He’s right about the people with skills getting remembered by the DS’s. Had a buddy who went through basic that had another guy in his platoon that was a Golden Glove Boxing Champion. DS’s caught wind of it, and he was forever known as Private Ali.

You always should excel at PT. Deep down DIs love it when people are fit. It means they were preparing for years before arrival. Commitment.

That's why they love us from DEP our petty officers and chief do good good work in motivating you for pt.

During shakedown the girl next to me was crying because she hadn't brought enough underwear and I couldn't keep a straight face. Immediately, I had 3 drill sgts in my face, shouting at me what I found so funny and what came out was, "Her lack of panty planning, Drill Sgt!" very loudly. It earned our platoon our first smoke session (for laughing) and put me on my drill sgts' radar. Two days later I was forced to down a canteen full of water and puked it right back up on my drill sgt's boots. His response was, "Out-doggone-standing! She even pukes Army Green!" The story (and the quote) made the rounds and by nightfall everyone knew my name. Then I choked in the chow hall and had to be given the Heimlich, which put me on the Company Commander and First Sgt's radar (along with the guy they gave a medal to for saving my life).

I've used this strategy in other aspects of life and it's true. Unless you're an all-star, it's all about.. "Private Stealth Mode reporting, sir!" "........... who the eff are you??"

[@doom4067]

For most people, it's not too difficult to not get noticed. There will be at least one person that thinks he's special and can't not make himself the center of attention. In my platoon we had about five, with one clear winner. They didn't know who I was until graduation.

[@askshadowboltmoon1476]

Best way to not to get noticed is with a distraction, having a person make that distraction makes your life way easier... Unless you're in the Marines then you're just fucked either way.

[@mchajen511]

Last tip is don't talk about the drill sergeant on youtube

[@ahmedfalahy9337]

One time we were marching under the hot sun (11 AM) and suddenly one of the privates collapsed. Instinctively, I broke formation and helped up the private. The DS yelled at us (me and the fainted private) for breaking formation. I replied *Drill Seargent, my battlebuddy is down and the Private has to to help his battlebuddy* One moment of silence later....we got smoked and had to do push-ups on the blacktar road under the hot sun...Can you imagine how a road can heat up near midday? Helping out a fallen comrade and what do I get? Smoked and blisters on my hands.

[@jayddow618]

Ahmed Falahy more then likely for health and safety reasons

[@renigbluf5038]

Ahmed Falahy you f***** up because you were supposed to ask permission to fall out to help your battle buddy but you did not

[@ahmedfalahy9337]

Renig Bluf Yeah, you're right. Military isn't like civil life where you can help out your friend. Doesn't matter though. With that action I got respected by my fellows in the unit and my battlebuddy.

[@renigbluf5038]

Ahmed Falahy oh yeah definitely I will I would have definitely respected it too I'm just telling you why the drill sergeant probably got in your ass that's all I'm saying

[@renigbluf5038]

[@t-gmailaccount6796]

I was stuck as a holdover after basic. We got like a week off or something, idk now. But anyways, I went back and got sent to go help one of my drill sergeants and he treated me like garbage until he realized I wasn’t a red phaser. He was literally one of my platoon drills. You can’t go more unnoticed than that! Lmao

I had the goal of not being noticed at all. My goal was to have a DS ask me who I was at graduation. Didn't work out that way.

[@SCballer50]

knoxedout knoxville howd it work out lol?

[@knoxedoutknoxville5254]

A DS (from another platoon)didn't like the way I was moving and pushed me against another PVT than proceeded to pick me up and slam me against him, over and over. I didn't say anything until that same DS a couple weeks later decided to kick me off of a bus after my DS told me to get on it. After getting off my DS (Hurricane Johnson) went crazy on me about getting off the bus. No win situation. The other DS came out and started yelling at me and to my surprise my DS asked me WTF was going on. At that time I told him. My DS put me back on the bus, a bunch of us were picked for a 4th of July function. I will always remember my DS asking me "did he put his fucking hands on you". When I got back the whole platoon had been questioned by the C.O. All of this had happened after a soldier in C Co killed himself. Two DS' had to apologize to me in front of the C.O.. I never heard about it again. DS Hurricane Johnson was one of the best NCO's I ever had. B Co 2/54 Ft. Benning, Ga.

