- Here's my reaction to Army basic training in 2022. I was actually surprised by how this video makes it look. Kinda thought they made it look a little easier than I imagined.

" That boy joined for that free dental, I see you playa " I felt bad for laughing so hard at that one
I was editing the video and felt bad for saying it. Lol
Stoopppp...... llooollll...
What means u see you playa? Sorry I'm Puerto Rican and I don't get it some sarcastic jokes sometimes lollll I'm.... dying ....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️my bad🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
I came straight to the comments after I heard that. Lost it😂😂
@@rossiesalcedo3096Cuando dicen "playa" es modo calle de decir "player" o sea "jugador." Se usa mucho esa palabra para llamarle a alguien que juega un sistema, sea con mujeres o un trabajo como este del ejercito.
12:06… Hey, he may be a big guy. But honestly, all the power to him. He’s willing to serve his country and do what not many others would do. Though I don’t know him, I’m proud of him! Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
He will easily slim down before he graduates OSUT.
Im literally training doing 260 reps weighted squats a week and working my ass off thinking the selection process would be harder. But these guys are let in. I literally did a mock acft test and got a 570.
22 weeks = Army seems to merge their basic training with tech school/schoolhouse. As a recruiter explained it to my daughter, it seems like you go straight from basic training into your MOS training I think
No, that’s just for OSUT (One Stop Unit Training). Only Infantry and a few other MOS’s have it. Basically it’s doing basic training and AIT (Advanced Individual Training) (basically job training) all at the same location, with the same unit, and with the same drill sergeants. It’s split between 9 weeks of basic training, and then 13 weeks of AIT training. “Tech School” is what the Air Force calls their Job training btw. But again, OSUT is only unique to infantry and a few other MOS’s like Combat Engineer and Military Police. Most other Jobs in the Army will require a trainee to do the 9 week basic training at one base like Fort Jackson, Fort Sill, or Fort Leonard Wood etc and then fly to a completely different base in another state for AIT training, With OSUT you just don’t go no where at all. 😂
Shout out to all my AF people. I grew up in San Antonio, so I used to see airmen walking around downtown after they graduated. With their little spaghetti noodle arms 😅
Man I'm about to leave tomorrow for BMT. I'm excited and nervous about it. I had to lose 20 lbs before being able to leave but it was worth it losing that weight
You will be fine brother. Just do as your told as quick as you can and it should be smooth sailing. The only warning i could give you brother is toxic leadership is a bitch to deal with. Let me know when you join the brotherhood man! I did my 4 years and got out if I knew you in person I would happily buy you a beer.
Any updates?
@@bunnyman6321 well it's been 3 months so hes likely either about to graduate or he went on to his AIT phase
@@justinbowen1183 Kool
Right on man! I’m in the process of losing 30 lbs before going to MEPS
5:40 Bruh! I hadn’t heard “box nasty” to describe food in 20 years. 😂 When I went through AFBMT I had brass knuckles on me during amnesty. The MTIs had fun chewing me out about exactly how illegal they were.😂
I almost join the Army until my buddy in the ANG talk me out of it and told me either Air Force or go home🤣 I’m shipping out oct 4th with 2A534🎉
Ayeee. Shout out to your friend. 💪🏽. Lol
I finished basic training back in October I completed my first year in the Air-force last month in august. Yes they still do the “ Peanut butter shot “
Oh nooooo. Lol. I can feel it now.
The peanut butter shot didn't even hurt me. I got lucky, I guess.
@@SourStrawberrys nice!
Started watching your channel about a week ago and don’t know how you don’t have more subs 😂
Love these videos! Keep the uploads coming
I’m trying. I do appreciate the support. 🤙🏽
I guess I’m glad they changed a bit in 04” I remember staying in red phase til the graduation day and I loved it 😂
When I was a DS at Ft. Jackson, a enlisted had a joint in his bag.
