Nowadays it appears the Army Drill Instructors shout, but it was different when I went through back in 1982, at Ft. Jackson, SC...I mean, they got IN YOUR FACE AND SCREAMED BLOODY MURDER....Called you names, threatened you, etc., LOL...However, in many ways I think the Army today is more "with it" in as far as the thoroughness of the training...That has changed for the better from what I see on here...The Drill Instructors seem to want to be more positive with today's recruit, not just belittle and tear them down...It SHOULD be as intense as possible...

[@zero2583]

keith rissolo we got a full treatment at ft. Knox in 2002. Always yelling, belittling us, one even got in your face and used personal info about the recruits to tear them down and get a reaction out of them. He used my deceased father as fodder to tear me apart. Allowed a single 2 min phone call once a week on sundays with them standing next to you to ensure you dont say nasty shit about them or they would hang up the phone and smoke you for an hour just because they could. Things got less loud as time went on and they did talk to us normal tone but they'd still smoke you good for fucking up. I have seen some peoples social media accounts with pics of them currently in training so i guess some facilities are less brutal and allow personal cell phones as a break from it all.

You have the right to know what happens to your loved ones while in bootcamp! And what type of leaders the Army provides for your loved ones! Sexual Harassment During White Phase for Alpha company 119 during last formation Drill Sergeant Guzman stood on top of the CQ desk and ordered all of the company to grab themselves. Many of the privates obeyed the command, but many did not. Drill Sergeant Guzman repeated her command Several times to the privates noticing that many where not obeying her command. Drill Sergeant Stewart then said do it, do as she say’s privates. After Drill Sergeant Stewart said this even more privates obeyed the order to touch themselves. The company is made of females and males. However still some of the privates chose to disobey the order. I was among those few. When this was happening, I was troubled and disgusted with the orders and the leadership. I then later contacted Sharp about the incident. And sharp began an investigation on the matter. Part of the investigation was talking to a random of 12 privates out of the 180 sexually harassed. They were questioned on if what I had said was true or not with my complaint. The army said they felt that the sexual harassment in this case was not that serious. The two drill sergeants continued to be drill sergeants for the remainder of the training. And from what I assume are still considered drill sergeants at this time. This all happened during white phase of training, around May 30, 2018 is estimated time. However, I’m sure the Army knows the exact date this all happened. Mistreatment of non-trainees/Harassment/Sexual Discrimination 1. Non-Trainees where not permitted to go to the concert, or have family day. 2. Some non-trainers are kept from going home for 7 weeks or longer. 3. Non-trainers have to walk in the back of the lines. 4. Drill Sergeants have told non-trainers to turn around while the company was in formation. Drill Sergeant Miller said he didn’t want to look at their faces. 5. Because of the disrespectfulness and unprofessionalism some of the drill sergeants have towards non-trainers, the trainees follow the example of the drill sergeants. Creating a more aggressive disrespectful environment between trainees and non-trainees. 6. Drill Sergeants have told non-trainees that they were going to kill them. 7. Non-trainees are not allowed to call their families while the trainees are. 8. Trainees would be told not to talk to the quitters/non-trainers. 9. Some non-trainees cannot have a protein bar at last formation. 10. Non-trainees would be degraded, and embarrassed in front of the entire company. 11. Non-Trainers are forced at times to do two fire guard shifts in one night. While the trainees would do just one shift. 12. A female private was not required to recycle do to a negligent discharge that her and a man had done on the same day. However, he was required because he was a man. The army requires a percentage of the woman in boot camp to graduate. (Happened in white phase) Just because a trainee quits in basic training does not mean they are dishonorable. The Army/life style is not for everyone. Some people choose to as least try the Army out, and this is honorable in its self. Those who do quit should not be shamed, put down, or degraded. When this happens, this is only bringing shame upon the Army for being unprofessional, and inconsiderate of others circumstances. I’ve noticed this to be a very big issue with in Alpha company 119. And this behavior among the Amy Leadership is unacceptable. And it should be unacceptable with the Army if it truly believes in its (Army Values). During the sexual harassment investigation of Alpha company 119, I believe it was a lieutenant doing the investigation asked me when it happened. I was honest and told him I was not sure exactly the time and date. He then said he already knew exactly when it all had happened. He then told me about if I was lying about the complaint I had made that their where serious consequences. The fact that he knew exactly when this all had happened indicates that he knew that what I was telling him was true. And he was simply trying to intimidate me to back out of my complaint to protect the two drill sergeants and Alpha company 119 despite their wrong doings. I then later requested a lawyer from my first sergeant Brady. He asked me why I wanted to speak to a lawyer? I then gave him a letter about the mistreatment/Harassment of the non-trainees. He read over the letter and explained to me why things where the way they are. And he justified the mistreatment of the non-trainees. I was troubled that any leader would justify this kind of behavior. I also told him that I wanted to talk to a lawyer about the sexual harassment also. This was so I could know all my rights and options. He then told me that he would contact jag and a lawyer would be provided for me. Within a week Drill Sergeant Amadi came to me showing a paper that I had signed as a non-trainee. The form said “I (my initials) waive consulting counsel and representation by military counsel and /or civilian counsel at no expense to the Government”. Drill Sergeant Amadi explained to me that I had waived my right to a lawyer according to what this form said. However, the form actually means that the government was not required to pay for my lawyer if I asked for one. I believe the drill sergeant and first sergeant new this was the case. But had hoped that I would not realize what rights I had, and had not given up. The first sergeant would have been a part of the investigation. And drill sergeant Amadi’s friends and perhaps herself would have also. I was never given a lawyer. And so, my constitutional right to a lawyer was withheld from me. The investigation of the sexual harassment is over. However, there seemed to be very little consequence for their behavior. Drill Sergeant Guzman and Stewart are still drill sergeants to Alpha company 119 at this moment despite what they did to the entire company of around 180 privates. There was no questioning of the privates on how they felt about the drill sergeants remaining in alpha company 119 despite their inappropriate actions towards the privates. This shows the Army takes little to no consideration of the private’s feelings on the matter. One of the Army’s top priorities should be to preserve the Army’s good name. It is my Sincere desire that this letter will inspire change within the company Alpha 119 at this time, and the future. Laws Broken Total…. 1. Sexual Harassment: I was sexually harassed by two drill sergeants. I was ordered to touch myself along with around 180 other privates. This happened around May 30, 2018. (Happened in blue phase) by Drill Sergeant Stewart and Drill Sergeant Guzman. 2. Harassment: Drill Sergeants have told non-trainers to turn around while the company was in formation. Drill Sergeant Miller said he didn’t want to look at their faces. (Happened in blue phase) 3. Sexual Discrimination: A female private Private Pham was not required to recycle do to a negligent discharge that we both had done on the same day. However, I was required because I was a man. The army requires a percentage of the woman in boot camp to graduate. (Happened in white phase) 4. Intimidation: A lieutenant told me that I would go to jail for a long time for lying about the sexual harassment complaint. He did this despite knowing that I was telling the truth. (Happened in blue phase) 5. Refused to a lawyer: I requested a Lawyer for the sexual harassment and for the treatment of the non-trainees. A lawyer was never provided. Was lied to saying I gave up my rights to a lawyer. (Happened in blue phase) by First Sergeant Brady and Drill Sergeant Amadi. 6. Negligence: The company often went without soap or hand sanitizer during chow time while out training. And was never provided any soap or hand sanitizer when porter potties where being used. This led to many getting sick, and getting pink eye. I’m sorry I don’t know exact dates. I can tell you what phases they happened. This did all happen between May 30, 2018 - July 17,2018. Alpha Company 119, Fort Benning, 198th Brigade

