I just graduated basic training 2 weeks ago I remember questioning why I’m even here and how stressful and struggling it was at first but you’ll get through it I promise you go earn your right to be called a soldier ❗️❗️❗️
what was the hardest part or parts in ur opinion ?
@@813mgs it depends on the person And the mental capacity they have but the hardest part for me in my personal experience wasn’t even the basic itself it was the being away from family but what I seen from actual basic training most people get recycled because they can’t qualify but trust and listen to your drill sergeant and you’ll be able to do it
How long does basic training last
@@natetosheisty7382 10 weeks
I graduated half a year ago , it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life but it was worth it the second I got to Don my beret and be called a soldier
That bus ride through the woods is identical to my experience at Fort Jackson 25 years ago. Heads down, eyes closed so that you have no idea what the route is from Reception to your Company area. We threw all of our bags in a pile just like you see here. When we went back to retrieve them a few hours later, it was pitch dark already. One difference though is that all our bags were exactly the same, as everything was in the big sea bags or the smaller green laundry bags. The only way to identify your bags was the black stenciled sharpies you used to write your name on. At night you can forget about locating your own bag.
When we started the shakedown, it was complete chaos because no one had their own stuff anymore. The Drill Sergeants walked up and down the rows kicking and throwing stuff all over the place. It is impossible to avoid having your issued equipment mixed up with everyone else's. But fear not, young Private. This is just the first of many situations that you will be placed in where there is no way to win. That first night is LONG, and nothing will go right. The secret is to just keep going, don't get frustrated, don't whine, don't quit. You will eventually get everything sorted out. It is an experience you will remember clearly for all your days. Within 1-2 days, things start falling into place. You are kept busy, constantly challenged, and will be bone tired by lights out. Exhaustion trumps anxiety, and you will sleep soundly when you finally get to your rack. There won't be time for pity parties or whining. Before you know it, it will all be over. You will almost certainly be stronger, more organized, and squared away in general. Good luck!
Thank you. I go to basic soon.
thank you so much for this.. I'm leaving to basic soon and your message helps a lot.
@@tlyiahtaylor2729 Best of luck to both of you. You'll spend lots of time after BCT swapping funny stories with other Soldiers about the crazy things you saw and did while you were there.
tips on sleeping? lol i’m used to a fan. & i’m sure they were way more tough back in the day. it definitely looks softened up.
tips on the transition in general im 25. not 18 anymore. attached to home. don’t wanna shave lol don’t wanna be bald. don’t wanna a lot. but i know it’ll be good for me in the end. and afraid to leave home and have to make new friends etc. active duty.
My Dad was in the Army. He told me that they will have you do push-ups, sit-ups and alot of running. They will yell in your face, but that's to make you tough and strong. Also you do alot of marching and drills. He also told me that the tear gas thing aint no joke.😆 Rest forever Daddy.❤️😇
Daddy ayo
@@mylameusername1890Stop being weird.
True, my son was station at Ft. Jackson, he supposedly had went to Ft. Benning, don't know what happened on that part but, love it there.
@@mylameusername1890Most people who dont call there daddy "daddy" grew up in a more... modern time (you arent old)

Great advices: 1.) Avoid creating unwanted attention. 2.) Observe everything around. 3.) Be a team player. 4.) Don't quit / Never give up.

