What Army Recruits Go Through At Boot Camp
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มี.ค. 2020
- 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.

That would be Drill Sergeant.

Once a year, my brain is legally required to remember this video exists and I have to comeback and binge watch military recruitment videos
Stop calling me out lol
Same, but it's an unachievable dream for me since i'm a foreigner....
How'd you know what I've done these past years
Why, you serve?
The guy at 6:36 was my Drill Sergeant. Yeah they're rough with you but it's mainly just a tough act to weed out the people who can't handle intense situations. He was actually a really chill Drill Sergeant towards the end of me completing Boot Camp.
He was my cousin's Drill Sergeant, me and my family were on base a few days before graduation, my cousin talked him into yelling at me, he scared the shit out of me, I was just sitting there talking to my sister, next thing I now he's yelling and my family starts laughing. The few that I met were really nice
America and its allies lost 30,000 soldiers in Iraq and 110,000 wounded, in addition to 30,000 American soldiers who committed suicide, 60,000 homeless without a job, and thousands of psychological patients
That's rough to you? Jesus should try the British army
Are recruits given a heads-up or at least have an idea that it's just them doing their job most of the time?

drill sergeant: acting intimidating to scare recruits
recruit: 🗿
USMC DI’s didn’t act intimidating like these guys. They genuinely were.
@@dylanwatson270 our infantry Drill Sergeants could be intimidating, but yeah, all the other ones were just acting. Some of them were just downright silly
Yo --angelo-- drill sergeant
@@dylanwatson270 Ikr dude, these squiddies ain't got nothin' on muhreens 'oo'rah! We real cross-stick boys out there doing the gruntest of man's work, all other branches are just daycare for boys. Just thinking of being back in the shit gets me a raging hard on, especially when it involves spent casings and the smell of taxpayer funded 62 grain freedom pellets leaving the shaft of a long barrel. 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. But, honestly, this is my husband's boyfriend's account and he would take away my favorite flavored crayons and coloring book if i did that.
Anyhow, I wish you the best, and screw army! Simper Fi!

@Blues ! because discrimination is bad unless your a feminist, which gives you license to hate on men to your hearts content (*sarcasm*)
It's crazy seeing this I joined infantry around 14 years ago was a mortar man 11C. I felt more comfortable in basic and AIT than I did at my first duty station.
😂Thts fcked up
That’s because when you go through training, everyone is at the same level as you. When you join your battalion, you’re the new guy.
That's not the solution! The solution is to make the immigrants who are given a free ticket into the USA, serve in the US forces to earn their free ticket and prove they believe in our freedom. I served in the US Army putting my life on the line for my fellow Americans, not for immigrants bringing in their one track backwards thinking. Don't care where they come from! Serve! then they can enjoy the fruits of our country.
@@benjenkins5949 wouldn't that cause more a chance to be infiltrated by other countries?

As a former South Korean Army I didn't afraid of shouting man. I only worried about the one who kicking me on the chest all of a sudden. I left Army decades ago but still feel the throbbing sensation in a rainy day.
Why would they kick you in the chest suddenly and how (did they tell you to get on the ground to be kicked)? Were you in trouble? I heard some drill instructors could get in trouble for being too physical since injuries could happen.
Wth is going on in the South Korean military?

Thank you to my fellow brothers and sisters in the army serving at the front lines. I served in the USAF from 2013-2019. I was deployed to fight Islamic state of Iran and Syria. Thankfully I wasn’t in harms way really because I was a f15 mechanic on an airforce base far enough away from the mortars and bullets. My fellow servicemen and women serving on the front lines have my utmost respect and gratitude🫡 🇺🇸

Honestly lol
@Baiel Asan well when in war areas or if they have to encounter a shooting, a tall person could be too big to hide behind some cover. Like their head or back could be showing and could get shot
I LAUGHED
@Baiel Asan So NOT a recruiter, not jealous either tall folk stand out more. He probably was looking around or something while in formation.
I don’t think they are practicing social distancing...

