As a reservist, “the I haven’t seen the 1st sgt all year” is the most relatable quote I have ever heard💀💀
Especially the CO.
Seriously?!?!?! Lmfao. I've been guard for 8 years. PLENTY of jokes to make out the nasty girls but never been without a 1SG. Sometimes the old and new at the same time. >.
This had me dying! 🤣 too true!
I unfortunately saw mine more than I wanted
Oh I can't stop it from Applebee's I can't contest to some of this and yes that's how they operate
"We have to spend the funds to get more funds". So much truth in this video!🤣🤣
I remember shooting the 249 for hours because of that reason
Government budgeting in general. Like my highschool doesn't just get a lump sum of money that it divies out. Each section has its own budget, and if it doesn't use it all, the budget gets cut the next year (since they don't need all of it). shitty thing was that the potential money saved from other sections of the school wouldn't be re-routed to a section that needed more funds, they just straight up lost it. This lead to some weird situations where the smaller shop classes (wood working/mechanics) got brand new tools/supplies every year, while general ed classes (science, math, English) were using 15 year old material, and teachers had to buy stuff out of pocket to make up missing supplies.
@@RobRamirez456 We would all have bloody fingers from loading magazines, M9, M4 then an hour of picking up brass, reload, pickup brass whole fucking weekend.
I threw out year old welders, plasma cutters, craftsman tool chests loaded with every tool under the sun, and a lot worse. Every single year. That Air Force budget be flush and daddy LT don’t want a single penny less.
Government 101
I gotta say, it was super weird going from active duty to the reserves. Everyone was really polite, no one once called my mouth a cock holster, and they cared about how we felt about our commanders.
So it was a good transition then.
@@VastGameMaster no, I hated it. It felt like going from raw dogging to wearing several layers of condoms.
Lmao@ cock holster!
Hahaha

It really sucks when your unit is filled with shitbags and you realize that if combat does break out, you're 110% going to die.
"We gotta deploy to get the sd."
"Sd?"
"Yea? Pt-sd."
I shit..currently doing laundry.
Ok good for you white boy
@@randychampion2137 how tf you look my dad's black 😂💀✌
I'm crying...
Hilarious 😂🤣😂
I broke when he asked "You guys do PT right?" "Physical Therapy?" 🤣
no.. the VA said you got to deploy to get the SD on the end lol
PT is Physical Traning. but i think you already know that. just pointing out the obvious is what im doing.
Ive served several tours all over, Mogadishu, Iraq, Afghan, Russia then my mom tells me to turn off the Xbox and go to bed....but when she leave, I redeploy.
🤣🤣🤣
Lmaof
Good one 👍
Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha
"Oh no, we don't bring weapons to the range, its more like a pot luck... Barbecue..."
Epic
Fucking tears! 😂
"We have balloons."
Can a reservist confirm this lol. Please tell me this is true
@@Harz42 I indeed was a reservist, although never went to the range with them. I am assuming weapons would be brought to the range!

