I was in the Navy, we loaded 400 rounds in one day in Earle NJ, that meant carrying the rounds from the stern of the ship, down three decks and then lowering them by hand into the magazine and putting them in their racks. Three days later we fired off every round we had on the ship, 600 rounds in just over 8 hours. There were 4 of us in the magazine, not only did you have to load the round, you had to load the powder charge which weighed 45-55 pounds. The powder and the round went into a lift and up to the gun. We had to fire 28 rounds per minute for 6 minutes.

there is no Russian threat. Russia is in no way a threat to us, and the only reason Russia invaded Ukraine is because NATO keeps adding new member states right along the Russian border. It would be like if Russia had an alliance against us and they got Mexico and Canada to join it. Of course we'd feel threatened.

06:50 - The PAGST helmet, originally fielded in 1983, was found to have too long of an apron on the back. It did provide excellent all-around ballistic protection, but DARPA discovered that the apron was directing *ALL* of the forward concussive force of explosions, artillery and IED up the back of the helmet, and into the brains of the wearer. It was literally acting like a scoop. Anything in front, and up to 40 degrees to the left, right or below was being focused on the top of the skull. So the helmet was redesigned and replaced by the Lightweight Marine Helmet in 2003, which is the type you see personnel wearing in the video. The LWH lacks the long apron in the back, allowing concussive forces to be deflected, without collecting them like the PAGST.

@@AA-kj4ic the companies that sell/produce the weapons are the main reason for the price. These systems have many pieces (expensive) that have to be made to withstand the use, metal and electronic. From the prongs/ports on the digital display to the precise rifling of the barrel.
@@ChrisTurner-xj9wi I think the Ukrainians and Russians have the most experience with towed artillery since WW2 or Korean War. You can't protect yourself from a HIMARS or similar weapon unless you leave quickly.
Triple 7s are no joke, in my COP in Afghanistan we had one Triple 7 team. Us Infantry dudes would run security, patrols, checkpoints, PSDs but the arty dudes never left their huts or pits. Any time, and I mean ANY time, we would take enemy fire that team would be up laying hate on the mountains just outside the wire. They would do terrain denial operations at night where they lit up the brush and vegetation on the mountainside with red phosphorous in order to scare the T-ban away and burn their cover. At night, when they fired, my cot that was pushed flush against the wall would literally slide 6 inches away from it with every shot.
On 16:44 went to AIT with that guy! Essex was a cool guy. Me and him almost beat the shit out of each other on our first week. After that we became pretty good buddies. Good times
Thank you for this video. I did my OBC (Officer Basic Course) at Ft. Sill in 1971. Class 17-71. Oregon National Guard 2nd Btn, 218th Atry. Brought back some fun memories.
Drops the round, struggles loading. DEI women soldiers who can't even operate quickly as team, no ear protection. Holy shit china is going to have a field day with the modern woke American army. Let alone US rebel militias. This country is so smoked
Don't worry. By the time that happens, they would have accumulated enough brain damage to have enough cognitive ability to be upset with the VA response.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
Brian Humphery Services was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Brian.
Loved Fort Sill as a kid in the '60s. Back then, Geronimo Elementary school had cannons behind the school. I thought that they were there to keep the kids from escaping. :) We always stopped by and visited the Army mule on the way back from church, usually with a carrot or an apple. When we lived there, the Field Artillery Museum had most (if not all) of its pieces outside, and if we promised not to break anything, the guard would let us play on and in the equipment. I'm sure that has changed. We had been scheduled to move to Italy, and dad was to be deployed to Turkey, but the Jupiter missiles had begun to be removed from Turkey, so we ended up moving to Colorado Springs instead, where dad worked at Ent AFB. Fond memories. :)
I lived in Lawton Oklahoma as a kid, right next to FT. Sill...Father was stationed there, BOOM BOOM all day long, all-day strong..hot, dusty, and loud is the norm there
Nah doing the recon, finding the firing points, laying the guns, then actually firing them was the best part. Being part of the crew & finger popping a 155 is surreal.
I would LOVE to see Business Insider come to Canada to look into the Basic Military Qualification of the Canadian Armed Forces. There really isnt much media out there of what exactly goes on at BMQ ever since the old tv show Basic Up! got cancelled. I would love for future recruits to be able to get an idea of what's precisely they have waiting for them once they get sworn in.
I graduated from Ft. Sill in 2016 and we were the first company to use the brand new barracks they built. Much nicer than the older ones (which we used during reception) although I'm not sure if those were the World War 2 era ones I just remember the showers being very antique.
The single-story wooden ones? They were still there the last time I was in, 1995 or 96. My father was there in the 60's and said they were supposed to be demolished and replaced then.
