To those that are unaware: This is Officer training. THIS IS NOT boot camp for enlisted. And while there might be many similarities, they are quite different. For one, they are much kinder to cadets than they are privates.
@@mandalorej9139 they still end up going to bootcamp, it’s just that it’s for officers only aka ocs. Well at least that’s what us marine options did in NROTC. Much harder than bootcamp.
@Duffelbag Drag I’m not sure if you’re saying I have an attitude or if the cadets do? I’m about to ETS, lmao. If you’re talking about me, I don’t want respect from soldiers who can’t do push-ups or throw a 10 pound ball 12 meters. The Army is a cess pool of nerds who can’t shoot straight and I’m not worried about being the most popular loser of the group. The army standards are low and it’s pathetic.
Don’t compare bootcamp with the trainings these cadets do, their instructors are not drill sergeants, but rather upper class men/ officers. The young officers are there to study academics and not in a hurry to be sent to the frontline. They still have to endure 4 more years of academic pressure plus military pressure so they aren’t taking it easy.
There are non-commissioned roles that do both a full bootcamp and several years academic study and training. The question isn't their rank but what they need to do their job and the acceptable levels of attrition. Many have very low graduation rates, mainly due to stress. I think criticisms of junior officers to be justified, they aren't adequately prepared as military personnel for their jobs. Their words by the way, not mine.
The young men and women that attend the service academies are among our country’s finest. They have a rare combination of academic prowess, physical fitness, discipline, and character. In addition, they chose to serve. I know several West Point graduates who I met after their military service was over. They were all high achieving people of great character long after their military service was over.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH.)
I served as an enlisted and climbed the ranks to non commissioned officer and it's great to see what the officers I served with had to endure before becoming an officer. NCO's may be the backbone of the Army because of our experiences but good officers make the call that we had to follow. I was fortunate to have served with a lot of great officers.
Well, as an enlisted man/NCO, the only officers you really deal with are lieutenants and captains. A major from time to time. Junior grade officers that are actually in field. But war/military operations are planned by the senior grade officers corps _(Stabsoffiziere in German)._ From major upwards. Something the ordinary grunt tends to forget when he's fighting. The job of these men and women is/will be to study and planning the art of war. A profession that comes with a heavy burden. Since your plans include the deaths of your own men/people. I can't imagine how someone in a position like the German general Paulus felt, when he surrendered to the Soviets. Only 6.000 of his whole VI. Army _(300.000 men)_ survived the war and the following Soviet custody. To which extent did he feel personal guilt? The thing is: Without the officers corps there's no military. It would be nothing but a bunch of men with guns in uniforms. The necessity of a well trained/schooled officers corps is known to mankind since ancient times. _Pardon my English. I'm not a native speaker, nor have I ever been to an English speaking country._
Officers are mostly trash compared to their responsibilities. Private = LT SPC = LT/CPT SGT = CPT SGT/SSG = CPT/MAJ SFC = MAJ/LTC After that it’s all equal. COs are not smarter. Often they are try hards who couldn’t replace a battery because they farted and it stunk too much.
Yo that’s my buddy Ryan at 7:55. He was a senior last year and I was a sophomore. He’s the most genuine guy ever. He studied hard everyday and has an amazing, loving girlfriend who is super supportive of him. I’m glad to see he’s doing well!

@@attache675 just because you went to 4 years of college and a fancy school dosent make you a leader and a quality leader. You can improve leadership, but to take responsibility for your actions and be able to be disciplined enough to own up to everything you do as an officer and reflect on your mistakes and use those to direct a good path for the well-being of your men/women that you are held responsible for their lives and livelihoods isn’t something that gets taught by getting a A- in English class,but the context of your characteristics as a human being.
@@Ross38436 The ultra intense boot camp you went through is an artifact of Vietnam specifically due to the draft. We don't have the draft now so it's no longer needed because everyone who's showed up to BCT NOW wants to be there. No need to beat them into submission anymore. If the draft comeback who know.
@koc988 it was just like it was in Vietnam or worse decades prior to the conflict. It serves it purpose and the taking away from it hurts the force, if you can't operate in hostile environments under intense stress, you're a liability to the mission, your unit and your buddies lmao

Is it me or does this basic training seem easier (or at least less stressful) than the others. Felt like I saw a lot more yelling in the army/marine boot camps. The encouragement from the instructors seemed a little more wholesome here lol
This is for the educated people who are lost less abuse and to gain a little more knowledge than you would in a regular Boot Camp. When they graduate and proceed they automatically gain a higher rank. That is my two cents or as much as I know but could be wrong.