That killed me
It be like that sometimes
I was an ctive duty 11B transitioned to Washington Nat. Guard 19K M1 Abrams tanker in the 1990's. Unit was for the most part professional, but it never ceased to amaze me that some of the tank commanders that have been driving around Yakima Firing Center for their entire 10 to 15 year career still got lost out there every drill. None of the former USAF or Navy we had could land nav worth a shit. On the fun side two tanks I crewed with were all former active duty; one of these tanks I was on had a former active USMC captain and the rest were former Ranger batallion guys - that tank charged headfirst into everything! The all-Navy M1 Abrams took time to get used to all of the Navy ship slang and traditions used on an Army tank - a ship hull number and ship name painted on side, everything was port & starboard, and the saluting and requesting permission to climb aboard the tank??!? lol
Thats the most squid shit ever.
It's amazing how many Batt-Boys you run into outside of the Army. So weird considering there are three battalions in the *ENTIRE* Army. I guess when they ETS, they must clone them to a factor of 1,000 or more. Otherwise, how can so many be stationed in EVERY Guard, Reserve, gun shops, malls etc.
Ah good old YTC. Don’t miss that place
LOL
@@hansangb , Division has a Ranger Program. You go through it, you get a Tab. So, odds are many of the "Batt-boys" you see, actually have never been to a Ranger battalion. If you do not know what "Division" is, there is really only one. The 82nd Airborne Division. AATW
As a former Staff Sergeant: this is not satire.
I believe it!
Fu. Sr
Um well in my years of service my two units were not like this at all. But they were mp and arty.
So as a Staff Sergeant... you do know that a larger than average number of Staff Sergeants are phantom shitters.
Agreed. This is ridiculously accurate
The range is like a potluck comment is so accurate. In the guard you would see TVs in the field for football season, personal tents, grills whatever.
I wish it was like that for us
@@kirby408 i was in a FSC unit so we were logistics/support for an artillery battalion and we spent like 3 or 4 drills a year in the "field". Sometimes we would sleep legit in the back of trucks other times people would have tents sometimes we slept at the motor pool under the maintenance tent. All kinds of things took place.
@Chris Thomas its funny how much alcohol made it to the field when there was none "allowed " to be transported on military vehicles
I should’ve went reserve fuck active duty I think I’m still constipated from that mre burger and cheese spread
My first drill: I have water survival and and a paintball war. It was a blast until I got home and saw the big ass bruise on my leg from the paintball.
Angry cops needs to weigh in on this. The SD at the end had me howling.
I second this @angrycops
@Romanogers4ever yusha tomas
Agreeed thatd be too funny
Angry Cops is a Nasty Girl and a Drill Sergeant so he might blow a gasket XD
@@lonewolf031 nah, he's cool. Besides he doesn't blow anything. NG, DS check. But no Navy.
I was a SGT and transferred to NG and my platoon sgt was introducing me to some of the other soldiers and this PV2 was like “what good brother” and lifted his hand for a fist bump. I looked at the platoon sgt and was like “wtf did he just say to me?” And was like calm down we’re more relaxed here than you’re used to.
Opposite story for me after I got out of the training pipeline for a year. Came in as a fresh PFC, a sgt walked up to me and said the exact same words to me. Me, expecting an ass chewing, immediately stood at parade rest and stated my purpose. He gave me a weird look and told me to chill.
As a former reservist this is soon true, at one point we didn't see our commander for like 5 months
It’s gonna sound bad, but I literally have no clue what platoon I’m in or who my platoon lead is, we’ve always just had a mass formation for the Battery.
The part where they didn’t know who is in the platoon got me, it was too true.
My first year, our xo retired while I was in highschool, and no one knew for months until someone needed his signature for something 🤣
The sad part is most of that is true
That’s awesome lol
Not really. The reserves or National Guard tries too hard to be like active duty. This is a very inaccurate representation.
@@thereflexboxer2ndlt550 they try on paper but on most things they fall short, but then again not all leaders and Joe's are the same