This brings back memories, I did my basic at Jackson almost 30 yrs ago! At the moment, you'll think its the hardest thing in the world....looking bk on it & watching this video, I just LOL. Proud of these Warriors, they'll always have a upper hand on the majority of society that can't handle hard times! Hooah!!
Yeah looking back on it, it was not that hard. Just a new experience.
I graduated from basic in November, seeing them struggle brings back memories. It’s difficult in the moment but when you realize you did all of that, it’s funny. My recruiters weren’t lying when they say it’d be hard but when your done with everything it’s fun
Totality agree. It's hard and army show you the potential you have.
I’m thinking of going to the army. Any advice you mind sharing?
@@shroomsded the only tip I can give you is, when you think you can’t do it, yes you can, you can absolutely do it. I’m a pretty small female and I knew like 3 people that dropped out of basic first day and they’re much bigger than me and they just couldn’t handle the pressure. Also when the recruiters give you a packing list, don’t even buy any of those things, you’ll be able to buy socks and undergarments in basic. Don’t pack extra clothes, it’ll just be more for you to carry. In basic you won’t use your phones often but do bring a charger or even a portable charger too.
why do they asses the men and the women together?
@@shroomsded if you smoke quit.take the pain .think positive you can make it .7 weeks when I went in 1973 .there is alot of yelling .but after that it's like a regular job .but when it's all over you get the benefits. I don't pay no medical bills .I was 18 when I went in .21 when I ETS.i did not reinlist for the benefits your family will be proud of you 🇺🇸
10 months into my army career, had airborne in contract so after a long 5-month AIT and another month at jump school I'm officially at my duty station. Man, this brings back great and awful memories. What an experience!
I just passed my airborne physical at MEPS and gotta wait for a waiver to be passed since my father ordered an inhaler for me past the age of 13, passed my pulmonary function test and any breathing test showing my lungs are fine though so I just gotta get my waiver passed and wait to be told when I ship out, hoping going airborne will help me with my fear of heights and falling.
You got any tips for someone with a fear of heights, I leave for basic here soon and I got the airborne contract

Ah basic training. It gets easier day by day and you end up enjoying it when you graduate. Drill sergeants are there to help you and remember that they are also people doing their jobs.

I was drafted into the U.S.Army during the Vietnam war. Nobody failed basic training during that period, the Drill Sergeants “fixed” it so everybody graduated basic training. Uncle Sam needed body counts in the ‘Nam!
Yep....military is a numbers game.....always will be....
Graduated in 1998. Best times. I'm retired now and miss everything about being back in. Congrats to all these soldiers.

