ARMY RECEPTION 2019/2020 | Fort Sill Oklahoma | What to expect!

[@desotodigger4743]

Word of advice from a 20 year retired US Army First Sergeant...Keep any copy of paperwork you get from the Army, lots of items come with many copies, Eventually get a box of Document protectors and a 3 ring binder. Everything will carry value later in life. Having a copy of awards, orders, certificates can mean the difference between getting promoted or not. The Army can, and will lose their copy that was supposed to make it's way into your personnel file. Being able to validate info can save you promotion points. Once you leave the service, or retire, you will have a chronological record of your career. Mine ended up being 2 binders 3 inches thick. If you are a career soldier, this also helps come retirement time and useful when dealing with the VA. Unless it has changed...When you depart 1 duty station for another, you "hand-carry" your personnel file (201) and your medical records/dental records....Stop and get yourself a copy of what is in the folders. You may be surprised on what is in there. Best of Luck Soldiers.....HOOAH

Reception is where you learn to stand in line for 14 hours a day to conduct about 5 minutes of activities.

[@travis8229]

Reception is 3 times lower key than basic training, so get prepared mentally and physically while at this initial phase. More importantly make sure you have everything you need for training! Theres a lot of things youre accountable for in regards to material, and you dont want a drill breathing down your neck at initial shakedown cause youre missing an important thing. It will haunt you. I unfortunately lost my back brace for my allisonrack, and managed to hide this discrepancy until i suffered a back fracture.

[@kylepatrick253]

Who asked

[@raqueltorres4160]

Everything sounds pretty accurate, the only thing I would recommend is for males to make haircut their #1 priority right after getting their EZPay, why? ... 1)Barber shop is open from Monday-Friday from 8am - 11am, Lunch Chow formation starts at 11am and come back around 12:30 (you will not find the barber shop open unless the group for the day was 200+ males) 2) You can not get your photo ID without a haircut, so if you don’t get it by 11:00 you’re out of luck and will have to wait until the next day and you will have Drill Sergeants on you all day for having hair on your hair 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@wendyruiz7729]

Hi my son is shipping out in exactly two months. You mentioned males getting a hair cut when are you suggesting they get a haircut when shipping out for the first time ? Would it be a good idea to get a haircut right before they shipping out? Thanks

[@jasjas-rm9kc]

Time flies. Back in 1973-1975 I worked at IRP at Ft. Sill. Initial Reception Point. Back then, Ft. Sill didn't have basic training. Trainees went there for AIT, after basic training. They came in buses ever week, from all the basic training posts. Fort Leonard Wood, Fort Knox, Fort Ord, etc. Anyway, they'd show up on weekends, and we would do all the in-processing in three hours or so. Then, they'd be off to their units. I must have talked to thousands of trainees. Somewhere along the line, it was decided that Ft. Sill would do basic training, and so they changed the whole thing around.

Ahhhh I remember reception at ft sill. October 15, 2019 Echo Battery 1-40th FA Can confirm the no one wanting to shut up part especially at Vessy as well as people camping out in the latrines to avoid smoke sessions in the main area. The reception DS literally were so done with my group that they felt bad for our BCT DS’s😂. Apart from being boring af and the few smokings hear and there the one thing I enjoyed from it especially once it got closer to pick up/day 0 was the amount of sleep I’d get. Every time we came back from V-Hall or chow I’d hop right up on my top bunk and pass out till our next formation.

How common is it for ppl to cheat in basic? I’ve heard so much bs about cheating in the military. I think it depends on the persons character not their job. My bf is in basic rn and all these ppl say cheating is big

[@RichterHouse]

Also forgot to say I trust my bf. I just want to tell my friends it’s not a big thing but I haven’t gone through basic

[@wavyplayboi777]

not really common in basic, theres not much time to flirt with anyone or you’ll get smoked

[@dakotagavin4307]

They watch for “fratinizing” so you can’t really cheat

[@grayman849]

Basic not so much, your △⃒⃘lways separated from opposite gender whenever you have any bit of free time which is extremely minimal and your never allowed to just free roam around the base or you get smoked hardcore by the drill sgt. AIT (After basic training) is a different story, trust is a big thing in military relationships And not all of them make it through. hope it works out.

When you speak about time, most civilians do not know military time. You said that you get off work at 1900 hrs. when speaking to civilians..you have to say it both as 7pm and 19 hundred hours for them to understand. Another thing; as most of you new KZbinrs making new videos for new recruits are using a lot military acronyms. Do you really think a civilians know what you are talking about. Explain all acronyms at all time if you want them to understand. All of you are producing some good information for new recruits. I did not get this information when I joined back in 1967.
