As a military vet I appreciate the whole "on your feet" thing he did then told him to pay attention and never anticipate. That's some crucial shit there especially under stress.
I'm pretty sure trooper Fox was a Marine. My DI's were just like that.
@@Chazz_US_Marine Being from PA, I've always heard most state troopers were former Marines.
@@VL1975 - Nah. I don't think the troopers like crayons!
So what does that mean in context
Yea but at least we in the military my have been under some stress, but a state trooper what stress do they have, no donuts, coffee cold? They are at least the ones in NY State little more then meter maid driving I87 etc handing out tickets. Never firing their weapon except at the range.
Guys don’t feel bad about me being yelled at lol also glad you all are enjoying these!
Which hill did you like the most front or back? Also no parades are ever conducted on the parade field.
@@MS-jk6gj definitely the front. Probably because I was fresh. The last hill was brutal
Ten points for going through this style of training, especially one year after leaving the military.
If they are not yelling at you, then youre doing something wrong.....old saying in the military.
@@MS-jk6gj I had a love/hate with the back hill lol so it was probably my favorite. Front hill I just plain hated
I love that he takes it seriously and not like a joke like other you tubers
It’s all a big game and once you’ve been through it once it doesn’t really work as well the second time around. You can even see a smirk on his face at 7:22.
Keanu shredding on Taran Tactical was some serious business. if you think this was good, you should go check that out
Props to the Cameraman for running the four-mile with Austen while carrying the camera 🤣
He had to be a Maury cameraman previously lol
"you're handsome I'll give you that" Austin's smirk was priceless HAHAH
I bet you he didn't feel like smirking a second earlier when the instructor said "stay on your feet" and Austin started down :)
hahaha
reminds me of gomer pyle in full metal jacket
That whas really funny
That's very sick and disgusting.
His face when one of the drill Sergeant said get on your feet but he was already standing up lol
He got me and I was trying so hard not to laugh haha
As a graduate of three different law enforcement academies in two states -- including the the Delaware State Police academy -- I commend you for creating this video and the good job you did!
cops are on steroids
The room inspection is always wrong they just use that as an excuse to punish you
@@Mcnabb-mtb yup
A teacher I knew said one of her 6th grade students went through the Delaware State Police Academy for her summer project. The little girl was able to graduate in the top 5,% of the class.
I almost thought about being in a cop but then I realized I can literally do anything else in this world so I got into legal weed and now I'm retired at 35 while my stepdaughter calls me father, oh by the way her actual dad is a state trooper for Denver
I am starting my 26th year with a state police agency. I completed a 26 week academy. You will have some great memories from the experience. Try to find the humor in your current situation. Become a good listener. Learn to write well. Listen to your tactical and range instructors. What they teach you WILL save your life. Train like it's for real because someday it will be. Treat people how you want to be treated. Have fun. The time will fly by. You are going to see a lot of bad things so don't neglect your mental health.
Glorified traffic cops
@@Loveamorjesus State police agencies are usually full service. That means they do the exact same thing as regular cops just on a larger level.
Love the fact that they scream their heads off but you can tell they want you to succeed. “You failed but you will get better. Is that understood?”
This is insane. I can understand why Austen was in a daze at how similar it was to boot camp. There are things that are standard across all branches. Serving in the Army. Watching this was like de ja vu.
Semper Fi!! Lovin' every minute of it!!
But to be honest - why is this necessary for someone that wants to work in police?
I get that discipline is important but that can be tought in other ways.
I would agree that police service can be stressful, but do those cadets really need the same (or similar) treatment as someone who will go into combat overseas?
Police service should not be seen as combat or military in my opinion. They are directly serving the public, their fellow citizens - they work for AND with them every day.
For comparison:
Initial local police training in Germany is 2,5 or 3 years - which mostly is classroom training (looots of laws to learn...)
After years you will rank up and/or go (if you want) into other branches like our the local SEK teams (SWAT equivalent).
For that you need a couple years of service on your belt and it comes - surprise - with about 6 months additional training.
Or you could start in our federal police (Bundespolizei), where your initial training is also 2,5 or 3 years.
There you could end up in one of the worlds most known (non-military) special units, the GSG 9.
I know that crimes in Germany are different to the USA - but still - in 2019 police in Germany fired 62 rounds, 15 of them deadly. That's in a country with a population of 82 Million people.
I was not able to find a similar statistic for the U.S. - but I assume those numbers are way higher.
@@marcel1416 which part don't you understand? The yelling, physical, or what?
@@ADSF5830 The psychological stress they are inducing is what I don't get - in a way of using drill sergeant techniques.