@@legiran9564 very possible, a place as prestigious as West Point probably values a more refined image. Gotta make sure those politicians still want to send their kids there haha
The army as a whole has changed changed it’s training model to shift towards respecting candidates and the value that they bring to our professional force versus degrading them. You’ll see this in the business insider infantry osut training video as well. Some say it’s a step in the right direction in creating thinking/autonomous soldiers … who will eventually become positive leaders who create positive and non-toxic leadership environments. It’s all about setting an example for recruits of what good leadership looks like, and now the army thinks good leaders only yell at people with a purpose.
An old high school under classman of mine graduated from West Point last year and is now an infantry LT. I gave him advice as a former enlisted man. I informed him not to act like hot shit, that there were PVTs with boots that had more TIS than him and that he needs to be a leader that his men can go to and trust. He appreciated the advice.
I wish I enlisted at 17 instead of 19 and went to west point via scholarship instead of the route I’m taking now. Still happy with where I’m at, but this looks like good shit
It’s good to share army experience like myself; I had experience being in rotc, as a cadet, and experienced the basic camp in Fort Knox Kentucky. I decided to enlist into the army having to do BCT for 10 weeks I have to compare to rotc experience. I say the real army harder lol 😂 but a great experience I had. I have a high school friend who went through West Point, and he played football for them to, but anyones he had a great experience with them.
@@badabing8152 hey now my grammar is fine, I’m just responding to the video about West Point academy. Don’t need to talk to formal here, and try not to be so negative we are soldiers here Hooray!
We had to go easy this last summer while we were there. We were basically just teaching in a relaxed state I will say the the cadet cadre were the main discipline backbone.
Yeah no need for a formal talk but you’re in college now and will soon become an army officer (if you could make). So you should at least invest in your grammar when you type in your sentences. Because army officers will write/type a lot of paper works. And your habit of poorly written grammar will leave you without respect from your underlings.
Hello 👋 Sir. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm SStg Alexander vanscovk and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a military man
As a retired Soldier I look at these folks and I salute them for their choice to serve. But they are not pushed to the max like we were in BCT. I remember when we would receive them fresh from school. We had fun getting them ready to be able to take charge of a platoon . The best Officers were the ones who came from the enlisted ranks.
Eh, I'd say it's reasonable not to push students as far as people in BCT. There has to be a balance between pushing students and avoiding causing too many to quit. If too many quit due to boot camp you run the risk of losing some of the brightest minds in the US.
People don’t realize how difficult these military academies are. If you are an athlete, you have to perform in your sport, maintain your grades at institutions that are basically Ivy League level and deal with your military commitments.
I mean ... they're not really Ivy League in academics ... they're more Penn State. BUT whereas Penn State students have only academics, cadets have drill, and mandatory sports, and cleaning/shining/preparing for military drill, and and and....
They are not basically Ivy. They portray themselves as such. There are community colleges that are more difficult. The difficulty is scaled by the person and their background.
this makes the infantry OSUT i went through look like summer camp lol, regardless though, you can see they expect A LOT more techincal knowledge of things that grunts like us dont have to worry about too much.
I love these videos. I'm hoping that you guys will post one about the Canadian Armed Forces BMQ (Basic Military Qualification training). Would love to see it!
You’re incredibly waaaaay off on your stats. 120,000 do not apply every year and 10% of that is 12,000. There are 1,200 new cadets who arrive every year. You missed a comma.
In Britain, people also bred rabbits for free meat. Whilst evacuating children to the country was seen as a little brutal, the kids ended up well nourished as they were fed from farms and their diets were rich in dairy and protein.
I don't know the specifics of WP CBT but compared to USAFA's BCT, it seems way more field based, more learning and less yelling. During USAFA BCT all we did was standing at attention in the hallways with contrails at 90 degrees, memorize quotes, get PTed, do bed drills, etc. Jacks Valley part involved more physical stuff like the assault course but that was just during that week down there. The rest of basic was done on academy campus.
dawg ain't no way a '25er at USAFA is on here sucking off West Point if you wanted to join the army join the fuckin army go get kicked out of CSOPS again
This video only displays CBT 2, which is the second half of Cadet Basic Training. The first half, CBT 1, is generally not shown(other than r day). CBT 1 consists of honing basic Army skills(drill and ceremony, reporting, saluting, proper stances) attending boring briefs, getting smoked for no reason, and cleaning your room. They also have a knowledge book they need to memorize, which is not fun when you're sleep deprived. West Point wants to maintain their golden child image so they do not flaunt the scary side of CBT.