[@papichulo6724]

bruh i wouldn’t take the girl ds serious lol in the beginning

[@krypticstudios8168]

I think the drill sergeants should be able to curse and insult recruits. Feel like military boot camps have gotten softer.

[@Scorpi0nPrince]

Kryptic Studios My guess is cause of the cameras.

[@keithlamar3983]

Dude they give no fucks. It’s just cuz the cameras are there.

[@notoriouspinatas8114]

They can curse, it’s just considered “disrespect” to call a recruit names

[@Jsantii]

I was in fort Jackson in 2018 and they still do curse at you and insult you except when cameras are around

[@42N8_1]

Where is the BBQ grill DS? BBQ is after 1400 PVT.

[@shawndugger4277]

It's not just guard training cause I'm active duty and my buddy's were in the guard

[@alexrobinson5270]

Shawn Dugger guard reserve and active all go to BCT at the same time

[@mythlessrwf]

Bruh I’m just doing this for the benefits for my fam, this shit looks like the funnest place I’ll never want to go to again. (I ship out May 8th 2023)

[@mariocollisionmaker]

How does it go now bro? Thinking about joining for the same reason

[@judicaellecelestin9463]

I am curious what is in the bag

[@andrewfox6631]

I’m ex British army and if I was younger and could , I would of joined the US National Guard if I had a green card.

[@dexy2523]

Ol fort Leonard wood hated that place

[@csmitty1475]

Yes I wanna cry because I gotta piss drill Sgt!!!!

[@HwoarangtheBoomerang]

Lol. I'd fail. Nothing worse than having a mom screech at you when you know you've done nothing wrong. I'm sure I'd be repeatedly punished for smiling at her at every interaction.

[@edwardvaldez4540]

Leaving to boot camp January 31st💪💪💪

[@superpixalgamer9513]

the wonman is crying while shouting lmao

[@mrhyde0331]

[@AmandaKallio-b5b]

Scientifically must sound proactive provocative lmfao

[@arcrius4]

Please tell me that I will not be disrespected, degraded, and belittled by a stranger (drill sergeant) if I choose to serve my contry. Please... If I choose to serve my contry, please tell me that I will be instructed with respect instead of condesending remarks....

[@merked-]

Of course, they will treat you like an absolute king and you will get treats and rewards for doing good, have fun :)

[@curtislitzler4945]

no way on earth would I ever do this. no way

[@grugbug4313]

Solid!

[@leapaclian4594]

Working harder soldier

[@michaelmendoza4164]

Watching this reassures my gut instincts, not for me. I'm more of a do whatever I want kind of person.

[@darthviikrabe2768]

I miss those days.

[@scarface2910]

I couldn't do this because I simply wont be yelled at by a woman like that. I would probably laugh right in her face. Them and the men-ladies are making us look like a joke.

[@matthewhelms3468]

Give me the shark attack!!!

[@BrandonGonzalez-et8ze]

What’s worse national guard training, or air force?

[@riyanagranger1469]

Which one are you considering I'm stuck between air force and national gaurd

[@leroyumbrella6974]

Bro just go active

[@riyanagranger1469]

@@leroyumbrella6974 yup I've decided to go active duty

[@riyanagranger1469]

Well active duty air force but he's correct just go active more pay & more benefits unless you have a civilian jobs or kids you don't want to leave behind then go national gaurd
