U.S. Army Reception Battalion

- Reception Battalion (RECBN) is the period that begins when the recruit arrives at the Army post where he or she is to undergo Basic Training. Instead of spending a full day processing each individual, the US Army likes to spread out the processing to offer each soldier plenty of waiting time each day for the one to three weeks that it can take to finish the entry processing.
Once you get your head shaved, pay attention lol I got lost from my group. Hella hard to tell anybody apart after.
Andy, Hooah! Thank you for your comment. (DYR)
Eggheads.
If you want to experience what Reception is like before shipping, go to a hospital and find a bench to sit on. You can't look at your phone, you can't talk to anyone, you can't sleep, you just sit and wait. After an hour, get up, fill out a piece of paper with your personal information, find a new bench to sit on for another hour, and repeat. Your only breaks are a 30 minute break for lunch and dinner.
Reception is my worst nightmare. I'm not exaggerating, I have had nightmares about being back at Reception. Comparing the worst parts of Red Phase (having to wake up in the middle of the night to get smoked because someone fell asleep on fireguard) to Reception, I'd rather do Red Phase again.
Owen, Hooah!! (DYR)
I was in Reception for 16 days in September 1997. Too many incoming soldiers, not enough available units. I agree, it is like prison. At least Once you get to basic you can count down the days. Reception was like anticipating Day 0 for over 2 striaghr weeks.
Billy Gensmer I was in it for 10 days I wanted to just scream half the god damn time it sucked so bad.
Also you completely nailed the reception experience @owen
I was at Ft Sill in 84. The worst basic training experience. It gets easier after you cleared reception. I think I saw some of the dumbest people in the world at reception.
You don't know shit....Another snowflake...
1:17 nutritionally balanced food *grabs apple pie*
Cake and pie..... My o my.... Lol
Lol. I was gonna say that guy got everybody smoked.
you will not gain weight in basic eat up when you can
Looks more like peach cobbler to me but hey, whatever floats his boat lol
Lmao
did he just grab the cake?! My DS would have cut my hand off
If you go to reception during the winter...expect delays. I got stuck in Leonardwood's reception for 8 full days before going to training
Damn... Thats horrible
My brother was in fort benning for 8 days in the summer as well. It don’t matter
Try 3 weeks
I got stuck in Jackson's reception 17, yes, 17 days waiting to start basic. Sept 1997. There were literally that many soldiers being pushed through that it was that slow.

You
Oh I just loved staring at a wall for 12 hours to do 2 things a day and carry a god damn laundry bag everywhere. It was just fantastic hell I'd even say it was the best time I had in the army so far!
Eric, Hooah! (DYR)
Thank u to all the us soldiers out there this is jason thank u for being there for me appreciate it
It looks so nice and cleaned up since my time back in 87 at Ft Benning. The food even looks real.
I can't wait to ship out! This journey is going to be pretty interesting (:
How'd it go?
Good attitude to have. I hope all went well.
Go Airborne!!! Then go Ranger...Wannabe
It's been 4 years. How's it going?
TheChannel.of_randomness 101 I’m getting out in a year 😊
When I stepped off the cattle car at Ft. Sill, I never thought I'd make it.. that was back in '92. Now I have my honorable discharge on the wall. It was tough but worth it.
epa316, Hooah! Thank you for your service. (DYR)
I was at Ft Sill as well... 2005... Looking back I'm with you brother....
I'm heading to Ft. Sill in January.
@@BNCole For basic? Well, at least it won't be hot. I did mine in June-August. Two tips are: pay attention, and understand that everyone gets yelled at. They want to see if you can handle stress. And of course, be physically fit. 👍
God Bless U.S Army
Thank u to alm the us soldiers out there love. Yeah
Shiping out on the 15th of September 11x fort bening hooah!
16 Days left until Shipped to Fort Benning, Georgia. Watched so many Videos to Prepare myself in Conversion from Civilian to Soldier. 2017/04/04.
stealth5545 how’d it go
@@nokomisnorth8409 i think he is still there
It’s been 4 years. Are you out by now?
@@dannyr9119 he's stuck in processing
Imagine having to make and slice cake that no one will eat
Things have changed a bit since I went through Fort Jackson in 1981.
No PT clothes, no computers.
