“you are a risk assessment waiting to happen” 😂 i just love their creativity when it comes to insults
Their insults are as creative as Gordon Ramsay‘s famous idiot sandwich insult xD
i laughed too 😂
just went through BCT this year at Fort Benning. It was actually OSUT (One Station Unit) I am National Guard as well. I can say the end of the video is right. Graduating from BCT is one of the most proudest and greatest moments of your life that you will never forget.
Sleeping in the rain with no shelter is fun
Congratulations
Thankyou for your service.
I’m planning to join the Military myself you think I should join the National Guard or not and I wanna be in the Military
@@kahoaliiaiu7130 go big Army, I couldn’t imagine having been infantry as National guard and saying it with a straight face
meeting your drill sergeant who are VERY excited to meet you
drill sergeant: *yells at you* LOL!!!
As in "get the fuck off my bus" ahhh good times 3 years ago. I'm also active duty instead but this was on my feed
“LOL”
Haha yes doge so 2014 haha funnny!!!! Nyan cat
My thoughts too lol
😂😂
@@yoursleepparalysisdemon1828 so funny
i know that hurt losing his dreads damn
It hurt when I had to cut mine off.
Facts bro inside I was crying
Mines is passing my shoulders and mines will be coming off within the next year 10yrs of growing them
@@nicholasbryant8268 Losing a part of you that made you like your mama
Was nasty anyway
i am currently 18 years old, i am graduating high school soon and originally looked into national guard to help pay for my college. i want to major in paramedicean to apply for firefighting. I was at first nervous for this basic training i don’t want to leave my home, friends and family. But now looking more into this i am excited to change who i am. I’m excited to fix myself and work towards my future. I’ll see you guys soon. Wish me luck.
Same, I'm 17 and graduating in June looking forward to join the national guard. Good luck to you!
Updates ?
Update? I’m going to fort jackson in one month and am majoring at aviation. Excited to see what the military has to offer
I am going to fort Benning for both BCT and AIT in July
Tf is ya asking updates for ? Go join that shit & find out, then come back & update 😂😂
No smoking in BCT? Hahahahha.
You get to see Drill Sergeant smoke people daily.
I thought the same thing lmao
plenty of smoking going on
National guard is a joke. Nothing but pansies that are too scared to fight but wanna pretend like they're meaningful. Nobody even considers them as part of the military. They just sit on their ass at home and hand out water bottles after natural disasters
@@ig2965 national guard soldiers are deployed all the time to combat zones and are held to the same standard as active duty personnel. It sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder bud
Ivan Garcia Fuck up, your ass would never make it through the first week 😭😭
Man I get chills on excitement I can't wait to join the National Guard and help my fellow recruits it's all teamwork. So stoked to be beside you guys
Scumbag Jay hey man any follow ups?
Scumbag Jay me too
@General Goldy Semper Fi future Marine Yeah? Well considering the National Guard is 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks during the summer. Yep USMC is definitely more active than the (part time) branch.
@@cosmicsilence6979 what's wrong with that? Not everyone can go balls deep and eat crayons full time.
@@Space.Ghost. anyone could easily lol.they just chose part time.
Who else had their mouth wide open when the guy with the dreads cut his hair off
Brokenbrilliance I cut my dreads for this same reason 😭
Years of work gone
I was like damnnnn all those years gone lol
The barber enjoyed cutting his head
No I was more like hell yeah cut all that nappy ass shit off.
Wish I wasn't so damn fat, gotta keep losing I'm down 42 lbs but not enough. Cant run for shit and would be an embarrassment. Once I'm down another 15 lbs then I will be good enough to sign up and feel good about being a part of something real and meaningful.
Trevor Gutierrez what’s 15 pounds when you’ve already lost 42? Don’t give up brother, you clearly have what it takes to have accomplished what you have already. You’ll be a hell of a Soldier! Stay strong
So? Update ?
JFArchive he hates it. 😏
The harder you work now the easier basic will be.
Did you go in man?
