Life during ARMY BASIC TRAINING

[@drellz9361]

Thank you bro for your videos you helped me so much getting myself together to join the military

[@Mitch-rd9gs]

Finally! You’d never believe how difficult it is to find a straightforward video like this on KZbin. I know it’s older but I really appreciate it. I’ve only got about 3 months left before I ship out and am getting increasingly more anxious so this helps a bunch. Thanks a lot!

[@allblackeverything23]

y'all woke up at 5:30 I went to basic at fort jackson in 2014 and we woke up at 4:30

[@kidthndr2]

We might have gotten up a little earlier on some days but on average yea thats it.

[@allblackeverything23]

kidthndr2 you hit it right on the head about people being immature, that's basically why we got smoked most of the time and people acting goofy

[@kidthndr2]

Yea man, I was so sick and tired of that BS bro.

[@viperdemonz-jenkins]

done my basic at FT Sill, winter 01. dont forget the fireguard done more than my share of that. my battle buddy was a lazy ass, so filled in so much. got tired of it rolled the fucker out of bunk as DS walked in. he went straight to office, the idiot went back to bed that was a big mistake on his part. then at field training he slept day and night in tent and I in foxhole, Senior DS came running up from behind turned aimed rifle at his head seen canister turned around and let it happen. for anyone planning on joining never be that guy and never be the guy that rats both are bad for you.

[@kidthndr2]

hahahhahahahhahah

[@johnc2950]

As much as basic sucks, I'm looking forward to the grind. Awesome videos brotha, god bless

[@kidthndr2]

God Bless

[@paxtonwheeler98]

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

[@MeZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ]

I'm trying to understand what "getting smoked" is..do they hit you?

[@briannat.4567]

MeZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ you gone have to do push ups 😂😂

[@TheArmyBelle]

MeZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ a lot of yelling and push ups

[@kidthndr2]

Basically what they said. Tons of pushups, flutterkicks, running and yelling.

[@itsfotoula]

MeZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ ultra sucking lol

[@jackassreloaded1122]

basically a lot of PT

[@austinhill5777]

Love these boot camp videos.

[@kidthndr2]

Thanks, Pretty sure I covered everything though. Dont think there will be to much more.

[@cathyzallis390]

When do they get their calls

[@kidthndr2]

At the end of every phase. Red , White, Blue phase

[@cathyzallis390]

if he is in reception will he get s call when he goes to his unit? from what I read yeah he went on the 16th and haven't heard anything I'm going crazy cause I don't even know where to send letters

[@kidthndr2]

You have your phone in reception however there isn't any service there. The limited spots with service were always being hogged by people all day and night to make there phone calls where they had reception. He will send you a letter first than you just respond with the address he sent you. We didn't know our address untill we actually got there.

[@NMbones98]

Ok basically prison time to switch to serious mode for 10 weeks

[@kidthndr2]

Pretty much.

[@linkguy30]

wow, how did that person try to commit suicide?

[@kidthndr2]

He drank a bottle of pine sol

[@rafaelalvarez4846]

What getting smoked means?

[@macburger5026]

Rafael Alvarez If you're serious, it's a slang for drill sergeants punishing you, usually with push ups. Also called "corrective training"

[@hs4a085]

Ganjah

[@jake123tx]

[@parisporter7645]

[@kidthndr2]

[@JamesIsMe82]

Only if you can hold your breathe while doing so

[@rebeccamentzer6108]

[@kidthndr2]

[@Ok_big_sun57]

[@kidthndr2]

[@anwarazeez5110]

Lmao that was hartley who left his pictures in the bathroom lol. I think Broadway was the one who found it or something and showed us.

[@hutsongamble5086]

I didn’t realize suicide was a common problem in basic. Are people who attempt it kicked out

[@jameswhite4638]

Hutson Gamble my friend was put on suicide watch. He was in a hospital with bars on the window. Yes, you get kicked out. Not sure if it’s dishonorable discharge I never asked him

[@sil3nt.0wnage67]

i never asked you.. but what is your current rank ?

[@kidthndr2]

Im currently an E5 Going through OCS

[@sil3nt.0wnage67]

nice.. big jump

[@kidthndr2]

i started at E4 than went to E5 after basic. only 1 rank.

[@sil3nt.0wnage67]

ah ,, thats awesome wish i could start as e4, wish you the best with ocs

[@kidthndr2]

Thanks bro, I appreciate the support.

[@NoLimitLonzo]

What's up man! I have a quick question. I enjoy solving puzzles such as the Rubik's Cube ? I have 4 cubes that I want to bring: a 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and 6x6. Can I bring my cubes ?

[@kidthndr2]

Bruh , they took like 2 people's Rubik's cubes. They even took playing cards ... Not a good idea to bring it , but it all depends on your Drill Sergeants.

[@NoLimitLonzo]

kidthndr2 do you know if they ever got hem back. Collectively, those 4 cubes that I named cost $85. It would suck to get them taken and not returned.

[@timezone107740]

ArtistUnknown They probably won't.

[@TheArmyBelle]

ArtistUnknown Just buy a cheap one and take it, not your good ones

[@jessehawkes1298]

Suicide attempts??? That happens?