I don't have studies for that, but I would assume training stress resistance would be more efficient if trained in a realistic environment. If that happens later in training - fine - but still why do you have to drill a police cadet like that...
Your trainers will also check your room for cleanliness etc. in police school in Germany. If your bed sheets are not tucked in correctly they won't yell at you - they will talk to you more in a way a parent would and expect you to do better.
If you don't do better next time, there will be disciplinary steps in form of conversations, remarks in your file that could cause failing the next test and in the end - termination if you are deemed unfit.
It's pretty much school, for grown ups/young adults, which requires a lot of discipline and professionalism.
@@marcel1416 well typically it starts off pretty tough and as the class progresses, they develop into more of an adult learning environment. But the yelling, stress, etc helps to condition the recruits to deal with people yelling at you and being in stressful situations. The key though is to build them up and to build confidence in them.
As one sailor to another, Seeing how much your channel has grown over the years makes me extremely proud! Good Stuff Man!
Hi Austen . Big fan here . As you already know police academy is 90 % mental 10 % physical. As long you keep going and don’t quit , you will make it . From a proud Officer ; Congratulations bro !
OHHHHH EP 3 CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Alexander thank u so much for doing this i plan on becoming a police officer and will finally start applying next year this series has shown me what to expect for the Academy
You handled that situation pretty well, Austin. Also props to the state troopers for keeping it professional.
so glad to see your growth. I remember seeing you and following you making your first few videos. Youve made it brother!
Entered Connecticut State Police academy 03:08/1993 28 weeks later we graduated 33 Troopers. It was like this video until the night before graduation. We went from 10 push-ups for a violation to 100. By week 24 most of us had at least 200 push-ups to do before 10pm that was not included in the normal PT sessions. And they are correct everything is done for a reason which realize within 3 months of graduating. CSP academy is now 34 weeks. Loved the Academy
“You hear that ping? That’s accuracy. Yeah 😎” 😂😂 every video keeps getting better!!! Favorite YT channel by far
THANK YOUUUUU!
Lol please cco..red dots it's so much easier than iron sights
When you go through the Marines, this is like a Bob Ross school with their yelling.
You’ll be surprised how hard it is. The yelling isn’t as bad as bootcamp but everything else is actually harder or just as hard. PT itself was actually harder than bootcamp and “IT” sessions were too actually except they weren’t called that
PT is harder, classes are way harder, room inspections were just as tough or worse, still got your shit thrown and that’s including racks and literally everything, shave everyday. This is VA state police and in many ways harder
@@eliasvillatoro958 yeah I feel like pt was definitely harder when I hit the fleet.
Big difference is you have to have an IQ over 60 to be a Trooper.... unlike the Marines. Marines..... Sailors who can't swim!
@@eliasvillatoro958 I’m a vet, I learned that nothing is “hard” only a challenge but not hard, that’s weak to me
i could tell which instructor was prior service and which one wasn’t 💀the “don’t anticipate my command” got him GOOOOODDD and that’s the guy 😂
I am already a fan but dude I'm definitely not going anywhere. I have so much respect for you doing something you didn't have to. I applaud you much much respect
this looks like a badass experience brotha - loving the episodes
Nice job. I think you’re doing a great job giving a fair representation from the 2 episodes I’ve seen so far.
USMC combat vet and 24 year PA State Trooper here retired now. The State police academy is a cake walk compared to marine corps boot camp and especially what Austen has already been through. Not too many military Troopers left anymore most are college Xbox call of duty millennials. This gave me a good chuckle.
As a USMC combat vet this made me chuckle because of how true your statement is; I’m a college PS4 millennial now
Semper fi
You're telling the absolute truth here. Semper Fi, Brother.
He didn’t say are you kidding me , he said , are you kidding him ? 😂😂😂. I like this show because he is trying to show how exactly all the instructors and trainer react to the new cadet. If I was there , it would have been devastating day for me . 😂
I’m absolutely loving seeing these inside looks of what the training is like
I feel like all DI's love yelling! Felt like I was back at the CHP Academy with all the yelling. Great video work showcasing just a peak of what it takes to become a trooper.
I wouldnt be surprised if they ever hired prior military drill instructors. That would be freaking awesome.
Some of them probably were former Drill Instructors/ Drill Sergeants
i appreciate that they said "hey you messed up a lot, and there's a reason its like this. But you did some stuff right, and you're gonna get better" something ive never seen them do at navy RTC
You getting yield at because “there is a reason” best part.
