After watching this reaction series.... I'm forever grateful for military men and women that endure basic training and hold the highest standard as they serve. I grew up with multiple people in the military from Marines, Army, and National Guard branches. My aunt served while pregnant overseas in the National Guard after the 9/11 tragedy. She still has military in her. I feel extremely safe when I'm around her because she knows all exits and watches everyone in the room... although I personally wouldn't join the military, I salute to all who put their lives on the line for my safety while in war or not!! Thank you Austen Alexander!

The infantry in the us army does osut. Which means one station unit training. I went through in 2009. You pretty much do your basic training (Boot camp) then go straight into your AIT or advanced individual training. With that you stay with the same drill sergeants from day 0 of basic training to the day you graduate from osut.

So "OSUT" is One station unit training; basically certain MOS's in the Army have their Basic Training and AIT (Advanced Individual Training) combined. Some examples are 11B or Infantryman, 12B or Combat engineer, and 13B Cannon Crew Member. Most of the jobs in the Army Require you to attend Basic Training and then attend AIT at a separate base.

To explain OSUT, it means certain jobs complete their basic training (10 weeks) and their AIT training all in one cycle back to back.

[@navyprico]

There are specific MOS training that is OSUT (one-station unit training), it is bootcamp and AIT together. Infantry (CMF 11) is one of the MOS that is OSUT. All other MOS will go to bootcamp and then move on to AIT. Electronics training (CMF 94) is separated bootcamp and AIT. EDIT: @Austen Alexander, it is MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain). Pronounced like "mount" but without the "n".

[@latoriaeaster106]

Army Basic Combat Training (BCT) is 10 weeks long. Specialized military occupational specialties (MOS) such as Infantry, Armor, and MP go to OSUT. OSUT is One Station Unit Training which means both their basic training and AIT (advanced individual training) are at the same location and coincide with one another. Other MOSes usually go to a different base to have their AIT.

Infantry training is always held at Fort Benning GA and is OSUT (One Station Unit Training) where basic and AIT are combined together. I was an 11B and went to basic in April 2001. Back then our basic and AIT or OSUT was only 13 weeks long. I know the Army extended the training to make it 22 weeks long which is a good thing, even though the Army is a lot a lot softer now a days while one is in basic.

[@lRaiTz]

Army basic training lasts 10 weeks once soldiers get picked up from reception. From there, they send each soldier to their AIT os MOS school. I did my training at Ft. Benning, GA. and was sent to Ft. Lee, VA. The 22 week training is for the infantry soldiers. They go thru their 10 weeks of basic and then continue into their infantry training. After they are pinned with the blue cord, they are sent for further training like airborne or sent to their duty stations

It's insane how different the army is these days. Back when I joined in 2006, the Drill Sergeants would gang up on you (which is what an actual shark attack is, not whatever they were doing at the beginning of the video), and they'd get so close to you, their brown rounds would be smashing into your face. Spit flying everywhere. And then they'd punish the entire platoon for one person's mistake. I went to OSUT at Ft. Leonard Wood. I think it was like 19 weeks long total. Maybe 20 weeks. Don't remember. We weren't allowed to eat the "sweet" parts of our MREs. We had to throw them away as soon as we opened them up. And may whatever god you believe in help you if you were the unlucky one who got the vegetarian breakfast omelet MRE. Looked and tasted like vomit.

Yes, DI's tend to be pricks sometimes. When I went to basic in 1977, we still had C-rations but I hear the MREs are better than them. When we picked out our C-rations, I always went for the tunafish one because it had the best selection of stuff in it and it was the best cold meal.

Might have been said: Basic Training is 10 weeks (9 when I went in 03), AIT is immediately after. Some are OSUT (Infantry, MP, Chemical, Engineers) but others go to other bases for training. BCT (Basic Combat Training) is done at 5 military bases : Benning (was male only, now Co-ed), Jackson (Co-ed), Leonard Wood (Co-ed), Knox (Male only), and Sill (Male only). If your MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) falls under OSUT, then your Drill Sergeants are your primary MOS instructors. In my case as an MP mine was OSUT so I pretty much had basic training for 17 weeks.

Yeah, they mistitled the video. This video covered US Army Infantry One Station Unit Training (OSUT.) For most MOS' in the Army, a trainee will go to Basic Training for 11 weeks (Ft Jackson, Ft Leonard Wood, Ft Benning, etc.) and then proceed on to a different post for their Advance Initial Training (MOS training.) OSUT, which is primarily for combat MOS', basically wraps both Basic Training and AIT into one cycle. So for Infantry OSUT, Trainees will show up to Ft Benning, do reception for 2 weeks, then the Basic Training portion for 11 weeks or so, have a family weekend pass, and then go straight into the MOS (Infantry) specific training.

