make a decision
know the info before going to training
Mario Leon S.M.T.M.K.
Let your drill sergeant find out that you were helping. Don't go tell him looking for brownie points. Those don't exist
Real MVP!
I did these same things in boot camp and it really did impress them.
All of your videos are helpful they alow me to get ahead of the game before i ship.
If you do try just to impress your Sgt., you will regret it. Just keep up!
Hey Matt I really like your videos. I'm from a military family and appreciate everything you do in getting all ready to serve this great country.
Here's what impressed my DS:
Toward the end of BCT, we had a CSM inspection of our barracks. The CSM was not pleased overall (they seldom are), but decided my bunk and wall locker were THE standard. He actually lined everyone up and had them come through to see my wall locker so they might gain some act right (that's a military term).
It wasn't my wall locker that impressed my DS though, what impressed him was that we were almost done with BCT, and he didn't know who the hell I was.
The only person to ever impress a Drill Sergeant was Forest Gump.
Rich B And Steve Rogers before he got ripped.
Gump! Why did you assemble your weapon so quickly?
AndrewRodden BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TO DRILL SGT!!

PRIVATE PYLE WHY ARE YOU BREATHING
WHAT IS THIS?!
The only way to impress them is to lift a school bus
That’ll only impress them for a day. They’ll then want you to lift two school buses the next day.
Animus Cumminham. One of mine said the only thing any of us could do to impress him was to crap on the ceiling.....
Sounds easy enough *no sarcasm at all*
Animus Cumminham only if they can do it too
Jeff Long Sr i just fuckin died laughing
your first mistake is Believing that your Drill Sergeant or Drill Instructor is even capable of being impressed...
Depends on their level of sadism..lol.
Cassidy Phan they are impressed trust me they just don't show it cause it would come off as favouritism to the other recruits. They keep it at level base for everyone so no one gets special treatment. Just do your best and at the end of training they will be glade to share how impressed they are.
This guy shouldn't be on here giving instructional videos. Basic is not about impressing anyone...its about rebuilding the mindset of what folks think they know and becoming adaptable to any situation. This guy is trying to send a distorted message for followers on social media. Real professionals are silent and stay in their lane.
@@cabledude79 theres no problem in giving help in these videos
They help at least
You still have to do follow things anyways
Finally someone who has some common sense
-"I didn't see you in your camouflage training today, soldier"
-"Thank you Drill Sergeant"
Lol
Very nice
Don't thank me thank your recruiter
😂😂😂😂
Do not say thank you to a drill sgt. Just say yes drill srnt
Drill Sergeant: WHY ARE YOU BREATHING PRIVATE!!
OMG XD Just read that with a heavy voice♥
Sir I need to breath to live Sir.
WELL DO IT QUITER PRIVATE.
Yes Sir.
I STILL HEAR YOU PRIVATE.
Sorry Sir I just did the course I'm winded.
YOU ARE A SAD EXAMPLE TO THE MILITARY GET OUT OF MY FACE MOVE.

There is no "impressing". There is only pissing off to a lesser degree
I like that 👍
Kill Kill Kill Kill is, all they wanted from us. M C Boot Camp, 1968. LMFAO.
yes very true
A day without getting smoked by your superior is a good day.
Yeah but you know... had I known that in 1988 it would have been a good thing.
Just say "hey wassup foo" and u will graduate automatically u won't even have to go through boot camp
Chiludo thanks this helped alot
Our platoon guide failed to address our Platoon Drill Sergeant as "Drill Sergeant Jones" once, mocking him for his stupidity, really the dumbest man with responsibility any of us had ever seen, by calling him "Dr Jones". In a previous cycle a trainee had shot the good doctor on the range.
A really good life hack😂
Laughed for a good 5 minutes
Well be fore you know it you’ll have four drills around you smoking u at the same time
The 1.3k dislikes are drill Sargent's

