- U.S. Army Basic Combat Training | U.S. Army Boot Camp
United States Army Basic Combat Training (BCT) is the recruit training program of the United States Army, for service in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve, or the Army National Guard. Basic Training is designed to be highly intense and challenging. The challenge comes as much from the difficulty of physical training as it does from the psychological adjustment to an unfamiliar way of life.
Drill sergeants are the instructors responsible for most of the recruit training that takes place during Basic Combat Training. They accompany recruits throughout the entire training process, instructing and correcting actions in everything from firing weapons to the correct way to address a superior, and are also largely responsible for the safety of recruits.

My Dad was a Drill Sergeant. He taught me so many things. Discipline, Courtesy. How to be observant. Professionalism. How to walk and speak with confidence. Appearance- how to spit shine my boots which I still do today. The importance of cleaning my room and making my bed. The understanding that perfection IS possible. Love you Dad- see you on the other side
Aus genau dem Grund entschloss ich mich zum Zivildienst. Ich musste mich nicht von 9. Klasse-Schulabgänger anbrüllen lassen , durch den Dreck robben um mir oder anderen etwas zu beweisen. Disziplin, Respekt, Fleiß und Ordnung etc. erfuhr ich durch gute Erziehung und nicht durch das Militär. Aus mir ist was geworden…
😂
Sounds like one hell of a man
Great advices: 1.) avoid creating unwanted attention. 2.) observe everything around. 3.) be a team player. 4.) Don't quit / Never give up.
Or join an army in a country without a shout-sergeant.
I have seen basic training on TV before, it shows us the life and how the basic training in the boot camp is like, and it is like hell for 10 weeks. Later on they will get better in the military life.
@@gerhard6105 and die in battle
except in afghanistan 👌
Whenever I’m nervous I smile, I pray to god that whenever/if I go to basic, I don’t smile. Cause nothing is funny and I don’t think anything is funny. It’s just that smiling keeps me calm when I’m nervous. Gonna try my best not to smile tho
You'll be alright. I smile a whole lot too. Just don't overthink it, do what the drills say and you'll be just fine 🤙🏽
Haha same
Easier said than done but don't get overwhelmed if you smile and you have 3 DS screaming at you. All you have to remember is every minute and step you take is a minute and step closer to graduating and getting the hell out of basic. It won't last forever but it'll feel like it does.
Understandable
Don’t worry about it. You’ll get smoked no matter what. Just know that every time they’re smoking you, you’re getting stronger and becoming a better soldier
My recruiter told me he had that same problem. He said the drill sergeants nicknames him “smilie” and smoked him every time he smiled but he couldn’t help it. By the end of basic training he had the best PT score out anyone in his company
That’s the mindset you gotta have. A mind set of not quitting, of knowing NBC everything you do is making to better, and knowing that one day this will end and you just got to get to that point
“It’s good tasting food and they get 15 minutes to eat” - experiences may vary
Damn business insider
Sometimes I barely got 10
Never had even 10 min kkkkkkkkkk
15 min ? They gave us 5 min lol
@@theofficialtatti432 you got to eat?
Who seen the title pic with drill sergeant without hat and said "Oh yeah this is gotta be good?"
I did
lotta my ds’s never wore their pc’s or hat
When the DS threw his smokey the bear hat on the ground I was like..."Oh yeah, the SMOKING lamp is lit..."!!!
Believe it or not Drill Sergeants do laugh. In 72 I was 17 when I enlisted. While still at Reception we were at rest waiting outside to get IDs. A Drill Sergeant came walking by and yelled out who here is 17. Like a dumb ass I raised my hand. He came up to me and yelled WHY ARE YOU NOT HOME WITH YOUR MOMMA. I YELLED RIGHT BACK AT HIM AND SAID I HAVE BEEN WONDERING THE SAME GOD DAMNED THING MYSELF DRILL SERGEANT. He looked at me laughing 😂 and just walked away. I miss those Drill sergeants they taught me a lot about life Thanks for your service.