All those sexual assault warnings seemed to not be relevant during "combatives/dominate body positioning training". Everyone gets sick at some point, to be sure. Lot'a mouths in faces.
OSUT is an option, not a requirement.
MANY people especially teens tend to go through the DEP (delayed entry program) which you go through basic training between jr and sr year in high school and then go through AIT after graduation. OSUT is basically basic training and AIT in the same place. ONLY available for the HUGE Army jobs like infantry and field artillery.
Can someone explain what DEP is and how to do it?
@@BowloPudding Delayed entry program, its just as it sounds, your entry is delayed. You sign up like I did my sophomore year of high school, the summer of my junior year I went to basic, and then the next summer I went to AIT. The time between I went to drill like everyone else in my reserve unit. Active duty can do the same thing just no drill between. Instead of going straight to boot camp and then AIT.
@@chriskeen7174 thanks
@@BowloPudding No problem
I was at fort benning right after it was renamed to fort Moore. When it was time to go to official basic from reception, I had been in reception for exactly one month, as I had originally been at fort Jackson. It’s a really long story, but after a month in reception, I was physically but more so mentally done. It’s not something I can say I’m proud of, but I’ll probably be happy that I didn’t get on that bus for the rest of my life.

The American army: For my student loans!
Noahser You don’t even understand how funny/true this is for me😭😭😭
Imagine someone making fun of others that work to better themselves, instead of expecting things to be given to them for free.
@@jasonbisdead in pretty sure he or she iz making fun of the student loan crisis in our country and not necessarily the men and women who enlist
@@TheRbetoV hes saying that joining the military as an option to pay loans is not necessarily a bad thing.
They shouldnt have asked for a loan if they couldnt pay it back. Atleast the government is giving them a way to pay for it instead of letting them live in debt forever.
Point is, dont ask for student loans. Ever.
:(
America: We gas our troops in the first week of training.
Germany: Nice
😂
Only at Benning. At Fort Jackson it's a few weeks in.
They dont hold a candle to germany germany gases their civilians just to give them immunity and in germany they call the immunity death
Big oof
Oh I get it
Towards the middle of last year I'd considered enlisting to find some purpose/motivation. Gratefully something appeared at the 11th hour and I'm glad it did, looks like a rough time just getting built up at boot camp
God bless these brave souls and I wish them the best
If you ever do reconsider and decide to enlist, trust me, it’s not that bad. You get used to it really quick and a lot of the team building exercises are actually quite enjoyable experiences. Often you’ll make friends that will last a lifetime. Just start running everyday and exercising regularly during the weeks prior to joining and you shouldn’t have a problem.
Why God has to bless these terrorists in uniform? or Did you mean your american god biden?
Man watching this brings back memories of basic, it was definitely an experience I recommend anyone take if given the chance
It’s nothing compared to the training of a sith.

ohhh shit
Adobong Sinigang yes
oh Jesus
NO TAMATO NO TAMATO
I always wanted to join but life got in the way till I made it happen.
Found myself running around Fort Knox Basic one year. I was 34 years old.
Basic was EPIC!! The whole break you down build you up didn't work on the hand full of 30 somethings in my unit. Watching 18 to 20 year olds become absolutely unhinged while being yelled at, smoked and given impossible tasks where no matter what someone will fail and everyone pushes. Us old guys had been married before. This isn't yelling. Let me tell you about yelling...... I found basic to be extremely easy following just one rule.
Do whatever the guy in the hat says and do it like it's the best thing you have ever done and do it at 110%. They sorta left us alone a few weeks in. Everyone took command at some point and you lost it when you made a mistake which was 100% going to happen so everyone would have a turn up front. Usually you got a day or two. We got 2hrs. We went to basic after EXHAUSTIVE research and practice before we went to basic so we knew what we were doing. So command came and went in hours instead of days for us 30 somethings.
We also NEVER failed to raise a hand before any DI got to teer when they said "we need a few volunteers." We became invisible to them in week 5 even if we were the only ones with our hands up. LOL Trust me. DO THE SAME THING. Did the same thing in AIT and once I got to load and fire a Dillon minigun that was being tested after volunteering for a task which ended up being go through these belts of ammon and take out the tracers and replace them will ball. Three days of that. (Holdunder at AIT waiting for a class) The surprise was being able to fire the gun so like I said. Put your hand up for everything. It will pay off.
I can't recommend experiencing basic, AIT and deploying enough. Those experiences dominate my "what the hell did I get myself into" memories and all of them are pretty damn good ones. Oh it's going to absolutely SSSUUUCCCKKK at times but so worth it!!
Only meant to spend a few years after putting my IT career on hold to serve. I stayed for 12 years. Army Aviation power turbine ending repairer working on UH-60s.
Now I have my GI BIll, VA loan, Access to USAA and medical.
It is SOOOOOOOO worth your time to jump in right after HS. I wish I did. Just 2 or 3 years then bail but the longer you stay the more your GI-Bill covers. Do it right and you could make money without working while going to school on the GI-Bill after you serve.
The only rule you need to follow to make it through basic is like I said.
Do whatever the guy in the hat says and do it like you love it and do it at 110%.
You WILL fail from time to time. Be it your fault or an impossible task that you can't pass.
Roll with it. Those 10 weeks fly by. AIT is another world after the first month. Deploying is insane. My first deployment was to Iraq. Oh it sucked but the tales I have from it are EPIC.
It's no joke from start to finish though. Shit CAN go sideways. I took a bullet. That's about as real as real gets in the military. Even that is a fun story now.
I guarantee you will come out a better person with a new outlook on life. Like.
Working on deployments 16 hour days for 2 months with no days off then switching to 12 hours 6 days a week. Coming back to a 8hr 5 day work week is NOTHING. To this day 8 hours is nothing to me. I STILL feel like I don't have enough hours to get what I want done at work. LOL
You will become a MASTER at hurry up and wait. The lines. OMG the lines. Nobody said there would be this many lines in the military. There's a line for the line most of the time.
After the military and you come across a sign that says 3 hour wait from this point you say HURRY UP and get in. It's only 3 hours from here!!!! No joke. You WILL feel like that.
The morals, values and ethics you learn will serve you well.
If you are on the fence jump off and go! Some MOS are only 2 year commitments. 2 to 6 years I think is the min range. Depends on your MOS. 2 Years is NOTHING. POOF. Done. Holy crap where did the time go? GO!!!!!! You won't regret it....... Much........ LOL
Please I’m interested in the army but no one to assist me