Omg at meps they told us to yell "enroute" and not "coming" and half the people didnt listen at the serviceman and I about died
I was called and I quote "Channing Tatum's downsyndrome brother" my nickname for half of basic was "Jeff" and I was ordered to say the quote "my name is jeff." Funniest thing of my entire existence.
Really?
Flowey the Flower yeah back in 2015 though but I thought it was funny myself so I never got upset with it
Did you try not to laugh when they said it?
I got nicknamed ears. Pretty innocent. Until the command started calling me that.
Omg... Lol That's not that bad actually... And its good that you weren't upset at it
"GUUUUUUMP!!! WHAT'S YOUR SURE PURPOSE IN THIS ARMY!!!"
"To do whatever you tell me drill sergeant!"
"GOD DAMMIT GUMP!... YOU'RE A GOD DAMN GENIUS, THAT'S THE MOST OUTSTANDING ANSWER I HAVE EVER HEARD YOU MUST HAVE A GOD DAMN OF AN I.Q. OF 160!!. YOU'LL MAKE ONE FINE SOLDIER PRIVATE GUMP!!!"
Lanet klm how tf did you track me down asking me that in a army man's video lmao 😂 not tryin to being rude just seems a bit off reply to my comment in this video, also huh never knew that sounds interesting I'll check it out later.
You guys are arguing about manga on an army video? I dont see the comments that lead to this
soldaten SS I'm surprised as you are don't even know how a comment like that ended up in this type of video
Hahaha😂😂
And Pvt. Gump surely did make an outstanding soldier, awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, and saved Lt. Dan's life...of course Lt. Dan gave him that tip on that there fruit company stock than made him a bit of cash :-)

Jamarro Mercer learn it before basic it’s easy i memorized it on the bus ride to school. it’s not that hard 👍🏼
One of the soldiers in my battalion impressed his DS by challenging them in unarmed combatives...DS was so impressed he helped the Private take a nap.
Seriously? Looks like martial arts are about to pay off
joseluis arevalo he means the private got the old left right goodnight
^^ That's a good joke, like he'd fight you fair. You're in the military now. xD
Nice profile pic
I said I would fight my overseer (russian mob merc sorry 😐) for a $300 bonus. I knocked him down once. Oops
9/10 people here aren't actually doing Basic Training.
Or have already done it like me
I’m getting shipped out December 3rd and although I don’t think drill sergeants are impressionable this might change my mind
Andrew stephen good luck, I just graduated December 6th
This is education Incase I qualify
Don't be a pussy ! Don't quit ANYTHING the D.S. tells you to do, untill he tells you to stop or you reach muscle failure(keep trying). And you will be ok. After you graduate, you will respect YOURSELF more, when you respect yourself, you will start to respect others.
At the end of the day no matter what you do you’re still going to get smoked haha
chrismc410 Fuckin truth!
Michael Lawson yes definitely true especially when you will run alot
chrismc410 ... quit it man yer giving me flashbacks .
@lakers fan sorry I like women don't get it confused whoa there buddy lmao askin for my photos
Brian James lol James that's true the DI will find some reason to smoke the platoon
[Forrest has finished assembling his rifle]
Forrest Gump : DONE, DRILL SERGEANT!
Drill Sergeant : GUUUUUUMP! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump?
Forrest Gump : [confused] You told me to, Drill Sergeant?
Drill Sergeant : Jesus H. Christ!
[looks at stopwatch]
Drill Sergeant : This is a new company record! If it wouldn't be such a waste of a damn-fine enlisted man I'd recommend you for OCS! You are gonna be a general someday, Gump, now disassemble your weapon and continue!
:D yes
Hell yeah
Do not call the ds “sir”.
Mark your first initial and last name on your boots. DS comes in and throws shoes everywhere you can find yours again.
Except in the Marine Corps.
Gary Bones what do you mean not in the Marine Corps.
2BitUser yea...
2BitUser Gary Bones means it wouldn’t matter if you marked your boots, the DIs will just eat them
Dont Call me Sir !! SORRY MA'AM!!
#1 thing you DO NOT let your battle buddy fail! If your battle buddy fails you fail!
And if you fail, the entire platoon fails. Remember, you're all one unit.
Be like forrest gump, "private what is your sole purpose" Gump: "To do whatever you tell me to drill sargent!"
cha thor goddamnit gump you're a goddamn genius!
cha thor lmao
When in doubt gump it out
cha thor Im only 16 but I just may do that if I decide to join or get drafted
"why do you assemble the gun so goddamn quickly ?"
"you tell me to drill Sergeant."
I heard “strange creatures called drill sergeants” and immediately shared it with my DS aunt
dont say "coming drill sergeant". say "moving drill sergeant"
My bad, you are correct. If I didn't say that correctly I'm sorry
"Theres no coming in my barreks, privates".
Yep, had a guy I went to bct with say that... DS responded with "well fucking stop and get over here." We proceeded to laugh like idiots and get our asses smoked.
"You better not be coming"
Hahaha fuck these replies have me dead
Drill sergeant get voice crack
Everyone laugh:
I'm about end their day
First time I was face to face with my USMC Drill Instructor, I yelled "Yes sir" so loud my veins popped out and I think I spit on him! He looked me up and down after that, then straight in the eye and moved on. I think that was a great start!
Steve Wander how did he end up treating you the rest of boot camp?
SSR2396 Word
@Name- Chan He just said he was in the US Marine Corps. You call the Drill INSTRUCTOR there 'sir'.
If you call the *Army DS* sir, you're in trouble. If they're a Marine DI, it's correct. (You also don't want to confuse the *Army* Drill Sergeant and the *Marine Corps* Drill Instructor confused, either).