I read a similar comment on another video for Marines. This guy from Minnesota told his DI he didn't know how to swim, and the DI asked him "You come from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and you don't know how to swim?!?" Guy replied back, "Sir, most of the time they were frozen, Sir!". He said the DI had to turn around so the recruits wouldn't see him laughing.
I’m hoping to enlist when I’m 17 as well.

Just to clarify, some parts of this are not videos of basic training. Parts of the video are from a National Guard RSP unit that prepares soldiers for basic training by conducting simulations and training events with National Gaurd Drill Sergeants.

I leave for basic training for the Army NG in fort Jackson SC in 2 weeks and I’m honestly beyond excited as this is something I’ve wanted to do as a kid. I feel like I’m making my father proud every day as he watches over me and I hope he sees that.
Aye, keep your head down, dont get your battle buddies in trouble cuz of you, dont quit. You got this
Same see you at ft Jackson bro
Fort Jackson 2-39 C Co was better than 2-39 A-Co. Best decision ever to join the army. AIT was also a breeze and now I’m at my first duty station. Just keep your head down and try not to draw much attention to yourself and remember to be in the right uniform at the right place and right time. Good luck kiddo.
Wow man that’s touching. Good luck in life
Good luck brother. Similar situation here. My mom died of cancer back in March. I was in the Army National Guard before but I didn't get to ship to basic due to medical issue that happened right before shipping, but I went to a lot of the RSP drills. I drilled with the unit in this video 53rd IBCT, great unit. I got discharged from the National Guard after 2 1/2 years of fighting tooth and nail to go to basic. Now I'm re-enlisting as active duty Marines
that one guy who was smiling even while being yelled at by drill sergeants needs some marine drill instructors in front of him
to be fair the drills were being extra goofy. i guess they were putting on a show for the camera or something.
Not really. He knows it is all BS...
women dont join marines
Boy I’d just laugh if I was him. Marine drills?! 🤣
@@StagonRatedE You wouldn't be laughing if the Drills could put their hands on you like they could a while back.
Basic Training Ft Campbell Ky Dec70-Feb 71. This is the first video that I have viewed on youtube that makes me proud to see the US Army is maintaining a tough physical program for the young recruits.
Eww watch a older one this is girl school anymore. Ft. Knox Sept-Feb 08 OSUT. IF YOU AINT CAV!

reception typically lasts 3-5 days AHAHAHA. Shit lasted 2-4 weeks
It probably lasts longer now with COVID. I laugh at that also, 3-5 days is wishful thinking. Mine was almost two weeks when I went through about three years ago, but I've seen it be longer now with COVID.
Father?
Lasted one week for me. 43rd AG, Fort Leonardwood
Same. I came in July 14, 2020. That shit was 2.5wks
Mine lasted 3 days and I remember getting off the bus, getting smoked almost immediately and thinking I wanna go back to reception. Lol
"Why why why whyyyyy...."
Sounds like someone in a movie after someone they love died
It's been over 30 years since I joined the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and I'm finally discharged. I could only become a sergeant major. The atmosphere in the military is similar everywhere.
お疲れ様でした 自分の同期や先輩後輩もほとんど曹長退官でした自分が入隊したときは退官する大先輩方 おまけで上がったり号俸上げとかあったようですがここ●十年は厳しいのでしょうか？ あ💦自分は２任期除隊です⤴️😵(^o^;) 病欠とか長かった先輩とか２曹退官とかでしたが💦シャバ出たらしんどかったみたいです😃💦
That's why you're the best.
Love America.