I think the reception part is for testing the future soldiers patient just my opinion sending prayers and best of luck to all new arrivals in all the reception areas.God blessed you all and good luck 💪💪💪
You realize you are only here for about a week and a half then you are stationed in your actual training class for 8 1/2 weeks
We really appreciate your assistance in us thanks so much you can contact me on my private email MartinJosephm683@gmail.com
I never went to Basic. Plt # 2063, Hollywood, 24 SEP 82. I also spent 9 years in the Army. Oorah, Huuah.
What’s the eye exam portion like for people that bring their own glasses? What all does it entail if you can read 20/20 with your glasses on? What do they do after making you read the chart?
been trying for a few years took a break to take care of life. now I just gotta pass the asvab and let the journey begin.
Cameron Butler here is a link to help you with the ASVAB: www.march2success.com. Good luck and let us know what MOS you pick. (DYR)
I ship out April 3rd I’m excited 💪🏽
o the most important part of being a soldier = you are nothing but a US government property. you become it.
Jokes on you. If you have a government issued I.D. card and pay taxes to them, they already own you. Might as well have the government pay you to own you than you having to pay them to own you? Moron.
смиренный True. Good point.
@@user-yg2up4lg3r Exactly, but hey just think we’re property that actually has a choice to boot out or pick another leader.
i leave in a couple days to Fort Benning! kinda nervous but it's an exciting nervous of that makes sense but I'm happy I'll bring serving
zPhantomGamer LIVE Leaving in 30 minutes for Benning
Tayos tm good luck buddy! I'll be there Tuesday I'll see you there soon hopefully
zPhantomGamer LIVE I'm pumped up and ready to go. We're going to ace basic! HOOAH!
Tayos tm so am I man! I'm nervous as shit tbh but I'll get through that ! you should follow me on instagram/facebook/ etc.. I'll follow back.. sounds weird but I love meeting people who are joining
zPhantomGamer LIVE Don't be nervous dude all of this is mental. If you tell yourself you can do it then you can & What's your IG?
Gimme me more PT, I love it! Hooah!
Dirty Hairy, Hooah! (DYR)
Anybody know if you can have information changed in your file at Reception/Basic, like religion?
Are those PT requirements up to date?
I passed MEPS and my ASVAB and Im about to reserve my MOS but reception is the only thing holding me back. I dont think I could do it!
Pete, I recommend you let your recruiter know your concerns. You will have to complete all the training in reception, BCT and AIT to become a Soldier. Good luck. (DYR)
Haha a joke me and my buddies always said... imagine waking up tomorrow, and realizing it’s your first day at reception.
I'm 29. My gaming buddy who is 19 who I met last year in a game of Pubg talked me into joining. I'll never look back.
John, ok currently to join the United States Army you must be between the ages of 17 and 34, be a US Citizen or resident alien with an I-551 card, a HS senior, HS graduate or possess a GED (limited allocations). If you are single, you cannot have custody of minor children. You cannot be undergoing or have any pending civil actions, as some law violations may be disqualifying. If you meet the qualifications above, and would like to begin the enlistment process, please go to the following link and submit an email: www.goarmy.com/talk-with-us.html (DYR)
I relly love us army
riding the bus is cute we ran to our company
Shipping to Fort Leonard Wood less than a week , so worry about the 8:30 1 mile run.
I am sure you will do fine, just continue to run and do PT prior to you shipping out! It is normal to be nervous.
I can't wait to join the army
+LELE KIRKWOOD Have you talked with a recruiter yet? (WBP)
Lol
LELE KIRKWOOD Same
Don’t
River Young if she or he doesn’t than who’s going to fight for our country huh 🤷🏾♀️
I cant wait to go to the army when I'm 25
Dark Slayer roger! The enlistment ages are 17-34 if you decide you might want to get started a bit sooner! (CEH)
I’m joining The Army this year I’m kinda scared but at the same time excited
Jennifer, it's ok to be scared of the unknown. Just learn to work as a member of a team and you will be fine. Good luck. (DYR)
embrace the suck especially since Army is the worst thing next to Marines
I was NOT ready to get several vaccines one after the other in under a minute. Wasnt so bad tho but my god.
They didnt give my any pie back in 1995 at Ft.Knox.