Nothing will impress a United States Marine drill instructor. Nothing..........
Scamper Flee!
I've had buddies who did time on the drill field. They get impressed all the time by great recruits, they just don't tell them or let it show.
chrismc410 not if you actually go about doing it my friend.
Actually did... He made it so that it is almost impossible to mark your canteen. Just one mess up and you have to start all over. Guess what? I did it and rather than IT me for holding the canteens wrong, he complimented my handiwork and asked if I wanted to be Squad Leader :p
*arrives at boot camp with Gen Mattis making introduction*
When the Drill Sergeant tells you to do something yell “YOU GOT IT DUDE” at the top of your lungs and trust me, he will be very impressed
cardigansarecool he‘ll be impressed by the fact at how courageous or stupid you are because of the fact that you called him “dude”
Laugh so hard right now lol
💀💀😂
cardigansarecool I may or may not be killed in action in Afghanistan, but that certainly going to kill me
or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing
"why did you put that weapon together so fast private gump? ! " "because you told me to ... drill sergeant !

@DeadKing66 Jesus is not a god. I don't care what you believe. He's a real person, and by the things he went through. He is the son of a higher being.

@@DaRkVulcan Jesus is fully man and fully God, as it is written in hebrews chapter 1
Just to be clear, you WILL be yelled at. How much or how little depends on you. There's some great advice in this video to consider.
I hear you, I'm trying to get as LITTLE as possible.
I was already used to that. Basic training was like summer camp. What I had put myself through prior to getting there made it easy. I actually gained 15 lbs in basic.
@@michaeledlin9995 can you tell me what you put yourself thru?
@@lookingtojesus2537 run 3 miles a day ride a bike 20 + miles and work on heavy equipment.
It's not only on you, though. It's going to be on the rest of the recruits as well. The whole "You win as a team you lose as a team" mentality that a lot of drill instructors have going on for themselves.
1. Volunteer for leadership positions
2. Don’t involve yourself in drama
3. Do what is asked of you without hesitation
4. Do really well on PT tests
5. Be respectful of their rank from the start
Those are just some tips from my experience back when I went. Don’t freak out about things. I was super worried before basic training but there are times I’m weirdly nostalgic for it and I had a lot of good times. Do the right thing and find ways to keep your head up.
Wrong. The correct answer is nothing.
Wrong. Answer is join JROTC/ROTC to heavy a easy start
@@tomvillellajr.7314Exactly
week six of basic we were on the range and one of my drill sergeants was talking to one of my buddies beside me and she looks at me and goes 'are you in my platoon?' and i say 'yes drill sergeant' she goes 'i have never seen you before' and i said 'maybe because i'm in the back of the formation drill sergeant' and she goes 'or maybe you do the right thing' and walks away lmao. that was my best experience with a ds at basic
Haha yeah that sounds about right
The CIA i always looking for people like you
My recruiter always told me: Remember, you're doing fine as long as the Company Commander (Navy) doesn't know your name... The first day of bootcamp we were standing in line for our "haircuts" and one of my CC's called my name and asked me where I'm from. I told him and he responded that he was from a town about 30 miles from my little town. The guys next to me mumbled something about me being a lucky s.o.b., but I told them I'm screwed, now he knows my name!

