So many people commenting negatively about him having his phone sound so silly, he's in MANDATORY quarantine due to covid. He's clearly upset about his situation, yet making the best of it by using his time to educate future recruits. Respect to this man.
I'm not going to post anything negative but what I'm thinking they're referring to is I don't know what the army standard is because I was in the Marine corps and I went to basic training in the mid '90s before cell phones and I think still to this day is still the same they don't allow electronic devices in basic it's good old fashion paper and pen to write home to your family and a payphone
@@corbettknowles9942 When I went through Army BCT back in 2006, reception is where you do inprocessing, medical, uniform issue, and various other things. You're not in Basic Training yet, and you don't have a Drill Sergeant yet. Cellphones were not turned in yet since Reception is a different Battalion than the one you'll be assigned to for Basic. So they want you to have all of the stuff you came with, on you instead of turned in somewhere. That happened after getting to basic, you'd turn in your contraband (any jewelry or civilian cloths) and cellphones.
However nowadays I think recruits do have cellphones in basic since the payphones have been removed. I don't know how it is now, but from what I've heard from people who went in years after me is that cellphones are kept away from recruits except on Sundays to call home like we used to with the payphones.
What we see here is a recruit in reception waiting to go to Basic, but due to covid madness he was in quarantine. They probably continued to let him have his cellphone since he likely had nothing else to pass the time with. He's likely sitting in that room every day only leaving to shower and use the bathroom and likely being given MREs for meals.
@@corbettknowles9942they don’t. This is military advertisement……. Literally. There are tons of TH-camrs what have access to C130s (Sam Eckholm or something)
That never happens, esp between branches. This is what recruiting is now.
It's a very helpful video for someone who is ready to ship after 1 month to Fort Sill.
Thanks.
How was it and what’s your MOS?
Ft sill is an artillery school .
I took com classes there , and found that there was nothing for me in the infantry . The drill instructors called me short round . 😂🇺🇸 They were great .
@jamesbeemer7855 Yeah, I've been here for about 5 mons and took my AIT and then duty station.
@cazturr in my experience, Sill is not that bad, but when it's summer and you're in training, you're gonna hate it, but out of training in regular army, it's chill.
Our pt shoes were our boots. Late 1970's.
The two different types of tops you were issued are not specific for combat and non combat, the one with the pockets on the front is the regular OCP top and the one without pockets is the hot weather top, combat shirts are a different thing made of nomex to be fireproof. The Goretex isn't that effective for keeping out cold and is more of a wet weather jacket, when worn with the fleece and waffletop underneath it can help insulate you.
honestly quite helpful for me to watch this, i ship out to Fort Jackson in a few weeks and seeing a video like this make me a little less worried about whats coming up.
you out yet?
@@perez104 well I got discharged around week 8/9 and have been back home since March
@@AnneHughes how in the hell did you get discharged??
@@jamarwiggins9703 found out I had a mild learning disability right before week 8 took me out of training week 8 got back home maybe 5 days before I was supposed to graduate
@@AnneHughes how did they find out, medical records?
Anyone looking for tips at FT Benning OSUT ask away, I was in 3rd Platoon, Easy Co. 1-19 this past year.
I'm now serving in the Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. The simplest tip I can give is:
OSUT is just a game, it doesn't at all represent the "real Army"... It's simply 22 weeks of resilience training and basic knowledge. So the moment you begin to give up, and trust me, everyone has that moment at one point, let me tell you that after it's all done and you go to your Duty Station it is nothing like FT Benning. Keep your head up, play the game.
Whats the mailing address to fort benning? I want to send someone mail but can’t bc I don’t have the mailing address. Also how would I make sure the mail would go to him?
thank you for your service and advice. Im leaving for FT.Benning this weekend, what does the quarantine process look like if there is one?
