Infantry Graduation - Fort Benning, GA 1/20/23

[@Oldag75]

I can't express how grateful I am to these young folks for stepping up to protect the United States of America.

[@IndigenousDubz]

I remember the cold frigid morning getting us all in formation behind the field, we were so happy to be done with OSUT. I remember my feet hurting so bad from the 12 mile ruck march a few days earlier. i absolutely want to re-enlist after being a veteran for a few years. I miss the life of a soldier.

[@kennash7583]

Me as well brother

[@rakkahooah2187]

Lighting the torch after the 12 mile ruck was awesome. Our dinner and breakfast the following morning had t- bones and lobster . One of my favorite memories. D- Co. 1/150 “Sand Hill”

I was just listening to the oath of office add the general who was making a statement left out one important phrase when he said the defend this country against all enemies I did not hear the phrase foreign or domestic..... Was it taken out when I was in the army in the 70s the phrase was protect against all enemies foreign or domestic

They have the national defense ribbon?

That is where my dad went for basic training, then he went to 3rd Army under Gen. Patton as a sniper ❤❤😊😊. Go USA

[@BigDan-c7r]

My dad got the bronze star, I got it now with some German guns and German money where he went in a bank in Berlin

[@almc-wi5vo]

If I'm not mistaken, that is on Harmony Church grounds.

[@SabotKE]

It’s right by the national infantry museum just outside the gate.

[@kennash7583]

The church was taken down years ago sadly

What happened to “if the man in front of you is taller move to the front”? lol

[@taliskadzejs3642]

Were there any female recruits graduating that day?

[@davidcraft4636]

Didn’t look like it. They don’t tend to last long during 22-24 week OSUT from what I’m seeing recently.

[@taliskadzejs3642]

@@davidcraft4636 that's too bad

[@davidcraft4636]

@@taliskadzejs3642 That's what OSUT is for. To weed out those who don't belong. No shame in it. Support rolls make the Infantry Soldiers life a lot easier.

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

I don’t care what the cancel culture says… It will ALWAYS be… FORT BENNING!!! 🪖🇺🇸

[@dw7094]

What's with the mixed uniforms?

[@davidcraft4636]

Army Blue Service Uniform is still optional for wear. It will go back to being the dress blue uniform in 2027, Everyone else has been issued the Pinks and Greens(AGSU).

[@kenbadoian2476]

get everyone in the same uniform, looks like a lash up.

[@agtkilo03]

They are transitioning from new asu to the new agsu some people haven't gotten the new ones yet

[@moosepasshippie]

If the army would pay for it, they would get the AGSU. A new AGSU cost around $700-$1K. That is a lot of money for an E-4 that is getting out in a year or two.

[@classicalhollywoodfilm8378]

I like the new ww2 style agsu uniforms.

[@theLoneWolfSpeaks]

Sloppy. Soldiers aren’t properly aligned, conducted at close intervals dress right dress and still didnt adjust to get properly aligned. Drill Sergeants marched still & robotic. One was out of step

[@nlee5034]

WTF?! How are they THAT much out of step, when marching?! Must be all those “red cards”, and snacks they hand out now. I get that they learn a lot more now, and they have 9 more weeks to train, than did we in the ‘90s. But, marching in step, is the simplest task they teach at BCT. Are the new recruits really that unteachable?

[@garouuchiha4041]

That's the ARMY!, that's how it is in the ARMY....no sync of steps in marching, it's been going on for years. No lie.

[@theLoneWolfSpeaks]

And they weren’t properly aligned. Not impressed

[@BeyondThe-b3v]

Infantry dont give out red cards homie, at least not when I went through several.. witnessed drills slamming soldiers to the ground...

[@unfunnyironypage9664]

you guys bitch a lot lol

[@LukeAngusMusic]

Don't know what bs you've bought into. I didn't get any fucking red card, or snacks. I got MRES and a sand bag. Unless you've done it recently be quiet

[@cnino1971]

How stupid the army is nowadays. Not to be a hater, but hello! One marching band and two uniforms? Wtf! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@J.B24]

They need to get rid of those awful uniforms

[@battlefieldimmersion]

Bro the new AGSUs are wayyyy better than the previous ASUs

[@J.B24]

@@battlefieldimmersion they look like shit. There's no reason they can't design a modern uniform that looks good. Dumbass Trump wanted ya'll to look like we're back in the 40s.

[@garouuchiha4041]

Yup, but that's the ARMY, a joke.