Meet some of the first female graduates when I was stationed in Fort Sill. Besides the bonuses as an incentive they were very proud of being the ground work for future females entering.
I attended the Field Artillery Officer's Basic Course in 1995 at a time when only men served in the Field Artillery. The fail rate at the schoolhouse was traditionally 10-20%. It was an academically challenging course where everyone did a few hours of homework each night after a full day in the classroom or in the field. Watched a number of classmates exit the course due to failing an exam. Went back a few years later to attend the Advanced Course.
21:19 This is what it's all about! That's awesome and admirable they are serving together! I hope my son, who is 16 now, follows my footsteps as well, so we can serve together before I retire! Best of luck to the both of them! o7
If it wasn’t designed well it could also interfere with hearing and breathing. You also need to be able to fit a gas mask under a helmet in case somebody decides to go WW1 and use something nasty like mustard, vx, sarin, etc.
I was stationed at ft sill for almost 6 years, as a fire direction specialist. a lot has changed since 1994 females as howitzer crew members, good for them. if they can handle the hard work of 13B.
Every US service member around a gun, big or small should have active hearing protection headphones for both safety and communication efficiency. Communication is everything.
I only worked on towed arty in the Army 1986-2010, seen a lot of changes during that time frame working on/firing the old M-101's, M-102, M-119 and the M-198/M-777. I guess with women 13 Bravo's there won't be anymore fire missions were you literally get caught in just your boots, Kevlar and underwear because the Infantry guys need rounds down range right now.
Sad you did mention that the Marines are also trained there as you also put film of them. I’m pretty sure some “I never met a veteran” reporter was sent there that doesn’t know the difference. 0842.
I'm missing the justification for saying that 1 in 6 soldiers being female is "lagging behind integration". My sister joined the military and quickly got promoted beyond her capability. This whole culture of pushing women into ONLY MASCULINE postitions which are typically made of exceptional men....is going to destroy our economy. Im not an extraordinary man. I am a jack of all trades, I am not suited for leadership or a job which requires charisma. I can accept that i have weaknesses. Many of the women ive known or talked to will NOT do that, to the point of nearly recieving a medical discharge. To the point of fainting in formation and breaking all of their front teeth. A lying military is a dying military.
if they think thats a lot of weight i disagree when i was 19 on up i was feeding a plaster gun pump feeding 98 lbs bags of gun plastic 1 every minute for a total of 438 bags a day which is a lot more weight per day 42924 lbs a day

13:58 When I was working at MEPS, I had a recruit shipping out who said he got a $50,000 bonus, he was so proud he was beaming, couldn't stop smiling, and I asked him how much was that after taxes and his whole face dropped like, oh sheet, I didn't even think about that. I felt so bad but I really meant it as a serious question because I never got a bonus and didn't know anybody who did, so when we talked about it, it was all rumors we had heard, like you didn't get it at once, you got bigger paychecks like for a year, but they didn't just hand you a $50,000 check.

Marine,did you have fun in the Corps ??? I hope so. LOL.
@@AA-kj4ic the companies that sell/produce the weapons are the main reason for the price. These systems have many pieces (expensive) that have to be made to withstand the use, metal and electronic. From the prongs/ports on the digital display to the precise rifling of the barrel.
@@luciferdeviluke8096 I honestly don't buy it, it's an artillery, look at the video, it's mainly mechanical parts.
Even the ones that endanger the rest with their DEI quotas?
Towed artillery are obsolete after Ukraine. Self propelled artillery are the future according to the Pentagon as they can shoot and scoot much faster.
Yep was gonna say the same thing. Finished are the days of shooting 50 rounds from a fob without counter batteries hitting you.
@@ChrisTurner-xj9wi I think the Ukrainians and Russians have the most experience with towed artillery since WW2 or Korean War. You can't protect yourself from a HIMARS or similar weapon unless you leave quickly.
The cannon pointing at a 0° 0:53 gave me War Thunder anti-Light Tabk vibes
2:04 never wash your vest with other items lol
Triple 7s are no joke, in my COP in Afghanistan we had one Triple 7 team. Us Infantry dudes would run security, patrols, checkpoints, PSDs but the arty dudes never left their huts or pits. Any time, and I mean ANY time, we would take enemy fire that team would be up laying hate on the mountains just outside the wire. They would do terrain denial operations at night where they lit up the brush and vegetation on the mountainside with red phosphorous in order to scare the T-ban away and burn their cover. At night, when they fired, my cot that was pushed flush against the wall would literally slide 6 inches away from it with every shot.
It’s so serendipitous that I’m watching this when my nephew’s graduation is next week in Fort Sill
"I really like radars."
lolll, thats why its better to let the officers speak to the media.
phenomenal
@@zxrcanadaofficers only have one purpose. To disappear when work needs to be done
Artillery is the king of battle.