Who spit their drink out when he said good tasting food
I did when he said “we have vegetarian options that they are open to”. The options, Noodles and potatoes 😂😂😂
The Army SAYS they don’t do the shark attack anymore, but we all know they still do. If there’s no cameras or officers around on day 0, they still do it. Speaking from experience as someone who enlisted just last year
I just came from benning, no shark attack right off the bus, but we sure did have one... And since they thought our cycle is easier cuz of covid, we were in white phase til osut graduation lol. PLT’s got kicked back to red phase a lot. All day smokings. smokings everyday. haha. NO privileges, all the way thru. no passes. no chill. lets just say UO was fun, ds’s had a blast. TRADOC? lol funny
@@DeltaThreeOne shit. Cav, tanker, or infantry? Experiences may vary haha
I graduated bct from Sill last year. They had their own version of the shark attack and first 100. They called it the hellcat 100. The drills didn’t really scream at us, just made us run 3 laps carrying gear to the drill pad and we had to take it back and put it exactly where we got it.
This is how it used to be. But thanks to the new SGM of the Army. Basic training has now been pussified.
Shit yeah!! I heard that Tree Hugging is a new SOP in Basic!!
I just went through basic and this is exactly how it went
Politics has influenced the military. There are a series of quotas and "indications" that aim to reduce the testosterone level of the combat fronts! It's unnatural, in my view... there's no way this can end well! 👀
I leave for basic Tomorrow morning 😳
Hey good luck! It's going to be an experience, but it'll be worth it.
How’s it going, 2 weeks left ?
He died
How was it
Respect from a german soldier 🇺🇸 🤝🏻 🇩🇪
Ah yes before COVID-19
15 minutes to eat means 13 minutes waiting in line, 2 minutes sit down and eat lol good luck yall
Exactly this.
Nope. Everyone stands at table waiting for last person to be served b4 they can all eat
The recruit next to him at 2:47 is thinking "Do NOT make eye contact, for the love of God"
THANK YOU DRILL SERGEANT
The dude smiling with the glasses at the beginning is the exact guy I am not ready to deal with for 5 months
Before you o to basic, make sure you’re cardio is good.
This accurately depicts how easy army bct was
It's gotten way worse
Its SJW, BLM etc. Etc.. there are tones of videos online showing their wokeness
Dude this is fucking sad
@Daniel Voss yeah i didnt know if it was still bitch shit. Ig getting smoked with a mask on made it alot harder
I took basic twice. 1956 and 1963. Went to basic Air Borne school in 1957 so I showed up for 2nd basic wearing my wings. At first, the cadre went bonzo, but when I showed them the DD-214, they were proud of me. Retired an 04 in 1980.
Naurettavaa porukkaa ei ihme etä
My husband done that and being there now he's retired but love to here his bct ait and active duty stories...I will proudly support the US Army
🖕🏻💩🇺🇲🇨🇳🇷🇺.
So much has changed since I went through the doors at Lost in the woods !!!
My son just graduated basic at Ft. Sill. It was amazing to see his transformation.
I'm Korean Thank you to the U.S. Army for protecting our country during the Korean War
Just remember it doesn’t last forever and you will be invincible when you pass out .
Surprising how I can look back fondly on basic training at Ft. Polk in 72. All the while remembering that parts of it was very difficult. That many would leave from there and head to Vietnam.
I went in in "73" FLW.. 17 weeks of BT and four of us went overseas, two Korea and two Germany.
We were so happy that Vietnam was off the list..
I just left Polk earlier this month. It's still a dump as is Leesville.
I didn't do the Nam route but still had to do the 16 Weeks at Tigerland. That is one place in The United States I won't be visiting anytime soon. A lifetime of cursing out Fort Polk and Louisiana.
@@michaelvandyke6715 If you're was the one that went to West Germany how do you feel now with NATO all the way through to The Russian border? I guess the job we did in stopping the Soviet Union was not good enough. I was in West Germany when Saigon fell in 1975. Believe me when we heard the news all the people who was over there were celebrating like crazy but I didn't because that was not part of my war, but years later when The Soviet Union collapse that when I celebrated but I've seen that is happening now with Russia and Ukraine I know now I partied to soon.
Now this is the army I remember! Excellent.

Why are you smiling?
Me: I'm just happy to be here.
