  • United States Army Basic Training (also known as Initial Entry Training, IET) is the recruit training program of physical and mental preparation for service in the United States Army, United States Army Reserve or Army National Guard. Basic training typically takes place over 10 weeks. Upon completion of the program, the recruits will earn the title “Soldier.” The title of Soldier is earned, never given.

    I am 55 years old now. I still remember Basic Training. It was funny in away. The guys that should have made it, sometimes didn't. The guy you thought would have failed, usually had more heart than expected and did better. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

      I'm 14, and I'm thinking about becoming either a soldier or a marine. I want to become a filmmaker when I'm done there (if I go). The only problem is that I'm sensitive. But I feel like the drill sergeants yelling at me wouldn't bother me too much because I know they're only trying to make me a better soldier. What do you think I should do?

    • @mikeeasterday9557
      @mikeeasterday9557 6 лет назад +34

      You are 14 . you have 4 years to think about it first of all . Talk to other veterans. Go to an American Legion Post near you, and really talk to those people. Without meeting you , it would be unfair of me to give personal advice.

    • @mikeeasterday9557
      @mikeeasterday9557 6 лет назад +9

      Since that reply I realized I'm not as sensitive as I thought. I was when I was 10, though. I literally wouldn't hurt a fly. Not anymore, though. Also, since that reply, I watched videos on the Navy, and I think that would be a better choice for me. I'm thinking Mass Communications (MC) since I want to be a filmmaker.

      Find something that will give you college credit and can be used in the civilian world. You will still have to deal with basic training. But it is mostly a mental game. Just remember even when the drill instructors are screaming at you . They actually want to see you succeed.

    Even if people say that these recruits are skinny, weak, flabby or slow, so long a recruit has the spirt of determination, perseverance and discipline, they will be made to the fine soldiers in service of this great nation. Furthermore for those still criticising, the fact that these men gave so much up for an ideal, you do not matter and should hold up and introspect.

      John Wood In the USMC they would have to pass a strength test before hand composed of 3 pull-ups 55 sit-ups both within 2 minutes of being started with a 3 minute break. Followed by a 1.5 mile of at least 15 minutes. Don’t down play a soldier or trainee trying to prove his steel due to your insecurities the Army and Corps are well respected branches and the best fighting forces this planet will ever see.

      3 pullups? Yeah right, they wouldnt let you do that. 55 situps? More like 115, and that's barely anything. And a 1.5 mile run within 15? More like 9 lol.

    The basics of Boot Camp:
    1. Reception - Get all your gear
    2. First 72 - 3 days of basically hell, this will be the hardest part.
    2. Red Phase - You will be broken down as an individual, learn your rifle and exercise.
    3. White Phase - Most at the range getting qualified.
    4. Blue Phase - Hone in your skills and pass all final test.

    Right before I left 30th AG to go "down range" to training I'll never forget what our reception Sgt said "Some of you men will realize you aint as tough as you think you are and some of you men will realize you're tougher than you ever thought you could be"
    Some days you will have the time of your life, some days you will wish
    to be anywhere but there... long when it's over you will beg to have it
    back.
    Just remember the more you sweat in training the less you bleed in
    combat, good luck.
    My best advice for those about to go to basic, realize very very quickly that your platoon is your family for the next 10 weeks, don't fight, don't argue, come together as a team because they are the ones who have your back and you theirs. They will pick you up when you fall, they will motivate you when you're crying to go home.

Lately my country has approached relations with America and we have signaled our interest in joining forces with America to conclude economic, political and military agreements. In our borders to the north we are facing an increasing threat of the dictatorial regime of mature in Venezuela and for that reason my country is rearming with the intention of defending of a possible aggression. We count on Americans, considered by us as brothers, to maintain stability, peace and democracy throughout the continent. and can count on us for this mission.

He insulted and harassed us constantly! By the end of training, you could daydream while he screamed and yelled at you, while beating your head with the brim of his campaign hate. He would PT us to near exhaustion. Train, train, train! When he did speak kindly to us, I soon learned that he was about to really hurt us! But, I Finished, feeling like a real badass!

    Imagine being in a platoon, tasked to take the base of a plateau that has multiple artillery guns firing on friendly positions. Your mission is to sieze the artillery guns and make the US soldiers retreat back into the valley. You are walking with your squad, hearing the artillery become louder and louder until it becomes the only thing you hear when the guns fire. Suddenly, you hear a branch snap, so you look to your right. You think it was a deer, but the Sergeant tells you and a fellow squadmate to go and check it out. You suddenly see something large, it's probably the deer, so you call out to your squadmate, but he doesn't respond. You feel a tight grab on your neck and within the span of two blinks, you have a knife to your throat. You hear the rest of the squad coming to see what's going on, as you and your fellow soldier stopped responding. After the foliage reveals your squad, you hear a US soldier yell to attack, and you see at least ninety soldiers get up from the ground in full ghillie suits charging at your unit and the rest of your platoon while running like literal dogs. It's like a bayonet charge. Your platoon immediately opens fire, but your thirty-five strong platoon can't compare to the company of US soldiers doggie running at you with M-16s'. You feel the hand on your throat release its grip after you heard a bullet whiz right past your head. You can now see behind you, but you wish you couldn't. There now has to be at least one small battalion doggie running towards your platoon
    It's the end, you are surrounded. The doggie running US soldiers have taken your position, and the nearest battalion will take too long to relieve the siege on your position. What a disgraceful way to have it end.

    Some key tips during basic training, some people can get bad rashes because of the socks they issue during reception, get ready to not shower for three days straight in the beginning, keep your locker clean and separate your sleeping pts from working out pts. If you used pts for one morning but they aren't that sweaty or dirty use it again because they only allow you to clean your clothes at the end of the week. Do not sleep with your work out pts you will dirty your sheets and could get a rash. Do not get injured or try not to over exert your body. If you get injured and can't maintain physical standard with your class, you will get pushed back into another class that may be two to three weeks behind. These are tips I didn't know about but you guys should highly value when you go.
    P.S. keep a good watch on your laundry. People steal all the time especially pt clothes.

    I wish I could go back in time and join the military. I had too many brothers already serving. I believe I would have made a good soldier. I have heard so many stories from all the different branches and I think Every time that should've been me telling them of my experiences.
    A Great Big Heart Felt Thank You to everyone who puts on their uniforms and serve in the military to keep all the citizens safe and free. Thanks to the Vets also. I'm praying for all of you that serve for your safety in battle and that you will defeat our enemies. Give'em hell cause they ain't worth a speck of dust to any of us. Sincerely David Baxter.

Probably a bit different now, 23 years later, but the Army is Army same shit different day. Try to enjoy it, even the miserable days.

    It's a different approach and obviously works there. Here in Australia what works is near deathly silence and since they banned physically punching someone and instructor will calmly and sternly call you out, put their clench fist out and you have to bang your head against it until they say stop. The silence is awful but teaches you to know when to speak on exercises and only talk when necessary. The bloke shouting will be the first to be shot.