Don’t know how or why I ended up on here but hell yea good ol memories at easy “rock steady”😂
What TOG company are you in? I was in C.Co 2014-2017
Whats up boss, I’m shopping out to fort benning next month. Any tips on how to be ready? Physical fitness tips and anything else you recommend?
ive herd e4 specialist insignia called " full bird private "
Keep your head up and stay determined and keep the lord close with you I did my bct at fort Leonardwood and just keep moving and you do all that you will be just fine
Times have really changed since 1966. Out complete basic was only 8 weeks.
in 1966 at Ft Ord we weren't issued anywhere near all this stuff, or made to buy all tha crap at the PX.
Hose water? Bro that was the best kind of water in the summer time!
They "forgot" to issue me a winter cover in 1998 - not the garrison one. Same thing happened with everyone else in my first unit. The problem is it counted as field gear and when I left the military I was stuck with a statement of charges when I failed to come up with it.
What a difference almost 40 years makes…Good luck with everything!
Best of luck in your training man
Wow, they give you a 100 dollars, and take back 99.... I guess that's changed..You do get more than back in my day.. we didn't get that much gear. We got a field jacket. never wore, 4 sets of BDUs, 2x Patrol Caps, 6x socks, 6x underwear, 6x t-shirts, 2x boots, I think the rest we had to buy..
I'm just here to see how different basic is from when I was in basic training 23 years ago
Ft. Jackson, 1967: 4 sets of solid green fatigues, 2 sets of dress greens, two tan dress shirts, one black tie, 2 sets of short-sleeved khakis, two canvas belts with brass buckles, one poncho, two baseball caps, one overseas c*nt cap, one leather billed cap, 4 pairs of boxers, 4 white undershirts, 4 woolen padded socks (green), 2 black socks, one M-65 field jacket with liner, one trench coat overcoat, one pair of black leather gloves with green knit liner, one pair of black low quarters, two pairs of combat boots. Duffle bag.
Yes that is exactly what I was issued, ETS 1970.
Ft Lewis, 1971. Exactly what I remember. Also “H” harness and butt pack. Wish we had a couple of handbooks especially for land navigation. The only book we had were notes you took in your spiral pocket soldiier’s note boo. I still have my original with Vietnamese phrases in the back like “chu hoi “. Remember that when entering a hamlet?
Do they still maintain a foot locker for all that new equipment? Camel back, COVID masks? Wow.
They don't call it relaxin ' Jackson for nothing.
@@Steven-e2g 1971, I also got a trench style rain coat and I believe 3 dress green shirts in addition to to a winter hat that pulled down around the ears. Thank you for your service and welcome home brother. So glad you made it.
An E-4 in Basic? Lots has changed, I guess, since I entered as an E-3 in 1971.
Lol they combine both uniforms I had into those. Good luck, and don't give up when it gets hard
If any of you are lucky enough to be assigned to D co 1-19, you won't be permitted to use any of the cold weather gear such as the waffle top and bottoms, the waterproof ocp top, ect. The only time you can use them is when you sleep
Damn this makes me feel old. I came in 8 years ago. We still had ACU’s, and grey PT shirts…
Thanks for the information. I’ll be joining as a specialist also, with army active duty in 68 G. I’m just waiting for the swear in ceremony and my ship date.
Did you pass
Back in the day we referred to this as "combat pretty".
Thank you for doing this. I was curious as to what all will be issued.
Ok question, so do you get your personal backpack and the contents for when you go to AIT? I've seen videos where they tell you what to pack, and they say pack lightly, but, if the only items you get out of your backpack is your watch, while making you buy most stuff you've packed, deodorant, shampoo etc. This is confusing.
Appreciate this. I ship out Monday.
Must be nice I've been trying to get in for almost a year passed meps in February but need waivers. Meeting a doctor at meps in December for an evaluation
@@user-dd1bb4tw4r good luck to you brother.
Did you make it
how does he have his phone
Snuck it in his prison pocket.
he’s in quarantine so he is separated and has nothing to do so they give your phone
All that fits in a foot locker and wall locker? Good you got eye protection. In ‘71, we just had ear plugs. PT in your fatigues. No running shoes. Ran in combat boots.