Any tips?
Bringing back old memories basic training was a once in a life time experience. In hindsight it was FUN!
Fort Polk, 1965. A bit different but still the same.
I did basic at Ft. Jackson in 1980. We didn't get an indoor graduation, ours was outdoors. Less than an hour after graduation I was on a bus headed for Ft. Gordon for AIT.
I was there 4 years later.
Ft Jackson 1980 Graduated outdoors and walked to AIT Charlie 12-1
I went through Basic Training over 40 years ago when they still did the "shark attack" or as we called it "Shock Treatment" and I still vividly remember that bus ride, and the dash to get off the bus...you didn't want to be the last guy off the bus. I was the guy that unfortunately (for me, at least) stepped on the DS boots while exiting the bus...I mean he was standing right there... Thankfully I was not last off the bus too...That day and the weeks that followed are forever etched in my mind and made me the man I am today. God Bless The US Army and the dedicated men and women who serve to protect America...."THIS WE'LL DEFEND"
to anyone who is interested:
the reason trainees flap their arms like a bird after going through the gas chamber, is because its not actually a gas. its more like a powder, and is activated by moisture. you stand in the chamber and perform various exercises to produce sweat that activates it. it feels like a bad sunburn. from there, the drill will go to each individual tell them to remove their mask, and breathe in, or sometimes receite the soldiers creed. when you are leaving, flapping your arms knocks all the loose powders off of your clothes. you dont want to get back to the bay and have that powder get on your bed or other uniforms.
Better than axe body spray
@@bill_thesciguy😆
WRONGO!
They make you flap your arms because the natural reaction is to rub your eye which makes it worse. Drink the Kool aid more boot. There's no stupid powder on your fucking uniform. JFC..... It is a mind game designed to control stupid people.
Now it might not be a "gas" now but in 1967 it was CS gas for the first part and REAL Chlorine gas for the second part! Things have changed for the worse since then!!!
Funny, they told us to do it, we didn't care why, we just did what we were told.
Thank you for sharing. I'm not a soldier but before getting into this you really have to prepare yourself to this tough training and yelling. My kid was trained there long ago. Now he wanted to renew his contract. Thank you all for your sacrifices and service to the country. I grew up in the Pacific that we've been occupied 3x. ROTC was mandatory from high school to college in preparation for any threats to our islands which is a hot spot then and now. You all should be proud of yourselves. This only train you as a soldier but a better, tough person.
So true
Not only is my drill sergeant in this but my battle buddys from 2-13th who I just graduated with are here in this video to crazy to think we’re already through
I go to take my test Monday and watching these videos makes me so more excited to go to the reserves ❤
Good luck love 🥳❤️ Hoping to follow you and see how your journey goes! Leaving for basic training soon as well!
Go active or go home.
@@armybeef68chill bro
@armybeef68 why such toxic coming from you?! Unless you just evil and a narcissists,..troll
@@armybeef68here comes the military nerd 🤓
Looks like there are major changes to combatives. This looks much more practical and useful than the old program of Brazilian jiu jujitsu. I was level 2 certified but I actually hated the Army combatives program back then, waaaay too technique oriented and complicated and of little combat use. Glad to see this.
Lol they need more judo & wrestling implemented as well as proper jiu jitsu. Way too much smiling.
I love the fact that they have buses. Does anyone remember the cattle car days? With all you gear on those things? It was terrible and one of my best memories.
The cattle cars were the worst man 😂 such a pain in the ass. But won’t take back the memories of those for anything
We came in on a bus, no ducking our heads though. After 3 days of in processing we got on a cattle truck to go to the barracks
That caught my eye too lol. That and the chick crying while low crawling
Didn't have to close your eyes in those cattle cars, packed in like sardines.lol. 1979
The cattle cars still exist, fort Leonard wood has tons of them
Don’t think of it as boot camp just think of it as the best 3 months of your life. If I could do boot camp all over again I’d do it.
looked like 15 minutes
Yea, don't think of it as Boot Camp, because it's called BASIC TRAINING.
@@armybeef68 same shit
Better than falling into drugs and doing nothing with your life.
This seems very relaxed from when I was in. I remember everyone getting yelled at to move faster.
I was prior Navy, 10.5 yrs out. Reenlisted Army 37F mos. I went through WTC in NM and WSMR. I think its bullshit they didnt have us go through basic again. It would have been a HUGE BENEFIT to us going back into service with so many years out. I love my Navy! I love my Army! AATW!
I was a Drill Sergeant in the early 1970’s at Fort Jackson. Times have changed
It lacks the intensity now which is unfortunate
They sure have. C-6-2, OCT 1977--DEC 1977.
@@2AGunnerthe batallion I was at in Jackson august 2021 was pretty high speed, at least a lot more intense compared to these videos I see
My son is currently going through basic at FJ. If you would take a moment to explain how different it is, I'd appreciate it.
@@jamestodd945 How they train the troops is not as intense and combat focused as it used to be. And it is only getting softer with the new generation always getting offended. When I was in basic in 2015 we were only allowed to do corrective training (when troops make a mistake) for a short time because they didn’t want us to fall out, back in the days from what I have been told it was a lot more then around 20 minutes of corrective training, a friend of mine recently graduated and told me they hardly ever did corrective training, just verbal instruction on what not to do, they no longer have the shark attack on your first day because they didn’t want to stress out the new recruits.
I wish there weren't an age limit this actually looks really fun to me ,I'm 43 and still do a 12 mile ruck every friday and work out just for fun,mainly because I have no friends 😄
There's waivers. I went through basic and ait with a guy who was 45 and he did better than half of the soldiers there.
@@Silent-sm3lq I didnt know that so I'll definitely check into it, thanks
During War time it's all men 18 to 65 years of age. Just wait for WW3. lol
There's a way for you to enlist. Go for it.
Really wished it did not look like Fun!
I leave for bct in 6 days so watching this is surreal. Cant wait for this journey.

Awesome. Although I noticed things have changed a bit !!! 😂. I was at Jackson in 97 and my father also went to Basic there !!!! 🎉🎉. Our experience had a bit more yelling and cursing. 😂. Things deff have changed. Cool to see the old Fort again !!! It still looks the same as it always has !!!! 🫡
I was in this video at Ft Jackson boarding the bus. They cussed us the hell out. They had females wanting to quit. We got smoked for 7 weeks nonstop. Charlie 2-13 BN was no joke. We was in blue phase here . We just rucked backed finished the forge, Nick at Night, etc. DS Andah, DS Wood, and DS Allred meant business.
Man, I miss the army, but I served my time and congratulated the future brother and sisters to graduate honorable in the army. Keep your chin high and push through hoah
May God, protect and keep them all under His wings🙏🙏
I love watching these videos. They remind me of going through this at Jackson too back in '96
I graduated in 1985 from US Army Basic Combat Training. I don’t remember the battalion was that I was assigned to but I do remember that I was in Delta, we called ourselves the Delta Diamondbacks. I remember Drill Sergeant Campbell and Drill Sergeant McCoy. I generally have positive memories of my time there.
1985 for me too, Fort Leonard Wood
That's right, you may not remember the battalion, but you'll always remember the Drill Sergeants.
Drop for forgetting you twit...
I loved and hated Fort Jackson, I loved the training especially since the gas chamber was my favorite part of BCT, and NIC, possibly a good majorities favorite was NIC. I went to Jackson in January this year and graduated from 165th E company 3-34, white phase for my platoon blows because we didn't have drill sergeants and the other drill sergeants weren't there to train my platoon along side my former SDS became the 1st Sgt, however I enjoyed my time at Fort Jackson despite the amount of sand trails we have dealt with but I was happy to be there for BCT
I was Alpha 3-39 4th Platoon Spartans. I'll be reenlisting, final meps on the 6th
Do they still do the shark attack there or not?
@@FrauWilhelmKlinkI think they did away with that.

