The impact of this event being held on the very first day sets the foundations for the teams they will become. Day one recruits work with their Drill Sergeants to overcome an exhausting day of challenges resulting in greater cohesion!
@@GoArmyKansasCity This sounds like the same pitch that was given to me when there were shark attacks. Soldiers are going to learn to be a team regardless. This was just a dumb change of curriculum that became a waste of time. Break them down and bring up the better individual before you start making them work as a team. However, if that's how the top brass who know more than me want it than it is what it is.
@@concode102 We certainly respect your opinion! Times change as does our training. The recruits we interviewed were very happy with the experience and the Drill Sergeants commented that they were seeing much higher levels of cohesion far earlier in training that with the shark attack.
Graduated from alpha 35th a couple weeks ago and currently at airborne school, just gotta say rip to anyone who goes to alpha their first hundred yards is way more labor intensive that that plus a shark attack at the same time.

@@GoArmyKansasCity idk all 3 of my new privates have been disrespectful to leaders, are physically lacking in all ways and barely know any 10 level skills coming from BASIC training
@@AL-jj6mv What's your MOS? Did your soldiers come through the old way (Shark Attack) or the new way (1st 100 yards)? What are you doing as an NCO to train and mentor these young soldiers?
I went to Leonard Wood last Summer and my company didn’t do this until like three weeks in. I’m not sure what the shark attack was in the passed but for us we did exercises with our duffle bags for about an hour before going upstairs to get our stuff put away and get smaller some more for not doing it fast enough
Ehh whatever. A lot of people are upset over this change and I was for a bit. The whole "if I did it you have to do it too" attitude. Truth be told the hardest part of basic is the isolation, and that's never changing. These trainees will get plenty of DS saliva in their faces throughout the cycle, the shark attack wasn't even that bad.
Haha hey this was my company! After this was over I’ll never forget one of our Drill Sgts said “Don’t think because I was out here with you today motivating you means we’re fucking friends. Get the fuck upstairs.” 😂😂
@@glizzygoblin-nl2uh this was the one and only time they were ever like this throughout my time there. That being said, even at their worst it’s really not all that bad and you get used to it fast.
@@judahmetz8254 nice, how often were u actually workin on an just gettin shit on like in the movies or was there a lot of stand around wait a while then do sumin
@@glizzygoblin-nl2uh very late reply my bad. But there is a little bit of both. Red Phase is basically getting shit on but white phase is literally nothing but standing around. The Drill Sgts love to make trainees complacent by being cool for a couple days then unleashing hell out of nowhere. All in all it’s not that bad.
From what I've observed, combined with my own opinion going in at 31 (so I'm between the generations on this and the Shark Attack) it seems like the earlier generations needed something like a metaphorical slap in the face to fall in line and follow orders, but they could work together once that's successful, while the current generations need to literally be forced to work together to get the job done to learn how to be part of a team and not be conveniently lazy while others work. Both seem valuable in their own ways, but the Shark Attack seemed better for weeding out the mentally weak before even starting training. That aspect, as well as forcing class clown types to fall in line might be a bit lost without the shock and awe factor anymore. Otherwise, this is a cool change, but there definitely needs to be a disciplinary Shark Attack sort of thing for anyone not immediately following directions or who doesn't seem to take things seriously. I was afraid I would smile/smirk at someone getting berated during the Shark Attack and get berated myself, now it's like can some kid make an inappropriate joke or laugh at others despite carrying the cans? Or will they get scared straight in a way for failing to take things as seriously as they should? If they add that sort of aspect in too, the combo seems great. On its own the lesson is solid, but it seems it can be learned throughout Basic as well, while a mental toughness and obedience check seems useful on day 1. The Shark Attack also helped those who might waste time and quit later just give up day 1 without that waste of time. That said, I don't believe it's about the newer generation being soft vs the old generations. It's just a different lesson adapted to current times and perspectives.
We still have good leaders, shark attack is not needed. Edit: There's no need to be afraid, our world and population are ever changing. Do not fear change, for it is inevitable.