😳😳
Great vid Jody!😅
Thanks man. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I went in April 5th and we definitely still got that shot 😂 it was in the hip though
Going to BMT tomorrow! Thank you truly for the goated vids. Very informative and helpful
I also leave to BMT tomorrow too for the AF 😁 going to hotel today. My AFSC is 4j032
Thank you and good luck to both of y’all. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@CinnamonLynn Nice, I'm going in as 3n036. Good luck, let's both make it through!
we got a box nasty at the reception center place. ours had like actual food in it tho. like a sandwich and whatnot. that tray theyre getting looked rough tbh xD
Army BCT is 10 weeks long shit was hard in the beginning because I was still adjusting but after it was super easy
Hey jody not sure if you remember me but I got out of basic and currently in my tech here. Its crazy to think that I only used to watch all your vids and now I'm actually a member of USAF
I always find it crazy as well. I’m glad I could help you through the process, and a BIG congrats on making it through basic. These updates are the best. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
You crack me up man your commentary is so fucking funny I subbed brotha
I appreciate the love man. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Ya get so use to those cold mres. During hurricane Florence I went down to the fire station and they had boxes stacked up. I grabbed one of those bad boys real quick. My parents saw me eating like cold raviolis or cold cold tacos from a spoon looking at me like I am nuts. I never had the chance to try out the heating packet so had to figure that thing out. I’ll take an mre over getting ravaged in the chow hall 90% of the time. That was always when they were at the worst because you’re comfortable.
Army bt is usually 10 weeks. The unit they were covering was doing osut so about 10 more weeks of training after bt.
I appreciate that. I was totally confused. As I was editing I gathered those guys were infantrymen and I assumed their training just rolled right into basic training.
Thank you 🥴
I’m thinking bout going in as a nurse I just graduated with an associate.
i got the penicillin shot when i went to basic in 2002, the ti had us doing facing movements the following morning , imagine the pain everytime we turn right or left
I was Benning in 1984, Basic has change so much......11B4life
If you're MOS is infantry and armor, you go to Ft. Benning for OSUT, ONE STATION UNIT TRAINING, it combines basic training and MOS training....22 weeks.
And if you got option 4 or get selected for an open jump school slot, its an added 3 weeks there.
No 🧢 the AF turned me away so I went back to the Green Been Army Caddy Machine 🥲 I wished the AF took my black ahh 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂. Lol. You got me weak. It’s all good though man, Army’s not a bad gig.
@@Jodywithawhy it’s not but I did want they Air Cyber now. I’m stuck wit these Box Nastiest 🥹
Honestly if the AF denies my waiver (its because of single use psychedelic experimentation (I told them myself despite there not being any record (I didn't want to lie and get caught))) then I'll try the army next. I hope the AF don't since I just want to be in and out tbh lol. I'm trying to go for cyber sys ops or something close to that. But if they say no then I guess it is what it is. All I know is that the army is more accepting if the AF denies it.
Aye man. Keep us updated. I’d like to know if that waiver gets approved and I’m sure everyone else will too. Good luck. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy lmao its a horrible gig 😭😂
In the army the over weight people are sent to a special united for two weeks, where they run the fat off
2 things, yea when I went through army basic my good friend got arrested for having LSD and acid, and yes that penicillin shot or the peanut butter shot was horrible lol
They gave us a totm when we got to bmt for the Space Force/ Air Force
Fort Benning 11 Bravo school ( infantry school) is very different than other basic training schools they are extra nice lol. Honor Hill.
What? Food? A snack from the Rip? Unbelievable. USMC is by far the hardest still snd always will be
Yessirrr we still gotta get that peanut butter shot at BMT 🥜
Yo that penicillin shot had me limping when I was marching during Reception. During that same day since someone got the Entire Reception cycle in trouble we were supposed to right the soldiers creed 25 times and the warriors ethos 25 times. I stood up till 2:25 to finish it. When I lied down on my bed I was in so much pain. Later that morning I woke up at 0400. Good lord was I miserable in reception.
😂😂😂. I felt that. Lol
I actually got my haircut by that guy back in 2012. He’s a trooper for being there that long. I got the peanut butter shot. Shit sucked 🤣 if I recall correctly, 24% body fat is the limit for being taped.
Thanks for all of this man. Good stuff. 🤙🏽
What's the peanut butter shot?
@@bunnyman6321 penicillin basically. It’s called the pb shot because when you get it it feels like they’re injecting you with peanut butter because the solution is thick. After that you have to rub your cheek or rock back and forth on it when sitting for the rest of the day
26% body fat *
This video is OUST, which is basic and AIT (MOS school) combined. Normal basic is 10 weeks. They also no longer do the “Shark Attack” it’s now the “first 100 yards”
I was hella confused when I first watched it. Thanks for the info. 🤙🏽
I like OCPs honestly they feel good
I like the comfortability of them. That’s undeniable, but they do cause more confusion.