Yea I definitely joined the wrong branch, I’m currently a sailor in the Navy. Nothing against being a sailor, just being a soldier sparks a fire in my heart.

I was Navy, I'll always remember the confidence chamber, they said I had a good seal, I was in the back row, I got hit with 3 tabs.... I thought I was going to die. The confidence chamber is great if you have the crud because it will clear you out.
ah, yes, the confidence chamber. Our drill sergeants were nice enough to give us all the moonpies we can eat. luckily, i declined. Unfortunately, there were a few that didn't know.
@@kolpants haha the seal candidates and the section leaders in my division had to put in the chamber after we were done
Damn no way to avoid the gas chamber huh? I'm 31 so it's either Army or Navy for me. I figure the Navy has a shorter easier boot camp but I can't swim. The Army has 22 week boot camp which is the longest and probably 2nd toughest other than Marines lol

Thank you for your service to this Great Nation!
I Graduated Ft Jackson 1975. Had the best time of my life it was fkn Tough loved every minute of it. guard duty was awesome, beer machines on every other corner. K P to... all the food i could eat.. drill sergeants a hell of a lot tougher then
I can confirm. I went there for basic and I'm almost done with my AIT
I remember DS Kirkland, I just graduated from his class just a year ago. We never got to do combatives much but I'll always remeber his artillery cadences hahaha D Co 2-39
When I was on the trail, I loved to see how many I could make cry.
I graduated Jackson August 30th, 1990. Halfway through, Iraq invaded Kuwait, and suddenly, everything got real.
I graduated roughly the same time, was unlucky enough to be in the old white world war 2 barracks. :(
Obstacle courses are such a small small part of BCT. We only did about 2 obstacle courses throughout our entire 10 weeks. Loved it though... cadences, rucks, and the field exercises were my favorite part. To be honest though the majority of my BCT was just standing around waiting for something to happen and/or get done lol
stand in line while 300 people need to be issued a piece of gear for thursdays event. then on friday stand in line so 300 people can turn in their gear... yeah, and dont forget to either shut up or push up
Man you guys were standing most of the time not front leaning rest like bravo
Thank you for your dedication to this great nation 🇺🇸. Congratulations!
Brings back memories. I was D Co 2/60th back in 2001. The good ol days :)
thank you we believe in you all!!!
I know this is not shark attack but at least the sergeants are yelling at the reccruits and that brings military vibes.
It's not that they got rid of the yelling in boot camp, Shark Attack came around during the Vietnam War because there were so many unwilling conscripts during that time. They replaced it with team coordination exercises.
I guess it's an unfortunate time to do so with all the woke shit going on so it was perceived as a way to baby recruits.
Fort Leonard Wood July 1984 12C. I can honestly say I had a blast...except marching out to the bridge building range in MOPP level 4. I had no idea you could sweat that much.
Nice barracks. In 1966 I lived in a tent for basic at Ft Jackson F-1-1 Tent City
Relaxin jackson. I graduated from there in '18. It's cool until it gets cold and windy lol

Just listen to your drill sergeants, they will not fail you. Do not get caught up in the nonsense in the barracks.
This seems so laid back compared to USMC basic (went through in 2003). Joining the Army Reserve now and have to go back to basic since I've been out for so long so seeing that has been reassuring (I'm too old for USMC-style BS).
I'm going back in as well, except from active duty air force to army guard. I have to go back through basic as well and it blows my mind how relaxed everything seems even compared to when I went through Air Force basic.
So up the standard in intensity and plow through the obstacle courses. Im enlisting at 42 as new recruit 💥
It's USMC BOOT, not basic, you boot.
Thank you all ford you on great sow see film videos very good today💕✌️
2003 basic training Fort Jackson was the best experience of my life Thank you Drill Sgt Henry.