Hold tight, I’m mailing you cookies now.
Before I left for Marine Corps Boot Camp my recruiter told me the three easy steps to graduation. He said to do what you are told, when you are told, and do it to the best of your ability. Simple formula.
When I went in the Marines, I didn't have plan. They already had one for me. And it wasn't what I was planning on. lol
The other thing is to never be afraid to seek clarification. Drill sergeants won't admit it, but they admire three things above all else: initiative, humility and teamwork. Seeking clarification accomplishes all three.
Dylan Wight what is the proper way to ask for clarification? Just curious
Generally, if you're in a flight (sorry, squadron...), you come to attention and raise your _left_ hand. There's no standard as far as I'm aware on how to do this, but generally you keep your upper arm out at shoulder height in line with your rank (line of other squadron members, not your insignia) with your lower arm kept vertical.
You can always submit a query in minute form if it isn't an urgent query. Minutes show commitment and discipline.
Of course, the other way to seek clarification -- and this only applies while you're being chewed out is to come to attention (assuming you aren't already, and you probably are) and shout "Show us how, drill sergeant!". It demonstrates initiative which drill sergeants love to see. It's a 50/50 whether or not you'll just get chewed out more for interrupting or your drill sergeant will demonstrate what they are trying to instruct. Either way, it's a point in your favour because it emphasizes that you want to learn and you aren't assuming anything.
Also keep in mind he is talking USAF, as I was, Dad was Army, GF Marines - so it varies.
Best things to learn:
1. Don’t
2. Ever
3. Mouth
4. Off
5. EVER!
When I finished basic I fractured my foot and was a holdover until the cast came off. When my class left, the drill sergeant's guard came down. They were cool people, one of them took me for a ride in his car to the px, and they got together and planned who was going to be the "good" drill sergeant and who was going to be the psycho hard-ass for the next class. Everyone gets yelled at, everyone gets smoked, no exception. It's part of the training, to see if you can perform under stress.
Exactly.
Oh this is funny!!
Recruiter: You think your smart for the army huh? What 2+2?

Don't yell "Coming drill sergeant!"
The correct way is "Moving drill sergeant!"