“That’s a big boy”😂
I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. Lol
We didn’t get a box nasty in the AF. We had a big cardboard box with a turkey sub and a capri
That is the definition of a box nasty!
Can you make a video about members with prior service joining to Air Force reserve and claiming VA? Please 🙏 thanks in advance
If you’re a traditional reservists or traditional guardsmen, you can collect whatever disability percentage you were granted. Whenever on active orders though, you are not permitted to collect your disability. It will be paused until you are no longer on active orders.
Went through Basic in 2012 at Fort Jackson. I remember that snack kit. All I ate was the granola bars. 🤮
Went through Army BCT at Leonard Wood 3 years ago, they still did the shot back then. Also BCT is 10 weeks, infantry has what is called One Station Unit Training where you do Basic and "Tech School" at the same time with the same group all the way through and it's typically used for infantry and combat roles as well as military police. It's rough but it's not that bad. I wouldn't call it chill but it's definitely not what people think it is as long as you come in with a good mindset. Also, yes, the food is awful 😂
Thanks for that Ashton. 🤙🏽
You did Infantry OSUT at Leonardwood for 10 weeks?
22 weeks is wild holy shit
I learned this was the infantrymen. Their basic is 22 weeks.
22 weeks but 3 for jump school. So its 25 for some
I agree except for that weird veggie cracker you get sometimes......MRE 26😅
I was in the Army infantry during the early Vietnam period (1964-1967), so that makes me a dinosaur. At that time, we did 8 weeks of basic and 8 weeks of advanced infantry training (AIT). From the looks of this video, and from what I've heard from younger generations of vets, Army basic has lightened up quite a bit. At the same time, modern soldiers are far better trained and more well-rounded than we were. Army basic back in the day was a lot cruder and was much closer to what the Marine Corps still provides. Some of this may have to do with the entry of women to the combat arms. Then again, the Army then was filled with draftees, and the infantry was filled with an even rougher bunch of cannon fodder. It should also be recalled that one was treated more roughly because you had to get in shape fairly fast for a pretty dirty war (not that Iraq and Afghanistan were less of a trial). My hats off to all of you who serve.
lol i almost joined the Army Reserve before i joined the Air Force. then the Army turned me away so i almost joined the Marines which they also turned me away so i stayed with my decision to join the Air Force. i almost joined the Hawaiian Air National Guard before i joined the Air Force Reserve! joinin the Air Force was one of the most greatest decisions i’ve ever made in my whole life! 😊
I'm so glad you got in. I have yet to meet an Airman that didn't like it when they were in. I'm so looking forward to joining.
@@flutelover1913 thank you!!! oh ok wow! nice! haha ok! awesome!! good luck!!
That’s great to hear. And everyone always says the Air Force is the hardest branch to get into. Good on your recruiter taking the time to get you in. 🤙🏽
Reserve is so much better. You're not trapped to only one location (sure, you can transfer, but GL with that)
@@Jodywithawhy yes sir! oh yea!! thank you!!! my recruiter really put a ton of work for me to get into the Air Force Reserve and all that hard work we both did eventually paid off at the end! the Air Force isn’t really hard to get in you just have to really do research and give your best at everything and have that confidence to join and finish basic military training and that’s what i have!! 👍🏽
Do you think you can do a short video on each branch and its mission / purpose?
I’m actually creating that as we speak. Should release tomorrow. 🤙🏽
Army BCT was physically easy for me but can't say much cause I got ELS for rifle qual
So... The army has more than one basic training location. They are as follows.... Ft Leonard Wood in Missouri, fort Benning in Georgia, fort sill in Oklahoma, and ft Jackson
I stopped at a barber and told her to zero me so I showed up bald. Some guy showed up with dreads he had grown for like 3 years a drill sgt pulled him in front of everyone to goof on him saying guess who’s getting shaved bald today. If ya got just a regular hair cut don’t worry about it but that’s as bad as meeting the “love of your life” and began dating 2 weeks before you ship out. She’s gonna have your best friend or your brother or Jody to be there to support her during this extremely difficult time in her life lol. You got a girlfriend private? Yes drill sgt. no you don’t Jody has her bent over the dining room table right now private.