On 16:44 went to AIT with that guy!
Essex was a cool guy.
Me and him almost beat the shit out of each other on our first week.
After that we became pretty good buddies.
Good times
He went to my school dude is not real
@@No-mz5xq goofball, I literally have videos of him on our graduation.
I don’t blame that dude for being a Juliet- I also became a Juliet just for that sweet bonus 😂.
Our job is boring don’t lie😭
I didn’t lie about anything our job sucks lol.
15:28 bro just wanted to be in the video 😂😂 he must of told his friends aye yo watch this 😂
Thank you for this video. I did my OBC (Officer Basic Course) at Ft. Sill in 1971. Class 17-71. Oregon National Guard 2nd Btn, 218th Atry. Brought back some fun memories.
Drops the round, struggles loading. DEI women soldiers who can't even operate quickly as team, no ear protection. Holy shit china is going to have a field day with the modern woke American army. Let alone US rebel militias. This country is so smoked
Wait until these young Soldiers hear “your disability is not service connected” from the VA
That is so disheartening and sad,yet,very true. I'm hoping and praying these young soldiers don't ever need the services of the VA. EVER.
Don't worry. By the time that happens, they would have accumulated enough brain damage to have enough cognitive ability to be upset with the VA response.
10:06 i love how they show her barely being able to carry that round 😂😂 while the dudes do it effortlessly lmaoo that's messed up
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
Digital Asset"? What is that? Does it have some intrinsic value or is it a made up ledger of imaginary ones and zeros?
That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
Brian Humphery Services was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Brian.
He is really a good investment advisor. Was privileged to attend some of his seminars.that's how I started my own crypto investment
Loved Fort Sill as a kid in the '60s. Back then, Geronimo Elementary school had cannons behind the school. I thought that they were there to keep the kids from escaping. :) We always stopped by and visited the Army mule on the way back from church, usually with a carrot or an apple. When we lived there, the Field Artillery Museum had most (if not all) of its pieces outside, and if we promised not to break anything, the guard would let us play on and in the equipment. I'm sure that has changed.
We had been scheduled to move to Italy, and dad was to be deployed to Turkey, but the Jupiter missiles had begun to be removed from Turkey, so we ended up moving to Colorado Springs instead, where dad worked at Ent AFB.
Fond memories. :)
I lived in Lawton Oklahoma as a kid, right next to FT. Sill...Father was stationed there, BOOM BOOM all day long, all-day strong..hot, dusty, and loud is the norm there
Gotta say as a 42A in an Artillery unit, watching the Howitzers do their thing is one of the best parts of being in an Artillery unit
Nah doing the recon, finding the firing points, laying the guns, then actually firing them was the best part. Being part of the crew & finger popping a 155 is surreal.
Me likes the lil' blondie sittin on the gunsight and pullin the lever.
My very first fire mission I still remember
Fire mission shell HE fuse PD deflection 320 Quadron 444
Pvt. Amisha Boozer will throw out her back in no time.
Before or after she gets knocked up?
The shells I handled were 205 pounds a piece. 8" howitzer. GO LONG. USMC 1974
this is some straight hooah hooah stuff.
I would LOVE to see Business Insider come to Canada to look into the Basic Military Qualification of the Canadian Armed Forces. There really isnt much media out there of what exactly goes on at BMQ ever since the old tv show Basic Up! got cancelled. I would love for future recruits to be able to get an idea of what's precisely they have waiting for them once they get sworn in.
I spent the summer of 1981 at Fort Sill for basic and AIT. We slept in WW2 houseing. Looks like a they have improved a little since !!
I graduated from Ft. Sill in 2016 and we were the first company to use the brand new barracks they built. Much nicer than the older ones (which we used during reception) although I'm not sure if those were the World War 2 era ones I just remember the showers being very antique.
@@Trome1200 Our shower's and shiter's where a sperate building about a city block away from our sleeping barracks.
The single-story wooden ones? They were still there the last time I was in, 1995 or 96. My father was there in the 60's and said they were supposed to be demolished and replaced then.
@@_itsallahoaxI was a Drill Sergeant at Ft Sill. The WW2 barracks were all torn down.
Her ach cover is on backwards 💀
I thank them for their service
at 2:19 did the trainee respond to the NCO as " yes boss". New Army!
New Army is women in Artillery. We didn't have them when I was a 13b in Fort Sill.
Narrator sound like "Chris Griffin" From the family Guy😂
I luv tthis...I used to be in this...but I'm 71 now. I lovd the army!
Meet some of the first female graduates when I was stationed in Fort Sill. Besides the bonuses as an incentive they were very proud of being the ground work for future females entering.