What if I say “IN ROUTE DRILL SERGEANT”
@@AlexLifts777 They would probably find it funny and make you push for their amusement.
Lmao
Advice I gave to my neice and nephew IS just stay in the middle its a hell of a lot less stressfull than being outstanding OR inferior. You can shine once you get in the real military thats what counts
smokinhalf I concur
Definitely
smokinhalf I agree with you whole heartedly.
Agree wholeheartedly..I learned that the hard way in 1992!!!
Sounds like the pussy way though,can't handle some yelling, then join the girlscouts and sell cookies princess.
Weird creatures 😂
Ismael Sosa how about the word aggressive? Drill sergeant aren’t weird!! They’re aggressive and mean
challenging, motivated, proud*
Best way to describe them
Ismael Sosa nice name
Brave frontier gaming channel You ain't lying
Best way, just improve. Mistakes are fine, just dont make the same mistake twice
To sum it up:
Yell
Move with a purpose
Take charge in your platoon
Remember your chain of command
Making a decision good or bad is better than not making one at all
Know the soldiers Creed, your general orders, and the army song
taking charge is only needed if you want to stand out "blanket partys work both ways even though they are frowned upon now"
making a decision is really only needed if your put in charge...
rest of the steps are expected and wont really do much for you as some DI's will smoke you no matter what.. specially in red phase...
what is a 'blanket party'?
blanket parties are what happens after lights out and your fellow trainees decide to "correct" you or your way of thinking..in short..think of it as a sock and soap routine... this can happen for 2 reasons.. 1..you fucked up and got everyone smoked.. or 2.. they see you as a kiss ass.."aka. taking charge or trying to intentionally one up the rest of the platoon"
and while the DI's officially frown upon these happening.. they sometimes hint that extra-curricular correction is required...only rule.. dont get caught giving a party...other wise its SMOKIN TIME... or CAN YOU MAKE IT RAIN INSIDE time....
I can do this
Be in shape....that can never be stressed enough. Many people have never ruck marched in their lives before. Go to a surplus store, or someplace else, find a pack....and it doesn't have to be a military type ruck (your muscles won't know the difference), put some weight in it and walk (after you pay for it LOL). If you have hills in your area, go there. Start with 20 lbs (or what ever feels right) and work up, in weight, distance and speed and vary it. Don't do the same thing all the time. Some days go heavier, slower and longer, other days use the same weight and go shorter and faster, etc.... You could get a weight vest from Walmart that is adjustable in weight as well. The ruck marching is a great over-all body conditioner.
Lifting weights is great, but also do calisthenics because they are different from lifting. Push-ups, sit-ups etc.....you can find workouts for your respective service here on RUclips, there are lots of them. A bench press, push-up workout is great. Don't forget to stretch, you can find videos on that as well. If you are a little overweight.....lose the weight before you get there. Being in shape makes EVERYTHING easier and is one less thing you need to worry about. If you're in high school, and you're not an athlete, go talk to your school's cross country coach and ask them to suggest a workout if you're not a runner.
As Shootemup89 said, know things like your General Orders....and actually KNOW them, don't "sort of" know them. If your recruiter hasn't given them to you ASK for them or look them up. And this might sound funny, but KNOW your LEFT, from your RIGHT.....don't laugh, you'll see people who don't.
Take the bare minimum with you. On your way there, and when you get there, watch what you say, you never know who's listening. "Better to be silent and thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt"
Take joining seriously, whether you're in for 3 years or end up staying for 30 years. Many people have joined with the intention of doing 4 years and getting out and ended up loving it and doing +20 years. So don't do anything that might sabotage yourself or a possible career later down the road. Don't do just the bare minimum, doing more can pay off later.
Never EVER forget....YOU volunteered for this, act like you want to be there, if you don't think you can do that, don't join......
TideFan Yankee Wow those are some awesome words of encouragement and advice, I am actually heading to basic soon and I will definitely keep this in mind.
Seikyo. Don't just think about it....DO IT. Your military career, no matter how long it lasts is YOURS, you write the story, it can be a good one or not, most of that is up to you. If you haven't started to workout, again....."just do it" now.....if you haven't started yet, you're going to get sore at boot camp anyway so you might as well begin. Sorry, I'm not trying to preach at you, I've just "been there, done that". Good advice is only good if you take it. Best of luck to you.
Outstanding bro very well explained
One more thing. Don't listen to the negative people and you will see/hear a LOT of them. You'll hear how they got "screwed over" etc......the one's that actually have been messed with, as in.....didn't get the school they wanted, or the bonus etc....had something directly to do with why that didn't happen. Yes, in large organizations like the U.S. military, regardless of service sometimes people fall through the cracks....yes, it happens, I won't say it doesn't. But the majority of the people bitching and complaining about how something went wrong for them had something to do with how things ended up. I would stay away from them because if they have a bad reputation you don't want to be seen hanging around them. But if you do hear them bitching (and you will) ask them what did they do? Fail a PT test? Pop on a drug screening? Fail a written test? Get gigged on an inspection? Fell asleep on watch? Forgot something important somewhere? Lost a piece of gear? Mouthed off to someone they shouldn't have? Made an inappropriate comment to someone? Do something inappropriate? Were always last? Didn't show enough motivation? General shitty attitude? Trust me, you'll see it for yourself.
I guarantee.....hell, I would bet body parts (one's I'm REALLY fond of) that there will be one of these things that happened. The one's bitching and complaining just won't want to tell you about that. OR....they will go with the "but this other guy/gal did the exact same thing and nothing happened to them". That is a WEAK excuse, and that's all it is...an excuse. What they won't tell you is, that "other guy/gal" is also an excellent PT'er, or aces tests or is never last etc..... Generally, the military doesn't punish just for the sake of punishment. And it's rare that something is taken that is guaranteed to someone if they didn't do something to have it taken away. If the military did that, they would have Congressmen/woman crawling all over them expecting the service to explain why they (the military) broke it's word on a contract.
Thanks for the kind words, but I'm not looking for ata-boy's from anyone. The reason I'm posting this is again, I've been there, done that and have seen what works and more importantly, what doesn't. Attitude is EVERYTHING. Not just in the military, but in life, you get out, what you put in. If you know what you need to do (know your weaknesses) work on them. If you know you need to do something or have something ahead of you, like an inspection...don't wait for the last minute to get things done. There is generally plenty you can do prior to get it done or make things easier. DO IT.......and life in the military will be much, MUCH easier for you. You do NOT want to give any "higher ups" a reason to give you their full and undivided attention. Well, unless you did an outstanding job on something. Otherwise, you want to give them the feeling that you don't need a babysitter, that you are an adult who can be trusted, and doesn't need anyone to hold their hand. Get in shape, good shape, it's easier to maintain that than "attain" it. KNOW what you're supposed to know....if you are weak in an area, don't avoid it, jump in and learn it. After that a lot is about being on time, in the uniform (worn correctly) you're supposed to be in, then doing the things you're supposed to and acting the way you're expected to. None of this is hard, if AGAIN, you go in with the right attitude. Best of luck.

