[@davidcrawford6505]

The single thing that I recall most about basic at Ft.Sill was the smell of all that gear in the TA-50 issuing facility. I think it was primarily the plastics, like canteens, wet weather gear and such. So much in that hot building created an oder that stuck with me. Every once in a while I encounter a similar smell and I'm transported back to that first few days in basic. Typically happens in a Army surplus store or a flea market booth full of that gear.

[@gunchief0811]

Great advices: 1.) avoid creating unwanted attention. 2.) observe everything around. 3.) be a team player. 4.) Don't quit / Never give up.

Funny thing about watching this Video I am a retired Firefighter from Nyc Did 20 years, I'm a dad too 2 boys and I'm married 25 years. I went through Basic in 1987 Osut, and I still hold that time in Ft Sill so Close to my Heart. I can still remember the Barracks/old WW 2 barracks. My 2 drill Sergeants The whole time in Ft Sill has really stayed in my Memories all these years Amazing times

[@jameswyatt4749]

Christopher Sicarta I agree I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in the old WW2 barracks as well Foxtrot 1/33rd to be exact. I was there from July of 88 to September and I remember my DI’S as well Olenmacher (probably didn’t spell that right) and Bruce. I thought I was in hell on earth and they were demon spawn but let me tell you what I miss them both and I have nothing but complete respect for them and I assure you they were a huge part of they way I turned out and the man I became. I ended up doing three combat tours before I retired and these were the real deal not in the rear with the gear. I never made a lot of sense out of all the training and yelling until we came under fire for the first time but let me tell ya I got the picture REAL fast when the lead started flying. I retired out as a Lieutenant (guess I had to see how the other half lived). I am proud of becoming a Lieutenant but I figured out REAL fast being enlisted was a helluva lot easier when you consider the hours I put in during my 3 years as an officer. I have a lot more pride in my enlisted time the camaraderie was a feeling a person whom never served could never understand especially the excruciating pain and feeling of losing a fellow soldier and best friend on the battlefield. That is a loss you feel so deep that your life never recoups from. My life has been off the tracks ever since. Everyday I wake up here in my country is nothing but pain that I made it home and he didn’t and no counseling or anything the military or civilian folks have ever said or done have ever made it better. But I promise you this I wouldn’t take my time in the service back. Other than losing him the only thing that ever hurt anywhere near that was the day they made me retire. I just don’t fit in out here and if given the opportunity I would go back in today and I’d stay until they played taps.

[@liamalepta8003]

Something guys dont know. You could screw up, make a mistake, they will demote you, but if you work hard to correct your mistakes, you make you rank again, this is a very good mark on your records, they see you humbly acknowledged your fault, you worked on your self to get it right, righted your wrongs. The post commander will have up most respect for you. You will gain your ranks back and the trust of your peers. In no other job in the civilian world have I ever heard of that would be this forgiving if you screw up, they just fire you, dont give you another chance. The army will if you just do the time. I gotten in trouble, was busted from E4 to E3. But after a year of hard work, I got my E4 rank back, then about three months later, they seny me to NCO school to become Corporal,. then it wasnt even a year and i was refered to be promoted to E5. I made my mistakes and over came. The Army really appreciated that and rewarded me. Thats something that turns the general on i guess, seeing you screw up and you work to correct yourself, shows you have some guts to be a soldier. You take care of the Army, we are a clan, we will take care of you, its called comrades. You learn this about the Army, you will go places. I didnt leave the Army because I disliked it...i just felt that I had done my time serving my Americans and that they let me free to be a sovereign man among men.

[@liamalepta8003]

And just because i ETS from the Army, doesnt mean that dropped all thoughts o soldier. I didnt make that oath and creed to the Army, about to defend my fellow Americans...I made it directly to you my fellow Americans..no matter if in uniform ot out domestically.RANGERS CREED. To basically protect all of my Americans. I may seem very ego filled, boisterous, dogmatic..but if you hold a American social security card, then you are who I sworn in to protect. This is why the Army or military will never turn on you Americans. In the coming age, there will political strife, but the military is at odds with the government. The government might think the American military will be at it side..but not when its comprised of Americans. Its a little game they are playing.