Back in 1981 when i went to ft dix nj the push ups were 20 situps 30 and 1 mile run was 20 minutes
Maria, Hooah! Thanks for your service and support. (DYR)
Y'all are good at fluffing it all up.
Boomer One , Hooah! (DYR)
Army Future Soldier Center, Lol, looking forwards to basic. How do you think you guys'll change in the next two years?
Boomer, it is no way to know. We just do what we are told when changes do come. Hooah! Enjoy your training and good luck. (DYR)
I remember when I went in, after we went down range from reception, our first time before going to the Dining Facility, our one Drill Sergeant told us that he cannot tell us that we can't have cake, pie, coffee etc but if he finds out we did, we will pay for it. Lucky for me one day I was on KP duty and after dinner service I went back to my bay and found out they all got smoked because a private was caught with a cup of coffee. This was back in '97.
Things has changed I had to report for pay to my Commander with a salute.
Fort Leonard Wood in three weeks. I can do this!
Yes you can! #ArmyTeam
I went to Basic their and then went back to transition from National guard to regular army. And since I was already done with basic and ait I got to work night shift at reception battalion and helped the DI's get the recruits processed the 1st night.
Fort Dix, June-August 1985, Delta Co., 1st Bn., 3rd BCT Bde. Good times, just think of it as summer camp with lots of shots. :)
Falls, Hooah! (DYR)
Ft fix. 76
What if we did like 4 years of JROTC do we get to start one rank over ? Because I did four years of JROTC at Kaiser High School
You start as an E-3
30th ag at fort benning was far worse than actually training. I remember thinking wtf did I do to deserve this. No sleep 48 straight hours
NYmech, sorry to hear that but you made it through right. Now you got plenty of stories to tell. Hooah! (DYR)
I felt the same. I almost got discharged then and there.
Yeah man I feel ya I had it twice because I was split ops training because of high school lol twice the hell lol
Hell, I'd go back in the Air Force for the chow alone.
Coming after graduation in 2019
funko reviews h, Hooah! (DYR)
Army Future Soldier Center does the asvab force my job or do I get to pick
@funko reviews h from what I heard you get to pick what you want to do but how well you score on it will give more options
OB yea that's what the recruiter told me
Funko, You must score a minimum of 31 on the Armed
Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. This is a test that measures a person’s potential in given fields based on a person’s strengths and weaknesses. For enlistment, the test allows the Army to match these to all of its specialties in the Army and Army Reserve. The scores are used to determine
career paths and incentives. You will received what is available to you during your enlistment process and you will get to pick out of the list. (DYR)
Haircuts should be FREE. NOW you have to PAY for haircuts
what?
FIRST IS FREE. You receive uniform pay to maintain it for your entire military tour.
Jerry Hughes it’s always been a societal standard for woman to have lengthy hair and for men to have short hair.
First haircut is free
@@Gk-db9fy yep, we can agree that it's stupid 😐... cause in the army, girls aren't immune against dirt, lace and hair mentainess, but it's an army stupid and shameful standard then. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
What is with the big green patches on the uniforms ?
Velcro for unit IDs and shit like that to get attached to
sorry for the question but does emorroids prevent you to enlist or scars?
Current hemorrhoid, when large, symptomatic, or with a history of bleeding within the last 60 days, would prevent you from enlisting at this time.
They make it seem so relaxed compared to reality.
Silverhorder1969, Hooah! (DYR)
Whats been updated now in 2024 ?
Took Basic at Ft. Campbell, Ky. We stayed in Recp. Almost 2 weeks and our basic training was cut to 5 and 1/2 weeks. Thank God for that. We had a drill Sgt. That was busted for having to many wives. Other than that basic was great. He was nuts... 101st Always...
For the eye exam, and actually completely pitch black blind in my left eye (like if I was wearing an eyepatch over it), how would they react to that condition, and how different are these “military issued” glasses compared to civilian issued???