Basic Combat training: 1982.4 pants, shirts, m65 feild jacket, 4 OD t-shirts, sox. Class A uniform. Two pairs of combat boots, dress shoes, Garrison dress cap.the fatigue were BDU'S.
Same here! 1981
ft.bliss TX 80's basic o.d.green gear! 61 recruits 6 drill sgts all were nam vets!!! it was no joke!!
Appreciate this! Ship out to Fort Benning OSUT Aug 30th
i ship 1 month before you boss! good luck
How are you allowed to have your phone?
all the gear is about the same when I went in beginning of 2011, I'm not going to be one of these "back in my days, the gear was worst..." vets...
I beg to differ give it some time. you'll be looking at these videos in the future saying just how awful the fear was as technology changes everything.. in the mid 80's olive green became woodland camo all year long. at least we were allowed to roll up the sleeves command permitting.
Never be afraid to stand up for truth and alway fight to defend our constitution
I thought at Fort Benning you share a whole giant room with beds. Did they change it to be your own room?
I went for reception at around February, they still do have you share a giant room with everyone else.
This was during the Covid PLANdemic
Usually any thing that touches the body you keep
This really makes me feel old. Went to basic in 99. Served 13 years and got out. Thinking about coming back in. How did they treat prior service?
This is the most boot shit Ive found yet 😂. I realize it’s 2 years old and I hope you’re progressing well in your career.
He got medically discharged after 6 weeks
The OCP tops you showed aren’t “combat” and “non-combat” the first one is a normal OCP too and the second one is a Hot Weather OCP top
When I went they gave me 4 pairs of the regular ocp, kinda sad but I guess i can buy some later on
One's referred to as "Scorpion OCP's" and the other is "Summer OCP's", but yeah the labels will say something else.
As someone who went through basic in 1982 what we were issued at basic was nothing compared to now.All would fit in one duffle bag (Not including ta-50 gear or gear to be returned when you finish basic)
Good luck David. I was wondering what you were up to but nice to see you doing well.
Im off to basic in a couple months but can you please clarify.......... you brought stuff that they told you to pack, but they made you buy it anyways?
They change the curriculum all the time!
Also, you are often intentionally told the wrong thing:
Right before I shipped, my parents got an email about day-by-day what would happen at the 30th AG, including that we would do an ACFT. That never happened.
"tHe ArMy LiEd tO uS."
Well, that's part of your training:
Mission parameters change all the time.
Great video thanks for the info . My son goes to Army basic at the end of the month.
Damn bro bro shoulda kept the phone turned around in the bathroom
I am confused about a few things, one how do you have your phone? and how do you have your own room? are you prior service in a different branch? i know things changed since 2003 but damn this look like a hotel
He SAID he was in quarantine. Jeesh.
@@bartlebyscrivener674What difference does that make?
I agree something is fishy about this video cause I know in basic you do not have your cell phone even at reception no cell phone
@@rozd618 well, quarantine clearly has different conditions than normal. Own room, because....duh....quarantine. And allowed phone because, jeesh....alone all day in their room? Yeah, why wouldn't they allow a phone. It's not punishment. Whadya want? Solitary confinement conditions?
The hose water is potable. You aren't drinking from the streams. It's the same water you would get from the water fountain, sinks, etc.. It comes from the water treatment plant right there on Fort Moore (Benning) and has the same water standards as any other state as they all are supposed to conform to Federal regulations. Even had it come from a well and the well wasn't damaged then you'd still get good water. So, 2:22 Basic Training Myth No. 1.
one is a summer ocp the other is a winter ocp. summers are lighter and more breathable and the winters are heavy and more dense.
It’s not winters
Deployed to Iraq from Benning I'm an old retired staff Sargent I miss the day months and years of serving
I go to fort sill I also came in as a E4 under the Casp program.