@@dougsimpson4951 right. I was enlisted in a MP National Guard unit. They were very strict and professional. Because UCMJ still applies regardless of active reserves or National Guard. And it’s just rude seeing people saying it’s like this when in reality 90% of the time it is not. It’s just an over exaggeration. But I’m sure it varies from unit to unit. I’m currently in SMP Cadet now. In all of the units I have been with so far have all been the opposite of what this video is saying.
@@thereflexboxer2ndlt550 I served with engineers in the reserves, but before that I was Active duty with fixing tanks. Unfortunately it's there, but good for you not being around it because it just drains you. Hopefully you don't come across it.
I still remember my first Army Reserve drill after ETS-ing from 3 years active duty. I showed up with a few other recent active duty guys and we were the only ones with polished boots and pressed uniforms. We had a three day drill weekend at Camp Dawson in West Virginia and on the bus ride down, some guy got caught smoking a joint on another bus in our group which also had our unit 1Sgt onboard. I knew then the Reserves were truly different than active duty.
So was the issue he didn’t bring enough to share?
@@Cannibal_Actual depends on the MOS to be honest.
@@Cannibal_Actual Talk to a recruiter and request only 3 yrs. I didn't know about it either when I went in. My battle buddies did 3 and called me a lifer even though I did 4.
@@Cannibal_Actual
Back in my time in the mid 80's, the Army still had 6 year obligations. 3 years active, 3 years Reserve/IRR. I did 1 1/2 years active reserve then finished on IRR. Hopefully that clarifies the 3 years I mentioned in my initial post.
Aye camp dawson is a shit hole. Atleast they have a good restaurant there haha
Literally my first day at my unit I walk in and see people outside with their jackets off and I ask "oh is that allowed here?" to which they respond "idk but it's hot"
Lmao
🤣
hahahahahaha heard the same thing.
Hahaha damn.
"What was active duty like? I hear you guys, like, yelled a lot..."
😂
That was just the beginning. After boot camp you got more bullshit games while being yelled at. Watch the movie holes that’s active duty, but with screaming
I served 5 years active duty and 14 years in the National Guard and this is completely accurate. LOL
No, neither of the reservists are excessively overweight.
U got retirement??
@@lettucetomato1264 retiring in 8 months and its going to be crap but at least im out of that mess
In my experience, this is all alien. Sounds like most of my brother's deployment as Active Duty Infantry from what I heard about it.
"MRE" hahahahahaha, higher standards than the National guard even funnier, hahahahahaha
Your comment vs mine! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Reserves are all pog ass cucks, no combat mos and can’t deploy without AD unit
Only NG has combat mos right? (Seriously asking)
@@saltycelery2045 everything has combat MOS's. The NG, the reserves, and active all have to be able to deploy by themselves. I was Military Police and we are considered a combat MOS - half my unit earned Combat Action Badges.
Ranchobecko yes reserves are all non combat mos. yet AD likes them more because they can’t operate without them and depend on ad for operations overseas while guard can operate independently of AD overseas
I haven’t watched ur shit in a minute but y’all nailed this basically the same for navy and navy reserves 😭 ,, just change the in country talk to being on the ship 😂
LOL, Nothing like listening to Master Chief's sea stories with his 60 days at sea.... LOL
Shit's accurate AF. When I went from AD to SELRES I found out that there's a bunch of people in the Navy that have never even stepped foot on a ship. What the shit.
Yep Airforce here and pretty sure every unit has that one Sgt. that acts like this lol.
Don't ever compare navy and airforce to active duty infantry.
@@kevinfee6511 you are so tough and strong sorry daddy
As a reservist I can confirm this is accurate. Every bit of it.😂
I was like this could literally be my unit
Yes lol
It’s actually the opposite. Stop lying.
@@NightcoreandAnimeVideos The way they’re presenting it is very exaggerated. I know several soldiers who almost got NJP for being out of regulation. I am now currently in SMP Cadet and I I’m attached to several units at once due to split training authorization I get from ROTC as a contracted Cadet.
@@NightcoreandAnimeVideos I was enlisted for 2 years prior. But I am around both enlisted and Officer.
Four years in the Marine Corp active duty, then I transitioned into the Virginia National Guard. My first drill I walked up the sidewalk to the armory and this E2 with his hands in his pockets looks at me (I was an E5) and says- "Hey man, you got a cigarette?"