If it's not broke dont fix it? Seems like there are alot of changes in our military lately, especially the USMC just for the sake of change. The real test will be how these young men and women perform when it matters. I dont mean to be an A-hole about it, I just dont want to see anymore caskets covered with our flag.
Aaaaannnnnddd this is why I'm going to 75th and Ranger school I want to be pushed to my limits, I want to be hardcore and have the way of life. I don't want shit to be soft, nows not the time to be soft.
We had the chance to sit down with several of them and ask. However, you shouldn't take our word for it! Would you like us to help you find a recruiter so you can join and ask them yourself?
The times have changed, the people have changed, the Army must change. The training value from the new method has been determined to be more valuable than yelling for yelling's sake!
Training without value was replaced by training with value. The Army is moving away from the "If it was hard for me I need it to be hard for them" mentality. The people of our country have changed and grown, the Army must change and grow with them.
@@GoArmyKansasCity I feel your views ae wrong. the people of our country have become massive pussies and you're catering to them, yet they're suppose to keep our country protected? how?
Ok you can call me old fashioned like 90 percent of the old timers probably watching this delivering all kinds of close minded statements, and not to say this isn't a cool concept but here's what puzzles me and I went through in 2017 wheres the shock and awe/reality check factor? At what point is the discipline instilled? Wheres the overall message of "This is the standard and you will maintain it"? Sure I can understand the logic but the shark attack was a sure way of getting that message across loud and clear we weren't "getting yelled at just to get yelled at" we all knew there was a method to the madness. The way I see it they're gonna learn about teamwork the whole cycle, I'm not saying get rid of this like most who are stuck in the 80s to early 2000s but personally I think it needs some minor tweaks. Also did the trainees egress from a Shinook? Bc that was pretty cool
Very good points! This is the very first event of Day 1 and there is actually quite a bit that happens over the rest of the day where many of what you mentioned occurs. Just like the Shark Attack, it's only a very small portion of the Basic Training Experience. Remember to only count to three, never 4, and never count to 2 unless you are going to count on to three. Three is the number and the number shall be 3.
Holy shit, I haven't seen Holstein in a fat minute. All new DS too. No more Moresey, woods, gonzales, Paris, hicks, salas, labuda, mailloux, garab, cutsforth. Its sad to see man
I know a lot of naysayers have made their negative comments and will continue to do as such. I seriously wouldn’t want to spend my first day doing any of this.
Having witnessed it first hand and interviewed the soldiers participating personally, we know it was very well received. The soldiers were full of adrenaline and ready to jump start their Army Career!
@@nosalt2229 all soldiers join knowing that deployment is a very real possibility. It's part of the reason why volunteering to serve in the Army means so much!

This is a new Day 1 training event for Basic Training soldiers. Although it varies from unit to unit the overall theme is the same - Provide the same effect as the shark attack while providing actual training value and building the team concept. This takes roughly the first few hours of the day and if followed by many other more traditional activities.
You are not training soldiers anymore. You are training a bunch of weak individuals who will break at the first sign of stress. This generation is ruining this country every single way they can. You think Russia or China are sitting around holding trainee's hands? Weak, weak, weak. If they can't handle getting yelled at as soon as they get off a bus, how in the hell are they gonna be expected to function when when people are actually trying to kill them? Imagine if my grandfather's generation got treated with kid glove in basic training. Would D Day have even been possible? I think not. They would have just froze and died right there on the beach. Get back to training soldiers and not Survivor contestants.
Thank you for your well informed and highly valued opinion! Also if you are ready to enlist we would be happy to direct you to the closest recruiting station!

You are not training soldiers anymore. You are training a bunch of weak individuals who will break at the first sign of stress. This generation is ruining this country every single way they can. You think Russia or China are sitting around holding trainee's hands? Weak, weak, weak. If they can't handle getting yelled at as soon as they get off a bus, how in the hell are they gonna be expected to function when when people are actually trying to kill them? Imagine if my grandfather's generation got treated with kid glove in basic training. Would D Day have even been possible? I think not. They would have just froze and died right there on the beach. Get back to training soldiers and not Survivor contestants.