Congrats on your enlistment
Love you to the moon and back
Your supposed to be in covid restrictions, how do you know about formations and other stuff?
A Spc4 At Basic? How Does That Work?
I could have enlisted like that, 4 years of mcjrotc. But i ship nedt monday and I missed the chance to provide my transcript.
College degree, I’m going in as an E3 cause I’m 4 credits shy of my bachelor’s.
Shipping May 8th.11b. Paper says I’m a Javelin gunnery so that’s going to be interesting
Make sure you do well at AIT for your MOS if you fail a test 5 times at AIT your kicked out the army. Make sure you take your ssid and BTC class(NCO PROFESSIONAL SERVICE RIBBON)so it will help you get your points to get promoted to E5 AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD CONDUCT! For three years it's very hard to very promoted without that. And if you can go to boards competition if you can win you can get a AM ribbon or a Arcomm which adds points to getting promoted.
I’m going to be going to BCT here soon (19K) any good advice? Does and DONTS????
Keep your head up and stay determined and keep the lord close you be fine bro
I was an 11 Series so I'm not sure what all 19K go through. Just remember it's all a game, and it doesn't represent what the Real Army is like.
DO make eye contact with your drill Sergeant as you bite your bottom lip.
Don't spit, swallow
Mouth shut,ears open, suffer in silence, don’t touch your face, and never ever put your dick skinners in your pockets!
Why are your name tapes different colors? What's "desert multicam"? Is it just a misprint? Or do they issue you different colors of multicam now?
When you bought items at the px did they make you use your own money?
You're issued a prepaid card with 300 to 350 dollars on it you'll use that
Kinda miss it in a way but in a way I don't. I'm so pissed at our government for lying to all of us
Your in service? So.. no new H&k vids for awhile? :/
Dude u really just said the E-4 rank looks like an colonel rank? Do push-ups do some fucking push ups
😂🤘
Question do you get this issued to you when you enter the army and what ever place you get put for basic training like Fort jackson or just at Fort Benning and any tips for a future soldier who wants to join the US Army?
The curriculum changes all the time!
No matter who you are it's hard to train for training!
(I was with prior service re-enlistees at RHU).
went thru 30th 4 years and its amazing how much things have changed thru out time lmao
What ?
A private is Miskito wings , what’s this about a specist sheild when you get out of basic ? E1 - E4 . I’ve heard of women getting E5 when they complete basic and shortly after getting commissioned ( luetenent ) . That’s a serious pay raise .
Kelly hill?? It used to be the 30th AG. Down range was sand hill. And when the hell were you allowed to keep your cell phones any where at the ITB???
He’s in quarantine from the plandemic times
What company are you in? I'm currently in D co 1-19
So I’m Confused Do I Need To Buy Hygiene Stuff And Bring It To Basic Or Not??
No.
No. If you got a packing list or something from your recruiter they give you money and make you buy it there anyway anything you bought is probably staying in your personal bag.
@@owenmassman6273 Still confusing though. I've heard at reception, they'll make you literally throw certain things away, so if certain things can stay in your personal bag, why do they make you throw things away?
Good luck in training bro.
Wait UNTILL he has to put that stuff on .
This is a heat and useful vid, thanks.
Hehehe I went in the Army in 1968, Fort Lewis Washington. We didn’t get ANYTHING like this stuff. We got OD Green CLOTHING, everything was just green, your socks, underwear T-shirts everything was green. And everyone was a E1, after basic training you got E2 hehehe. And we made $65.00 a month hehehe
Camp Kelly 😂😂😂 I remember those days...
Can you PT in yellow phase?
The most you'll do is 20-40 pushups, burpees, whatevers on the menu. Yellow phase at Benning is all conducted at 30 AG's reception. We ate more than we did PT, I gained 20 pounds because of it lol but that weight was lost by blue phase easily
You have 2 summer uniforms & 2 winter uniforms bro.
good luck solder!