8:30 remind me of a short were a soldier in training was told by the instructor “SNAP! Your entire platoon legs have been blown off! What are your doing?” And the trainee just lets out a high pitched scream
A lot of things are West Point specific besides the field training so that’s the difference between this and basic. But definitely easier because there are no drill sgts and they treat you like a human. Basically a sucky summer camp.
Our weapons training in the Navy boot camp 1975 consisted of only 12 rounds of .22 ammunition at an indoor range. I hope it has changed since then. I was required to qualify on the Colt 45 for standing topside watch in port and received lots of training and followup practice at the Groton,Ct. Sub Base.
Interesting. Mine was a Beretta and a Mossberg 500. Great Lakes, October 10 to December 7 (Pearl Harbor 66th Anniversary), 2007. Glad to see a fellow Navy vet here. Now, I’m looking to go Warrant with the National Guard years from now. Cheers!

It’s crazy to me how much medical training it seems they got from the interventions they placed, I’m a navy corpsman and it’s awesome to see them get medical training to the extent it’s shown although they probably won’t be nurse core officers.
The top scoring ones will be lucky enough to get assigned to medical corps and attend medical school
Ive been waiting for another boot camp documentary for a long while now.....the joy i felt when i saw this,...........
Love it, great video. Beat Navy!
Our new Generation of leaders for the USA. Good luck. Duty, Honor, Country.
Not just physique, also the mental toughness to be strengthened!
Man. West Point was so much fun. I’d love to go back as a instructor.
How was your time there? Is it true people go there to be the leaders of the Army? Just like Annapolis for the Navy and the Air Force Academy?
So do it
@@attache675 no😂
@@attache675 just because you went to 4 years of college and a fancy school dosent make you a leader and a quality leader. You can improve leadership, but to take responsibility for your actions and be able to be disciplined enough to own up to everything you do as an officer and reflect on your mistakes and use those to direct a good path for the well-being of your men/women that you are held responsible for their lives and livelihoods isn’t something that gets taught by getting a A- in English class,but the context of your characteristics as a human being.
Straight facts
I burst out luaghing when the instructor told him START SCREAMING
You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.
Every single one of them is in shape
Because it’s a requirement to get accepted
As a prior service Soldier, this looks far more friendly and welcoming than what us enlisted Joes got.
I agree looks like daycare
@@Ross38436 The ultra intense boot camp you went through is an artifact of Vietnam specifically due to the draft. We don't have the draft now so it's no longer needed because everyone who's showed up to BCT NOW wants to be there. No need to beat them into submission anymore. If the draft comeback who know.
@koc988 it was just like it was in Vietnam or worse decades prior to the conflict. It serves it purpose and the taking away from it hurts the force, if you can't operate in hostile environments under intense stress, you're a liability to the mission, your unit and your buddies lmao

"Cadet Basic Training, or C.B.T."
Uhhh who's gonna tell them?
I dont get it. Explain to me plz
@@damienpatrick8334😅
LMAO
We’re tracking the acronym. We make fun of it all the time
oh boy
MY BABYYYYY!! Proud Mommy Moment!🥰
GO MY JABRIL!!! OMG!!
Is it me or does this basic training seem easier (or at least less stressful) than the others. Felt like I saw a lot more yelling in the army/marine boot camps. The encouragement from the instructors seemed a little more wholesome here lol
This is for the educated people who are lost less abuse and to gain a little more knowledge than you would in a regular Boot Camp. When they graduate and proceed they automatically gain a higher rank. That is my two cents or as much as I know but could be wrong.
Not really sure if they behave the same off camera.
@@legiran9564 very possible, a place as prestigious as West Point probably values a more refined image. Gotta make sure those politicians still want to send their kids there haha
The army as a whole has changed changed it’s training model to shift towards respecting candidates and the value that they bring to our professional force versus degrading them. You’ll see this in the business insider infantry osut training video as well. Some say it’s a step in the right direction in creating thinking/autonomous soldiers … who will eventually become positive leaders who create positive and non-toxic leadership environments.
It’s all about setting an example for recruits of what good leadership looks like, and now the army thinks good leaders only yell at people with a purpose.
@@gradypoole5366 yeah it’s an academy and you graduate as an officer instead of an enlisted rank Still very strenuous.
The broken arm part was very funny. Cadet is good actor 8:25 🤣🤣
An old high school under classman of mine graduated from West Point last year and is now an infantry LT. I gave him advice as a former enlisted man. I informed him not to act like hot shit, that there were PVTs with boots that had more TIS than him and that he needs to be a leader that his men can go to and trust. He appreciated the advice.
What does tis stand for?
