it was way worse than this and I just went through in july. They act way softer in front of cameras

[@williamtisdale8686]

I went to Fort Benning 09/1988 to 12/1988 Echo Company 3/32 had some of the hardest drills in the company. Will never forget it. These drills were soft compared to what I had.

This brings back memories.

[@dbcooper692]

I father was drafted into the Army in 1942. He spent three years in the South Pacific fighting the Japanese. He was a Sargent after one year and was asked to be an officer but he declined. I was born in 1953 and was eligible for the draft during the Viet Nam war. I told my parents I was going to join the Army when I turned eighteen. Both my parents discouraged me from doing so. They said to let them draft you. I never got drafted because of a high lottery number. To this day I feel like I et my country down. I would like to thank all who have served!!!

[@infantryricky6807]

When I went through basic at Ft Benning, I kept expecting it to be like "Full Metal Jacket," but it never lived up to those expectations, so it was easy. Some kids couldn't handle it, though & they were the ones who quit, becoming "Sick Call Rangers."

[@BigStank]

I don't know what it's like now because I did this 8 years ago, but this still seems sooooo tame. Probably because of the cameras. I remember drill sergeants knocking people's bags out of their hands and throwing them as far as they could. Along with swiping PCs every chance they got.

[@callmefryer1294]

Definitely because of the cameras

[@Brandon-vy6uw]

Guys have fun with the Drill SSG's. Its not as bad as you think. Think of it as being on the football field with your coach screaming at you. Except its all the time :)

[@prodigalsun1069]

I know the experience is different for every generation... I don't know any of them, but I love these soldiers.. they are our Army, and put on the uniform for this country. I respect that for any man or woman, and all branches.

[@trishyboykin2762]

Husbands there right now, I hope he's doing okay

[@GuitarDudeBoii]

The first few times we went to the chow hall it was like shark attack all over again. We had literally 60 seconds to sit down and eat before you had to get back up. I remember the person across from me puked on his plate, and when we had to stack and unstack our plates like 10x that shit got everywhere and on everyone. This was summer 2017

[@jpguthrie6669]

I went through basic training at Fort McClellan, where the drill sergeants and Army were more old-school. I eventually made it to Bending for Airborne and Ranger school. I could handle jump school easily enough, but RIP was something else. If these kids think basic is tough, the worst 7 days in basic combined are what you can expect in a single day in RIP.

[@dr.clawmadmusicproducer]

[@sky.172]

Funny contrast with the blowgun next to the missile launcher at 3:42

[@troyadamson8618]

I remember in basic, our drill Sargent told us to, "bend over and grab ahold of your shoulders and yank as hard as you can, and when you hear a loud pop, you'll know that you just pulled your head out of fucking ass". He screamed the last part.

If you dont want to be active duty and stay home in your home state join the guard it might help with your parents worry of leaving them to go to some base and work on it. Also you have to score good on the ASVAB for the job you want and sometimes they cant get you into that job.. if they cant dont feel obligated to join anyways you dont have to.

JROTC helps out a lot with marching, rank structure, army values, the soldiers creed. Memorize all of those things as it will give you a heads up above the other guys. Although, when they mess up you will all still do push ups lol just make sure you don't mess up so everyone else doesn't have to do push ups for your failure.

[@alterscene8091]

Be that as it may, red phase is based around teamwork. Breaking you down and building you up. If one fails or fucks something up, you all push. Don't mention being in ROTC though or else you'll most likely become the guide on carrier on ruck marches and such.. I mean unless you really just want to carry it then go for it lol.

Unfortunately from what I understand Harmony Hill is no longer. Went through there in 1986. The drills and training was far more brutal than the "Starships" barracks and training elsewhere at Sand Hill.. No worries, it did me good. "Break the civilian right out of them". For sure. To make an Infantryman, you got to make an animal. My 1st Sgt told me once "we got to treat them like dogs and feed them 3 times a day". For sure. That's what makes an infatnryman.