R u prior service? Wondering how u got the rank of specialist
Probably ROTC I passed my asvab and I gotta go to meps they already did my finger prints I was in ROTC all 4 years of highschool my recruiter said I could go in as an E3 OR E4 I'll update later with a ship out date and contract 6/11/24
Anyone coming into the comments looking to bash him for having his phone or being an E-4 in IET, heres the run down. As mutiple explained, he was quarantined due to covid by himself, so they allowed him to keep his phone (im pretty sure none of you who went to BCT had to be quarantined in the 90s and early 2000s), secondly you can get the rank of SPC by having a bachelor's degree, so thats why he came straight into the army as an E4. Sidenote to the people calling him a snowflake for whatever he, suck it up, babies, boo hoo, your IET sucked we get it, but vets older than you would call you snowflakes as well. Extra sidenote, he was unfortunately medically discharged after being a holdover due to covid, but holy shit he's buff.
Crazy how you’re an e-4 entering basic lmao congrats! I’m prior service trying to re-enlist from marines to army and it’s been such a hassle trying to get back in. Waiting for couple waivers to be approved and then I’m good to go .
It’s just a matter of having a college degree. You only need around 48 credits to go in as an E3.
How did you get E-4 before basic??? I must know 😂
4 year degree or possible fire dept and emt certification
JROTC will give you an E-3 I know. A E-4 with no time is service looks good to new crewts but will stunt you for a long time as far as a promotion to E-5 and the board will take pleasure making sure you know EVERY question in the PLDC book as well as every course according to your MOS and smart book.
is that a MOPP suit ?
Are you prior service? Just curious how you got in that nice ass room for reception😂
Camp Kelly is a quarantine building for people who have tested positive for Rona, there are others reasons why people are sent there but that is the big one recently. 30th AG's barracks are very depressing, I'd rather have tested positive for Covid than stay there another night lol
Glad to see y'all get your phone in Basic training! Idk if you can do me a favor! Tell Lippert his finance misses him! He just shipped there the 27th of September! Thank you 💕
You do not get your phone in basic trust me just graduated in August and that was a big No-No only sometimes we were allowed… this guy is in quarantine at Camp Kelly I went there too and got my phone for that period the full time only but that’s only cause I tested positive for the rona
Sadly it is likely he'll only get his phone for 30 minutes every Sunday like I did. And maybe, just maybe, he'll get an hour after white phase.
Update: he's called me every Sunday on an average of 30-45 mins depends on what amount of time they give him. But I wrote him letters everyday for a month and mailed them all out and he hasn't received one of them. It makes me sad to know that he hasn't received not even one ... Idk if it will come to him soon but I hope so.
@@xzenonxwarriorx ah man you and him are lucky if he’s been able to call that much and have that much time but hopefully your letters work out soon
@@xzenonxwarriorx did u mail mail to fort benning? I have someone who’s over there rn and I can’t mail them mail since I don’t have the mailing address. :(
I leave for Basic at Fort Benning on monday, what if I am unable to do the initial PT assessment at 30th AG?
There is no pt test at 30th ag or there wasn’t one when I got there in January of 2021
I never had to do an initial PT assessment, and trust me the Drills are going to do whatever they can to make you pass PT, they don't want to deal with the paperwork it takes to recycle Privates and have them as holdovers.
You literally just got off the bus and have your first issue. I don’t even know why you made this video🤷♂️Yeah, if your really out of shape the may put in a FTU fitness training unit and you have 8 weeks to pass your PT test at 30th AG. I’m not really sure how you got through MEPS with a medical problem that would hold you back in 30th. I was at 30th for 5 weeks before heading down range, they were backed up IDK They told us 16th different thing as to why. Once you go down the range your phone and anything civilian items except maybe a few pictures the other locked up at least in my experience. I was seeing some videos from Fort Benning basic training and it’s gotten a lot easier. All they can do is smoke you and yell a lot, they won’t touch you. They may toss in your locker while you’re at attention, and maybe throw a drawer at your head, if you move your broke position of attention if you just let it hit you in the face your good but your face hurts stuff like that. I don’t know things have changed so much. If you could sleep more, basic would be a blast. Good luck!
