Yes pls give all the info you can about basic training i want to go in as prepared as i can be. I dont care to be ahead i just want to make sure im not holding others and myself back.
hopefully you've also been researching how to eat superfast (especially for reception where you're only allowed five minutes to eat), how to shower superfast (at least during my first week of basic, we were only allowed just 60 seconds max to shower. we were allowed more time later on but still only a few minutes at longest), and how to stand still for a really long time (in reception especially you will be in formations lasting several hours at a time, even at night when you're done processing for the day, not only for "hurry up and wait" but also for mindgames)
How was it at MEPS lol I go next Friday I just have to take the ASVAB which I’m nervous I haven’t studied any of that stuff since high school in 2017 and have very limited time I mainly struggle with the math parts
You must have done basic at Fort Jackson. Our drill sergeant didn’t let us use our sleep system. And one of the drill sergeants would come in right before lights out and make us mess our bed up so we would have to make it in the morning.
You’re probs doing POG Basic going to Sill, it’s gonna be super chill. First few days will suck but just remember it’s not Infantry it’s just regular conventional Army so it’s not like crazy. Just do as they say and keep your head down
I went to my state challenge academy which is basically a military school and what we did was turn up the heat and just sleep on top of everything i just recently turned 18 and I'm planning on joining the army
My bed was always made when I slept I made sure to keep the sheets N itchy quilt shit tucked order the mattress as much as I could saved me some time in the am fosho
My father (Vietnam vet ) told me to keep "two - of everything the drill looks for during inspection. Put everything where it needs to go for inspection- and then put the most used items in your second pair of boots. I know this because my drill through my locker out of the second story window when he seen a brush not in the proper spot"

@@SeattleHeights 10 weeks of turning you into a soldier. Honestly its to break down your emotional state of mind. Then also to teach you the basics of combat and army customs and values. As of rn i am at fort sam training to be a 68w combat medic, and its hard af. Been here since February 23 and i am like 6 weeks from graduating. Im ready to go home brutha
I don’t know what Basic Training you went to but we got smoked for people tying their beds underneath. Our sleeping systems were not immediately issued to us. Once you get used to making the hospital corners it’s a breeze. Stop cutting corners and do it right
Nah man, I’m just a guy who was in the Army and tries to make videos that will possibly help others who are looking to join. I could personally care less is people join or not, but if they choose to do so then maybe these vids will help them out!
This is a secret I showed while I went to basic in 2007 lol glad to know it still being used. I’d love to know who used that trick first and passed it on lol
I'm just being honest bro, veteran to veteran...I don't know a single person who'd want to enlist in today's military. I'm sure there's a very small percentage, but have you been keeping up at all with what's going on inside of today's government/military? Not looking too hot. Just being 100% real and honest. I love your channel and what you do.
Hell man, I wouldn’t join again that’s for sure. These vids are just to help those individuals who do choose to join, sometimes it may be the only option for them or a dream they’ve had since they were young, regardless of what’s going on in the world there are always going to be some who still want to join, and I hope these vids can help make their time in a little easier if anything! I appreciate you commenting brotha!
@@TheBenAllen. I never wanted to join but now I’m about to finish high school and I’m been doing a lot of research I just hope before I get to basic training I have some type of prior knowledge so I can be apart of a Cbrn unit 🫡 maybe no one wants to join but I’m sure we have it easy and I’ll hate to be the one to complain about everything
Not in my basic training we had to have are lockers a certain way in sop couldn’t just throw things into your locker but you could definitely still use the sleeping bag just put it into the Ruck and we weren’t even aloud to have boot blouses they only let us buy certain things in the px they checked are bags after we were done
You will be provided with everything you need at your basic training location. Once you get to your permanent duty station, take advantage of every educational opportunity you can, military and civilian. Always get copies of your personnel file (keep every document) and medical records.

I slept ontop of my sheets and everything and just wore my sweats easy for am to clean up and took turns goin to the head to wash face and brush teeth saves time and clutter in the bathroom for everyone navy vet 5 years so bit different from army bootcamp
not 68C myself but know students in that mos that I had to stand in formations with. phase 2 is superlong and you get a lot of immature kids who would have gotten everyone smoked had they been in phase 1 or basic. of course it will be hard because it's superfast paced and quite a few people fail phase 2 if they don't fail phase 1.
why not? i knew a soldier who before he got out the army he said he wanted to transition to being a woman. He literally started wearing lipstick when in civilian clothing and actually started wearing bras and shirts that were see through so you could actually see that he was wearing bras. i'm not making that up.
What other tips or tricks have you all learned to make the Army easier for yourselves? 🤔
If you shower in the am to get ready, I used to shower before my fireguard shift.
Yes pls give all the info you can about basic training i want to go in as prepared as i can be. I dont care to be ahead i just want to make sure im not holding others and myself back.

I agree, another veteran here, PTSD, insomnia, anxiety, the military is still a nightmare in my life!
How you mean exactly?
Old thoughts for new times
Please, I didn't really get the bed stuff. Can you please do a video showing us how you did it?
Thank you
Could you show how you rigged it up to the bedsheet

Do they give you the sleeping bag at boot camp or should I bring my own? Shipping out in 2 weeks.

Im shipping out next month 23rd to fort Sill. Wish me luck!
Question: is fort sill better or fort jackson?
I went to sill and it wasn’t that bad
I was at jackson myself but know a lot of people who went to sill during different times of the year and talked about how windy it was, or how hot or cold it was. You might be able to deal with cold windy weather or hot weather, but keep in mind in the military especially the army and during tradoc you'l be standing and standing and standing around in formations in this weather nevermind doing outdoor training and exercising in it.
military and army basic training is basic training so i don't know what you would mean by 'better"
@@golfery5119 i was talking about the weather. Your explanation helps bro. Thanks!
I was wondering if it gets hotter than jackson or not
Fort Sill is under investigation. Something about neglectful drill sergeants and trainee's medical problems
I slept ontop of my sheets and everything and just wore my sweats easy for am to clean up and took turns goin to the head to wash face and brush teeth saves time and clutter in the bathroom for everyone navy vet 5 years so bit different from army bootcamp
Can you bring your own sleeping bag and pillows
Nope they give you everything you need in basic training
I ship out literally in two days, good timing
Best of luck!
Do you have any info to share about 68C?
not 68C myself but know students in that mos that I had to stand in formations with. phase 2 is superlong and you get a lot of immature kids who would have gotten everyone smoked had they been in phase 1 or basic. of course it will be hard because it's superfast paced and quite a few people fail phase 2 if they don't fail phase 1.
how long did y’all wait to take the drug test?
50 plus days and still waiting i should be ready this week hopefully
Lol.
68w rocks , however I am so disappointed in my military in about a year's time they're all going to be wearing wigs and makeup
why not? i knew a soldier who before he got out the army he said he wanted to transition to being a woman. He literally started wearing lipstick when in civilian clothing and actually started wearing bras and shirts that were see through so you could actually see that he was wearing bras. i'm not making that up.
