    Best of luck in BCT, keep your head up and keep pushing forward. When you get out of BCT and get to your unit the Army gets a lot better. If you have any questions let me know I have been in for almost 4 years and soon will be ETSing

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      You literally just got off the bus and have your first issue.

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!

      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.

    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 can't speak for the other bases (Leonard Wood, Sill, or Jackson) but we didn't get our phones until our 6th day of processing. And we got promptly smoked afterward because bay 203 couldn't follow de-phoning instructions.

      At Benning, no. You'll get a phone call for 30 minutes every sunday throughout OSUT, UNLESS you, your platoon, or your entire company messed up and get your call revoked or shortened to something like 5 mintues. If you have been good "soldiers" more time is allotted.

    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.
