until Wednesday. If someone made me but gave me a choice, I would rather have repeated the two months of actual basic all over again than repeat that week of reception.

@@Alexanderrrrrrrrrrrrr - Set a reminder to come back to this video just before you go, and then play this little game with your own bag at home. Obviously there's more that wasn't recorded because he still has more empty bins, and he mentioned at 13:25 "that is gum, we will get to that" for the (scented) gum, but at least you'll be standing there doing nothing but shaking things for no good reason.
Sergeant Simon says:
• Bring what you're supposed to.
• Bring new sealed packages of all undergarments so you don't have to open and shake each individually.
• Bring shower products.
• Bring one bag to put it all in with ...
• ... only one large sealable plastic bag to separate those liquids you're allowed to have inside the main bag.
• Bring nothing else.
Stand there and do nothing but the hokey pokey in your square as you shake things all around. (Make sure it's right, left, left, left, left, left.)
That's what it's all about!

@Angel Vollant while what you say makes a lot of sense, some folks (especially in the south) don't see their pocket knife as a weapon but, rather just a handy tool and something that they bring with them without thinking about it, simply because they typically use them for so many things in life.
Being that I've lived in the south my entire life of 40 years, I always carry a knife and was brought up to understand that no self respecting man, provider, father, brother, etc ever leaves home without certain things on them, knives are just one of many tools carried to make our own or our fellow American's lives easier if need be.😎

Most Drills are very professional. If you think yelling is unprofessional, they do it to toughen you up. Yelling is part of their job.

keep in mind this is only the very beginning of reception. the very first drill sergeants are not supposed to be hollering and acting crazy.

Everything will be done according to this theme. Anyone that thinks they can't abide this step forward. This is your one and only chance to be leave and return home without reprisal. (People Left)

This Drill Sergeant is organized and squared away, that’s for sure.
As a former Marine, this is always how I pictured Army basic training, unlike some of the other Army videos I’ve seen where the Drill Sergeants are just as undisciplined as the people they are supposed to be training.
This is DS Locke, he was my DS 4 years ago. He’s exactly like the way he appears in the video. His tone was a lot scarier in person, especially when you fucked up. He was an excellent infantry man and taught me how to shoot, as I struggled coming from CA. He was not over the top which is why I think everyone respected him.

Hood is no better, and these arent recruits, MP's with 2 weeks of stubble, one with a nose ring, wearing their cover inside stores off base, general sack nasty shit. They popped one guy last year trying to kill a hooker, he didnt know it was a cop, dude showed up with a body bag, rope, duct tape and a knife..
“Relaxin’ Jackson” is what they called it when I went through. That it was.
The 120th was the worst part of IET. We all felt relief arriving to bct since we no longer had to be in reception hell
Basic training is a time of confusion and fear. But by the end of boot camp that confusion and fear is long gone. You're military now, you made it. You always hear about the few the proud the Marines. Well I can promise you whether you're an airman a sailor or a soldier, you're just as proud!
I don't think 1/2 of them understand what "dumping your bag means."
LOL, nope.
Mr Seen LMFAOOOO
I love how calm he is the whole time, even with the airheads. Like that kid who was told 57 times not to bring up shower stuff, and brought up ALL the shower stuff.
Yeah let's just hope that kid doesn't have to be told that many times to duck if he ever sees combat this kind of lovey dovey training is not doing these kids any favors it actually puts their lives at risk
@@kurtgriffin4163 you are angry in every thread of this videos comment section. props
@@Mallenaudrix angry?
Lmao
@Twoswordsdrizzt that’s because they’re not allowed to scream your eardrums out as soon as you get off the bus anymore. That kid would’ve been crying till he threw up on himself if this were ‘00. When I first got to basic they took muster to make sure they had everyone from MEPS (of course) and as they read off the names this one kid corrected the Drill Sergeant on how to pronounce his name. The Drill Seargeant got a millimeter from this dude’s ear and told him in the calmest voice “Shut the **** up. It’s not my fault your mother gave you a ****ing jacked up name.” Then proceeded to stare him down. The dude actually began shaking. The Drill Sergeant then returned to his place at the front of the group and completed muster.
Do they get a attendance ribbon for this intense training? This is such a soft approach to combat readiness. Semper Fi.
8:12 If this wasn’t being recorded, the Drill Sergeant would’ve seriously lost his shit when everyone started moving after being instructed not to.
Beta Sword Doubtful. This is reception. Reception is typically more relaxed than actual basic training drill sergeants.
@@DiamondDragonCraft
You funny was in 98 was in Jackson and this process was outside and yelling. This so calm its funny.
@@DiamondDragonCraft I believe reception drill sergeants are on their way out of being a drill sergeant. Atleast my reception drill sergeants were

