Delta 2/46 and I swear I think the only reason these Drill Sergeants seem so chill is cuz they on camera cuz i do NOT remember them ever being this polite.
I was at Knox at this time With the mechanics. That Roadmarch up Heartbreak Hill to the gas chamber was fun to open up your pores so the gas sets in properly
Shit was way different from when I came through in October 1990. Right before Gulf War. Signed up for engineer, but the whole time they were threatening to make us infantry.
+John Hall They must have cuz when I went in my seal on my mask was broken even though I reported it they did nothing I went in the full time breathing that crap. Came out with very little snot but my eyes were a watering! Some guys were all snotty but for the most part it was what you saw.
+James Robertson haha that's funny.. my mask had a damn filter missing, didn't know until they popped gas.. had to get pulled and repair the damn mask, then go thru it again.. good times i tell ya LOL... as for the snot, we looked like slugs leaving slime trails LOL Ft. Knox, 1987
i remember my time in knox, Charlie 2/46 3rd platoon Scorpions, i was doing the WTC course since i was prior service, that shit was fun but challenging, if i could go back and do it one more time i would, fucking hooah

Ft Knox Bravo Co 2/46 4th platoon Commandos feb 2002 - apr 2003 SDS Marvin DS Glen!! WTH is going on in this video???!!!! Where’s the stress???? Weak!!
One thing about the military, The lesson's learned stay with you a lifetime. U.S Army D-8-4 Ranger Ft Knox KY Aug 1974. I salute all who served and are serving.
Hey Robert! Thanks for posting! I know it's not in the description I was 4th squad 4th plt. It's nice to see how many people see this video and respond with their unit and squad and how it changes over the years.
Which one was Alpha? I cant remember mine, just remember it was the Barracks adjacent to the chow hall and right next across the street from the track.
I went to Knox....in 1989. You guys don't know how lucky you are to be in Disneyland, with working plumbing and heat. I was in the *OLD* two story wood framed buildings built in 1942 with 20 man squad bays. Watch the movie _Stripes_ and you'll see them. C Co. 2/46!
This takes me back! C-13-4, Ft. Knox , KY. August 1986. Same barracks, same parking lot I took the front-leaning-rest position in. Agony, Misery and all the fun on the ranges. Ended up in 4/2 ACR guarding the Czechoslovakian border in an Air Cavalry unit. Desert Storm, Purple Heart and retired an E-4 (medically). What a trip to watch these new soldiers carry on with the mission. Go Army!
I was there fall/winter of 94/95. It’s sad there is no longer basic training there. I think they tore down the barracks including the old WW2 ones that they still used for some in-processing stuff. I remember getting shots in one. Anyway, that’s what it looks like when you check out google earth.
Wow! Lots of memories! I was there in 1970. D-16-4 for basic and C-4-1 for advanced, armor AIT. Looked on Google Earth and Ft. Knox has really changed and modernized over all these years. Basic barracks looked much the same but modernized. The damned gas chamber will always be the same! LOL! Do they still do road marches up Misery and Heartbreak hills? Ooorah!!!
March of 2003, Foxtrout Co. 5th Platoon Drill Sgt. Haraphaeseat or something like that. AKA Drill sgt. Alphabet. Baddest drill sergeant, he held Honor Platoon 5 straight cycles.
My Drill Sargent was Drill Sargent Shirmer. Lieutenant Drease. I remember those days in Ft. Knox, Kentucky, marching up and down misery and heartbreak hills, seeing those 62 ton M60A1 tanks and heard them sound off, awesome.
I'm wiped out to Man...I'm getting a headache...let's see.. 4 Excedrin migraine now...maybe more... ( I DUNNO EITHER...I STILL HAVE SHIT FOR BRAINS AS WELL) I KNOW NOTHING...THE GHOST WHISPERE...THATS ALL WE RIDE TOGETHER.
These are sloppiest and laziest looking drill sergeants I've ever seen. The private's move faster than they do. They say: "Hurry it up!" ... while they just stroll around, demonstrating all the time in the world. Looks more like hazing.
you probably fail to realize, those drill sergeants you refer too are veterans inside the ARMY. They have earned such title and quite frankly don't deserve the comment you made.