We don’t necessarily continue our combative. We can take classes if your active. Or if your reserves like me you just goto a local gym lol 😂 the combative in the Army isn’t gonna help u much it’s just to by time until your buddies arrive to help that’s the ideal.
That’s what’s up. Thanks for that info. 🤙🏽
They still give the peanut butter shot and yes half my flight couldn’t walk right after it 😂
Lol. That shot takes people out.
Air force still gives penecillin shots just graduated bmt a month ago
the shot in the butt though?
Big boy goin lose all that weight by the end Army Basic training.
I got a box nasty the sandwich and juice box where frozen!!
Was that in Air Force basic or Army?
That reminds me of highschool. Where they take the stuff directly out the freezer and hand it out... Never thawed or anything. Just a solid inside of a container... It's lazy as hell
AirForce
Oh wow. That’s unacceptable.
How are they supposed to stay in shape with this kind of "food"?
sgt kelly lord passed in 2022
And the guy cutting hair cut my hair as well
Airforce trainees get a MRE on the first night, you're not allowed to eat the gum or any other kind of candy thats in there,oh yea and a bottle of water.
22 weeks only for infantry because they don't have to go through AIT. For those who going to AIT it's 10 weeks boot camp
🤣 lol what is yall high and weigh standard! I had an applicant that was overweight by 10lb and he said the army recruiter said the army will take me and I was like uh... don't think so! I guess it's true!!
It was definitely true. 😂😂😂.
22 vs. 7.5 !!!
I know. I thought the same thing. That’s crazy.
Can you take the penicillin shot before hand so you dont have to be limping in bmt for air force?
They still give the peanut shot
Jody’s videos made me wanna join. If you have any connections with an Airforce Recruiter in the DMV please drop their contact in the chat. Thanks
Try Sgt Ronald McCanna.

No protein in that crappy boxed 💀
If only you saw the Marines box nasty
Lol. I can only imagine.
People envy you when you don't have to get the penicillin shot because you're allergic to it. Lol
Hey Jody, I was wondering what your job in the Air force is and how you like it
My first job was Electrical and Environmental systems specialist (2A6X6). I did that for the first 6 years basically fixing plane’s electrical problems. I liked but wanted to get an indoor job.
I switched to Geospatial Analyst (1N1X1A) and did that for about 3 years. I basically looked at images and videos all day and analyzed them. I’m a people person so I changed careers again.
Got into recruiting and did that in Cedar Rapids, IA for about 3 years. Loved it so much I became a recruiting instructor and now I teach new recruiters how to do their job.
@@Jodywithawhy I love that for you, I’m trying to make my list right now. I’m waiting on medical so i can go to MEPS. I’ve been watching your channel for the past 2 months daily and you’ve been a great help. I eventually want to become a recruiter
It’s definitely possible. I said the same thing you said when I first joined. Here I am loving it, so if you already have an itch for it, it might be your calling. Just got to wait awhile until you’re eligible to apply. As of now, they’re allowing SrA to apply but that could change at any moment. I hope everything works out for you. Good luck. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Thank you Jody, I decided i’m going in for the 6 so let’s see how it plays out
@@Jodywithawhy Do you still work in Iowa? How is it like there?
So basically is it if you have asthma pass the age of 13 you can’t join military at all? I don’t need to use my asthma inhaler and I heard they do asthma test if you pass you can qualify for a waiver but every recruiter I talk to just gives up on me once they find out I have asthma. Do you know anyone that serves with asthma? I’m very well in shape I just want to join so bad
If you currently have asthma you won’t be allowed to join any branch. But if you’ve had a history which no longer affects you, you might have a chance. This video discusses the medical waiver process. ruclips.net/video/ynKjsxegEPE/видео.html
I know a lot people with asthma but they ain’t say none to Meps
He said 22 week infantry men. Maybe that is just for people in infantry.
Yea. I figured it out while editing the video this was specifically for the infantrymen.
What do they do with prescription meds?
I had a dude in a unit beside me selling coke
He was on demon time. Lol
Air Force enlistment age is now 40? I thought it was 39
You have to be in basic training before your 40th bday. So technically 39 but up until 40.
I thought the airforce age limit was 39?