Nicholas Burch My reception DS were really chill and whatnot. All we did was in-processing and wait. They even warned us about watching out for BCT DS because they admitted having a reception DS is totally different from ha having a BCT DS.

This is by far the most calm shake down ever…marine corps recruit training shakedown is just all screaming lol
There’s another shakedown when the trainees get to their company’s barracks
True story kawi Kris but I never saw any women recruits in my boot camp what the hell!?
Shut the fuck up about Marines. They are nothing special AT ALL! My Battalion had to jump from Northern Iraq to Ramadi Iraq because the Marines got their asses kicked bad. Look it up! 2006 to 2007 Battle for Ramadi. Un the Command of then Col. McFarland. Marines are over rated
@@W.Vanderbilt the marines are the greatest fighting force on the face of the planet. Not all battles go according to plan. Don’t be a cry baby.
@@XxkrispbaconxX Apparently you need a dictionary because a cry baby is a child whom sheds tears frequently. As far as the Marines go, I beg you to go look it up and come back with 5 reasons the Marines are the greatest. They are a corp of only a certain amount of people who need to get rides from the Navy. They dont even have the same equipment as the Army (more proof in the 2006-2007 battle for Ramadi). So please, I'll what.
Marines are trained to win battles (except for most of Iraq) and the Army is trained to win wars.
Imagine being the one guy who actually had a fidget spinner and had to go up there.
"It relives my anxiety"
Embarrassing!!! Hahaha
You meant gambling device right
That's a common one these days unfortunately
I said the same. Felt so bad for him. But he was straight faced and honorable. Bless him and thank you whoever you are for your service.
11:18 I can just tell the look of disappointment and shame on the drill Sergeants face when he actually brought up a fidget spinner.
Brilliant, he looked in the bin then watched the guy walk away,pure disappointment at the people hes been protecting
@Unknown PrO oh yeh, they've marked him out alright.
That's how a Drill Sgt. Should be. No name calling, No racial comments, No berating.
Oh, man in the 80s they called us every name they could think of. Not only that but insulted our mothers and anyone else they thought would piss us off. I even once caught a boot to my rear during a low crawling exercise. You just eat it and do not talk back or retaliate in any way. That is if you're smart. Some people in basic while I was there attempted to u alive themselves. They were charged with destruction of government property.
He seems chill; I bet that changes in a few days
He's just a reception Drill, They're alot nicer than your company Drills.
@@kylelin4408 i disagree
@@kylelin4408 I can confirm this
They’re a bit ‘nicer’ at reception. That’s a relative word. I was there in 1996 and it was definitely a shock to the system. However, after a few days you ship to your training battalion and the hell breaks loose. Night & day. It was amazing to watch my drill sergeant change the closer we got to graduation. On graduation day, he was actually pretty cool. It’s an amazing process that changes you from the bottom up, if you let it. I don’t regret it for a moment. Airborne
13:48 “What is that?” “Shampoo” “Do you use that in the shower” “Yes” “I hope so”

Favourite part of the video
How about a YES DRILL SGT??
My reception would’ve lost their shit
He won’t last 5 minutes 😂
LOL
When I was in Basic Training at Ft Benning, in 1998, we had to take our bags into an "amnesty room" before the shakedown. Everybody had to go into this small, private room, a little bigger than a closet. Each person had to go in there alone. Then, there's no witnesses and no video cameras. That was so that, if you had something illegal, you had that one chance to throw it away and nobody would ever know you had it.
You could have drugs, weapons or anything else and you could anonymously throw it away and nobody would ever know you had it.
If you didn't throw it away and the drill Sgt found it, you could get kicked out of the Army, get arrested or, if it was something small and a minor offense, they would just take it away and have you do push-ups.
After we went into the amnesty room, we dumped our bags onto a table and the Drill Sergeants checked everything.
I’m now imagining people going in their with rifles and such
They do it at Fort Leonardwood too
@MELANIE PAMELA GRAVE CIFUENTES youd be suprised, lots of morons in the military
@MELANIE PAMELA GRAVE CIFUENTES you see people from literally all backgrounds (racial,ethnic,social,cultural) so the chances of someone doing something "unexpected" increases