I went through US Army BCT at Ft. Jackson SC 1976. This brings back a lot of memories.
I love watching these type of videos, because I always wanted to be in the army or military, I know it's really tough, but at the same time it shows you how capable you are and how good you are as working as a team and following instructions, so it's something that I have always wished to be, the problem that I have its that I have alot of complications in my body, that make me unable to serve as a military woman and help others and the country indeed. What I basically do is I have an army uniform that I bought and I put it on, to honor all the ones that are in the army or military working and serving around the world, and those who aren't here anymore, but died as a hero, that will never be forgotten..
“If you look around they’re gonna see you, BECAUSE YOU’RE TALLER, THAN EVERYONE ELSE!” Naaaaah lmfao, I would have laughed too much at that honestly
boot camp is the funniest place you arent allowed to laugh
well movement easy to notice and for someone tall its even easier
I've heard worse from my old DS back in the day. I was bobbing my head while saying the Soldiers creed and my DS walked up to me and screamed "stop bobbing your head, you look like your sucking a dick!" I never wanted to laugh harder in my life.

Just finished basic training at fort Jackson a few weeks ago, funny that I’m looking back at it now
This awesome! I have loved every bit of this video. Being with an army band, one needs to represent it. I wonder whether one time I can serve that continent as one of the military officers..
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.
"Almost being a child again, in a screwed up way" 😂😂😂😂
Sounds interesting though, and I'm sure going through something like this would be great for your discipline. Kind of wish I could do it.
Is boot camp hard when you're there?
@@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.

Drill Sergeant: how tall are you private
Me: 6'3"
Drill Sergeant: take this guidon and carry it with you everywhere you go except the latreen.
Me after having to wait for someone to finish eating so they can hold it for me and having to put it inside my sleeping bag with me so it won't get stolen again: this fking sucks
I was dying laughing
I salute you drill sergeant my respect to you sir❤❤❤
the barber has been cutting one hair style during his whole career..lol..
I've always wanted to work at one of them basic training facilities one day 😂 it would be fun I'd think
Not even a hairstyle, more like a headstyle 😂
It's a really popular cut around those parts 👀.
Latin american barbers: noobs lol
@@nickkyri6143 it’s crazy to think how many dead men had the haircut by this guy
US: You can enlist to die for your country at the age of 17.
Also the US: Sorry bud, you need to be at least 21 if you want to grab that beer.
My Dad joined the Canadian Forces Navy as a Marine Engineer when he was in his late teens, back in the early 1970s.
He was forced to retire in the mid 1990s as a result of a back injury while on duty.
My younger brother was also in the Royal Canadian Army Cadets when he was a teenager. He was thinking about enlisting in the Canadian Army, but was unable to do so due to Asthma and Ear problem.
That’s easily because your age doesn’t mean you’ve got the fully developed mental capacity of an adult.
16 year olds can have sex and get pregnant so they must be adults too I guess?
To die and to KILL*, but not enough to drink a beer.
Kind of an interesting thing. I worked for the Department of Defense, when you're in the army, and as long as you're 18, you're able to buy/drink alcohol on military bases overseas.
pure BS
I am proud of all recruits and The Drill Instructors and I am proud of all Service Personal , Brass and Non Coms -+#
Been in for over a year now and I still remember that short bus ride from reception to basic felt like at least an hour😂 fun times hooah
“If you look around they’re gonna see you....CAUSE YOURE TALLER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!!” 😂😂😂

