What Army Recruits Go Through At Boot Camp

Here's an inside look at the United States Army's intense 22-week basic training known as OSUT, which stands for One Station Unit Training. Senior Video Correspondent Graham Flanagan spent four days at the Army's Maneuver Center of Excellence located inside the Fort Benning military installation near Columbus, Georgia, where he observed different companies at various stages of training.
After a processing period that takes one to two weeks, recruits experience what's known as a "shark attack," when drill sergeants create a high-stress environment through a series of rapid-fire instructions and commands. Once the intensity subsides and training begins, the dynamic between the drill sergeants and the recruits evolves into one found between a teacher and students in a classroom.
Despite rainy conditions that rarely let up during filming, we saw various dynamic aspects of training, such as marksmanship, tear gas exposure, and MOUT, which stands for military operations in urban terrain.
In the video, we incorrectly refer to duffle bags as rucksacks. Insider regrets the error.

Getting that globe is the only time you ever become a man, and for the women, becoming a wookie. (if you know what i mean). Most days, I think back to the days just before i left my sweet marine home away from home, and shed a single manly tear that I didn't give a leg or two for israel. The thoughts hurt worse when I wake up for my job at subway and think i won't be getting yelled at by a pay-grade higher than me. The only remainder i have left of the marines is my heterosexual boyfriend who uses me as a personal NBC glove full of sticky MRE applesauce on lonely nights - not gonna leave a bro hanging! Anyways, I couldn't help but notice that a fellow marine like yourself has a VERY manly profile picture of a John Deere™️ logo and I'll tell you that even through my computer i would death grip your thick firing hand and give it a firm shake. I myself would use such a masculine picture or maybe a Ford™️ logo to not regret my purchase on an F-150.

I finished basic 6 months ago, went through airborne, and now it’s so funny to watch these videos. It seems so bad while you’re there, tons of people are homesick, anxious etc; then you get out and it’s almost a fond memory. Life is so simple while you’re there. They tell you when you eat, what to wear, what to eat, and where to be. Almost like being a child again...in a very screwed up way.

[@sparklinginnovia8425]

Is boot camp hard when you're there?

[@mouthwash8182]

@@blackarchangel6923 Nothing you do at boot camp is “hard”. A monkey could successfully do 98% of what they ask of you. It’s a lot of small stressors that can add up to overwhelm you. You’ll probably feel a bit homesick and disconnected; but you’ll make friends in basic and start having fun at week 2-3. Reception is honestly the worst part.