@@robertisham5279 Time In Service
THANK YOU BUSINESS INSIDER!🙏🏾💯💪🏾
I wish I enlisted at 17 instead of 19 and went to west point via scholarship instead of the route I’m taking now. Still happy with where I’m at, but this looks like good shit
Yes, you are doing well peeling potatoes at McDonald’s
2:11 no way they handle so calm, it's GET THAT FOCKING FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER
he's on camera - he aint dumb
I know there's probably not a lot of pranking at West Point but that casualty dummy with a pre-corded scream is a golden opportunity for tampering...
It’s good to share army experience like myself; I had experience being in rotc, as a cadet, and experienced the basic camp in Fort Knox Kentucky.
I decided to enlist into the army having to do BCT for 10 weeks I have to compare to rotc experience. I say the real army harder lol 😂 but a great experience I had. I have a high school friend who went through West Point, and he played football for them to, but anyones he had a great experience with them.
with grammar like this you'll no doubt fail.
@@badabing8152 👎👎👎
@@badabing8152 hey now my grammar is fine, I’m just responding to the video about West Point academy. Don’t need to talk to formal here, and try not to be so negative we are soldiers here Hooray!
We had to go easy this last summer while we were there. We were basically just teaching in a relaxed state I will say the the cadet cadre were the main discipline backbone.
Yeah no need for a formal talk but you’re in college now and will soon become an army officer (if you could make). So you should at least invest in your grammar when you type in your sentences. Because army officers will write/type a lot of paper works. And your habit of poorly written grammar will leave you without respect from your underlings.
Instructor: "YOU ARE NOW BLIND AND HAVE A BROKEN ARM, START SCREAMING"
That had me dying lol
OMG, I love the military so much. I can't wait to join!
"My arm!" guy is my buddy, real great guy, wish he was as good at talking to women as he is at flailing around on the ground though
Hello 👋 Sir. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm SStg Alexander vanscovk and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a military man
As a retired Soldier I look at these folks and I salute them for their choice to serve. But they are not pushed to the max like we were in BCT. I remember when we would receive them fresh from school. We had fun getting them ready to be able to take charge of a platoon . The best Officers were the ones who came from the enlisted ranks.
These videos are good but they don't show the full story all of these soldiers are being "nice" till the camera goes off
You lost In Afganistan.
Lost In Afganistan
Lost In Irak
Lost In Yaman.
You lost
@@carkawalakhatulistiwa Didn’t know Saddam was still alive…
Eh, I'd say it's reasonable not to push students as far as people in BCT. There has to be a balance between pushing students and avoiding causing too many to quit. If too many quit due to boot camp you run the risk of losing some of the brightest minds in the US.

8:24 im sorry, i know its serious training but i dont know how anyone doesnt laugh. i cant stop watching that scene lol
People don’t realize how difficult these military academies are. If you are an athlete, you have to perform in your sport, maintain your grades at institutions that are basically Ivy League level and deal with your military commitments.
I mean ... they're not really Ivy League in academics ... they're more Penn State. BUT whereas Penn State students have only academics, cadets have drill, and mandatory sports, and cleaning/shining/preparing for military drill, and and and....
They are not basically Ivy. They portray themselves as such. There are community colleges that are more difficult.
The difficulty is scaled by the person and their background.
"Cadet Basic Training, or CBT"
oh boy i cant look at that abbreviation normally anymore
this makes the infantry OSUT i went through look like summer camp lol, regardless though, you can see they expect A LOT more techincal knowledge of things that grunts like us dont have to worry about too much.
Well-made vedio clip, serving its purpose!
West Point has been prestigious for a reason!
Listen i know it’s ment to feel like combat but the my arm guy made me laugh so hard
12:46 Philippine represent. Good luck kabayan!!!
Great marketing/recruiting video.
8:32 WHY IS BRO SO GOOD AT ACTING LIKE LEGIT IF I WAS IN A WAR AND HEARD THAT I WOULD LEGIT YELL BULLS EYE
Not that war is patriotic yet this made me tear up w pride.
Best of luck, Cadets!
Only people who didn't come from Tiktok are worthy of liking this 🏆
I love these videos. I'm hoping that you guys will post one about the Canadian Armed Forces BMQ (Basic Military Qualification training). Would love to see it!
That gas chamber was hell, as soon as I went into the chamber my Sergeant was bringing out his crackhead energy stirring that pot
You never went through one
Looks intense in-front of cameras, but very chill without the cameras
To me that looked chill the whole time. Enlisteds go through hell while officers get treated like civilians
This video was dope much respect to them all 😂❤
After watching this I question how every officer I have seen can't read a map and we get lost
It's because there's no shiny flags for them to find.