Luciano, you can not have a patch over your eye for the exam. If you have eye issues you will need to take your documents to your local recruiter. (DYR)
Luciano, the military glasses are whatever prescription you need to correct your eyes. (DYR)
Luciano, for the eye test Distant vision must correct to at least one of the following. 20/40 in one eye, and 20/70 in the other eye or 20/30 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye, or 20/20 in one eye and 20/400 in the other eye. Diopters must be less than neg 8.00 but may be waiverable to neg 12.00. (DYR)
the military issue glasses are known as "birth control glasses" as no one will want to get in the sack ( or closet) with you while your wearing them
Yay a little over a week. Here I come Fort Benning
Dave the Barbarian, good luck. (DYR)
Just telling you now don't quit in reception it is litteraly purgatory. Also try not to be a fuck up and stand out in the first week of bct.
I, solute to the Army of Fort Jackson, to Army training and recruitment from Civilian Police life.
I assert that in my Telework Agreement at home from Civilian Police life to Navy Ship Yard and Vessels alike, Why Is we different in referrals?
fort Jackson March 1979 bravo 9-2/3 9th battalion 2nd all the way brigade 3 platoon army strong with 3 Marine brothers
E Danielssr, Hooah! (DYR)
Haha me and my battles used to joke around saying what if you woke up the next day ( after a couple years of being in garrison) and it was a dream and you were back at reception
Joseph, Hooah! (DYR)
what's the difference between meps and reception? same paperwork and process as meps?
Reavis, no it is not the same. Meps Military Entrance Processing Station is a Department of Defense joint-service organization staffed with military and civilian professionals. MEPS determines applicant's physical qualifications, aptitude and moral standards as set by each branch of military service. Here is a link for more information: www.goarmy.com/learn/your-visit-to-meps.html The Reception BN is when new recruits arrive at their BT installation they process through the Reception Battalion prior to starting Basic. During the 4-7 day process, you will be issued uniforms, receive initial pay, visit the PX, barber shop, receive various briefings, complete personnel affairs documentation, receive shots and are given a thorough dental check. (DYR)
Me and my friend are joining when we graduate high school in 2025
Congrats girl, I graduate hs in 2024 but im gonna do two years of college first. Don’t settle for Air Force and train hard!! Y’all got this !
Me and my cousin are joining when we graduate high school 2024 see you there
BLACK angels yeah lol
I know this video is old, but why do they even bother to serve baked goods and sweets at the basic training cafeterias if they know that someone taking it will get everyone smoked and yelled at?
Ive already done alot of this at MEPS will i have to do it again?

Those PT requirements are... disappointing.
Jepicosity, Wow, are you talking good or bad? (DYR)
Bad, obviously. He's saying they're sad.
I know, like even a 5 year old can do that many push ups and sit ups, not disrespecting the Army, I respect all branches. But still.
@@dadeeman1oo 5 year olds are much lighter then a grown person so they dont have to push as much weight up
@@dadeeman1oo that is the requirement to get in basic training not finish it.
What are you tested for there I thought they already do the test at meps

(DYR)
Great video. Quick question. For those who have done it already, do they re-check your hearing at reception even though they did already at MEPS or is it just eyes and dental? Thank you anyone who answers.
Sabisan, the Army will always do testing to make sure you are medically ready. Hooah! Did you have an issue with the hearing test at MEPS? (DYR)
Ship out august 1st ft. Sill excited but nervous!
Ryan, congratulations, stay motivated and give 110%! And always remember OPSEC, don't post dates and locations of movements on social media sites. (BAB)
How was it
Just a couple more days and I'll be heading to Fort Sill!!!
Johnathan Esquivel, Outstanding! Good luck in training and let us know when your graduate. (DYR)
I see the Army has added PT testing during reception. We had two guys that had to be recycled because they could not even train much less pass the APFT. I also have heard there is a PT standard prior to actual report to active duty, another good idea. During my day you had to complete SQT prior to graduation fron OSUT. I understand the Army is bringing back a form of SQT. Good deal, good luck to everybody joining.
Robert, thank you for your comment and support. (DYR)
I’m only nine years old but in nine more years I will be a grunt soldier in the army. This has been my dream to be a soldier since I was 4
Clarence, wow good luck. (DYR)
Don’t do it Clarence
hows going 13yr old big dawg
Lmao don’t do it
Never turn down your gi bill. It is your get out of poverty card. Get over seas on the year you re up. That gives you a tax free bonus if you choose to continue your military career.