Me too. I showed up to drill with a 1st Cav patch and everyone was like, "Oh, you're one of those active guys"...
I was reservist for 6 years after active so I feel this. Lol
You mean left active and went NG? Because they’re both Army unless you went to the Air Natty Guard
As actual Veterans, you at least get some respect.

I noticed that😂
OMFG
It was halfway through the video when I noticed. It's actually kind of nice to know I've been out so long I don't automatically look at nametapes anymore.
Support guys definitely say “battle” 😂
The only battle they have seen was the guy they call battle
"High speed" "killer" "shithead" "dumbass" are the only exceptable terms
My drill sgt's in 2013 all said "battle" when talking to each other lol
My ex who became a drill sgt. After our break up went from not sayin it all to saying it to her friends . I think its the trail that did that to her
I definitely use to say battle and I was commo lol
I had a rommate from Puerto Rico who was a reservist. Man, this is so accurate he was the laziest unfit dude in the house. But when I needed help, stranded, broke, car broke down or ran outta food, he was there for me within a minute!
So not so lazy
im surprised they arnt wearing ops core helmets and crye plate carriers acting like Rangers
Don’t call my first sergeant out like that
Don’t hate on the Gucci gear my guy
Rule #1
Always look cool
"Gucci Gear" we used to call it...
Mad because reservist have real jobs that make more then 2000 a month and can afford gear that isn’t complete shit like the Iotv’s are? The army can’t afford to issue ops core or velocity systems or everyone would have it not just special operations guys. Never understood this argument.
I went active duty Marine to reservist Army...my first day...I was literally told...
"You're probably at about a 10, we're gonna need you to bring that down to about a 5, ok?" LOL
It was an interesting couple of months before I finally got used to how different it really was...
How long you been in the reserves so far since you wrote this?
Oh you were that guy 🤣🤣
Just got out of the Marines and really thinking about going guard any advice would be appreciated.

chris is now lifting stuff maybe he’s just a piece of shit? People act like active duty implies you’re this high speed like great at your job solider. Who here was active and can say they had a job that was remotely difficult? Because most active dudes get out and work at uncle Ed’s

I spent years training, operated deep in enemy territory multiple times, slaughtered 457 enemy combatants at once, and I was about to retire with pension, but during an arrest, I got brutally slaughtered by an old man who said he was the Senate because I somehow managed nothing more than worthlessly standing still as I got stabbed...
??? Stop acting like the NG is like this. One guy got NJP for not giving the proper respect to the CO
I initially joined the Army reserves as a 31V in an MP unit near Pittsburgh, then ended up going active duty as a 91D about a year later.
When I was in the reserves, we’d show up for drill on Saturday, and get all our work done. When we came in on the following Sunday, we’d sit around and drink beer from a keg the CO (who was a PA state trooper) brought in and watch football until drill was over. I was 18-19 years old at the time. It was great!
I was the RTD (resident training detachment) for the NC National Guard for my last four years on active duty.
This is sadly VERY close to reality. My first experience with the national guard in the field was seeing all these green painted igloo coolers. I asked what this was all about and the response was, “ guys, we’re gonna have regular army soldiers with us from now on so we don’t wanna see any more coolers in the field”. So they painted them green so we wouldn’t see them. It only got worse from there.
Genius 😂
Do tell us more
“You have to deploy to get the SD at the end”😂😂😂😂
In the Reserves, I had a 1SG that didn’t know I just got off deployment. He thought I was with battalion for the past year, smh.
Did he write E5 on his rank??! 😂😂😂
Yep
Hes not an artist
Lmfaaaoooo

As a former Navy reservist (Seabee), I've known guys who deployed to Afghan or Iraq 5 times in 5 years, but I've also seen the "Anybody seen the chief this year?"

Going from 14 years active duty to the National Guard was quite an experience!!! I definitely appreciate this video. I am just glad that I am now retired!!
This is painfully accurate lol, Especially the face the active duty guy made when he was being told things lol.
OMG, this is awesome. Thank you.
And every active duty person who joins the reserves or guard always talks about how it was like when they were active.
How many say they want to go back to active?
We have 1 in our unit, he basically complained every chance he gets
It’s even worse if they were a marine
Luke Jay no one ever lol I was an active MP! Like sick what you do bro? Oh I was in Korea for 3 years haha gayyyyyyy
And every reserve or guard person says they've been in the Army for 8 years. Yeah only that it's once a month lol.
“No one says battle” 😂😂😂😂
I must say it is a bit abused and excessive in the Reserve
my first drill in the reserves as a private fresh out of AIT was literally a BBQ damn good chicken and brisket
I remember seeing some reserve guys when I was stationed in Korea in a mech infantry unit. They seemed pretty relaxed, called each other by their first names like they were at a regular job and seemed kind of old for their ranks.
In some of the small town units first names are a must, because too many soldiers have the same family name. I was in a unit in South Carolina that had four sergeants with the same last name, if you excuse the fact that two had an extra E on the end that made no difference to pronunciation - and two were brothers that were not twins but nevertheless looked almost identical. Those guys had _name tags_ with both first and last name. They had to.
As someone who just got off active duty and went into the reserves I can attest to the realism of this video 😂
Next is "When a sergeant gets promoted to specialist" - then pretends he knows nothing