[@shimoreplummer4950]

What do you train in? (Clothes related)

[@kidthndr2]

compression shorts, tshirts, shorts and running shoes.

[@starvingrhymes1572]

Fort Jackson August 21st

[@kidthndr2]

Good luck, dont post your ship date though.

[@calvinneill1908]

Omw to Fort Jackson in 4 days!!!!

[@kidthndr2]

Good luck!!!

[@smzee27]

This sounds very similar to Air Force Basic Training (I went through 5 years ago), but obviously you guys do more PT and more Tactical training. I'm considering Army OCS so I appreciate your insight.

[@kidthndr2]

Glad I could help

[@Callofduty003434]

During your experience did you know anyone who actually enjoyed training and everything or is everyone miserable?

[@kidthndr2]

Yes I know guys who enjoyed it, some of the guys that were going to OCS that wanted infantry liked it. To each his own.

[@TheLastKillZone]

Hey Dom keep these vids up! about to go into ROTC @ LSU and they are really interesting!

[@kidthndr2]

Got ya bro , Will do!

[@johnmagon4578]

Yo bro how often do you get deployed in the army and how often are you stationed in the USA and for how long

[@PJIZBOSS]

Great vid man saw the notification on sc

[@kidthndr2]

Appreciate it fam.

[@champ2800]

Kidthndr2 would it be possible to exchange emails to discuss officer life, roles responsibilities etc. I'm currently a SPC. And have been thinking of changing over.

[@kidthndr2]

hit me [e-mail]

[@evanmansfield5297]

So during basic training should I log what I've learned in a book or is that not allowed? Because I heard there is a bmt test at the end of it. And what's the best way to train before I get sent?

[@kidthndr2]

bmt test? Theres a test at the end of every phase yes. red,blue and white.

[@chrislecce3993]

Did BCT feel different because you were going to OCS after? Like does your PT scores and everything else effect you at OCS?

[@matthewooten5142]

I like those shoes in the background I got two pairs

[@kidthndr2]

those brooks? Thanks bro

[@rayshaunclark6786]

Email?

[@kidthndr2]

[@kidthndr2]

Good Luck!

[@King-mk9vi]

Hey did you gain a lot of muscle in the Army? If you're stationed on base do you actually get to go to gyms on your time off? Is there a lot to offer on base? I took the Go Army virtual tour and it seemed too good to be true. Thank you in advance, I've been watching your videos for some months now because I'm looking into joining the Army at 18 or 19 and you provide a lot of good information.

[@kidthndr2]

I dont really go to the gym, but I'd imagine during your off time you would gain muscle if you went regularly.

[@macburger5026]

Gabriel Fate Gaining muscle really isn't that easy to do in the Army. The reason why is because of the fact that not only do we have long days of work, but also because most of us have to do mandatory unit PT every duty day. We don't get to choose what exercises we want to do, and we also do long runs a lot (the Army and the Marines do the most running). We can go to the gym during our time off, but we really can't gain muscle like we want because of what I talked about. Believe it or not, it might actually be easier to get more buff in the Air Force instead of the Army or even Marines because the Air Force is more chill and allows you more personal time. The Air Force *actually allows you to do PT on your own and only mandates morning unit PT like twice a week instead all five days like the Army and Marines do* So you get more time to work out on your own with the "chair force" and that would mean you'd be in the gym more instead of doing long runs and doing what the Army nowadays calls "PRT" like laying on the ground doing the "prone row" So you'd more likely be able to get more buff with the "chair force" instead.

[@HS-yw1us]

wassup bro. im a silent viewer of yours. i had a plan to join militry . my problemnis im not really good in english and im just new here at states. it is gonna be a big problem for me to join? specially in training bootcamp etc. i really need idea's . thanks bro i really appreciate if you give some ideas. big help.

[@kidthndr2]

I mean there was a couple of people whos first language wasn't english. They struggled some yes, that is to be expected however you will make it through!

[@maddawg4492]

Yo kidthndr2 Wanted to get your advice on this, my brother has been in since 2010 says the army is not good to join now I'm 26 married with two kids I want to join the army and I'm battling between active and national guard my wife is not really feeling active at all so just want to get your thoughts and thanks for the vids man really inspiring and informative.

[@kidthndr2]

So heres my thoughts, Your family comes first bro. Active is a tough life, you could get assigned to a unit with a high Optempo and that usually crushes marriages I hear. The ARMY will always be here but your family wont. I would sit down with your wife weigh out the pros and cons and try to come up with a good compromise. Maybe 1 contract active and the rest national guard. However If I were you , I would definitely rethink active being married I just haven't seen alot of good stuff to be honest. Best of luck toyou

[@maddawg4492]

kidthndr2 I Thanks for the good word bro take care man keep up the good work bro

[@gallyturndrop5320]

dang, i thought you said news not nudes

[@kidthndr2]

lmfao.

[@adrianmadrigal6805]

Is basic training all about physical training every day? I’m confused a little. Is it not stop like running and lifting or are there intervals of rest I guess?

[@kidthndr2]

There are mental aspects to it, however there is alot of physical to it also.