@L. Kennedy Perfect answer. "I'm just happy to be here Drill Sergeant"
That guy who was smiling 🙂 while the Drill Sargents was yelling at , he better be lucky those cameras 🎥 was rolling.
Because of technological advances todays soldiers are far more capable than I was in 1968 Ft. Polk. More to learn and more to retain. My hat is off to these fine Americans.
Ft Polk may 1966 of eight wks of basic
@@joecanedo5897 How was The Casino back then in Leesville. I was there in 73 did all Basic training and AIT at Tigerland so when we got a week end pass we headed to The Casino. This was at night and when the cab went down the street there was people hanging in front of that place and they were not playing when they told us never go there buy your self. That was a scary place and I was from North Philly.
@@dennisholiday1868 we played bingo back in 1966
I went to Fort Benning, Georgia in January 1966 for basic training. Company B, 10th Bn., 2Trng. Brigade. From some of the comments that I have read, many sound like a bunch of sissies, cowards and among other things that I would like to say about your. Basic training was longer and like night and day compare to now. Over the years I have returned to see what the training is like for the new recruits and I don't feel that they in the long run are being prepared properly for survival in a war situation. I survived my tours in Vietnam and my military career because of the basic training and other advance training. So many don't realize how fortunate they are to be living in the United State of America.
I leave for basic training in a couple of months and smiling when im nervous or scared is gonna be a big problem. all I can think about is me 5'1 going in as a short girl who has several giants standing around me yelling and screaming i also got really nervous over the jumping over things as well
You will surely make it, I’m with you in prayers success will always be your potion throughout your training stay safe and stay blessed
You're a female, you'll make it......they lower the standards way down for you, don't worry
Basic and AIT at FT Polk Aug to Oct 75
Good video. Now I know more about US Army basic training. With this information, if I do go, I can better succeed at basic training.
thinking bout going too maybe ill see you my man
Imagine not sounding off
Basic training has really changed. My basic was at ft. Bragg afterwards was jump school than Vietnam
The obstacle course they used to fire live ammo over you t head. The DIsUsed to hit you amoung other things it is now a country club.I was the guy with the company flag
Going to fort Leonardwood on Halloween! Pretty excited
Glad I went through basic like this
Que trabalho transformar esses nerds bola mucha em soldados
When I went through basic, when it was time to eat, everyone had the exact same thing. We didn't get to choose shit. It's crazy how easy basic has got over the past 10-15 years. I went through in 2007.
The military probably wouldn't want me. I'm extremely picky.
In 2015 we got a choice between 2 things. A chicken leg or a pork chop. We ate the dfac twice when I was in basic. Some of the companies ate there everyday. We got 10 minutes.
When I did BCT in 1981, we didn't even know what we were getting. NO CHOICES! Slap it on the tray and be thankful you were eating!
@@sarge6870 you remember those glasses they issued? They still issue them lol. I still have my pair somewhere
@@genericwhitemale1114 Never needed glasses then but did later in life. Yes...those black plastic frame glasses? If nothing else, troops that needed them were at least uniform!
They aren't swearing because the cameras are on.
Man this would be fun. But unfortunately I'll be getting my first hundred yards 😢.
I heard that its supposed to be a better alternative, but from what I've seen so far, irs pretty underwhelming
@@juanmunoz7729 shark attack could still be done but oh well.
How lame was the 100 yards?
Me too
Iron Star Of Mordian I wonder if the Drill Instructors at Marine Bootcamp are the same way?
수고 많습니다 Good
Basic military training is a very hard time. However, through this training you will realize that you are stronger than you who were.
BCT is so easy. if you're watching this because you are considering going have no worry as it will be the easiest thing you'll do. it might not look like it here but they will train you to the point where anything that looks hard at first will eventually be very simple.
They had to lower the standards for women......so now most men can make it through basic only having to giving about 40% effort....
I was in the military 30+ years ago and am out of touch. I am curious about this video. Is this regular Army boot camp or follow on training for infantry soldiers after boot camp?