"BOOM! You are now BLIND, and got a BROKEN ARM-- start screaming!"
this is how you know they're ready 😁
You’re incredibly waaaaay off on your stats. 120,000 do not apply every year and 10% of that is 12,000. There are 1,200 new cadets who arrive every year. You missed a comma.
The number is off but you’re forgetting that not everyone makes it through basic training.
@@lMystikl that’s not the point of my statement.
"Cadet basic training, or CBT..."
My immature brain: "teeheehee"
Awesome people keep the United States of America safe!
Watching this after receiving an appointment this morning 😊
We have similar to this in Singapore for our Basic Military Training that's compulsory for all males. It does get you adrenaline pumping.
In Britain, people also bred rabbits for free meat. Whilst evacuating children to the country was seen as a little brutal, the kids ended up well nourished as they were fed from farms and their diets were rich in dairy and protein.
God Save The King
Good luck to them all. The first steps to a great journey of opportunity.
Call it what it is, proudly signing up for a socialist jobs program where you become a parasite on the taxpayers for the rest of your life.
Seeing this as an enlisted makes me mad jealous n happy all at the same time
I wish my bct had been that easy with a smile in my face.
It looks pampered. Jmo
I actually spent the summer of 2017 helping them train on this exact wall.
Look at Jabril so inspirational
❤❤❤❤
As a former 72D... You're welcome for the tears in the CHAMBER...
Everyone knows it, we all hate it, but we confront it!
This sounds like summer camp. I wish they had this for civilians.
Fat camps?
Aaaahhh this looks chilled compared to boarding school!
Why are they so chill
Cadets, this an academy for officers lol
“Start screaming” i did the same thing playing war with my brother at nine
I don't know the specifics of WP CBT but compared to USAFA's BCT, it seems way more field based, more learning and less yelling. During USAFA BCT all we did was standing at attention in the hallways with contrails at 90 degrees, memorize quotes, get PTed, do bed drills, etc. Jacks Valley part involved more physical stuff like the assault course but that was just during that week down there. The rest of basic was done on academy campus.
usafa basic wasn’t to learn how to be in the air force- it was to learn how to be a doolie
dawg ain't no way a '25er at USAFA is on here sucking off West Point if you wanted to join the army join the fuckin army go get kicked out of CSOPS again
There’s a lot of that here, they just didn’t show it because it’s boring and they want clicks
Camera are magic.
This video only displays CBT 2, which is the second half of Cadet Basic Training. The first half, CBT 1, is generally not shown(other than r day). CBT 1 consists of honing basic Army skills(drill and ceremony, reporting, saluting, proper stances) attending boring briefs, getting smoked for no reason, and cleaning your room. They also have a knowledge book they need to memorize, which is not fun when you're sleep deprived. West Point wants to maintain their golden child image so they do not flaunt the scary side of CBT.
8:30 remind me of a short were a soldier in training was told by the instructor “SNAP! Your entire platoon legs have been blown off! What are your doing?”
And the trainee just lets out a high pitched scream
It's literally just regular boot camp but softer lol
A lot of things are West Point specific besides the field training so that’s the difference between this and basic. But definitely easier because there are no drill sgts and they treat you like a human. Basically a sucky summer camp.
@@flyingpenguin-cq8bh okay, but they didn't show one west point specific thing.
Instructor : SHUT UP UR NOW BLIND AND SHOT IN THE ARM !
Soldier: EYYYYYOOOUGHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHH my arm wahhhh ! 😂 😂😂
This man always tries to do something new and extraordinary and makes his audience feel excited for every next video, Hats off to him,.
Our weapons training in the Navy boot camp 1975 consisted of only 12 rounds of .22 ammunition at an indoor range. I hope it has changed since then.
I was required to qualify on the Colt 45 for standing topside watch in port and received lots of training and followup practice at the Groton,Ct. Sub Base.
Interesting. Mine was a Beretta and a Mossberg 500. Great Lakes, October 10 to December 7 (Pearl Harbor 66th Anniversary), 2007.
Glad to see a fellow Navy vet here. Now, I’m looking to go Warrant with the National Guard years from now.
Cheers!
I need to learn the coordinates one that would be so awesome to know even if im not in the military lol
“Sir/ma'am, my altitude is 7,250' above sea level, far, far above that of West Point or Annapolis.”
Can you do Army Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS) next?
It doesn't work like that.
This is the most relasitc boot camp video I've seen
I feel like to become an officer you should have to be an E5 and go green to gold
Only in a perfect world, friend ^
Nah. Green to gold officers have their own problems that cadet officers dont
