mindraker 1 these US Army commercials bring back great memories of TV viewing in particular.that "be all that you can be" jingle was one of the frequently reacuring ones one would hear when watching TV in those last two decades of the 20th century.
That was regional jet and in the early to mid 80s there were still airports like Richmond International then Byrd Airport that did not have the jetway You walked out of the airport onto the ground to mobile stairway and exited same way
Well that "man" is a Sergeant serving as a United States Army Ranger, assigned to the 1st Ranger Battalion on Hunter Army Airfield before it was a Regiment. Earned the right to wear the black beret, before it became a participantion trophy for big Army. Is Jumpmaster/HALO qualified. It was a recruitment commercial, the owners (older couple) donated their time time and plane for the recruitment efforts. There, that's your 80s Army history for the day.
After I joined the 82nd back in the day I called my mom and proudly announced the news, and told her I was a bad-ass paratrooper. My mom, who spent many years as a civil servant on Marine Corps bases, said, " I know what you do. You walk around the barracks picking up cigarette butts." She nailed it.
I ask too! Ug these classic commercials are supposed to be a safety net to fall on when the modern world gets rough. This is one of those commercials without a doubt.
Because "individual effort and achievement" became a "bad" thing when the Clintons came into office and everything became "politically correct." Now it's all about everyone gets a participation trophy whether or not they contributed. It's all about the "team" when they forget . . that a team is made up of individuals.

Eric 1064 but in the military there’s no such thing as individuality. It’s all about group and team. Not sure if you served but I was always thought there is no “I” in team. Not a Clinton fan but they didn’t invent that. Lol
The Ranger commercial is the one that hooked me. I got commissioned Infantry in DEC 97 went active duty in 98, but didn't get my tab until 2008. Retired Oct 2018. RLTW.
I'm trying to figure out what made my son want an Option 40 contract. Had to be Call of Duty and his National Guard advisor at school because he missed out on the greatness that are these ads. Lol......
Who has time for coffee with the 1st Sgt right after a jump? Loved this comercial. It really did inspire me to join. Did over 21 years with 4 combat tours. Hats off and heart out to those who didn't make it back.
I remember getting into an argument with someone who insisted there were no lyrics to the "Be all you can be" jingle -- I mean aside from the be-all-that-you-can-be, get-an edge on life, in the Army (and reserve). Anyway, I enlisted with "my hometown", "we were needed" and this jingle. Even recruited in the middle half of my career :) Retired in 2008. Best and worst times of my life.
There are *lots* of lyrics; this jingle probably had more versions than anything except "Doing What We Do Best". I sort of think there's gotta be a full-length version of it around somewhere, even if its only sheet music, but it probably never got out the door of the ad agency, N W Ayer: "Be All (That) You Can Be was the recruiting slogan of the United States Army for over twenty years.[5] This popular slogan was created by E. N. J. Carter while at the advertising firm N. W. Ayer & Son. He was awarded the Outstanding Civilian Service Award for his efforts.[6] In his autobiography Soul of It All, Michael Bolton claims to have sung the jingle in the early 1980s[7]."
Well, they got me. Hook, line, and sinker. Just finished 37 years and plan to hang up my boots next year. It's been a great run. tank mechanic, airborne infantry, Ranger, Blackhawk pilot, counterintelligence, and finishing off with Cyber warfare. There were so many opportunities. 1985-2024.
Man. I was born in 85. Joined the army and separated all within your time frame lol. Thanks Army for the Networking training use it in my post service life!
0:30 This one is pretty touching because during the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993. Most of the Rangers were young and joined after seeing these "be all you can be" adverts. Sadly they were approaching that fateful day.
This is what the army really is..a machine to make money. We are still in Somalia in 2023. People need money, so the government needs war to sell weapons..
@@chikntaco141 That's easy to say, but I'm sure even you would be shocked on just how shitty things can be, even worse so for some naive kid in the early 90s
I joined the US Army in 1988, and the "Be all that you can be" commercials were the only ones playing at that time. Each time I saw these commercials, they summarized for me and reinforced for me the reasons I was joining the Army. A sense of patriotism, of purpose, of growing and learning and stretching my self, of acquiring new skills and of serving this great nation (I was born in Cuba) and of great pride in serving in the greatest Army in the world, the United States Army!