"promoted."
Sergeant is above specialist noob

Lord. This reminds me of some of my time transitioning from Active Duty to the Guard. I had a SSG ask me "why do you have a patch on your right sleeve and we just have the one on our left?" I was flabbergasted.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What ?
Sounds about guard
The first few drills where the active transfers try then eventually give up
Seen it happen all the time. I’m tired of the reserves Im switching to active.
...I used to catch them at the first drill and try to give them a heads up. Things are gonna be a little different here..
this was me. lol i was like no i will not waste my time coming here. was completely different from active duty. there was like whole ass platoons missing & only 3 people there maaaan 🤣🤣
Takes a few drills before they get that they aren’t going to get chewed out for not chewing people out
Having been in the NG, sadly some of this is true....There were times I didn't see my team leader for 2 months because he went to a week long school and didn't have to come to drill for two months because of that.
My last drill i was out with COVID so i called my PSG and he told me not to come. I got a call saturday morning asking where i was and had to explain why i wasn't there and then explained that i talked to my PSG only to be told he wasn't there either.

Both times I deployed to Iraq I noticed that guard an reserve comprised 40 to 50 percent of total personnel. The active duty where the most difficult to supervise, I had to constantly check up on them to make sure That they had completed the tasks that I had them to do they generally needed more supervision in most everything, with the guard and reserve they were a lot older and more dependable and really didn’t need a lot of supervision.
We had very different experiences in Iraq.
I’m willing to bet you had young AD soldiers and they all thought they were above your authority, simply because they were AD and you weren’t.
I was Active Component for 10 years, so I’ve seen both sides - Active duty kids showing no respect to the Reservists/NGs; and also, Reservists/NGs trying to flex on Active soldiers just to prove a point. Some people just have insecurities
As a Rakkasan, I am unironically honored by the absolute window-licking tone you used to say our name. It's fitting.

We had reservists come to our radio facility once in a while. They would hang out with each other and chat over a box of donuts, go out to an early lunch, and not come back. Sometimes they would actually put on the headsets and listen for military chatter for a few minutes. That was about it. It was more like their biweekly coffee club.
I don't want to drink water was the most reserve thing he said.
I remember when I went from Active to the reserves during drill after final formation for the day the maintenance unit troops would go to the lake on post and drink including top. I knew a couple of the NCO's that would go out to their truck during the day and have a few beers then go back inside. I was like what the fuck is this clusterfuck.