Funny story about motivation. My drill sergeant actually _did_ berate us for "lacking" motivation.
Having been given responsibility for my flight due to completing seven years with AAFC prior to enlisting, I decided to risk replying "Show us how, drill sergeant!". His response was as clear as it was quiet. He simply said "keep your head up and your eyes forward. Your motivation lies ahead of you at all time, so stay focused on it and you will find it."
Remember, your drill sergeant isn't just there to break you down and build you up again, they're also there to _assess_ you. If you show initiative, if you seek clarification when you need it, if you demonstrate that you are willing to learn and listen, then you'll earn their respect, if just a tiny amount.
Drill sergeants are there to turn you into an effective _team_ more than anything else. You can help them do their job by proving you're trying to do the same thing. If you can do this, then you'll have an easier time in basic from them. Making their job easier will make your job easier.
Don't be "that guy" who is highspeed in basic.
Want to impress a DS? Turn into robot, wipe your harddrive. Do as the DS commands. He might let you take a selfie with him at the end of the cycle graduation.
Do it for the selfie!!
Imagine he yelling at you in the picture
Good points. I was an Army DS at Knox in the mid-2000's. Be smart (don't act smart), don't show off, be a servant...don't need to be served, ruck up, lean forward and meet the objective. Kill.

@@joshgreen7992 they say you cant get in if you have autism, AHDH, OCD, etc. Funnyily enough I have all three of those.
Showing up to boot camp in good shape, being able to jog 5 miles, do 50 pushups, 50 situps and a solid 25 pullups is a good start. Also paying attention to detail and doing exactly what they say. Also making sure your rack and gear is in good order is very important.
Sounding off was the number one for my drill sergeants
EDIT: I wrote this before your list started and it’s funny how number one for you is sounding off as well
They'll impressed if you are superman for a minute. But then your superhuman abilities aren't good enough after that minute, and lifting 1 Kiloton weights is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

There were sometimes I hated it and sometimes I enjoyed it, but it has opened doors for me through out my life that I would have never been able to enter because of my service. Pick an MOS that you can use on the "outside". Good Luck
Yeah man like he said, PICK AN MOS THAT WILL HELP YOU ON THE OUTSIDE!!! And get some if not all your education in the military. Don’t come out with no education is the best tip I can give. Goodluck brother I just got through basic💪🏻

wow i watched the whole thing and im not even from america... what am i doing with my life
No you Or be a bullet catcher! We are always looking for fine, young immigrants to kick down our doors for us 👍
No you . Become a traitor? No offense but wars are mostly based on greed.
Survival? Not rly .
No you .dude you just destroyd yourself with this comment . define IQ to me without google.
No you .I guess iq matters when every single soldire is trained to follow simple rules while someone coordinates every move right? Did u have art in military? Maybe music? playing backwards flute in the showers? I dont want to play the who has the biggest dick game but if you insist .. ok. I have acceptable manners.what do u want? boost your ego or talk about redemption? Btw America has many enemies but not nations more just the political rulers who lead the workers to death.. its modern slavery. I hate borders, we are alle the same. If not give me an example.
And don't toot your own horn! It will make you look like a brown noser. Keep a low profile, but do whatever you can to help out the team. Your DS will notice when you are doing the right thing. He may not say it to your face, but you'll earn his respect. Great idea to memorize the Soldiers Creed, Army Song, Warrior Ethos etc... The Drill Sergeants have their own creeds they live by: The Drill Sergeant's Creed and the NCO Creed.
The Drill Sergeants Creed:
I am a Drill Sergeant
I will assist each individual in their efforts to become a highly motivated, well disciplined, physically and mentally fit soldier, capable of defeating any enemy on today’s modern battlefield.
I will instill pride in all I train. Pride in self, in the Army, and in Country.
I will insist that each soldier meets and maintains the Army standards of military bearing and courtesy, consistent with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army.
I will lead by example, never requiring a soldier to attempt any task I would not do myself.
But first, last, and always, I am an American Soldier. Sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
I am a Drill Sergeant.
Way too much to memorize. Sorry.

