[@christopherwelch5568]

Went through Army Basic Training at FT. Jackson in '92. I can't believe how different it looks from when I was there. Coed training, pull ups etc. The PT uniform was grey sweats and shirts. I could run a 7 minute mile by graduation day.

[@grahampolk9046]

I enlisted in the US Army on Sep. 11, 1940 at Fort Jackson was in Company L, 13th infantry, 8th division. We saw much action in the European Theater in WWII I was born in 1921.

[@tewksburydriver8624]

[@jieddo1]

They letting them run on a paved track? They made me run on a clay dirt track because they said it adds a minute to the required run time lol.

[@miketate8554]

Jieddo was that in benning?

[@Richard-lu8ck]

I ran on a paved track in 1985. Any runner, or other athlete will tell you it adds nothing, so shovel the hardass act somewhere else hero.

[@michaelluna785]

I hear good old First Sergeant Ruiz. He was intense but funny as shit sometimes. *2-13 E Co*

[@andyrips834]

That’s one thing that made me scratch my head about basic how we didn’t do a single pull up at basic. Think it should be a must.

[@macburger5026]

AndyRips How long ago were you there? I went to Jackson in late 2017, we did do ten pullups every once in a while during the "climbing drill" and some of the trainees who had airborne contracts did do some pullups once in a while before we entered the dfac. But I was surprised to see that the Army in the modern day, doesn't do many pullups not only in BCT but beyond.

[@jackholbrough3963]

Has anyone heard of the film hacksaw ridge If you have private Desmond dos trained here and saved 75 people in WW2 He also refused to touch a gun

[@tiaw8026]

Jack Holbrough i loved that movie, inspirational af

[@trinidydae]

That’s so funny, that’s my favorite movie and I just watched it like 20 minutes ago lol!

[@richardlalegend6738]

For how many months the physical training

[@napoleonwhitehorse971]

2:09 reminds me of so much BCT!! Especially when this one guy name Dunken instead of saying “Use the pads, Drill Sergeant”. He actually kept saying “Use the pads, Mother-effer! Use the pads!”. 😆

[@NINJUNK00]

I don’t miss any of this

[@bharrisnicholas]

I'll be here in November 2019

[@user-lz6pf5ol7h]

Damn, I'm glad they never made us conduct PRT in our OCP's

[@TheComoletti]

I did only when we were out on our Field training exercises. I was absolutely pissed when I realized that we were doing fucking pt right after waking and getting out of our hastys with only 30 minites of sleep. God I hope I won't ever have to wear soaking wet dirty ocp's like that again.

[@user-lz6pf5ol7h]

By the end of the 10 mile ruck march after the 4 night FTX I was so drenched in sweat that you could almost squeeze my OCP's and see the sweat come out. I smelled like death. My feet were blistered as hell and my ass was chafing bad. I could barely walk because my ass and my feet were killing me. It took me a week to recover from that FTX.

[@Justin-dy2ib]

Pvt’s pissed off their DS. Must’ve really fracked up to have to wear that uniform to conduct PT in.

[@NgJackal1990]

Why do pt in ocp?

[@toddgilmore118]

served Fort Jackson back in '94 and it was non of this training back then! I never did any pull ups on bars, or bad women mixed in with men...

[@edhunter5238]

Did my basic there in the 80's. Unrecognizable to what I'm watching here. The co-ed thing I don't get. Everybody trains and tests together but have different requirements? Some things the females were good at like sit up, but running and carrying a load much different.

[@spawnandbatman6975]

I really need to work on pull-ups. I was doing 18 in college. That was about 6 years ago. Now I can barely do one. I'm pretty worried for basic training.

[@Thebryanbyrnes]

Spawn and Batman they aren't a graded excersise in basic. They just make you do it. Your graded for running 3 mile, pushups and sit ups. So I wouldn't worry about pull ups. You'll get it in basic. But in the meantime, go do the pt test everyday and do the assisted pull up machine at the gym

[@spawnandbatman6975]

TheBryanByrnes wait running 3 mile? I thought it was 2 did they change it?

[@Thebryanbyrnes]

No your right sorry i meant 2 miles. And then push ups and sit ups. So just go practice that everyday and youll be solid. Really its not hard. Just dont give up on yourself.

[@teijahbates8021]

Most of this stuff I was doing at a young age but I'ma have to retrain cause I let my body go but this slight work the only problem I might have is getting yelled at

[@dstorm7752]

How many pullups and pushups can the average gal there do? How much extra credit are women given to pass PT?

[@Justin-dy2ib]

Pull ups are not in the APFT. These prt drills (climbing drills) are meant to help build upper body and core strength to get these privates in shape and able to pass the APFT. These and 4 for the core are great PRT drills.

Defender if you're that worried about it then contact a commander and have them report the posts. There's a .01% chance the posts would be reported to youtube and deleted and a 99.99% chance that whoever got the report would laugh themselves into a coma over the stupidity of someone whining about people posting ship dates on youtube.