"Enjoy" is a word I would use very loosely around MREs.
Some of em are good some are shit

I’m in the military and I’m happy our drill sergent was rough. It made me stronger. I love my country to the point that it’s my soul and duty to serve it. It gave me freedom and I’m using it to defend it against any and all threats. USA is my blood. I’ll be happy to have a drill sergent that wreck me to the point of breaking with building me to the point of honor.
God bless Israel
Something interesting is those initial recruits were part of 1-81 armor. My AIT as a 91M what is part of 1-81 armor battalion, which is the only AIT in the entire base. I recognize those buildings from a mile away.

Great advices: 1.) avoid creating unwanted attention. 2.) observe everything around. 3.) be a team player. 4.) Don't quit / Never give up.
5.) "Advice" is uncountable.
@@dirtyoldmano6) don't be boring like you
Also don’t take drill Sargent yelling personally
Now you can take it personally and get your DI disciplined for impacting your PTSD
7). Repeat all advices
I work for an IT company and this type of treatment is way better than what we r put through in projects
It's really all in my mind.I was excited to see me in to military❤
If a Spartan saw this, I'm sure he would say,
"Aww, reminds me when I was only 11 years old."

Just to clarify: for the army it’s called basic training, for the marine Corp it would be called boot camp.
Yes
rah devil doggoz
It’s called Recruit Training (RT) in the USMC if I’m not mistaken.
@@xshima5001 you are mistaken
Huh...
I can say in the Army we were well fed! Not much time to eat, but well fed! You learned how to make all kinds of sandwiches to wolf it down fast!
Army basic. The most fun you never want to have again.

it is easy. just go there physically and mentally ready then it'll be a breeze. if anything it's just annoying being punished for lazy people's mistakes.

Army: We yell at them at first, but then we chill out after a while.
Marines: *THE DAY YOU GRADUATE IS THE DAY YOU'LL STOP HEARING ME SCREAM!*
Not really. During the Crucible you were treated a bit like a Marine. But still you can't call them by rank.
Army want soliders
Marines want killers

My brother and I plan to be special forces when we're able.
To be honest, I don't know which will finish.
Amazing documentary.😀
I personally had a blast in basic training
My mom did boot camp and she said once that she laughed while the Sergeant was yelling at her and she did 300 push-ups lol (she was in high school and got to take a break in her ‘high school career’ to do basic training camp)
Edit: because this is getting so much attention, here’s another story: my grandpa was a marine a while back and he said one time that this guy in his group did something disrespectful to one of the drill sergeants and they made him hold a AK-47 over his head for the entire night and he said the guy looked like he was going to pass out (they go to bed sorta late and wake up before dawn so it wasn’t *that* long but it was at least a few hours)
Don’t worry I know she told me in the bed

Long hair is a weak point on the battle field
Went to Basic at Ft Benning at Bravo 2 47, I remember sitting at Jay’s booth cutting my hair, I was the lucky few who was “invisible” from time to time but I loved every bit of it. We had a few COD gamer nerds who’s bodies were either shaped like marshmallows or toothpicks and thought it would be easy. 6 had quit before getting on that bus. Every day I questioned myself “Wtf am I doing?!” But being a stupid 17 year old, leaving my parents house for the first time, and was smoking pot and drinking, Basic straighten my life up and I loved every bit of it. The field training, the obstacle courses, and the days at the range. If you get stationed here believe me it’s a hellish blessing but you’ll feel good you made it through.
I can't believe Shorts is still there he did my hair....great man came to my graduation ceremony
This man has been shaving hairs for generations
I smell cap around this place
@Saifullah. Q & @* , This man could easily be telling the truth, plenty of Americans go to fort benning to get trained, my friend's father trained Lieutenants there, so it would be very likely that they would get their hair cut by shorts
Thank you for your service
@Badabababa nope.
I love how the one guy got yelled at for being taller than everyone else🤣