The best days of my life at 18 was at fort Campbell KY 1979 ❤️
I got there in April 1980, Went to Ft.Polk for AIT June 1980.
Heading to Fort Jackson for BT in 3 weeks!! Super pumped !!
I can hear Drill SGT Hubbard's voice in the beginning!! she was such a dope Drill... She really cared for us or at least I think she did haha
Served: 1989 - 2014. Wow! How times have changed.
What changed?
We still need to find a way to convince them to force the military to switch over to skirts to confuse the enemy into thinking their woman or Scottish.
This reminds me of my time in the military basic training then I went on to join the 75th rangers 2bn all inspired by my older brother a Vietnam vet 2 tours go young men go
Damn did basic here in 2022 and shit I thought I had it easy. My drills just gave no fucks about us but these guys getting encouragement during the obstacle course is hilarious

Do it ACTIVE DUTY no weekend warrior stuff. Do it
first things first thank you for your service battle buddies Hooooooooah!

Joined back in 2005 im ready to retire had a great career and worked with alot of good people
Going to Fort Jackson in April very excited 😅
For those shipping off to basic training, BCT is about attention to detail. When your drill sergeant says half right face make sure you don’t move and be still as possible and sound off with a loud and thunderous “Can’t smoke a rock drill sergeant!” This shows that you are paying attention and that you’ve read your study material your recruiter gave you. When marching to and from the dfac make sure you leave your weapon secured in your bay because your not allowed to be out in public with it, a lot of trainees make the mistake of bringing it and get smoked for it, but if you don’t bring yours you won’t have to do push-ups, just make sure to sound off with a loud and thunderous “can’t smoke a rock drill sergeant!” And you’ll be excused from smoke sessions.
Thank you very much 🎊 🎉
Once the shark attack ended at my training post, the drill sergeants became more like mentors
outsiders are complaining that drill sgts are being soft by not yelling constantly, but after red phase its less yelling and more focus on teaching. We arent marines that have to yell every single second like frat boys.
They still happen, just not out of the barracks.
@@boeuf-in9oeyou’re exactly the reason why the military has gotten soft. Bunch of people easily offended by a persons loud voice. You think the enemy is going to talk nicely and respectful to you when you’re out there and it’s just you and him? The military needs to stop catering to these sissy boys and remember ain’t no room for weakness out there on the field.

This time in 1986, I had just started basic training at Ft. Jackson. I arrived at the reception station on July 2. Delta 2-1-1, Hollywood. I remember my drill Sargeants and the guys in my platoon as if it were yesterday. Hot, Hot, Hot.
I was there two years before you. I wish I could go back and walk around there , see if I could find my old barracks . As I remember it, we weren’t far from victory tower
👏👏👏👏👏 u guy's ROCK.
DS Kirkland with that Pre Jump voice! 🫡🫡🫡 Good to see you brother!
Went through there back in 2008, good times.
Same here! September 2008 start.
I remember more of a sense of urgency back in the day
There is but the drills need to make the push a lot of times.
Relaxin Jackson...always wanted to see some trainees from their
i used to to Fort Benning for Infantryman training, 16 weeks. It was hell at first, but after a few weeks, its better. But, after i report to my unit 10th Moutain at Fort Polk, LA. things change a lot, and even more when i was deployed to Afghanistan (one of the most dangerous in Afghanistan at that time.
Now I see why they call it relaxin Jackson! 😂 When our DI’s picked us up from receiving it was in cattle cars, no bus. And they made us bury our face in our bags so we had no idea where we was.
We've not taught combative movements like those on this video. Totally different, I wish we could learn these moves.
@@user-qg3nj1sv8j This is in Jackson tho.
From someone who trained mma those “ combat moves” wouldn’t work on my 10 year old nephew they need ALOT of work
I’m not gonna lie most of that wouldn’t work. The Thai clinch (the knees) could be effective tho