Top smiles and says good morning to you like that.... well.... EVERYONE is about to have a very bad day!!! They edited that part out of the commercial though!
I grew up in an Army family, knew I'd join but the first video solidified my urge to be Airborne. That was 1993. Got out in 99, the VA says my chronic knee, back and shoulder pain is not service related.
Unfortunately if it's not in your record they will attempt to disapprove. I attached medical journal reports to support my claim. Google science research specific to the physical outcomes of military airborne exercises. They basically have to have a document tied to the compensation. Long shot, but even pictures of you healthy. And of course, records of your current treatment. Don't stop trying. If necessary, get a disability claim attorney or one of the Vet orgs like DAV to help you.
My son joined infantry after high school. I believe for many young men, it's the rite of passage they need to get life started. Thank you for your service.
I admire ANYONE who is willing to serve in the military because they have a special courage that, frankly and SADLY, I could NEVER have no matter HOW hard I tried. SALUTE!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a E3. I was in the field and our battalion commander walked by me at chow. I pulled the Good morning chat. The Bat commander looked and me and said. “ Shut the fuck up and police call after chow!” Lol
OKay, here's a definite classic! These modern nimrods don't know commercials; at least not with everything so FisherPriced. I got tears in my eyes just listening to this. Kinda wishing I had an instrumental edition of this song, lol.
Was never in the Army...because my parents were married. In any case, I was working with a completely squared away soldier and I was teasing him about "being all that he could be". He responded, "sometimes they have me being more than I want to be". Classic! Love the Army, but will never stop joking with and about soldiers.
I remember those Army Recruiting commercials. I enlisted and my father mocked me every time one came on the TV while waiting to ship out. Turned out my grandfather gave him hell too for enlisting in the Navy during World War II. He was the first Black Navy Chief in history.🇺🇸
0:15, "we do more before 9 a.m. than most people do all day!" True, but the part that they don't tell you about is that we're no good after 9 a.m. because we're so pooped out.
There is a Beavis and Butthead episode called Be All You Can Be where they are shown a video that goes, "we kill more people by 7am than most other countries do all day... there's something really satisfying about doing your job well ... we're looking for a few good head bangers..." That's how I ended up here.
LOL @1:02 "Be all that you can be" in the 90s meant becoming the tech support guy for your family. Fuck that shit, this ad is giving me tech support PTSD.
Is that how it really was back in the 80s army??? I enlisted in 84 it wasn't as happy as all this as I remember..🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 It all sounds like a Miller Beer commercial to me....
I remember this as a kid and remember how fine and good looking dude was who says Hey 1st Sargent, good morning. Awwwh Saturday Morning Cartoon commercials 😊
One of the reasons I joined the Army in 1983 was because of this commercial...…….they played the shit out of this on TV...………...Awesome shit...…….gets me fired up all these years later when I watch it......
When I first got out of boot camp, and into my first unit, I accidentally called a couple of E-5’s “fellas”. They were too far away for me for me to ID their ranks- but that did not matter. That little mistake turned into a half an hour long motor pool smoke session.
So woke up on Wednesday at 0430 packed up my truck and set up our gun by 0600 waited till 1300 to SP, we do a whole lotta waitin, motto should really just be "Hurry up and Wait!"
This commercial influenced me to join the Army. I am now retired after 2 tours in in Iraq and Afghanistan. It wasn't easy at times but I learned a lot and now retired 2018. I miss it sometimes
To everyone who has served in the United States military, we the people thank you and your families for your sacrifice and protection of our families and children. Words can not express my utmost gratitude for every each one of you. You're not forgotten, thanks. God bless you all .

nah bro be honest that sweet reenlistment bonus got you every time you were thinking of getting out 😂😂 they got me in iraq that way 👍🏻👍🏻
theyre making the new 'be all you can be' advertisments like this instead of 'find your calling' ads
Same... 98-07.... Be all you can be. Got me in! 😂
It is very good, but slaying that dragon? Oorah
0:50 They really had this man walking off a private jet, casually greeted by his family. I have yet to experience this in the Army lol
You will not!!!!! The only "private jet" experienced is when you get out of a C130 on your lonesome!!!!! Damn, GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!
