Your first day in the military, whether male or female, any branch of service, is a day you won't forget. The process shown in this video seems a lot quieter than my in-processing. All I remember was getting yelled at constantly.

It depends on the branch too. The Army is far more relaxed than the Marine Corps, not just for basic, but atmosphere overall.

[@felixmadison5736]

@@pierreaston7709 Maybe it is now but it sure as hell wasn't in 1968 during the Vietnam War. I can speak from experience about that because my son-in-law was a marine at the time of the Afghanistan War. When I told him what I went through in army basic in 1968 at Fort Dix, he told me the marine corp. drill instructors weren't allowed to hit anyone of the basic trainees when he was in the marines.

This must not be like Normal for you Army types. ( Marine here ) I know Marine Corps Bootcamp at MCRD Parris Island, our 1st day began at 0200 stepping on the little yellow footprints, and being yelled at by everyone from the Marine CPL at the Airport in Charleston, to the Bus driver who took us to P.I. P.I. is like being on another planet, a hostile planet with people who seem to hate your guts and you annoy them greatly. You spend the next 3 months being told what, when, where, and how, sunup to sundown, and you do not deviate from that until you graduate. There are no "easy nice" days. I am not trying to "outdo" the Army here, Just telling it like it was for us in 1981 at Parris Island. we adapted, just as you do to it. It is weird coming from the civilian world as a 17yr old, into that world. when you graduate, you are a different animal than what got off that bus. Kids today need that culture shock, just as we did. You think you have a fine bead on things at that age, but find out quick, you don't know nothing. Glad to see young people still joining. The Nation needs them. Semper Fi.

[@pep590]

It was that way for the Army also in 1981 like you had it. All hell breaking loose on day 1. Now the services added an extra week at Basic for only in processing.

This has changed greatly since I went through Basic, and no, this is not some story about "When I went through boot camp they killed us, and set us on fire on day one and it only got worse after that!" Basic Training back then was getting there at midnight, lots of yelling, pushing, more yelling, threats, everything you did was incorrect so more yelling and then go to sleep now! 5 minutes later, get up to more yelling and breakfast. The yelling only lasted a few months and it got easier after that as long as you didn't mess up. I hope the new Army is preparing these kids for what we experienced in combat. I don't give a fuck about hurting their feelings if that means they can survive combat and all the shit that goes with it. That's what is more important. They signed up to protect their country. This nation would not be doing them a service if it didn't fully prepare them for that, because prepared Soldiers are more likely to survive. Unprepared Soldiers come home in a box.

Yes, special basics for those that can't meet the weight standards for the ARMY.
