This video brings back memories. I remember lying there on the grass in January, freezing my ass off, wondering what in the hell I got myself into. By the end of PT, the sun was rising, and the clouds lit up in the most beautiful pink color I've ever seen. Seeing that made my first week of basic a little more bearable.

My first time ever doing PT at Fort Jackson, I was worried. I wanted to quit. I wanted to get home as soon as I fucking could. But, at the end, we had to do this stretch where we were allowed to lay our heads down. And as I looked up, I saw the most beautiful sky I had ever seen. It made me wanna stay a little longer. I did that every day, and because of it, I graduated.

Im pretty sure thats the single leg over, it happened at the end of PRT. I remember doing it in Fort Benning, as PT was ending we did this stretch and saw the beautiful morning sky, it was a peaceful moment because no one was talking. Then you’d hear a drill sergeant yelling because someone closed their eyes😂 “This stretch doesn’t work with your eyes closed!”

Army PT for me was almost too easy, other than run day. However, it was a whole new world when I got to AIT. I remember hearing that AIT was like vacation compared to basic but was the complete opposite for me. We ran so much more and the physical training was much more extensive. Then all the schooling afterwards. Recently I have really been reminiscing basic training, and want to go back. It’s such a love hate relationship.

I started basic training at Ft Jackson in July of ‘85…. Man, have things changed. I’m guessing policies and tactics has changed also. These instructors are pretty nice, calm, and soft spoken… That didn’t happen until the last two weeks when I was in. I remember us covering for our drill sergeants that would show up late or drunk!! We would still be outside and going through pt without him or until he showed up. First lesson learned is that if one gets in trouble, we all pay the penalty. That made working together much easier.

There's a part in there were he places both hands on the top of the bunk and leans back a little but immediately corrects himself. He was about to instinctively flip the whole bunk and make her do it all over again. Insider did alot for all the branches and the comments are say the same. That it seems the DIs are holding back and their only guess is it's for the cameras

Indeed, the last two weeks officers started to see you as being worthy of the unapologetic attention to detail they drilled into you. One of the most challenging, rewarding, gratifying and all-around best experiences that I've personally endured and embraced. The Drill Sargents at Fort Jackson weren't as pleasant as they appear to be here. But I get it. I recall two of my most backbreaking Drill Sargents, a short white woman from Mississippi and a bulky buffed Blackman from Michigan. Those two despised me as if I owned them money. As chance would have it, I saw them right before I jumped onto the vehicle that "moved us out and onto our assigned posts". They approached, embraced me and whispered "You made it through." Wherever those two Drill Sargents are bounteous respect and thankyou for the thirteen or fourteen weeks of life lessons while holding me accountable under the command of Capt George Suarez at Fort Jackson.

Long story short we ended shooting the shit and look back as he was my DS and I was his private. One of the coolest DS's I had the honor of serving under. By the way, he used to yell in my face more than he yelled at some others. P.S. I remember him telling me, I read your file and knew you were going to make it through.

Most fail in the physicals, medical checkups, weight limits, etc. When all is said and done you’d be surprised how many people ACTUALLY make it all the way to graduation. The US military is indeed large (1.2 million+ personnel) but that number is accumulated over DECADES. That’s not including low retention & enlistment rates. At the current rate the military will gradually get smaller unless another world conflict breaks out and the standards are lowered even MORE then they are now. TLDR: 99.995% of the US population is unfit for military service.

I don't yell nearly as much as these guys, but I do talk ALL day (6/7 hours of talk time out of an 8 hour workday) as part of my job and have for six days a week over nearly a decade. After all this time I've developed the perfect Drill Sergeant voice, (as in physically, I have the same pseudo-rasp as the guys in this video) and I LOVE using it every chance I get. It always make people jump and I find that very funny. Former service members whip their heads around so fast every time.

Ah, Fall of '86. Good ol' Fort Jackson basic training. We were allowed one pair of running shoes; I never really understood the purpose for them since we were not allowed to use them. We were in combat boots and fatigues for everything. 3-mile morning run? Boots and well pressed fatigues on. Had to look sharp for the morning run. PT? Boots properly tied and fatigues well pressed. These drill sergeants are nice. Army made sure we got the drill sergeants who could curse loud, in cadence, and in our face. Several trainees did not make it through basic training, and one ended up in a psychiatric hospital. One trainee got into a fight 1 on 1 against a drill sergeant and got his butt whooped fast. I did feel bad for several trainees, they tried their best, but the drill sergeants could see weakness and would attack faster than a Cheetah chasing its meal and they wouldn't let go. I always gave the drill sergeants credit though, they always had the same get-it-done attitude on, regardless of the weather and/or personal issues and they were always up before any of the trainees were up. Drill sergeants loosened up the last 2 weeks of training and ensured everyone left was mentally healthy and had support from family members (via telephone/mail).

Some things have surely changed since I was here in 1980. I came to Ft Jackson in August and it was hot, hot, hot!!! Jogging suits and sneakers really??? We did PT in our green fatigues and white T-shirts and combat boots in red clay dirt which stained our T-shirts so was always having to buy more because once you wore them once in the trash they went!! Always had to have new shirts on everyday!!! I think Bivwack was the hardest for me, 5 mile march with full pack in the heat 🔥🔥but everything these DIs did and are doing now even though you think it's crazy or stupid has a purpose and could save your life guys so please pay attention and my thoughts are with you!! Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Be Safe......

I was at Jackson in 2003. 30 years old. I was "mom" to the younger Privates. Man this brings back memories. I'd not be able to do most of these today like the pull ups etc. I need my own personal ds to be at my side to do any of this today lol. I went from insane great Shape to Potato status. Still weigh the same as I did then but my endurance and strength is so gone. I remember being smoked with the platoon by "Raise the Roof" and some arm move, we'd hold rhe arms out to our sides and raise them above our heads and clap. Over and over. That and Raise the Roof were fun. At first. The burn sucked after a while. Hydration Formation and Chow Formation. Remember that also. Red flashlight lights at night. The only time we had kind of personal freedom.
