Im getting my hair cut 4-5 months ahead of time.. (some time within the next few days or weeks.) That way i can clean up my scalp and also give my hair time to regrow some as when you enlist, rumor has it, even if you already have your hair cut, they cut it anyway and if they dont, they single you out soo yeah.. giving myself some breathing room. (For those curious im working on getting my GED then ill be enlisting for Army National Guard.)

[@mikethemechanic7395]

In my reception almost everyone got a low and tight before we started. The drill sgts were shocked and never have seen so many guys get ready ahead of time lol

They definitely yelled at reception. Every time we were waiting somewhere we had to have our nose in the little green book of common soldiers tasks. If you looked up or around you were given a Not so gentle reminder to keep reading. That place was where we learned our first lesson about being in the army „hurry up and wait“. We moved everywhere quickly and with purpose only to wait and wait at each station. Lol. Carefully fitted boots? A line of us stood on a Board, heels to the back with size and width markings. The supply guy was grabbing boots and tossing them at us as fast as we got our feet in the stencil. We put our feet in the boots and got about a half second to say if we thought they fit correctly before being told to move out and lace them up back in line. Lol.

Fort Benning reception is where you’ll find that at

[@TheJrj430]

Because it’s the army. Duh. Army guys will say. Ohh. Because of the filming. It’s this way.

[@shlacked2690]

Jeffrey Johnson it’s the pog basic training dumbass

[@danielh9252]

Because this is just the initial entry before basic training. They probably haven't slept in the 48 hours since they left their parent's house, and are just getting their uniform, signing paperwork, etc. In the next day or two, they'll jump into meeting their drill sergeants and off it goes. There will be plenty of screaming...and crying. lol

[@TetraSamurai]

We definitely didn’t get measured for dress uniforms in reception battalion. Only uniforms we were given were our ACU’s and PT gear

[@mariaespinoza6358]

Female drill got upset d me about clothes I had packed. I didn't pack them. Figuratively dared here to tell GRANDMA she did wrong (she didn't) but Gma was going to do what she wanted to. I wasn't going to say no. Got upset about my slip; regular length, not overly lacy (nylon/cotton). Anything for them to get on ur case for.

[@dirtydave2691]

You have to pay for your first haircut. The Army and Air Force Exchange Service makes bank on you your first few days. You are told by your recruiter do not bring any personal hygiene items so you have to buy everything...........soap, toothpaste, a comb which is useless with a shaved head. I thought my first end of month pay was my weekly pay. Nope its for the whole month there were so many deductions it was total BS. I did go on to spend 21 years in the U.S. Army but that first week at reception was a total cluster fu&&^ck.

[@ringofdreal1374]

Damn, sounds like a scam.😂😂 Thank you for your service though.🤗

[@Basskat100]

@ Miranda Paige, They are Not Soldiers Yet. They are Basic Army Trainees. Once they Graduate from BASIC Combat Training, then they are Officially U.S. Army Soldiers.

[@A._J_.]

you should show the female experience of basic training - to compare and contrast with the men.

[@Nickkkk838]

It's literally the exact same. They go through the same training, they stay in the same barracks (on a different floor from the males) and they do the same PT. There is no difference to basic for males/females, other than males have to get their hair cut every other week. That's literally the only difference.

[@A._J_.]

@@Nickkkk838 Still there should literally be a video of the female experience.

[@OnlyIMatter]

@@Nickkkk838 Women are not doing the same hard drills like the men.

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

Navy veteran and retired Army here and am wondering why they are given an ID CARD and dress blues in Basic? Unless it is sooooo easy now. Also, how does TRADOC know they will even graduate, pass background investigations, etc.? The privates were just rubber necking and slouching in chairs! Christ people…unsat! 😡

[@masongodby]

[@mofo7689]

you dont unified with a hair cut. It is to become UNIFORM (the same). This is all Army sloppiness. you never offset the many for the progress of the few. The recruiters or MEPS stewards can enter the information to await them upon arrival. this could have been done ahead of time.

Take it from me, JROTC does not teach you anything. The facing movements and drill is all. Don't take any of those habits into the Army. And yes do not say you were in JROTC, tell people you are a PV2 because of college hours.