Nice vid and informative. I went to basic in 1985. OSUT Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. We got smoked all the time, grass drills, sand pit, log drill, etc. Yelling and screaming, cussing and cursing with those creative terms of the Drill Sergeants! No matter what, they smoked us because we were all 'that guy'. I look back and laugh now because it was a great experience.
Went to Ft. Sill, OK for Artillery training as a cannon crewman. Fine training, looking into what I saw as a Marine. Rah 🇺🇸

Judging from this vid things have changed a lot over the years. Back in the day i don't think it was possible to impress a drill sergeant. i look back at it and smile, but i would never want to go through it again :)
John I was Echo Battery, 2nd Cannon Training Battalion. They changed to actual unit regimental designations the following year if I'm correct. And your right, we couldn't impress them no matter what!:)

Hmmm, one thing I learned by the end of Basic. You don't want to stand out as much as as ppl tell you to. I got to sing the "Candy Man" song every where we went for all of Basic. I was told that my extra motivation would be put to good use.
lol that's definitely a possibility. We had a guy where everytime a DS pointed at him he yelled out some weird animal sound! hahahahaa It was amazing
I had to sing all stanzas of the Marine Corps hymn

One thing I would add to this is to do more work than you were assigned. One night at Lost In The Woods I was on firewatch when the DS on duty burst out of the CQ office demanding to know which of us could count higher. As it happened, I was assigned to sit down in the hall and count the words in an essay that another private had written as a punishment, to make sure he wrote the minimum. DS told me I could have the next watch take over when the hour was up. But I mentioned nothing to the next watch and kept counting, since I wasn't sleepy. A while later he came out again and saw I was still there. He looked at the next watch and said "You see that? That's dedication."
They notice every little thing. Oh, and I'd recommend saying "moving, drill sergeant!" instead of "coming". Because then theyre going to tell you they don't want to hear about your sex life.
depends on the DI... they may just use you for that type of work later becuase you volunteered...i was told the ONLY volunteering you want to do is when you sign up.. after that you dont want the attention because then they will look at you harder for mess ups.....

When I went through basic, during bayonet assault course, my heart dropped when I broke the stock of my weapon on a training dummy. I thought I was in big trouble. To my surprise and relief, my drill instructors were very pleased with this.
Jorgee MCoth do you know why?
Jorgee MCoth also:your still taught how to use bayonets?
Jorgee MCoth I would have been impressed too! Hardcore Pri! 🤘🏽
super junkie - My apologies for the late reply, checking my e-mail seems to be more of chore now-a-days. I suppose I could take a stab (heh heh, pun intended) at the reasons, but I'd never really be sure what they were thinking. Also, I went through basic way back in 1987, so I'm not sure if that course is still around or not. Man, time flies by when you're not looking.
Heh heh, thanks, Samoan Dude. I was actually scared of being in trouble at the time though. The most fun, however, was on the shooting range. A few of us "volunteered" to fire off the excess ammo rounds and I packed a tracer-bullet every other spot in my mags. Shooting range was on the day of Halloween, but because of the tracers, it looked more like the fourth of July when dusk arrived. I remember my barrel even turned red and my drill instructor knocked on my helmet and yelled, "Let it cool down, Private!"
Just watch Full Metal Jacket until you can recite it in your sleep. Most of it still applies even if you're not joining the marines.
id say about 99% still applies...just make sure chain of command is up to date

Don't make the mistake of calling your weapon a "gun". Drill Sergeants hate that.
steviea427
Maybe because it makes it sound like a killing weapon & might make soldiers have moral thoughts about killing..
many training units still use M16 as theres just so damned many of them made.... but yes M4 is getting phased in....