It is very so important attention to detail it has made me survive in life
"yelled" ...not 'yield' at. Pay attention to detail
I love The attitude you approach this situation. Thank you for posting.
i cant wait to see more videos from you. thank you for inspiring us everyday
Makes me feel good we have some real training for people who are in uniform. Hopefully in depth training continues past the academy
Whaaaooooo !!!!!!!!!! . It’s just like the first few days at US MILITARY BASIC TRAINING. I had my basic training at FT. L. Wood , Missouri, back in the 80s. Now, a police officer, getting ready to retire. No doubt, the military is the foundation. It sets you up for everything else to come your way later in life and how to properly handle it. The guy in this video is a Navy Veteran. We can see that he’s been through this before, so he knew how to take care of business. He did well. Screaming and all that stuff is part of the training, just to see if you can stand the pressure. At the end of the training these instructors become your best friends, almost family members. I remembered, after my training....basic training .... at FT. L. Wood , I didn’t want to go home for thanksgiving because I started enjoying everything about the place.
Loving these vids, gives a good glimpse of what this kind of training is like. Also kinda scaring me 😂 since I've been thinking about becoming a police officer in NY
Been waiting for this!! Keep up the great context Austen!
My Fire Academy looked very similar to this, except learning different things obviously. But just as intense. Structured just like boot camp.
Never realized this was like basic training for the military lol, brings me back to my For Benning days
This brings me back to those basic training memories...I love it.
Hooahhhh
Was about to say the same thing. Ft Benning Echo 1-19
The “gotcha, don’t anticipate” lmao was hilarious
The room inspection tickling tf outta me 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
I see the Angry Cops influence here. Love it haha!
He delivers another BANGER yet again! Love the content brother. Great as always. ❤️
THANK YOU! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🙏
whats english breakfast sausage have to do with a youtube video about police work. ha ha
Great videos Austen, keep them coming! Cheers from Brazil.
Having survived my Police Academy training; i can honestly say the Marine Corp. Gunny drill instructors were hilarious and could kill you with their stares!
DEVIL DOGS " B A R K I N G " 1 IN YOUR FACE , 1 BARKING IN YOUR LEFT EAR, 1 BARKING IN YOUR RIGHT EAR , DONE FOR A PURPOSE,

GETTERS !!!!!!!
Did you learn case law, state law, and how to respect civil liberties? Or do those three categories make your job harder?
Boy did this bring back memories. Great video, awesome instructors.
My nephew just graduated from NJ State trooper and is doing great!
God bless the PSP! May the coffee be hot and strong and every tour be safe and event free! In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania many communities are served and patrolled by the PSP. It's a big state with many small towns and communities.
Amen to that. I always buy whatever one of our troopers is in line to buy as a way of saying" thank you" and tell him to be safe. My neighbor is a retired State Police detective and one of the nicest I have met. Have the upmost respect for our State Police.
Super cool! Thanks for preparing me for what’s to come 🙌
Training and education you will never forget or regret.
I was in the 36th class.
I really like these videos, shows me how much more I need to get into shape if I'm gonna do this someday.
Looking forward to Part 3, Sir, Yes, Sir!
Kudos to you Austen!
As a marine corps vet. This makes me miss boot camp. Unforgettable experience
thank you for ur service. when i went threw boot camp we had the roller coaster. up and down over and over and if someone fell out we turn around and pick them up. i think most place that have boot camp have similar circumstances
Miss ? You must like being owned and told what to do
I feel like the instructors in this video were once drill instructors, or at least in the corps. Their methodology is extremely similar
Nobody misses that shit….
@@adamrasmussen1839 I don't know. There was a lot of funny shit that happened in boot camp. Like, people think I'm some compulsive liar type shit
When is ep. 3 coming? So excited about you maybe coming to Texas. And loved how you held the laughs 🤣🤣
Yes sir!! Next Sunday 🙏🙏 haha thank you
My dad always told me about that run up hill for his graduation. Seeing this makes me respect what he did alot more now
I have nothing but respect for the people who do these type of things (military, police, etc).
All state police academies are like this or at least very similar. But I attended a 800-hour county sheriff’s academy years ago and I remember PT more than anything else, lol.
That's now how civilian police should be trained.
Yup then they come out to be dicks behind the badge.If I told you what I went through with them in the 80's you would not believe me and i never drank or did drugs or talk back to them.Today I am 58 run a quarter mile in 1:12 ride bicycle with hills in 95 degree heat with high humidity 50 miles in 2 hours 5'11 140 lbs NO belly and no grey hair.95% of the police force in their twenties wish they were in the shape that I am in.