Too funny. I came off active duty and went into National Guard and this is spot on. I was so baffled. I had drill days where I, a Captain, hung around with another Captain and we supervised one E7, One E6, One E5, and one private.
Oh, so you were over-staffed!
Lucky!
Over the decades, I've watched Civil Engineering slowly shrink to less than half of what it used to be.
As a Navy sailor who did 2yrs Active, with a deployment on the Enterprise, then went into the Reserves this is so spot on!!! Then I got deployed to Afghanistan with other Navy and National Guard peeps THEN WENT BACK INTO THE RESERVES..... omg the looks i got when I showed up with all the extra medals and ribbons....
“we used the company funds for food”
AHAHAHAHAHA
Hi mox!
I absolutely did not expect you to be here.
Wheres you 1SG, I'm a Reservist and we say that about our CO. Haven't seen him all years
Yeah, my LTC disappeared and you couldn't get him engaged. I'm glad I'm not in that unit anymore. It was horrible.
Sounds like your CO just wasn’t into the whole being seen👀 scene🏞... Neither were the CO and officers of my USMC Reserve unit. The highest rank I can recall seeing was a Captain...
In the army can u were glasses
@@leytonmarcantonio1270 Yes, infact you cannot wear contacts, it must be glasses
@@darthkillhoon or lazer eye surgery
As a reservist We get hotplates otherwise we don’t get more funds we have to use the funds to get more the accuracy Spot on 😂
As a marine who was attached on an army base I can definitely tell you they do say "battle" regularly lol
I was gonna say I've heard Hooahs say battle all the time
Yes, but we said it ironically.
Maybe at a basic training base.. unless it’s satire
I never heard battle buddy said after basic training.
I hear it occasionally, but usually ironically
Having been on Active Duty, and in both the Reserve and National Guard, I absolutely can confirm.
Same here.. I was also in when we were FAT. I do not mean FAT Soldier like no a days (have you seen them???) I mean FAT money wise.. Money was a flowin in the 80-90s!
You can see the moment he dies inside...brilliant and true
As ex-weekend warrior, I confirms this is 100% accurate.
As a Weekend warrior. This is very inaccurate
@@thereflexboxer2ndlt550 same, inaccurate
Accurate af
Accurate. My det was so far from the flag pole I went like two years before I saw an e6 or o3
“HOT PLATES”?! Is the one🤣
“It’s not like we’re the National Guard, we have standards, we are the Army Reserves.” Hahah
I love the nametapes. HEISPEED, LOEDRAGG
As an active reserve soldier i loved this. It is the same in my country. We got a new major this year. And he has get used to us. Especially everybody is older them him. 😂
I'm in a reserve unit kind of like this. Makes it easy to make a good impact. All you have to do is just something beyond just playing on your phone. But, doing that can quickly lead to you doing EVERYTHING around the unit because you're the only dependable person they've got. Everyone else will just sham their way out of it.
This is spot on!! I have active duty time and guard time (currently in the guard) this is a great skit!!!

"Whered you deploy to?"
"Germany..."
"What?"
".....huh?"
Is Germany to the Army like how Okinawa is to the USMC?
“VA says you gotta deploy to get the SD at the end” 😂😂
"Find cover in concealment, and press forward" got me dead
I was Active Duty 10yrs went into the reserves and found it to be the opposite, these weekend warriors took it wayyyyyyy to seriously, they made Active guys look like ROTC
Exactly. This is why this video is very inaccurate.
@@thereflexboxer2ndlt550 Depends on the unit. Was in one where its so laid back I can disappeared for hours on end and nothing happens, but on another unit where I'm always tracked.
Depends on the unit - even for ROTC. I started ROTC but dropped out because I wasn't going to put up with their bullshit. The thing that really got me was when I got written up for being five minutes early to PT because I was just supposed to _know_ that I should be in formation doing PT _ten_ minutes before the time they told me to be there. Mind you, I was _supposed_ to be excused from PT entirely because I was on a varsity team, but it took their clerks more than a month to process that. So they were going to give me demerits and have me report to an officer to explain myself, etc., and I figured I wasn't about to put up with that bullshit for four years so I said "Bye!"
That was the final straw, but it was like that all the way - they were allowed to be incompetent and I was supposed to be able to read their tiny little minds to know what they wanted me to do.
These guys are great! Pretty sure they got the inspiration for their line delivery from “idiocracy”. The monotone, kind of mumbling their lines and trailing off. Good stuff!
When he said “wtf did I get myself into” yeah that hit home.
This video is fan-f'in-tastic! Love the out takes. Reminds me of when I was deployed & we were talking with reservists over there. Yeah funny & weird memories. Good stuff guys. I haven't laughed so hard in quite awhile. Thanks for the laughter, best medicine ever!
I got back from training recently and just started drilling for national guard…this is too fucking true. 🤣🤣🤣
I remembered when I first got to my unit from AIT, SSGs and even officers were super friendly and talking to me buddy buddy. The moment I’d go to attention or parade rest they’d just be like “nah relax bro relax you good.” The culture shock was real