The DFAC at Benning had amazing food actually. But we had nowhere near 15 minutes to eat. These 'shark attacks' were a 'little mild' compared to what we experienced. But the memories! Why do I miss this? I'll never know. A3-47 'Blackjack', March 2011.
DFAC at Benning was top notch, best army food I ever had.
@@SpecZer00 Same here. Sill had a decent one but Bennings DFAC was a major morale booster for us!
What they don’t say is it’s 15 minutes from the time you arrive at the DFAC.
I find the military training of our ally the USA very good. I love America and its Army. Greetings from turkey. 🇺🇸❤🇹🇷
At 0:52 I heard a drill sargent say in the background “we got a crier!” and omg I just felt so much pity for whoever was crying 😭I bet that they got their ass chewed alive, tbh as someone planning to join the National Guard crying in front of a DS is my absolute worst nightmare
Don’t be afraid. This video is Benning and that’s home of infantry. When you arrive to your bct you’re gonna learn that the worst part is reception. Reception for me in Sill had me second guessing, but when I made it to my battery it was a breeze. Just listen and execute.
Make sure you learn The Army Song and Soldiers Creed, you’re still gonna get smoked because other people won’t know it, but that’s basic for you. Also, being physically fit will help you a lot. It’s true that you’ll come out stronger either way, but it helps out a lot. Also, for the love of god, do not be afraid of going to sick call. Seriously. If you are injured just go. I got a grade 4 stress fracture at the start of basic and I still graduated on time. Not going will make your injuries worse and you’ll end up being a recycle or you make it to AIT and won’t be able to do anything.
My AIT was 6 months long and we had people who couldn’t do PT almost the entirety of that because they didn’t go to sick call in bct and were so messed up.
I remember getting ready to go down the rappel tower, the DS was securing the rope with the D-Ring and he looks over to the other DS working on my Battle Buddy and said that he forgot how to do it on my D-Ring (mine was larger than most) the other DS took a look and said that he'll do it one way on mine and one way on the other guy and see which one works. Needless to say that did NOT help my fear of heights.
I smiled at a drill Sgt and he asked me why I was smiling. I said because I have a father just like you at home who was a retired drill Sgt.
How was army basic for you
Different times. I think the whole time i was there, I called home 3 or 4 times. The food was amazing.
I went to Ft Jackson July 1990. I ended up doing 22 years between Regular Army and Army National Guard I retired as an E-7 it was the best decision I made
2:25 lol this reclute is so cold and bad ass man 😂 he has no idea what he got himself into, greetings from ARA (Argentine Navy) 🫡
Who made this video lol. The bottom said welcome to the rifle range as they are on the confidence course. Do they take enemy fire while repelling now? 😂
Así se forman hombres de provecho y de bien gloria a Dios
“Get up get down get up get down.”
I went through Fort Jackson in 1974. My first day in the training area after I arrived from the reception center was one of the worst days I had. I was 17 and scared shitless with all those drill sergeants screaming in my face. We were supposed to execute a left face. I started right then went left. The Drill Sergeant dumped the contents of my gym bag on the ground and pulled my gym bag over my head, zipped it up around my neck but not before cracking open an ammonia capsule. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t see, I was gasping for air. He was snickering but I never confused my right with my left again.
My late husband served in the U S Army Signal Corps during the Vietnam era (cell site in South Korea). He did his basic training at Fort Benning (around 1968 I think). He told me that you did not call the drill sergeants “sir”; apparently “sir” is only for commissioned officers. “DON’T YOU CALL ME SIR! I WORK FOR MY LIVING!!” is what he said a “sir” would get you. The proper term was apparently “yes, Drill Sergeant” or “no, Drill Sergeant”. Did anyone else here experience this?
OH YES !!!---
Literally everybody who has every been to us army basic training has experienced this
Yeah anyone who was ever in the army knows this. The marine corps/navy use sir, yes, sir. The army you’ll always refer to them as drill sergeant. Sir is only for commissioned officers
Learned that at the reception station before I even got to BCT!
