Stay strong brothers, and those who wish to join, your drills are there to break you, but to make you, don't take it personal, because once those 10 weeks are done, you'll be someone you never thought you would become.

Yes, this is all for the camera, but what these soldiers volunteer to give to their country speaks volumes. Joining was the best decision I ever made because you become a part of something bigger than yourself. You learn skills that will stay with you for these rest of your life. I use more skills today in my daily life that I learned here than what I learned in high school. Communication, teamwork, discipline, comradery, understanding, sleep deprivation, food rationing and leadership skills. I was/am an American Soldier.

I now serve part-time in the US Army Reserve in Germany, and attend university full-time in Wales, and as such have several friends who are British Army and Royal Navy Reservists or who served full-time and finished their contracts. According to them, my experience in US Army BCT was about the same as British Army Basic Training when taking into account the obvious differences between each military in terms of various procedures, drill and ceremony, and weapon systems and the like.

So for the people looking into joining the army it is pretty easy. When you get to reception it will last a week and if your not going to 09m program or fat camp ( which is to help you lose weight before joining 09M is asvab help which is a school but you still learn military discipline there which is just your generic basics. But if you're not going into one or those you will get shipped out to boot camp which is 10 weeks if you are not in a combat role such as infrantry or combat engineer and i believe there are 2 others that go to osut which is the 10 weeks plus another 6 week extention added on so basically that will be your AIT. I got no idea about osut training i went into artillery and it wasn't to bad I advise everyone to have a reason on why you want to join and just think about that it goes pretty fast and isn't to difficult. ( if you're planning on going my advice is to give everything your 100% or you will look like a shitbag that doesn't want to be there. Don't talk in formations or you will then get corrective action which again is just a couple push ups but also will make you seem like a shitbag and they will keep a close eye on you. When you go to basic your first week will be improssesing which is just paper work, sharp classes, EO classes and how everything will work there for your next 9 weeks. After that you will do your confidence course which is just climbing over walls, climbing across a rope 50 feet up to the other side which is not hard at all, climbing a tower 60 feet up ( If you're scared of heights just dont look down and breath there will be a drill sergeant up there watching you plus i seen a female who wasnt even 5 feet tall do it so everyone should be able to. Next you will do the gas chamber and learn on how to properly protect yourself against chemical warfare ( tip for this is to just pay attention and deal with a little burning feeling at the end and don't try to run out or they will just throw you on the ground and make you do it but while there holding you down. After that you will do Victory tower which is learning on how to repel down walls its only 60 feet up and you won't fall so don't be scared at all ( Like legit theres no way for you to fall off ) after that you will get to white phase which is the beginning of marksman ship now for this try to control your breathing and shoot at the end of your last breath or in the beginning it varies for different people also take your time and pull the trigger slowly and squeeze it dont just let go after your shot you should hear a click sound after you let go of the trigger. For the marksmen ship you will zero in first which is making it so the gun is allied with your aim of sight then you will qualify the next week. For qualifying you just need to hit a 23 out of 40. And the targets go up in down usually in a order so if you dont get it your first try just remember the order and you should be squared away but there will be a pre qual so you should he fine also a 300 meter shooting range even before the pre qual so you will get practice in a bit. In the end if you still don't get it if you have any infrantry drill sergeants ask them for advice and they will teach you the steps they used to help. In basic you will also have 3 ruk marches which is just 60 pounds on your back and holding your rifle its not hard tbh the first march will he 2 miles, 2nd will be 5 milies and the last which is the forge will be 12 miles. They usually just say 8 but it is 12 on the way back which the march back is the one that counts for your graduation requirements. For your feild exercises you will just learn more in depth on how to set up a patrol Base, how to shoot with a team, How to setup a firing squad, How to ambush, To defend against a ambush and some other stuff. The last feild event you will sleep outside for 3 days and most likely be in the fox hole you made which is you digging into the ground with your ETool. And you will also do Nick At Night there also . In the end it sounds scary but it truly is not. For most of the people I knew they just had homesickness or a attitude problem. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask below.

For boot camp, it's the normal boot camp, but when he gets to AIT, he will do a lot more stuff that goes in depth with their job training. I know he will go to Fort Sill for AIT they do a lot of ruck marches, so he's going to have to prepare for that. Besides that, though, I don't know much about them.
@corybrezinskey27174 ай бұрын
@girlee0303 Also, for his life in the army, that all depends on where he gets stationed and how his unit is. I'm stationed in korea, and it's probably been the best time in my life. It all depends on the person. It's like a normal 9am to 5pm job for the most part some days you'll have to stay later some days you get to leave really early. A tip I can say for your son is when he has a bad day. Just embrace the suck it sounds rude, but honestly, after he gets in, it is truly not that bad it all depends on the unit he gets and how their command is. But for me, at least joining the military was probably the best decision I made in my life. You'll be able to do things that most people can't ever do and travel all around the world.

Just graduated BCT 2 weeks ago at Ft. Leonard Wood! It was easy and tough at the same time. Everyone can pass, but it's a mental game as well as physical. Once it's over you miss it, but you'll probably get through it by counting down the days. This video is very much an ad, but your experience also completely depends on your company and location. We had a small shark attack and got smoked all the time, but our drills were very cool! We had it better than most companies. Bravo next door was significantly rougher on their trainees. They had far more people on suicide watch, allowed Fight Night, and were harsher when it came to smoke sessions. They low and high crawled at least a few times every week. So it all depends. No matter what, anyone can pass. Just arrive prepared, and be smart with how you present yourself.

I just had an overweight relative graduate from Basic at Ft. Jackson in July 2024. She said Basic was a joke. They spent too much time sleeping instead of training. The Drill Sergeants didn't care about real discipline, but were just going through the motions and checking the blocks. Notice how this video didn't show you the units marching past the family members in the stands... because they look like doo-doo. I'm sure you noticed how no one was in step as they marched up through the smoke. We are forked with this DEI Army!

going summer of 2025 hopefully. currently in college and planning to enlist & do basic next summer. I think one of my biggest struggles physically is running. I got to get better at cardio. I lift weights every day, I walk every day, but I typically do not run (I am like 30 lbs "overweight" but I feel like strong for my weight... again I think the cardio is going to kill me ha-ha. From just common sense, it seems like stressing it before you go will kill you. Theres going to be things I will be good at and bad at just like everyone else. I am using this as a way to grow physically and mentally. I have always been on and off with training. Some months I will go to the gym every day, work my ass off, then the next week I will have 20 wings from Wingstop every day. I kind of have an attitude as well. I am hoping I can get humbled. I hope my demons don't convince me to talk back. I know it is obviously not good to, but when you have spent years so angry inside constantly, I guess it's just normal to want to say something back. At the end of the day, I think a lot of people take it as the drill sgts hate you or want to yell at you... but I see it as discipline. the army dont need soft people. they dont need people going into war one day and start crying because they got their heart broken. and of course it's just being a part of their job...they wanna see you succeed is what I believe.
