To be honest, Drill Sergeants can be intimidating when it comes down to business, but they are some of the most chill people in the Army. Love your videos.
I think most everyone enjoys getting to see the hands-on parts of your days when you interact with the trainees or other Drill Sgts, etc (when allowed) but I'm just as happy with your videos that are just you talking about the how & why of things currently happening during BCT or even with you are doing personally!
People at work ask me why I walk so quickly. Yeah, this is why! I always tell em, you should watch me eat! Lol! We don't walk, we range walk! Walk with a purpose!
I barely had any time to work out for basic training tbh but I’m prepared mentally all I gotta tell myself is to not give up and to keep going no matter what
That camera makes it look very light even at night. I know when I went through basic it was dark at "lights out" and dark when I they rousted us out in the morning. It was so long ago, I don't even remember the times. I like seeing it from the side of the DI.
It depended where you were/the time of year. I was at BCT and AIT during the summer so it was brighter at 2100 when it was time to go to bed. Well I finished AIT in September so it was getting a tiny bit cooler in the mornings and it was getting darker a tad bit earlier in the evenings
@@Food24112 That makes sense. I started my basic in September, so at 21:00 it would have been dark in Alabama. It is always dark when they get you up no matter what time of year it is.
@@leoarias8664 well if you were me, I kinda got lucky and got to choose between 1st & 2nd because of the respective DS’s there. Run in formation to a DS. There ya go
I went to OSUT in Ft Knox , Ky from 94-97 and was stationed there as well , loved it , got out of the service and went back in 07 did processing in ft Sill Oklahoma, the AIT IN WIND SANDS NEW MEXICO , AND SANTA FE NEW MEXICO, THEN BACK AT KNOX FOR AIT , . AND I LOVED EVERY BIT OF IT WENT TO BASIC TWICE …. LOVED IT . THEN MOSUL,IRAQ FOR 15 months loved it to …. hooooaaa ..
i got out in sept. we juhh didn’t do combatives everything else was the same. except treadwell tower. it was broke so we juhh had to do the small 10 tower
When we got to AIT(Split Ops, Infantry here)(E 3-54 Ft Benning July 10th, 2020- September 25th-2020) we never had to sanitize the bay every single morning. It looks like the cycle only has 2 platoons and it's weird seeing them with camelbaks for PT instead of canteeens.
Drill Sergeants are just as human as everyone else. They hate having to deal with B.S. too. Fort Leonard Wood, 1996. Echo 3/10. SFC Williams, SSG Queja, SSG Harper-Hall.
How long did it take you to remember everything? I got DA selected, so I’m assuming that I’ll get a school date eventually. .. is there a specific book I can buy to study?
with covid making it less strict, it really just depends on what brigade you’re in. i was in delta 3-34 and even though there were some things restricted like the shark attack, they were still pretty strict and acted like we didn’t have a pandemic most of the time. but honestly basic wasn’t that boring, it sucked not getting the full experience like everyone else has but it still shaped all of us into soldiers at the very end
Do recruits get their gear (PT Uniform, running shoes, ACU and boots) and paperwork done the first few days. I'm asking because my recruiter told me to double the suggested packing list.
Tommy T fast track your promotion to E-5 by doing all of your online training required for it. Once you hit E-4 keep a good PT score and you’ll get CPL. after some time slots to go to BLC will open up. Request to go to BLC. A good pt score is crucial for going to school.
I'm going to say like everything else in the military, you apply for it. When I was in they were training drill instructors at Ft Knox, but I think they trained them in other locations as well. We saw some trainee drill instructors when I went through PLDC (Primary Leadership Development Course). These days, things might have changed but there are similarities to when I was in the Army.
Yes it is, but you will be fine. Listen to your Drill Sergeants, don’t feel bad if you get yelled at, and lastly, don’t try to bring attention to yourself.
I say if u can't teach um basic in 4 weeks there's something wrong FFL does it in 4 weeks. something about grabbing that head and holding it under water till it wants to live makes a big difference in attention spans & just how god blessed the private to achieve such a great undertaking. this ain't bible camp! its war. real life and death. real "grab the body bags" type of life. day 1 should start off at 3 am & get a good run in while the Marines are asleep get back to barracks by reveille. do pt & clean till formation and PT. then breakfast at 7, from there u learn to shoot and march and run ... this is how the army use to do it in 8 weeks time. hell i thought these generations were getting smarter, more effiecent , quicker in the brain or some shit, but they seam weak, like the set online all there lives, doing nothing for themselves or some shit... LOLOLOLOL's it's like there the god dam Vietnam protester's grand kids or some shit... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA apple don't fall far from the tree they say....
What are the requirements for basic during covid? When I went we had to pass a pt test and got smoked ALL the time. With covid I heard there is no pass or fail for the Pt test at basic with covid, is this true ?