Air Force you call all NCOs Sir in Basic and Tech School
I’d be smiling and laughing because that’s how I dealt with my abusive dad before he killed himself, just laugh it off. Helped me stay sane.
Geez man, Jesus loves you!
DS explaining the food situation is gold 🫡
You knowwwww he’s reading from a card lmao
Cool video , thank god we have the greatest military in the world 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wooooooooooooooooo buenos Instructores 👌
The longer you can go without an instructor knowing your name the better you are.
Even the chef was stressin when the DI came by he had flashbacks
*been there and done that - 1977 A-42 - FLW*
oh hell yeah im ready for september 12
My basic was at Ft Sill in 93. The Drill sgts could not hit us. But they did not let us shower every day. We had to low crawl on concrete till we had bloody elbows.
I'm a fan of the US Army. My dream would be to serve in the U.S. Army
การฝึกที่เป็นมิตรมาก เคยใฝ่ฝันอยากเป็นทหารมากโอกาสคงไม่มีแล้ว
6:53 use the pegs ds use the pegs. I miss basic to be honest. I had a great time. I came out in the best shape of my life. I went from running a 19 minute 2 mile to a 14 minute 2 mile.
“We have many, many different food options for every life style”
“For the vegetarians, we have…just noodles………..and mashed potatoes”
😂😂😂
Looks quite nice. I'd like to try
Parabéns aos novatos
Never smile at basic draining otherwise you'll get smoke.
I'm glad I had 2 10th Mountain INFANTRY badasses with serious PTSD from the many deployments they volunteered for as my DSs
I LOLed at "15 minutes to eat" . . . Yeah okay lol. Good luck if you're the last one to sit down.
I WOULD HAVE done a TROLL FACE at the Drill sergeants and LAUGHING MWHAHHAHA
Ys vry good
Que legal os soldados americanos são muito bonzinhos, um alô do Brasil 🇧🇷
Não. Só os recrutas de hoje, porque os soldados da guerra do Iraque para trás o exército americano ainda era sinistro.
Eu estava pensando a mesma coisa aqui kkkkkkk
Regardless of how big them drill sergeants are I'm glad they can't touch you, hit you or push you cuz that'd be a problem for me
They used to, and yes it would be a problem for you.
I went through Army Basic in 1985.
So when did they changed the name from "Basic" to "Boot?"
And to be honest, I've seen in person when the press or anyone in media shows up and they bump up the over the top stunts like screaming at people getting in their faces screaming, and so on.
I feel sorry to this when the the press/media show up and the troops have to endure all the CREATED DRAMA for no good reason.
These shark attacks are no longer allowed, but the drill sergeants have other ways of getting the recruits attention later on down the road, Ooah, :-) ♤♡◇♧
"not allowed" lmao. they make their little loopholes or just do it anyways
DS saying freaking whattt🤯
Crazy men
I went to Benning. A co 1/50 May-Sept '00.
That one ds had a 278th army national guard patch
Jesus, I feel bad for those Drill Sargent. How do they keep from losing their voices?
yell from the gut not the throat
This is what i want for 16-18. For ALL!!
Todos os instrutores, são pique sgt Hartman, meu sonho ser officer us army
Danger had me on the floor... 😂😂😂😂
Ft. Sill - and this brings back some memories.
Of course, back in the 80s they did more than just yell - a lot of foul language was used.
the is a sweet volume.
Como eu gostaria de fazer parte do exército americano.
soldados n passam d um bando d marionetes controlados por governos corruptos eles mandam os trouxas pra morrer nas guerras q eles mesmo começam e ficam só no bom é do melhor kk
Seeing that kid being yelled at reminded me of myself when I joined at 17 years old.
i remember having extra duty for like 3 weeks, one time i had to cut the enitre lawn around the barracks with my hands.. to a certain length.. lol