Don't enable them and normalize it, they'll go in every fields like infantry and put men at risk.
Bo diddly, Bo diddly where you been? Down in Lawton drinking Gin. Whatcha gonna do when you get back? Puke it all up on the PT track!
I was asst. Gunner on 8 inch selfpropelled howitzer in Nam it was awesome!
I attended the Field Artillery Officer's Basic Course in 1995 at a time when only men served in the Field Artillery. The fail rate at the schoolhouse was traditionally 10-20%. It was an academically challenging course where everyone did a few hours of homework each night after a full day in the classroom or in the field. Watched a number of classmates exit the course due to failing an exam. Went back a few years later to attend the Advanced Course.
Only men should STILL serve in artillery.
Trump 2024
21:19 This is what it's all about! That's awesome and admirable they are serving together! I hope my son, who is 16 now, follows my footsteps as well, so we can serve together before I retire! Best of luck to the both of them! o7
There are few old school professions that exist successfully beyond war.
Castaneda was one of my instructors at Sill! Hell yeah Fisters!
7:30 why not develop like a motorcycle full helmet to absorb the blast
@@u4yeah123 Because it'd be heavy and would get in the way.
If it wasn’t designed well it could also interfere with hearing and breathing. You also need to be able to fit a gas mask under a helmet in case somebody decides to go WW1 and use something nasty like mustard, vx, sarin, etc.
I was stationed at ft sill for almost 6 years, as a fire direction specialist. a lot has changed since 1994 females as howitzer crew members, good for them. if they can handle the hard work of 13B.
Every US service member around a gun, big or small should have active hearing protection headphones for both safety and communication efficiency. Communication is everything.
Lets be real, that chick struggled with the rounds
More cowbell and DEI info.
Nostalgia seeing my old 13J classroom lol.
15% is still pretty high considering that all combat roles were only opened in 2016
I only worked on towed arty in the Army 1986-2010, seen a lot of changes during that time frame working on/firing the old M-101's, M-102, M-119 and the M-198/M-777. I guess with women 13 Bravo's there won't be anymore fire missions were you literally get caught in just your boots, Kevlar and underwear because the Infantry guys need rounds down range right now.
I knew this one cat who always free-balled. At least he gets to say he ran fire missions with his hanging out.
Battlefield engineer. The bestest!
its lancet's Dinner& lunch😂😂
Sad you did mention that the Marines are also trained there as you also put film of them. I’m pretty sure some “I never met a veteran” reporter was sent there that doesn’t know the difference. 0842.
I'm missing the justification for saying that 1 in 6 soldiers being female is "lagging behind integration".
My sister joined the military and quickly got promoted beyond her capability.
This whole culture of pushing women into ONLY MASCULINE postitions which are typically made of exceptional men....is going to destroy our economy.
Im not an extraordinary man. I am a jack of all trades, I am not suited for leadership or a job which requires charisma.
I can accept that i have weaknesses.
Many of the women ive known or talked to will NOT do that, to the point of nearly recieving a medical discharge. To the point of fainting in formation and breaking all of their front teeth.
A lying military is a dying military.
No ear plugs when they are firing? Ouch.
They dont care it seem like, but they'll regret it later on..
It may not look like it but I guarantee they do, it's an inspectable item when on the gun line.
They all seem to wear ear plugs to me.
@@beardedlonewolf7695 maybe I need my eyes checked 😂
@@antoinepallascio3944 they ALL have ear protection.
Just noticed Boozer has her ach cover on backwards 🤣
if they think thats a lot of weight i disagree when i was 19 on up i was feeding a plaster gun pump feeding 98 lbs bags of gun plastic 1 every minute for a total of 438 bags a day which is a lot more weight per day 42924 lbs a day
Could you add Farsi & Pashto subtitles to help the Taliban learn to use their captured M-777s correctly ?
$85 Billion in Biden's surrendered weapons, but all the instruction books are in English ? Geeze!
Everyone in the video will leave the army with IQ at least 20 points lower than before joining
I spend a lot of time in and around Lawton Oklahoma and you can hear those guns from miles away
13:58
When I was working at MEPS, I had a recruit shipping out who said he got a $50,000 bonus, he was so proud he was beaming, couldn't stop smiling, and I asked him how much was that after taxes and his whole face dropped like, oh sheet, I didn't even think about that. I felt so bad but I really meant it as a serious question because I never got a bonus and didn't know anybody who did, so when we talked about it, it was all rumors we had heard, like you didn't get it at once, you got bigger paychecks like for a year, but they didn't just hand you a $50,000 check.
I've always wanted to see this! Thank you business insider!
Rear the piece,
Face the piece,
Fall in!
Did she have her ACH cover on backwards???😮