This was Infantry One Station Unit Training (OSUT). A little different than other MOS training. In other MOS training, a soldier will complete basic training at a basic training installation, and then will report to a different unit for Advanced Individual Training (AIT) to learn their MOS specific skills (i.e. aviation, quartermaster, MP, etc.). With Infantry OSUT it’s a total of 22 weeks (14 when I went years ago), is conducted only at Ft. Benning, GA, and includes basic training and advance infantry training all in one place. You stay with the same unit for both basic and MOS training, and you stay with the same Drill Sergeants and classmates all the way through till graduation.

OSUT is basic training and job training all in one. Some jobs in the Army have OSUT where there is no pause in between Basic and job training. It carries all the way through.

There are jobs in the Army that have 13 weeks of basic training then they are shipped off to their job training that varies in length.

[@Rickdog787]

So it’s actually basic training, not like marines “boot camp”. OSUT is just your 9 week BCT (basic combat training) then its 7ish weeks of “job” or MOS training. So I’m a 19D (cavalry scout) here at Fort Benning, and my OSUT was 17 weeks. The infantry guys I’ve talked to have 22 week cycles. But that’s how BCT and OSUT works for the most part. Obviously various with MOS’s. So yes you are correct there at the end of your video.

I'm a 19D shipping to Benning for OSUT in about a month, and I get told by some people that it's ~16 weeks and others tell me it's ~22 weeks. I talked to an 11B who went through the 22 week OSUT, told me I'd probably do 22 weeks as well, but you say yours is 17 weeks, so I'm rather confused.

I can say that people who sign up for the infantry training job our house and are trained separately from people who are there just for the basic who are going to do another job.

If you’re an 11B, you go to Basic training and infantry training back to back. It’s basically one course. When we finished the basic training course, the drill sergeants sarcastically clapped for us one morning and said “congrats, you just graduated from Basic Training. The bad news: welcome to the first day of the Infantry Course.” We even kept the same drill sergeants. The combined courses of Basic and Infantry AIT is called OSUT.

OSUT. It’s One Station Unit Training and it’s a combined basic training and Infantry training that is 22 weeks long. From there you go to Airborne and then RIP (RASP now) or go straight to a leg unit or go airborne and then Special Forces, etc. Say, if you are 101st you would leave OSUT for your unit and at your unit you would be trained in air assault or complete air assault school since the screaming eagles are now an air assault unit. If you’re going airborne infantry you graduate OSUT and paint some rocks waiting for airborne school. The idea was to streamline the process to include better training. When I went through we had a sort of tiny celebration where the DI’s said we were at the phase where we would graduate basic and they let us go to the px and pizza place for a Sunday I think it was.

Now BCT/AIT soldiers go through basic training which is 10 weeks, then they will graduate once they’ve completed it and be sent to whichever station or unit wether it’s on the same base or not to do their school. For me as a 12D I did basic training with combat engineers in ft LWood, once BCT was over I left the unit and moved to a different one but remained on ft LWood while everybody else remained at the same unit to complete their combat engineer school

[@davidkohler5323]

The video depicts U.S. infantry OSUT( one station unit training). U.S. army basic training is 9 weeks, 10 if you want to include reception. Infantry soldiers will stay with their basic training unit to complete their additional MOS training to equal their 22 weeks as apposed to most other soldiers who will attend AIT ( MOS training) at another unit. Their are several MOSs that practice OSUT but considering the over 150 MOS options in the army it is not common.

They call it one station unit training because for example an infantry soldier would go through bootcamp, then straight to their infantry school while at the same place, or “one station” they just don’t leave and go somewhere else.

[@dakotaburchett77]

O.S.U.T. (one station unit training) is a combination on basic combat training, and advanced individual training. primarily used for combat-based MOSs like infantry, combat engineers, artillery, cav scouts, and MPs

[@Timmy-qc1ss]

They have Basic Training in different places depending on their MOS (occupation). For example, you would go to Fort Benning for boot camp if you were an infantrymen, or you would go to Fort Leonard Wood if you were in the Military Police. And also, OSUT is basically training that comes extra with boot camp for some occupations. (I'm not in the army, so correct me if I'm wrong.)

OSUT is back to back basic training followed up by AIT (Advanced Individual Training) “job training” on the same base. Some MOS’ only have OSET such as Infantry, engineers, MP’s etc.. while others such as HR or Medical have their AIT somewhere else. - Army 68W Combat Medic

[@acady5164]

Actual combat specialties (i.e. Infantry, Cav Scouts, etc) go to OSUT. It is basic training and advanced (job) training in one. If you are non-combat, such as supply, you go to bootcamp, then to advanced training afterward.

[@hays76]

Yes, Fort Benning is designated for infantry. There are 4 locations for basic combat training in the U.S. Army.

[@jjjkinnemore]

So to clarify, if you are infantry you go to a different basic training than other jobs in the Army. What you saw here was the Army Infantry Basic Training, which is known as OUST. The marines have their own combat training after basic but it wasn't shown in the video you posted.

[@CarterIsAway]

Yeah training is halted everywhere, Im Canadian forces the training is going to resume in about a months time. Totally different.