Okay I have to ask a few stuff and sorry if I comment to much lol, so like let's say you don't want to do this anymore can you like leave or are you forced to stay? And what do you think is the best age to join, can you have a noise ring or will you have to remove it? Thanks
Ariana, you must complete your contract you signed up for. Your choice and what age you wish to serve is based off your goals. You can not have a nose ring. (DYR)
You can leave, it's possible. It's called entry level separation. Look it up.
But like they told me when I went to basic in August 2017, the fastest way out of basic training is to graduate. Also, no nose rings lol
Jeff10thMoutainDivision raw footage thanks❤️ I really want to join cuz my boyfriend is in the special forces and I really want to help our country
No jewelry
HURRY UP AND WAIT.
How can l get into the army? I'm from panama
Oh it was so a trap...lol
I am Darren Wilson Wilson huh what was it like
What was it like?
Fort Jackson June 4th 2018, 92Y Airborne. Can't wait for this journey, I can do this.
whiskey w, Hooah! Please do not post date and location. Use comments like I leave in June. I'm shipping to Ft. Jackson soon. Opsec is very important when you are posting on public sites. (DYR)
I keep thinking about doing this, but reception is what worries me.. I don't want to recieve a ton of shots AND have them prod around in my mouth due to cavities.
Jeff, well you will get plenty of shots. Hooah! Good luck. (DYR)
Just wait until they examine your balls in the physical. There's even a smell test!
Can't wait to go
+trav2404 Hooah! Good luck and stay motivated. (DYR)
trav2404 yes, go to the army, and next step, go to the WAR!!!!!!! You are really want this? If you say yes, your maybe will be very good soldier. Sorry but my english is not good.
Fort Leonardwood 1992 Alpha 2-10. 4 years at SHAPE Belgium after AIT. Cake duty..haha

Are the PT requirements the same still?
Jaden, yes currently the requirements are still the same. (DYR)
This video makes it sound like a walk in the park. I almost lost it when she grabbed that pie 😂
Thanks for your sincere complement🌹🙏, I am a soldier🇲🇾 👮 nice meeting you here, if you don't mind we can get to know each other via Hangout mp134532@gmail.com

Do they take blood during Reception or only during MEPs?
Chris LeBlanc, yes they will take blood during in-processing. (PD)
Thank you! I have to mentally prepare myself, I'm petrified of needles haha
I didn't know you have to pay for your equipment and even your haircut from your own pay
where can I find more info on the army reserve?
Hello! I'd suggest to check out: www.usar.army.mil/About-Us/
Im sooo close i gotta pay some tickets off then i can swear in
Shaquira, good luck. (DYR)
So is this like MEPS all over?
Brenda, with Drill Sgt. Hooah! (DYR)
Worst part is the shot line. Both of my arms were bruised afterwards since I didn't bring immunization records.
David, Hooah! (DYR)
Eu quero entrar para a US ARMY😭😭
Shipping tomorrow to fort Leonard wood. Excited but very nervous
how'd it go?
@@squidward761 too easy
This not what happened at Fort Ord in February 1970. I can still hear my D.I. barking in my ear.
Berlin, Hooah! Thank you for your service. (DYR)
For people wondering reception is the worst experience you’ll ever go through especially in fort Leonard wood there’s no pt test no more they can’t smoke you in reception but they will yell at you if necessary also it will be the longest days of your life all you do there is sit stay quiet read you blue book and wait in line for hours it’s like meps but way worse and longer you’ll do hearing test dental, eye exam, blood drawn, you’ll get like 8 shots including butt shot then be shipped to basic within a week. Basic is much better you’ll get a lot of sleep compared to reception
Go ARMY!
Here at meps hotel ship tomorrow Fort Jackson
Plan on enliisting in the next 3 months
currently here at reception and I hate it
Any advice? I’ll be going to Fort Jackson in October and I’m a little nervous
Relaxing jackson , you’ll be fine
It’s wack that it’s 13. Weeks now BUT , thanksgiving and Christmas / New Years should make your training be shorter. I went from 9/14/15 to the day before thanksgiving and my training wasn’t exactly 10 weeks , it was 8.5. Just listen to your drill sergeants and keep your mind FOCUSED. It’s all a mental game barely physical. Good luck
@@XVNRX thank you so much for your advice ❤️
Ooo are you ready
lol the easiest barber shop gig in the world - at reception. Every day you get to cut hair with no guard... and get paid for it.