Pretty much every police academy in the U.S. bases their training off what PSP established for training a century ago.
@@markantony3875 True, although state police academies have barracks and aspects of training specific to that. Everything else is pretty similar. I remember some bits of it that absolutely sucked. It was also pretty fun.
I’m a cop you do all that pt and marching and all that . Then sit in your car for two or three hours straight and answer calls for service that typically doesn’t go hands on. Sure sometimes you gotta run , fight , shoot even but most of being a cop is problem solving and knowing how to talk to people. If you show up to a domestic acting like a damn robot your gonna escalate the situation
Seems to me, like the military all over again... Good luck to you, bro! You got this! -Air Force Veteran
Man, you’re not kidding, a lot of this reminds me of Great Lakes!
I am thinking of becoming a New Jersey State trooper and I don’t know watch this but I will so I can protect and serve.
That one drill sergeant trooper sounds like Will Ferrell it’s so funny. Especially when he says “we shave our face here” lol
Love your videos Austen! Keep it up
Oh man! They pay attention to some details there!!! 😮
Huge respect for law enforcement
I’m living vicariously through you! God Speed⚓️
3:38 if he can run like that with the tourniquet "correctly applied" then the tourniquet was most definitely NOT correctly applied. It should be so tight that you would struggle to bend your leg, since you're cuttibg off all blood flow.
This series you are doing is insanely educational for me. I’m currently studying to get my associates degree in criminology and dream of being a Game warden. I’m just not sure if I want to go federal or state level. Keep up the great work. This content is top tier.
Follow that dream! You'll do great.
That's awesome
Good for you Bladez. Keep up the hard work. You’ve got to develop an even greater tactical mindset as a Warden because nowadays you’ve got the dangerous prospect of running into illicit marijuana grows , and you’ll likely be alone (with backup FAR away) with multiple subjects even in the most routine patrol days. Seek out extra training (even if on your own time/$$$) after you are on your own…..Good luck and be safe!
good goal but depending on state you only need police academy to serve as any law enforcement officer. degrees will however aid in promotions or specializing if you want to be a criminalist doing csi work for instance
Amused at watching this video after going through Marine Boot Camp.
Good times! Much love to all police!
Bring me back to the days when I was in Fort Benning Georgia and after completing all my training jump School in a year-and-a-half later two years later I saw that drill sergeant he didn't raise his voice not one bit it felt good to treat somebody the way they treated you with little extra added on LOL
Great vids keep up the trooper vids and cool ideas like this
Great video... I love watching you get challenged. This is the best. You work so hard at everything you do 👍🙏 I miss your mustache 😥
I'm a military vet and it amazes me how closely this resembles bmt. Badass. No donuts for u guys haha. I kid.
This gave me flashbacks to air assault with the attention to detail on the equipment being laid out.
I just don't have it in me to go through another boot camp. I admire my buddies that went through trooper training after being in the Marine Corp.
I hear that, not only am I not a kid I also have a good secure job. Maybe if I really wanted the job I might feel more motivation to play the game but if a DI got in my face today I’d be like “meh ok dude” and look at my watch or something
@@mattkennedy6115 First off I went through recruit training at Parris Island second I chose to be a deputy rather than a state trooper in NC. Which still requires 4 months in BLET. My body just took too much punishment in the Marine Corp to go through another boot camp. Wtf have you done with your life Matt Kennedy to call me out?
@@franciscodarna9548 you’re coming in a little hot brother. I didn’t mean any offense. I was just agreeing with your post nothing more. I did 4 years in the Coast Guard. While not as physically demanding as the Corps our bootcamp was demanding and I don’t think I’d want to deal with that nonsense nowadays either. I’m sorry to hear you got banged up and I hope the VA is taking care of you. Be well
@@mattkennedy6115 70% VA can't complain too much
@@franciscodarna9548 aye I’m from Charlotte lol
Thank you for your videos you truly are amazing !
I was literally shocked when you those officers was instructing you and you said sir yes sir, I could cry immediately lol, I love your content thanks handsome regards from Perú🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
Cool vid. If you like getting smoked, go down to the Florida State Fire College and do at least the first three weeks of the fire program, you will understand later. It's para military fyi as well.
By the time your done with all these academies, you'll be able to get a job anywhere.
I am just a regular citizen doing average things but I want to say to anyone about to go into the academy or who is out there already patrolling, thank you so much for what you do.
Awesome Video My Friend.
The PT Regimen Isn't For Everyone.
I found that out, transitioning from the Air Force Security Forces, going through the Sheriff Academy, in Georgia.