[@patmangus2014]

It's OSUT which stands for One Station Unit Training meaning that the first 9 weeks after the 2 week reception phase is Basic Training and the rest is their AIT portion or Advanced Individual Training. OSUT training means that it all occurs at that same base which is most likely the branch school base for that MOS, Mililary Occupation Specialty. Infantry and Armor soldiers are all trained at Fort Benning.

[@bonosos80]

Yes. They already went to basic for 10 weeks, then train infantry, which is pretty much advanced basic all over again with more tactics and such, for 12 more weeks. And that’s all they’ll do, fight.

[@th9643]

OSUT - One Stop Unit Training. They go to basic at Benning then go to AIT at Benning. They literally just put them on a bus to drive to another location on base for AIT.

[@DanielRodriguez-dw7ow]

Some of the best sleep you will have in your life. I did my training at Ft. KNOX for CAV SCOUT, but you never leave until your OSUT is over it’s basic and job training all together when I went through almost 10 years ago the drill Sargents never went easy on you, it was like that first week or basic for the full 22 weeks till the day you graduate. I don’t regret making my choice to join the ARMY.

[@aidanehst]

Well the Army video followed Infantry soldiers going through OSUT. The Marine video was all MOS’s which is why it may seem more combative based training

[@Hunter-hz9vq]

Combat training, the infantry especially trains at GA, the infantry is known as OSUT and is 22 weeks. Basic training can be held at Ft. Jackson, Fort Benning, Fort Sill, and Fort Leonardwood. Go to Fort Benning to see the real deal training and the National Infantry Museum

[@9601danb]

OSUT is One Stop Unit Training so they do basic and AIT at one spot. So its 10 weeks of basic and 12 weeks of AIT for Infantry training

[@loneranger5593]

It's called Infantry OSUT. ''One Station Unit Training'' I went to Fox 2-58, 22 week cycle on Sand Hill. It's basic training combined with AIT to form the 22 weeks.

[@AirsoftReaper]

Correct, they’re infantry and they were doing their basic training and once they pass phase 1 they’ll move onto phase 2 of training their actual infantry training. It’s like the British infantry we do phase 1 (basic) then phase 2 (infantry training) which I am joining.

[@paulgoodwin8616]

I went to Basic training at Ft. Jackson! Then to Ft Eustis Va. for my AIT. Became an Aircraft power plant mechanic. Worked on mostly helicopters in my almost 12 year’s in the U.S. Army! I enlisted on the delay entry program in 1975. Went Active Duty in October 1976. Ended up out on a Reduction in Force June 1988.

[@toastedtoast2144]

OSUT stands for One Stop Unit Training so you go through your basic training which is 10 weeks then go through AIT with the same people right after basic you stay in the unit you started in at the very beginning

[@Chuck55892]

OSUT is when trainees spend their basic training and AIT at the same place. For example, infantryman do boot camp and infantry training at Fort Benning making is OSUT. However, someone who is an attack helicopter repairer would go to two different places for boot camp and AIT, if that breaks it down easier for you.

[@andrewjones675]

For Infantry, Military Police, Combat Engineers, Bridge Crewmember, M1 Abrams Crewman, and Cavalry Scout do not goto basic then AIT. They have basic training the whole way through basically. It is called One Station Unit Training(OSUT). It's significantly harder than the training other MOS go through, due to the fact that they have Drill Sergeants the ENTIRE way through, and AIT for other MOS is MUCH more relaxed.

[@韓国J]

u know they brought ds's to ait now dont ya?

[@candykirby7625]

My son is getting ready to leave for the Army BC and it’s 24 weeks. If they are infantry they will do the full boot camp and AIT all in Georgia. This is what my son will be doing.

[@DrewHuggins423]

In the army instead of going to BCT and AIT separately, they go to OSUT (which combines BCT and tech school (AIT), that’s why it’s so long) it’s not all boot camp. 11B infantry training happens all at once. There are four (correct me if I’m wrong) posts that have OSUT. Everyone else, non OSUT MOS go to BCT at Ft. Jackson, SC. It is the largest TRADOC post and houses the school for Chaplains as well as the AIT for Chaplains assistants.

[@laangelsfan]

It's 22 weeks of Infantry OSUT combined with Basic and AIT within all together. Then just Regular army Basic Training with 10 Weeks and from there they moved on to their AIT location

[@txhoser45acp3]

I was the white that the drill sergeant was yelling at saying “WHY ARE YOU MOVING, WHY ARE YOU MOVING” when I got off the bus it was a surreal experience knowing that I’m stepping in the footsteps of those who may not be on earth anymore. I was in Echo company 1-81 AR we were a 22 week cycle

[@fearthewolf1175]

The DS in the video, DS Laitila, was one of the DS’ when I went in. 3rd PLT “Slayers” A Co 3-47. Also it is universally agreed, straight out of basic, that all of us would rather die than go back to 30th AG again

[@Kafkodesu]

It's both Infantry and Armor OSUT (One Station Unit Training) at Fort Benning on Sand Hill and Harmony Church. OSUT Combined basic training and AIT into one continuous period of training. The Armor OSUT shown in this video was the unit I graduated from last year.
