Thank you for this info! My son is at FLW now, he arrived last Monday but had to quarantine so he just went to reception on Monday.

[@robertsensano3266]

I was at D 3-10 back in 2017! Id also recommend learning your General Orders, as well as the Soldiers Creed, and Army Song.

[@andrewj.07]

Going to show my daughter this haha. She’s headed there in Feb. Things have changed since I went through Fort Benning 😂

[@Stevedrums741]

My son just arrived there last week. I can't imagine much has changed in the past two years.

[@anythingandeverything1303]

I miss being lost in the woods, fun times..I graduated but from delta 3-10 back in Dec2018

[@ninayoyoyo]

So much information! It’s great! I listened, I truly did, but it was a tad difficult to understand everything with two voices at the same time, but I tried.

[@Ayooalesha]

Sorry

You’re welcome 🤍

[@Teebiskit]

I remember my first night in the barracks when I got there back in 2014. I’m not referring to reception. That’s a joke. The first real night with my company I remember laying down in bed at the end of the first night and saying “wtf did I get myself in to”. Lol it’s really not that bad but it’s def a shock at first. Looking back on it I actually miss it. Best decision I ever made. GATOR CHOMP 🐊. MP’s lead the way

[@Ayooalesha]

Right it is, I said the same thing. You’ll definitely get use to it.

[@marinaish671]

Shipping out in March, thanks for the information!

[@LosYorkApollo]

Lmao wow I went to basic with Grey 💯 I swear she was a robot when demonstrating how to follow commands during the shark attack 🤣 she cool, but she know damn well lost in the woods wasn’t that bad ! Delta 3-10 4 life 💪🏾💯 our 1st Sergent use to tell us we ain’t shit we let it rock and laugh about it later wit the drills 🤣

[@Ayooalesha]

Not a robot 💀😂

[@garrettcoop7524]

Where you able to wear your own boots if you wanted to bring them? By the way great video!

[@Ayooalesha]

No. But just bring them just in case you never know, all companies are different

[@patrickm2191]

My DSs at Fort Leonard Wood disagreed with the "phases" concept and didn't do it. We were "Red Phase" the whole time.

[@Ayooalesha]

I feel like they all do

[@tiarradavis4182]

I’m leaving for Basic in 6 days (but in Ft.Sill) I have dry skin (eczema but just the inflammation not the patches or anything) so when I run sometimes my skin gets red and itchy (I stay moisturized and it helps GREATLY) but do you have any idea what the drill sergeants might do to me? 😬

[@trite7364]

You’ll be fine don’t worry abt it

[@trite7364]

They’ll give you a nickname 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

[@alexsimpson1357]

Getting Shipped off to fort leonardwood on Halloween 🤧

[@Ayooalesha]

Congrats ❤️ but not on Halloween

[@00taehyung_kim40]

Just wondering what bag did you guys held up above your head during shark attack? Duffel bag, laundry bag, etc???

[@Ayooalesha]

A green duffel bag.

[@00taehyung_kim40]

@@Ayooalesha thank you! Also one last question, there’s total of 3 bags? 1 laundry, 2 duffle? One of the duffle is loaded in the car so you just carry 2 bags or all 3?

[@Ayooalesha]

You’re only carry one bag during the shark attack. Your laundry bag will be in one of your duffel bags. And one of your duffel bags will be loaded on a truck that you we get later.

[@prettyangel9959]

What do you recommend I do with hair that’s too short for a bun? It’s about chin length

[@Ayooalesha]

You can cut it in a bob (military cut). Or just get some braids straight back or plaits

[@laurencollins8222]

Sometimes I wish they would let one person come up there and watch the cadets during their basic trainer no videos no nothing they turn their cell phones off because it's better if someone can actually see it cuz I wasn't allowed to go there my dad said no nor could I be a police officer he said girls stay at home they clean house they get married they stay at home clean house do laundry and have babies yeah I did I had three of them three boys I grew up even more when I divorced him and my boys turned out just fine I love them all and now I'm 62 years old and I would love to come up there and just watch our military men and women and see what the military is all about

[@hxidxkcicssk]

Did your showers have stalls in them with curtains?

[@Ayooalesha]

The stalls are on the opposite side of the room.

[@heavenh.7523]

What time did y’all have to wake up everyday? And white time do y’all have to go to bed?

[@kakashi512]

and with the ruck march. Is it timed? or does it need to be completed and you need to keep going at all times as long as you tried?

[@wayneedwards3133]

I’ll be there April 11🤣. Don’t stress it kid. You have a lil under a month to get it together

[@Ayooalesha]