Watching these videos again after BCT, I still get emotional about it. There’s no better feeling than getting that U.S patch slapped on your shoulder, and walking across that stage in your Dress Blues. Tears me up every time.
I have some questions regarding fitness: How was the 2 mile run and what advice would you give to a out of shape beginner? I cannot do pushups, any advice?
What mos did you choose?
@@Just.Lailen The 2-mile run was rough at the first fitness test, but you get far more endurance training during morning PT. As far as push-ups, I would start out with at least 40 push-ups a day (20 in the morning, 20 at night), and then gradually work on going higher within 2 weeks. I would say start with what they call 30-60s, which is running for 30 seconds, and walking 60 seconds, then elevate to 60-120s. Ruck Marching about 3- 4 miles works wonders on your back, legs, and shoulders, Hill Sprints, and half a mile sprints about 8 times. I would also have you to not just run, but get a nice stride and to pace yourself. During basic, they’ll start you off with a 1 mile run, which will determine which running group you’ll be in (Alpha- Fast, Bravo- Pretty Fast, Charley- Moderate, or Delta- Progressive Improvement). Their might be more, depending on how big your Company is. My MOS is 31 Bravo (Military Police). Also, make sure to stay hydrated during the day and night, and get some stretching time in before lights out (probably will be at 2030hrs, 8:30 in military time).
Question- Was the gas as bad as it looks or worse?! haha!
I'm only watching this because I was curious to know what they do during training. It takes a really tough person to make it in the military. I'll admit, I'm not that person. I have a lot of respect for people who do manage to get through this kind of training.
it can be hard but the most fun ive had
Shipping on the 9th of September for infantry
Sai. Bot Same!
I ship out October 17 for basic. Fort Sill
Opsec right out the window make sure you great your DS with a big hug
If you made it: hell yeah get that blue cord
If you quit: fuck you
opsec lol
im 17 and going there this summer and returning for my senior year cant wait
how’d it go ? i’m planning on doing the same
sameeeee
@@andrewdagoat84 same man Goodluck
Leaving for Jackson soon ! Hooah!
Lucretia Sianneh how was it?
Yea how was it
Lucretia Sianneh update?
Relaxing Jackson
@Elias Gonzalez agreed. The same as civies saying oorah before going to Marine boot camp
The only thing relaxing about Jackson is the fact you keep your phones through reception. That's literally about it
One of my friends who went to Jackson got to go to a baseball game and have 2 pizza parties :] I went to Benning myself.
Fort Leonard Wood this January. 31B, Hooah. Should've joined after Highschool but I had two younger sisters to take care of after my parents died. I'm 27 now😅
Man I'm on the fence, I want to go but feeling lazy, don't feel like being told when to eat and sleep, too old lol
@@michaellivingston8015 How old are you? They take people up to 35.
@@Chris_MarMar I turned 34 last month but I'm one of those alpha males who hates being told what to do and when I can eat. Give me training and a weapon but shit it's gonna be hard when they give me 3 little ass meals and nothing before bed hahahhaha
@@Chris_MarMar bro I started process I should be in fort leonard wood after new year but I got pissed cause I went to asvab 2 times and 1 time recruiter scheduled me at 530am but they said they dont test that early.
I was trying to do 31b and 88mike but got pissed I couldnt test and now feeling lazy about leaving 5 months and I have a 5 year old son at home
@@michaellivingston8015 I'm doing 31B myself. I simply look at it like they're trying to do everything in their power to improve you. They're not yelling at you because they've got something against you or anything, they just want you to succeed. That and it's mostly just a mind game. You mentioned going to take the ASVAB twice. Did you not pass?
I wanna see Gordon Ramsay teaching a drill Sargent to cook and they get into a shouting match XD
Gordon Ramsey doesn't have the balls for that.

I'm the youngest of three, my older brother dropped out my sister wants to be a nurse and I'm planning on serving I'm super excited
How’d it ho
Go
@@jamesvelazquez1004 it went great they all are still iffy about it but every one else I have on my side are all super supportive of me doing it
Hey man I know it's been a while but could you give me details please? I'm super curious and I am 16 and thinking about joining once I finish senior year. I want the college money to be honest. But also for the experience.