I aced my first written test in Navy boot camp, and was assigned to be the “Recruit Education Petty Officer”. Wasn’t that bad, and was able to help others study for their exams. My philosophy throughout my career was to always perform to the best of my ability. Served 24 years, E1 to E7 then O1E to O4.

[@77f10h7]

I came upon your videos by accident but am enjoying myself watching them because they bring back memories I experienced in Basic Training at Ft. Jackson from Sept. 1988 -Dec. 1988. I spent about three weeks in Fitness CO before moving on to actual Basic Training so that is why my stay there was so long. I served from 1988-1996 and am a veteran of Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I could go on and on but I won't. If I had one piece of advice...don't volunteer to be a Road Guard. Someone gave me that advice on my way to MEPS in KC and then when I finally got to Basic the Drill Sgt handed me an orange Road Guard vest and I didn't want to take it but I had no choice and from that moment on I ran every fricking where whether I was in PT uniform or marching with a full rucksack...not fun. lol

Cool video, but anyone watching this, dont be afraid too put yourself put there. I wanted too go unnoticed in basic. I was doing the right things, and they started too notice me, made me a squad leader, then PG and I ended up doing so well that I got Soldier leader of the cycle, I got too lead the battalion in the soldiers creed, I got wavered too PV2, and got too introduce the Tradoc Comander, Battalion commander, sergeant major, and post commander to the people who showed up at my graduation. Those are accomplishments I wouldn't trade for the world. Aim high, do your best, be the standard! Alpha Co. 260th Fort Jackson

As a canadian I went against myself to the St-Jean Military College, the equivalent of West Point, in 1965 and I can admit that I was the perfect example of what not to pass under the radar during my 5 months stay there. I din't any sports before coming there and as you can imagine I was the very last ot ALL THE COLLEGE in PT test. I did my 1 mile run in 11:30 by crawling to the finish line. Maybe I had some hidden talents because 13 years later I did a sub 3 hrs marathon. Asking stupid questions was my cup of tea. It took less than 2 hrs to be known from the commanding officer to the janitor. Following my total rock and roll stay the canadian departement of defense changed their ROTP admission creterias to make sure that no other guys like me will be accepted in this place

Isaac Pino it’s possible you have to ask your recruiter, but slots is also a factor on ship dates for both BCT and AIT. If there are no earlier slots then you most likely wont be shipping earlier. Definitely inquire though. Good luck. Hooah!

You could always ask but if you asked me I would say no. BCT has to Line up with AIT so there may not be any available earlier plus you already signed the contract for when you leave

Hello Matt, first of all, thank you for your work, you are doing a fantastic job at giving me a lot of motivation and information! I also had an extra question : in many videos, you mention the training you conducted prior your Basic Training. From what I understood, you were doing 200 push-ups, 200 pull-ups, 2 miles in the morning, 2 miles at the end of the day. Were you doing more exercices ? And how were you doing the push-ups/pull-ups ? In one large session with breaks or like your running, half in the morning, half at the end of the day? Thanks a lot and keep going, you're a example for me!

I got their new number. but, i had waisted my precious time finding out threw a stranger that they moved. the other women in the barracks were older then me. they took it up with the drill Sargent who took it to the co. and the co called me in his office. we talked for a couple of minutes. and he let me go back to the phone booth. i got my call. and after that noone ever questioned why I early graduated and joined fresh out of high school. I paid back my military time and looking forward to my federal retirement in a few years.

Hey Matt, could you make a video explaining the opposite of this video? Say I am super good at what I do, what steps do I take to become noticed so I can become squad or platoon leader/sergeant.