Thanks For Making The Time And Showing Civilians what the cadets go through.
Well I mean come on…… Air Force 😂😂 we all know the Cush lives yall lead
ahaha good job Austin ! I love the sarcasm you have, nice video , keep up the good work !!
Thank you for posting, it was very helpful
been excited for this
Those instructors had me in stitches.
We have a term for those types.
Power Bottom.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
does that make the recruits power top
"ARE YOU KIDDING HIM?!?!?" reminds me of that one teachers pet making that on snarky remark to everything the teacher says lmao.
It seems that you are a very calm man when facing many things, Sir. Alex 😁💪🏻😇
Great vid! I’m looking forward to more videos like these!
Possibly SWAT TRYOUTS??
You lost all of your Navy bearing in one year, congrats dude. Love your new stuff.
Love it! Academy was some of my favorite memories looking back!
I hope they instructed you to remove your hat from your face so you could see to drive.
Tough stuff. I admire these troopers
I bet they do show the "wrong" way sometimes to one of the cadets so the others can take a lesson from it
I'm in the hiring process with Texas DPS and this was awesome and has me pumped. Great content!
Awesome, i also want to be a texas state trooper one day.
Keep your head down and you will make make it ..Expect a lot of yelling and screaming. It’s part of the training.Just stay focused. I’m an army vet. and about to retire as a police officer. I’m sure you will make it.
20 years old looking to go through Tennessee Highway Patrol. Doing some research to help me out. Thank you sir.
Don’t do it
@@christhomasism how so?
@@Pooseidon0135 bc you do all that training (not really much, like 5 months), to act like an ROTC high school loser and take your hat way too seriously. Then you sit on the side of the road pointing a little radar gun at cars that go by. Is that really what you wanna do?
If so more power to you.
@@christhomasism I think it’s much more than that. Wouldn’t that be the easiest money being on the side of the road with a radar gun? Plus, military training and being away from your family 5 - 6 days a week ain’t highschool bullshit. State troopers die to protect people like you and me. It ain’t bullshit. And yes I wouldn’t mind being a state trooper if that’s what your asking me.
@@Pooseidon0135 more power to ya man I’m just saying don’t die trying to enforce some bullshit law
That’s a better firearms course than I got at PD Academy. Of course, mine was a long time ago with a revolver (back in the 80’s). Good skills taught at this trooper academy.
Tubs of lard cosplaying drill instructors, thanks for the laughs!
I would just be laughing the whole time OMG. Reminds me of Basic Training before stuff got soft.
I used to live in PA now i live in LA. I want to become a state trooper when i turn 21 I’m 15 taking my teen cadet academy next month. I know it takes a lot of strength to do this so thank you 💙
Good luck bro!! You can do it.
Thank you very much! I’ll do whatever i can to make it. Either a state trooper or k-9 officer. I’m interested in both
i've actually been there to see a buddy graduate, took the tour, pretty cool .
when the trooper started to scream and asked austen to scream, i could not stop laughing omfg
Fun fact. I own the Pa State Police push up record. Not for most at one time, but overall for the entire 44 weeks I was there. The program is only 27 weeks long, so you do the math.
Great video! I went through the New Mexico State Police academy in 1990 and it was very intense, but it was an experience that I do not regret and I had a very rewarding career with that department. The PT was probably the worst part as I lived at near sea-level prior to attending the academy, but the NMSP academy is located in Santa Fe which is 7000 ft above sea level. I found myself gasping for air many times!
I was NMMP and Tribal police up in that area early 90s. Trained at same academy in Santa fe. Great experience but cab tell you there was lot of corruption in LE back then, lot of it.
@@levinolan636
Hey Levi,
What tribal agency did you work for? I was stationed in SF from 1990 to 2001 and worked with all of the tribal police in the SF area. I actually lived on the Nambe Pueblo for five years. Also, which NMSP district did you work with when you with NMMP?
@@SigmaSheepdog I was in District 7 Troope 7 , Santa Clara BIA , Aroma Pueblo
@@SigmaSheepdog Troope 17
@@levinolan636
That's pretty cool. We may have crossed paths at some point...maybe at Santurio in Chimayo, perhaps? I never really worked with the tribal PD's in D-7. I was crossed commissioned with San Ildefonso and Nambe PD's and also worked closely with Pojoaque, and Tesuque PD's.
Love civilian drill sergeants!!!! I'm retired from the Army and found the DIs funny tbh.
Alexander is a funny man. Get with the program! Hooah! j/k, great episode!