@@MrFujin why not join your junior year? thats what im doing im excited and nervous for the challenge but hey it gives me something to look forward to
Gat damn. That dreadlock shave hurt. And I don’t even have dreads.
As a veteran who graduated from Marine Corps. boot camp at Paris island in 2002, this seems so calm as far as boot camp goes at least to me. Maybe it’s just the editing or that USMC boot camp and training makes almost everything else look easy in comparison. But, every branch should be proud that the made it through what they had to go through regardless.
“You’ll get to meet your DS who are really excited to meet you!” Hahahaha
The juxtaposition of that statement followed by the DS yelling at everyone to get off the bus got a good chuckle from me.
My nephew is about to leave for basic soon. I wish him the best, though I join the Marine Corp and wouldn't change a thing. I will give him the boot camp talk Marine version to motivate him. I know he will do good and make it
I served six years (1963-1969) in the NY Army Nat'l Guard & did basic training at Ft.Dix, NJ! After 4 mos,
active duty, five 16 day "summer camps" & nearly 300 "drill" nights, I was honorably discharged, but
found out that Nat'l Guardsmen (unless they do six-months active duty, not including training) receive
no "Veteran's" benefits! I wonder if Nat'l Guard recruiters today, conveniently 'play down' this aspect?
Yup I went on the National Guard website and it is very misleading. They saw you get all the benefits but you actually don’t.
Love the part on the medical exams where the guy was taking a eye test WITH GLASSES ON
I do that every time I go to the eye doctor. It’s to see if your vision has changed. Your eyes adapt to the glasses
@@KURM654 the few times ive gone they made me take my glasses off and they did the same to the other kids at meps with me
As a person who has glasses I will tell you, we keep our glasses on when to go to the regular eye doctors too.
Hmmmmm.
Learning that this is what my boyfriend went through back in 2018 when he went through basic training for the national guard in our state at Fort Jackson.
One year and six months until I leave for basic, I’m starting to train and gear up for it now so I’m not completely fucked when I get there 😂
That is a very smart choice. I just went through BCT this year and I can tell you, so many people showed up in bad physical condition and they struggled. If you show up in shape, it will make your life easier and less stressful, I promise.
I am leaving in 4 months and am out of shape
@@Just.Lailen leaving next month gonna hit the gym hard
@@Just.LailenSITREP, WE NEED AN UPDATE ON THIS
I like Different Types of U.S. Military Training Before being a Soldier because I like Jumping Jacks, Push ups, Sit ups, Obstacle Course, Stick Tactics, Shooting Range, Training Field Exercise and also Simulated Combat Scenarios, Rope wall Climbing, Army Crawl and also Infiltration night course too but I don’t know about the Gas Chamber in the Army training because it would take like in 1 minute after 10 weeks of U.S. Army training they would be Graduated for their Families and their love ones who would be proud of them to serve their country
I am thinking about joining soon I have been having life problems for so long wile going through all this I have got the dedication to serve my country I hope to be in fort Jackson soon to start training I hope I get accepted im a prepper in south Carolina but I also want to join the military I know its my calling to serve my country and defend our freedoms I was in JROTC in high school thats what gave me my passion
I want to join the National Guard for weather relief, I don't want to shoot nobody, I'll take the training or whatever but I don't want to be actively training to Kill, I just want to save Lives not take them. I believe in God to much to be in a offensive scenario, only time I'd shoot is to protect my family, but don't put me in a hot zone where I have to be "forced" to defend my brothers and shoot, that's not what I want to sign up for
shipping Monday to Jackson!
I'm excited to join! This video really offered me a great insight! Thank you
Did u join
So did you ??
The national guard gets the exact same training as the regular army, at regular army bases. Why the attempt to make a distinction in the title?