What a challenging job! Thank you recruting officers! You educate, and your performance, become the best 9:11 9:11 naval officers! Thank you!
This is vastly different from going to Marine Corps boot camp. For one thing , this Army thing is much quieter and slower paced. And in the Marine Corps version you were allowed to bring the clothing you had on , your ID , and your soul. That’s it.
Don't you lie - The Corps takes your soul from you, too! :P
@@bigmike- that's why you had to bring it
@@bigmike- Yeah, but what it gives you in return is bragging rights for life. Proudly sporting the Eagle , Globe, and Anchor is an achievement that is hard to earn, and many have failed trying.
This is just reception, takes anywhere from 3 days to week depending on where you go. It's structured with not a lot of yelling or corrective training. Just meant to get you quickly processed in is all.
Once you arrive at your barracks, that is where you meet your drill cadre and then begin with the "shark attack".
Air Force > Marines
“Take your money and put it away” ... WHEREEEE. That’s also another thing I’d struggle with
I was struggling w the same thing 😭
Where do you put the money?
in your pocket
To your pockets my guys
Pockets or bag or wallet I mean for incase carry it for anything can happen just be prepared eventually you’ll get an eagle card.
I've never felt more like a child in the principal's office than now, and unlike a principal this guy has earned the respect he demands which makes him even more intimidating.
Earned how?
@@SirPano85 do you even know the process to become a DS? they have to go through boot camp again basically, but it's way harder and you don't have a choice.
It's always the quiet Drills who are the most intimidating. Our Senior Drill was like that. Never shouted, other than to be sure he was heard by the people in the back of a formation. And for a 5 foot 7 160 pound man, he was and still is, in my mind, the single most intimidating person I have ever met
Principals have 20+ years of experience in teaching. I dont know how that is lesser than being in the army 5-6 years
@@charlierunkle19 sounds lame. Pass
Did the same thing in 1976. I was a N.G. recruit for the Hawaii national guard..Fort Jackson was my basic training ,then off to ft. Benning for A.I.T. 11C infantry was my M.O.S. .Sgt. Mobley was my D.I. along with Sgt. Prat. It was a very hard but interesting endeavor. But it got me in top shape. I was proud to be a military man and look back on my service with pride..the 20 mile full pack march with weapon was the hardest part..it was raining all the time and it was cold..God bless the Army and God bless America.

This Drill Sergeant is tough, but not too tough. He has a hard job, his job is to transform them from civilians into soldiers.
STEVE P no for bootcamp that's not tough my RDC wasn't tough either for this part because this is important before your actually in training they don't get angry and scream because you need to be able to clearly process what he's telling you to do
Y Yeezyy This. Plus most people are already terrified at this point. They put the fear of God into us at the *airport* (USAF)
You sort of know what to expect when you arrive, probably have talked to others about the procedure. Not sure I slept the first night in the temporary quarters until you are bused or flown to your more permanent base for basic training. After a week I got used to it all, and had no problems. Some guys failed, mostly for being out of shape, and couldn't take the training, some even ended up in the hospital. It wasn't really that tough, I was surprised at some guys who just were so out of shape.
iworkout You’d figures that entering the “military” would require you to have even a slight physical build to you

So the squares he's talking about are like those foam puzzle pieces that they use as floor in kindergartens. For some reason that's the floor in that room.
That’s probably what most people did, to my understanding the training is meant to be hard to follow and confusing and just cause anxiety.

Thanks for sharing that. I have a ministry and we share with those in need each day. It feels good to hear stories of victory. God bless you!!!

My dad told my brother you don't need anything but your important id paperwork, any prescriptions, don't take more than $5.00 cash, brand new clean socks, underwear and your file free nail clippers as anything else taken to bootcamp will be thrown out. Mind you everything must be in sealed original packaging with absolutely no openings. My brother went into bootcamp as a boy and came back as a man.