Army basic training is only 8 weeks, the infantry training afterwards is 22 weeks i believe
Army’s basic training is 9 weeks, Red Phase, White Phase, and then Blue Phase are all 3 weeks each in BMT, For infantry they have OSUT(One Stop Unit Training) so they stay an extra 13 weeks for their AIT (job training). So in all it’s 22 weeks, combining the 9 week basic training with the 13 week AIT training.
@@mchistorian1079 I was trying to keep the answer simplistic but thank you for your specific answer 👍
At 12:06, Fat Albert joins the Army. CLASSIC.
He more man than you'll ever be Chump
How long to basic training for the Air Force
7.5 weeks
they keep cell phones? wtf man
Do you have to have the vaccines? Even if you had them as a child and no boosters are needed?
You will need to present that information at MEPS, then present another copy during Reception. They will do the research. There are some shots that are non-negotiable. What tends to happen is, some recruits have never been vaccinated in life, so they will have to add more shots to the list. This will create a delay in you being sent downrange to basic training. Some shots are military grade and only given to members.
Don’t go in with what you think is a regulation haircut….a friend did ant the barber really nicked his head up anyway. It was the 1980s though….
Hey Jody, I want to join the air force but I have been waiting on my permanent resident card for 7 months, I have my approval letter and 3 year work permit which expires in 2025, is it possible I could go through all the meps, asfab and requirements while I wait on my permanent resident card to arrive, and also can I get a waiver to join the air force with my working permit, while I wait for my permanent resident card.?
Frozen sandwich in 2011
I thought the Marines would be the second biggest, then air force, then space force as the smallest.
it’s cause marines is the hardest to qualify basic training wise
@@restupmoe Marines are like the Army. They take anyone. As you can see in his army BMT video, many of the new recruits are fat.
@@SourStrawberrys yea weight wise but it’s not that many marines cause there basic training is so tough and i don’t think it’s that many fat people in marines or if there any at all😂 cause how fit and touch you have to be
@@SourStrawberrys and it’s so easy to get in the army because of there asvab
@@restupmoe You can literally watch this guy's videos of him watching the Marines boot camp. Many of them were fat. He literally pointed it out everytime he saw one. So NO, not "weight" wise (as in muscle), but fat wise (as in excess fat). Also if is not just easy to get into army because of ASVAB as you can get in the Air force with lower ASVAB as well. It is easy because they have more spots and they are trying to fill them with any warm body. Even army officer commission positions are much easier to get than other branches.
2:39 are you in the army NO !
Lol. All the time too.
I thought air force max age was 39
You have to be in basic before your 40th birthday.
That box of nasty was bust tho.
Hell naw. 😂😂
This is the PG version of Army basic. Behind the scenes are extreme F words and expletives
Oh I bet. Lol
You don't have yourtube premium? I dont blame you lmao
Lol. Nope. I’m cheap. 😂😂
The fall of Rome began the same way.🤣🤣🤣
In fairness, that guy was just as big. Practice what you preach.
Mr. WithaWhy, how are you a RUclips personality/influencer and you don't have RUclips premium??? Lol jk
😂😂😂😂😂. Yooooooo…..you know what. Lol
Why dafuq u bringing dabs
That's not Army Basic Training that INFRANTRY Basic Training.
I don't think any basic training is easy.
I have to say I found this video funny-each branch have a mission and purpose. Yet as a Marine(retired) these boot camps have a purpose. But being that I live outside an air force base those fat people are still in uniform and I can't believe they walk around outside with no covers(headgear) cammies and their just as fat-where are the standards? They are even drinking alcohol in uniform out in town, there at the malls. Oh Well
Don’t they drug test all the time in the military?
🤘 Ｐ𝐫Ｏ𝕞Ｏ𝓢ｍ
Box nasty ..... :) Nope.
My mind is not made up army or airforce?? Sigh which one🥹
Depends on what you want and what you want to do. From what I've heard the air force have a higher quality of life, but you need to list down 10 jobs (5 if you do the ambassador program IIRC). They also have higher standards than the army. I'm personally gonna try and enlist in the air force for a cyber job.
Akeema I just made a video which kinda hits on the differences between the branches. It might help. ruclips.net/video/PnPjhPDH7Mk/видео.html
Go Air Force
The army definitely isn't for everyone