Brian Jordan Because the National Guard and army are two different things, they discern the two that way people researching the National Guard know what they’re looking at and how to find it.
@@bomethia7412
But, as I already pointed out the training is exactly the same. If one wants to research US combat training there is no difference between the regular army and national guard. And these days you're just as likely to be deployed overseas in the guard as you are in the army. But I get your point.
Same training lol? There’s more to your training than BCT or OSUT. Yes they go to the same places as each other. Now take having to wake your ass up everyday and go down for PT for example to waking up and driving to your job, now would you say they have the same training? POG
@@jonanthanenriquez8488
You don't know what you are talking about. Most national guard members serve in the active military before the guard. And the winningest armored brigade in war games in the US is a national guard unit. They regularly hand regular army unit their asses.
Oh and just so you no, my son and son in law are regular army, so don't be calling me a pog, I'm a civilian, but every generation of my family has served in the US military, since we came here at the turn of the 20th century.
@@jonanthanenriquez8488 LOL Shut your bitch ass up having to be told 24/7 what to do like a little kid. If I can play army for only a few days and do the exact same shit as regular army (pt, MOS duty, cross MOS training, rifle qual, the list goes on) while also maintaining a civilian career and college/secondary education, I think I have a bit more sway than the 4 year and out infantryman who gave up on his ambitions in life.
Damn those 76ers must be super strong to rip through his dreads.
I was 3rd batt kilo in Marine Corps, Parris Island 2006. Man I would have loved to see them film ours but it wouldn't have been allowed. lol I had 2 pairs of glasses(bcgs) broke off my face both from DI hitting me in the face with a full canteen full swing. We had many incidents of recruits getting hit just about daily. Even got locked in a storage closest in the dark for over 15 hours with no food or water until all of a sudden Military Police let me and the other out as we see our Killhat in handcuffs. I'd say this would definitely be a more preferable Bootcamp to attend. I remember my family saying after I graduated bootcamp "see I told you to go Army instead". lol
Army was doing the same shit in 2006 lol. It's different times for sure
thinking about doing this for my junior year of highschool to freshman year of college. Part time of course
I remember when my recruiter was talking about the phases and as soon as she said blue phase, I just said “yuh yuh” and my class burst out laughing along with my recruiter
Today, I have an interview with my local recruiter. I am so damn excited for that.
awesome man
How’d it go?
Literally at the airport to fort sill
Ayee go get em
Let me know how you did and if anything "strange" happens.
I went through boot camp at FLW in 1983.....I know for a fact it was harder as far as the Drill Sergeants smoking us and swearing and intimidation etc.....we were also segregated as far as females and males not bring together which was good for many reasons.....but I will say that they are getting better/more training then we got back then.....
I’ve watched buds or navy seal training, and thought about going to be a navy seal, then watched marine training and now this and this looks like cake work compared to the other 2
It may not be as hard as Marines or BUDs but I assure you it's still challenging. If you're not prepared before I assure you, you have a higher chance of being Recycled or Chaptered out.
You still want to be in somewhat shape before BCT. Just a recommendation, no matter how tough you maybe, the Drill Sargents will always put the fear of God in you whether you think so or not.
Though I will admit, as time passes they begin to lay off abit, until the real challenge comes when it's the Forge with around 40 miles of marching and a week of relearning everything from the earliest to most recent.
Now like I said, it's not as hard as the marines, but it's probably a close 2nd or 3rd since Coast Guard is pretty close with the Marine's intensity if not supposively more stressful.
Also ofcourse BUDs will be waaaay harder than Army, BUDs is a selection program for special forces training. Completely different from the US Army. The US Army is just trying to see who the hell won't be a danger to others or who won't give up.
It maybe a "cake walk" COMPARED to the Marines, but I assure you it's NOT easy. You have to have and always hold your reason on why you're there or you'll break down and give up.
Though I haven't been to BCT since around a year ago, I'm not sure, I don't think they even have Shark Attacks anymore. At least when I was in I had somewhat of a Shark Attack I mean you get screamed and but never physically touched.
