It seems like it's a horrible time, and it is, but looking back you see just how much of a great time you had. My Drill Sergeants were great. They're scary during the 1st week or so but they open up and turn out to be some of the most influential people in your life. I loved my Drill Sergeants. Embrace the suck

Well, I've never been good in any kind of sports and english is not my first language. But I've always dreamed of being physically fit and always felt the desire of becoming a soldier. Now that I've finally made the decision of joining, I know is not going to be easy since I'm 34 years old. So I think that's what I'm really most excited about, is going through all the experience of getting out of my comfort zone and achieving not only what I've always wanted physically but professionally too. Seeing that I am capable of doing it and that there is nothing impossible. Thanks Ben.

I was 75C (personnel admin specialist) and went to Ft Harrison, IN for 9 weeks, then went to my first duty station, Ft Campbell, KY. Fellas, if you’re gonna join the Army, start doing push ups, sit ups and go to the YMCA/high school track and run 8 laps around the track because you’re gonna do PT 5 days a week in basic training. Your recruiter won’t tell you this, but if you’re the hardcore rough and rugged type, get stationed at Ft Campbell, Ft Bragg, Ft Drum, Ft Hood or Ft Benning. If you’re the laid type, get stationed anywhere in VA. Good luck fellas, This We’ll Defend ✊🏾

One time they even dumped shredded paper over all the shaving cream to make things an absolute disaster like the Joplin tornado and hurricane Katrina hit at the same time

I was medically retired in 2012 from the army. No joke, your barracks room looks very similar to the barracks room I had at Fort Hood and I know for a fact they aren’t the same. First duty station was Fort Drum

I'm currently in AIT (after basic training) it was not nearly as bad as it seems. Just don't take anything personally and you'll be fine!

Dude in my platoon put his BCG in his pocket at the range while his rifle was shotgunned for inspection. Well one of his cough drops got caught in it and it melted all over the firing mechanism. So he had to charge his weapon after each shot. The reaction from the DS was priceless. The same guy also dry fired his weapon while pulling security on the 8k ruck. It was dead silence and all everyone heard was “click.” The DS lost her mind, and the guy’s excuse was he was checking to see if it was on safe. Lmao

Reggie Smith All kinds of crazy stuff from trainees. We had one guy in my platoon who got tackled because he was absent minded and flagged other trainees. He was allowed to stay with the company for the rest of the cycle but he was forced to restart white phase so he couldn't graduate with us. While we were pulling security on the Forge our first night (while trying to make it look like we weren't falling asleep because it was like 3AM and we were dog tired from the twelve mile ruck and from having to do PT when we were done), we had another guy in my platoon who saw a drone flying and actually pointed his weapon and fired off a blank. The drill sergeants, even after they found out the guy who did it, forced the whole platoon, including the females whom the drill sergeants knew had nothing to do with it, to low crawl for whatseemed like half an hour. One of the other platoons had *FIFTEEN* of their weapons taken by drill sergeants, and they were forced to all low crawl too. Great memories.

I went through before they changed to the new BCT format so I’m unfamiliar with the forge. We just had FTX 1, 2, and 3. I heard the final march was like a 60 mile ruck.

I also went to for sill Oklahoma, it wasn't bad because I went in September and it was nice out. Basic Training isn't that bad, just keep your head down, do what your told with no questions asked, and make as many friends as possible. Basic training is going to be the best worst time of your life. You guys might not understand that now but you will.

Reception was nothing like MEPS at Ft Jackson. Reception was a nightmare and the drill sgt’s were all in your face. This guy makes it sound way too easy. Shark attack starts in reception. At least that’s what happened to me when I joined in 2007.

We had a drill Sgt who would ride between us while we were marching. He had a fishing pole he would hang a cs container to. When he flicked the pole the canister would activate and fly into our ranks. One time the canister didn't break free and came back to the drill(who wasn't wearing a mask). Ah! Memories.
