Ben Allen so at reception battalion. If I have a few cavities. Also needing to get my wisdom tooth pulled. Well I still be able to go through?

“Getting smoked” is just a comedy show, not scary or hard at all. Drill sgts just crack jokes all day, youll learn to love em

Basic ain't bad, you gotta think its 2 1/2 months. You should be worried about how the regular life is gonna be. Basic is just a fraction of your career. Just enjoy it, yea I said enjoy cause your gonna make friends for life while going through the suck together.

Thank you for your thorough description! My 17yr old son just left for the army and I have become obsessed with these basic training videos, trying to figure out what they are dong to my baby. Your video actually helped ease my mind a bit. Although it sounds tough, you also made it sound pretty fun and rewarding.

[@BigShotBaske]

Graduated from Jackson March 14th, had AIT at Jackson too lol (36B) graduated May 15 and now I'm in Germany for 2. Anyone going to Jackson, from my experience, it is incredibly easy. 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

[@ArroyoElvin]

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 went in July ‘92 at Ft Knox. Boot camp was 8 weeks and it was tough back then; I damn near failed. 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 ✊🏾

I'm already approaching my 1st year in on 20NOV2018 and man Basic Training at Fort Sill was really something. All I can say for you recruits is the same thing all Drill Sergeants will tell you which is right place, right uniform, and right time. Also stay hydrated at all times and be FAST. If you struggle with PT every night do your pushups and situps no matter how tired you are, besides that goodluck and looking forward to serving with you future soldiers.

Honestly, looking back on it. Basic/AIT was some of the most fun I've had in the Army. One tip you missed tho, MAKE SURE YOUR LCOKERS ARE LOCKED, cannot stress that enough. If not you will come back to a bay with stuff thrown everywhere, shaving cream on everything, bunks and mattresses knocked over. 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

Bennett and sgt. freenor they helped him make the best decision hes ever made ..my son left for boot camp in ft. leanord wood Missouri on may 29th 2019..the start of a brand new chapter of what will be an amazing exciting life.. NOT only will he be able to see the world , he will make new friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime and a brotherhood bond that only military members know about ..I'm a very proud mom of a soon to be graduated bootcamp soldier.. 9weeks left lol ..brand new ...but like my son elijah said quitting is not an option ..he will never give up he will push through even if has nothing left to.push ...thankyou sir for this video it made me feel alittle better and understood alittle more clearly what goes on ..hes in the blackout phase where there can be zero contact between us, so my anxiety is at 100 lol...but I know hes ok ....much respect to you sir and thankyou again for your service to our country . without people like you we wouldnt have the freedoms that we live by today and unfortunately some take for granted ...enjoy your life you deserve it xo

[@reggiesmith3859]

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

[@macburger5026]

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.

Leaving in two weeks, no nerves, confident but not cocky, never felt like I've been more ready for pain in my life

[@graham5105]

How was it??

[@The_RoseAndDagger]

@@graham5105 surprisingly easy 😂

[@forevermar7400]

@@The_RoseAndDagger bro plz give me a rundown on your experience

[@The_RoseAndDagger]

@@forevermar7400 I'm currently sitting in the barracks about to take a shower and go out to eat, basic was not easy but don't get me wrong it wasn't hard, I really don't remember alot and I can tell you it goes by quick, as long as you don't give up on yourself your drills won't give up on you

[@gabeskonseng9415]

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.

[@elviaaguirre-reyes2666]

Thank you so much for this video! This is really helpful. I leave to Fort Jackson August 20th (25U) and I'm nervous but overall excited

[@connerguillotte350]

Just graduated from Leonard Wood on November 1st

[@DapperSapper515]

How is it there???

[@rockyrodriguez1605]

How was it?

[@JimmyTolliverBuccs]

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.

[@TheBenAllen.]

Yeah times have changed since then man, it’s all watered down now

[@mavieevo]

Leaving for Fort Sill in November. Excited for the challenge and pushing myself. Not excited for all the pushups, I can only do 5/6 at the moment 😂

[@mavieevo]

Also not excited for the cold!

[@delaneemayor5275]

My fiancé is going to For Bennington oct. 13, this definitely eased my mind. Thank you

[@demonjmh]

Why do you only ever hear of the same places over and over.. Jackson, Benning, etc when they told me I was going to fort leonard wood in missouri I was like what the hell I had never heard of it

[@vigilantlegends482]

I don’t mean to laugh but this is so funny Good luck though you’ll be fine

[@garfieldthemaskedhedgehog4268]

Awesome video! I am excited about everything! Can't wait til I start, cause I will get to protect people! While I am in high school(10th grade this school year, since I am already out of school) I will protect bullied people(or at least try my best to)! Hope you have a fantastic day, and I subscribed, can't wait for future videos!

[@mcoleman6893]

Good morning. For basic training, the locations are Fort Sill, OK; Fort Benning, GA; Fort Jackson, SC; Fort Leonard Wood, MO

[@jrodeo266]

Ain’t used to people screaming at me. R.I.P.

[@tonyyy_tj]

But besides that this was a very good video thanks for giving us all some great detail about what life in basic is

[@FieldMarshalYT]

Shipping june 17th, Soldiering, here I come!

[@samuelthestranger12]

You going to Leonard wood?

[@FieldMarshalYT]

@@samuelthestranger12 Nope, Jackson.

[@danieladiaphorist1308]

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.

[@jordangonzales863]

If youre shipping out to any branch soon, check out the sandbox app. Its a good way to pretty much instantly receive letters from home. I think it works with all branches

[@ambertellez8004]

Waiting for my Final MEPS, should be projected any time now. Im just excited to be going! I'm taking it one step at a time. Being a child of the military anyways helps so much! There's so much that I already have a grasp on such as Acronyms, Soldiers creed, and just basic military expectancy.

[@DanielJGomez99]

Rough Marches, becoming Squad Leader, and walking the stage.

[@zacthomas541]

Going to fort benning aug 26, and I can’t wait to embrace the suck!

[@24klogan86]

Goodluck! I'M going to meps next week and hopefully leaving for basic training November 25th based off my mos what's your mos if you don't mind me asking?

[@myboyecho627]

See you there

[@dylanspoor3566]

I’m extremely excited for the team work and building parts! Thank you for this video, man!

[@sillyjet7479]

Finally of age to enlist and im working on getting back into tip top shape before basic training

[@thomascavner18]

I went to Ft. Benning during the summer which was miserable but based on my MOS I should’ve went to Ft. Jackson. But my advice if you’re going to Benning, be squared away, and try to keep you’re head down and not get in trouble! Make memories and friends! Don’t give up!

[@islapnecks843]

Head to fort Jackson in 4 weeks I’m prepared..... Mentally 😢