The Army maybe getting abit easier since the 1970s but I assure you, not everyone is made to join the Army. In conclusion it may not be as hard or rigorous as Marines or BUDs but it can still suck abit.
I'm just saying man, don't say it's easy because no military training is easy. Even the AirForce is difficult mentally/thinking wise. No training is a "Cake Walk." All training is for a specific purpose and goal, it just depends on you as a purpose and your reason to reach the goal of their training.
Now personally, I think ANYONE CAN do it, though, it's up to the person. This is nothing against you or anything I'm just letting you know, it looks easy from watching a video, but it's different when you're there.
signing the paperwork tomorrow, boys.
Makes the advertisement so badass so you can join.
fort jackson for me. cant wait to get out of new york and this cold weather lol
I honestly think the National Guard should become its own branch.
Why?
It is 😂
It is
It already is separate from the army.
@@Bennahr_Fett no its not its a reserve unit of the army
Pure honesty.. I’m 35, in 10 months I won’t be allowed since I’m too old. This decision has crept closer to my heart everyday. A lot of my family has served and that’s important to me. Big difference is I’m already established with a career, I would be going solely for my family..
I would go
Dude it’s one year over the age cutoff, there’s waivers for everything do it . At least try and chat with a recruiter, 35-36 that’s still young!!
I thought I was too old at 21, but found out its probably one of the best ages to join. Not too young, not too old and already have some life experience to assist you through.
I always wanted to be soldier, Marine, sailor, airmen or whatever since I was a kid. I didn’t want to be 60 coming down on the closing decades of my life feeling regret for not executing on my potential when I was younger.
You can get a waiver signed up unti 40 years old, talk to a recruiter
5 more days! MOS 11 bravo
Let me know how things went. When you come back
I am 18 and currently a senior, I weigh 130 and thinking about joining right after high school so they can help pay for college and yeah there is a lot of people who are telling me to not do it but I feel as if I’m being called to do this.
i leave for basic aug 15. never been more nervous for something 😳
You will be but trust me it's not as bad as you think. Try to have the creed down and the 3 general orders much as you can before you leave.
UPDATEE
Nvm ur 2 months in😭 ik them 2 months been feelin long asf

how many push ups do you need per minute?
8Jallin no clue
HeatNation954 you need to be able to do 13-18 push-ups and sit-ups at the start of basic training
Matthew Rowley tbh i know this is an old comment but now im doin over 20+ plus a day but not consecutively lol
HeatNation954 just keep it up and you'll be fine at basic
3:41 that fly gonna violate they face.

Havent signed up yet. Waiting for a DEP discharge from a marine recruiter. Once its through ill be good to go!
anangelsstar how did they take it when you decided to change to another branch?
What they don’t tell you is that after the event is over which lasts about an hour, we sleep for the rest of the day and have days with a lot of white space in which we do “Weapons Maintenance” which only lasts 30 mins, Having the rest of the day to sleep low key.
Seriously? How much is spent training?
@Nick Vitale damn, I’m thinking of joining part time
@@sadginger4924 Naw i ain’t lying. ONE day of the week during blue phase and during the 249 240 later on We do a Qual, if you pass you don’t do shit but sit on the bleachers the rest of the day. The rest of the week we don’t do shit maybe some bullshit marching. Barely got out of Basic, OSUT and all that bs few months ago. Shits boring but game me the best naps of my life. Weapons maintenance and cleaning the bay but that shit does not take all day just a few mins. We don’t do shit at all the rest of the day. Marching is disgustingly overrated.

how is going everything

Oh boy, the Standard Issue boots. Everybody's worst nightmare.
I still feel like the marines is the toughest branch

This looks fun cannot wait until June to ship out
gl gang i ship out in july
I can barely do 2 push up last time now I've can do 20 😂
Basic training for the guard is no different than the regular in fact you train with the regular army only way the they know your Ng is when you sign for chow. The state pays for this!.
Anyone else enlisting soon?