they just yell its the quiet ones you should fear a prime example is like Gus fring he dosent say anything as walt talks but just Cuts the guy

What did they change?
@@fernandamramirez5399 no combatives, FTXs shortened. It’s pussy shit now.
i got out in sept. we juhh didn’t do combatives everything else was the same. except treadwell tower. it was broke so we juhh had to do the small 10 tower
Just graduated October 8. Boring as hell.
Our field exercises were the same, except we had to do road marches with face masks 🙄

Is that DS Ramirez on the front?! If so was in her summer cycle bravo company 4-39. lol

It s crazy from our ds pov
Basic was fun tbh, I enjoyed it a lot but it was due to my Drills, shoutout to SDS Barlow, DS Rogers, and the beast DS Nabors🤘🏻
It used to go down during them CQ briefs lol
Too bad social distancing has to happen I’d love them to record what the DFAC was like lol .. “HEELS TOGETHER!”
It's so stupid. At reception where there are a lot more people we used the DFAC, but at our companies we couldn't
Heels together make the food taste better hahaha.
"my food taste better with my heels together!"
Just graduated B 1-61 in December that’s crazy
Damn I love your videos but I still hate my drill sergeants lol
Hey, I love the videos it's great content I'll be there next Tuesday
Shipping to Fort Benning November 16th where I’ll spend 26 weeks . Cavalry Scout with airborne option
Go airborne take advantage of it now I wish I would’ve gone airborne
Even if you gotta wait for it and you get held back for the slot more money in your pockets and time in service for you witch is good
videos are great
i was at fort jackson in 1996 for basic
Will you make a video of what the first hundred yards is all about?
How long did it take you to remember everything? I got DA selected, so I’m assuming that I’ll get a school date eventually. .. is there a specific book I can buy to study?
The drill sergeant handbook. Search for it wherever.
Outstanding!
Is this 1-61 inf battalion? This looks exactly like where I was at during October
was gonna join the Army till I went to the Marine office, just curious to see how different Boot Camp is to BCT
Do you have any videos explaining prior service going through basic again?
This is gonna be me soon. Cant wait for the Hooah life
Samee I leave for basic in two weeks
Just gonna be boring with a lot of stuff restricted due to Covid, most importantly shark attack man
with covid making it less strict, it really just depends on what brigade you’re in. i was in delta 3-34 and even though there were some things restricted like the shark attack, they were still pretty strict and acted like we didn’t have a pandemic most of the time. but honestly basic wasn’t that boring, it sucked not getting the full experience like everyone else has but it still shaped all of us into soldiers at the very end

the starships aah yes remember those back in 2011
What battalion are you a DS in? I went to Fort Jackson an was apart of 1/13th Bravo Company 4th PLT Blacksheep
She doesn't say what Battalion she's in
You know whats funny? I just graduated BCT. I was at Alpha Company 1-61. And I could be wrong but I think that was 1-61 she just pulled out of 😂
Oh so you meet DS.Khan! Oh my bad DS DS. 😂
Lmaoo drill sergeant stoner is the goat. I was in the covid platoon in your cycle. 5th platoon trash pandas
I’m tryin to do this shit. But points are killing me rn