@@jhensleytm Passed OSUT on march 31st, was a lot more stressed before hand then I needed to be, it wasn’t bad at all
what's your MOS?
Your not an E-4 when you go through basic training either
Not true. There are plenty of SPC and even some SGTs if they’re prior service in BCT/OSUT
Camel back all I got was canteens
Do you have to buy things from the exchange if the army has one
Doesn't all that come out of your paycheck? Sound like a really cpappy deal for to leagly getting away with killing another human for rich people.
Since when do you get Sp4 patches in basic?
Back in the day it was common place for prior service guys who came back. For the most part they were VN VETS. They were given BCT positions as PLT Guide and Squad Leaders according to re-entry DOR.
Hey bro, I’m a prior service Marine and tryna go 11b, maybe 18x, I have to go to boot camp again cuz I’ve been out 5 years. Any insight on prior service dudes and how boot camp is for them? I don’t wanna be special, but if I eat 3 times a day I’m gonna shred weight, I gotta eat like 8 times a day to stay swole.
Basically, just trynna see if prior service guys get leeway with going to a small place that sells food like a convenience store
Why’d they abbreviate your last name?
Rona basic was ass (we got hit in blue phase) we lost our family day and nobody could attend our graduation. You’re lucky you won’t have to deal with such bs lol
Goodness! Your barracks look like a motel room! And PT uniforms? What's wrong with doing PT in boots and combat clothing?
Well, it's been over 50 years since I got out and there have been a few changes, including barracks. We were issued four sets of cotton fatigues, four sets of cotton khaki uniforms (two with short sleeves), two pair of boots and a pair of "low quarter shoes," all of which had to be spit-shined. Plus two sets of AG-44 uniforms (greens). A cap and and an overseas cap and two baseball caps, which I never liked. A field jacket, which I did like. Socks and underwear, belt and buckle, collar insignia, poplin dress shirts, towels and a necktie. Overcoat and raincoat. Men have been known to join the Navy to avoid wearing a necktie. Everything went to the laundry. Nobody did their own laundry and there was hardly any place to do that anyway. Upon being assigned to a permanent combat unit, you got even more uniforms: a second field jacket; wool shirt and pants; field pants and a parka with a liner. The field jacket had a liner, too, but I don't remember where it was issued but I did get one. I have no memory of being required to buy specific toiletries but I probably had to. I'd say basic training was rather more basic then. I took my basic training at Fort Knox, same place as my father and same place as my son.
One other minor difference: most men entering basic training had been drafted.
I've looked and looked to see what soldiers were issued and the most recent I found was from FY 2017. The video covered things pretty well except for the dress uniforms. There was a cash allowance for the PT shoes and socks.
He's in FBRC (Fort Benning recovery center) right now, it's not just for people in basic, people who are awaiting airborne school also go there if tested positive for COVID-19. The bays at basic haven't changed a whole lot
Ship out to FT Benning on the 7th of February 11x option 40
You make it?
Wait....30th AG let's y'all keep your cells now????
Good luck!
What job did u pick
Why do you have your phone ??
it snowed there the fall of 1977.dont ask me how i know A-8-2
How'd you get E4 out the gate
College specialists. There's a good few around
Is it still 2/58?
E4 for Those having degree right? How about if Having 3 yrs in collge can Army consider e3?
If you have at least 48 credits you can start at E3, that’s what I’m doing
@@TheHipsterGamer yes i did i was there yesterday they sent me as e3 I talked to the meps about my College.. thank you 😊
Pin on rank is stumping me. Esp. since most is Velcro rank now. I know I had ACU's when I went to Korea after Deploying to Iraq. Guess not many who were Station in Korea had them yet. Figured they be the one of the first to get them.