I realize alot of these young men sign . How many of these really stay in . I know they are young thinking they really Know what they are doing and signing up for . But yet thinking they know it all . Get careless and loose their lives also .Which is very sad . But the way they tear these young People down to rebuild them to what they expect . Does this Help or Hurt them ???
+chicky1785 In my Platoon alone we had 2 Section 8's and about 10 that didn't complete basic meaning they were recycled to the next class. I was one of the older guys being 24 when I joined there was one other person older than me in my Platoon who was 37 he was a good guy but he couldn't make it. Yes it is important to be broken down and molded into a soldier. You must be conditioned to react, respect your fellow soldiers and learn the life style etc... I was a 91W after Basic a Combat Medic and having the training I received from Fort Knox the breaking down and rebuilding helped hone me focus and determination to the fighting force. Until you experience it and put it all on the line you will never understand. I can see your points but there is a method to the madness. It forms bonds between soldiers because you are all equal and as the training progresses you are tasked to throw in your own knowledge on what to do in a situation. And for the record EVERYONE signed we have an all volunteer military.
Being conditioned as you say sounds they retrain your brain . Almost like brain washing to a point . But can understand this to a point your own feeling would always do the talking first if seeing one of your own being hurt or killed .You have to be able to stay as a Team . Not falling apart in the middle of a battle Not only putting your own views in place Are you retired or still in the Military Friend ? And if so are you home on Deployed right now ? Thankyou kindly for your reply friend . Much love hugs and prayers
+chicky1785 I was medically discharged. And being a free thinker I never considered it brain washing. It's training conditioning you to react and work as s team. Even if you are afraid your conditioned to act and react. I miss the service terribly it was a great lifestyle for me. So I do what I can now for veterans and work with the schools veterans office I attend to help vets get their benefits.
Hi Friend .. Thankyou for your Service . How long have you been discharge and do miss it ?.May I ask if you were badly hurt ? My heart goes out to all Vets ..And might I ask if you get flash backs Working as a Team is very important on mission the Military does do . I think this is great what you do ..

It is a small price to pay for the privilege of living in the United States of America. There is nothing I am more proud of than signing myself over to Uncle Sam at the tender age of 17. My military training has served me well in my life. I am a retired disabled veteran, injured in the Gulf War, and I would not change a thing. The best friends are those you can count on. I met most of those friends in the Army. Ft. Knox boot camp, 1986.
I went through 30 years before you, D -15 - 4. A world of difference. 4th Brigade where, yes, they filmed Stripes, is now totally gone. The old reception station is gone. There is a huge Human Resources Command building taking up much of where 4th Brigade was. I was also stationed there 83 - 86 and everything from then is gone or changed as well. BTW, we did PT in our boots back then. Unblouse the trousers, untuck the shirt (pre BDU days) and off we went. Went through PLDC at Knox as well and that is also gone, as is the Drill Sergeant School.
Hard to believe this was filmed 11 years ago. My time was back in April, 1981...D-3-1...armor crewman basic and AIT in the Disney Barracks. My cycle was the last ones to be issued pickle suits, that's how long ago it was! Afterwards, I was assigned to 4/37th armor, 194th armored training brigade (I doubt this unit even exists anymore) at Fort Knox. I thought I was lucky. Little did I know how much better the Army was over in Germany until I PCS'd over there to the Cavalry. Remember these times, young men, for they are sacred, and you will spend the rest of your lives trying to find and recapture the camaraderie you were privileged to be a part of in your youth. And thank you, Drill Sergeants Simms and Mason for showing me the path to manhood.
Sadly to say, the armored divisions have moved to Texas. That happened several years ago. Fort knox is basically Human Resources Command for the ARMY. and cadet training. 229th "flying tigers" is still there. Apaches replaced with Blackhawks.
Michael Appleby Probably just a sign of the times, Michael, as we transitioned from the primary threat coming from the European theater to the Middle East.
+Ron Lawrence that's true Ron, basically lots of barracks. HRC Is the big thing. i live just outside base in Radcliff. still load military trains every so often. little track left up in base. thank you for your well respected service. veterans don't get the credit they deserve now and it really is a shame. thank you again, mike
Michael Appleby I started out living in E-Town, then moved into Radcliff before I PCS'd. I lived on a really pretty little street with a divided road called Logsdon Parkway. I really loved living there, but spent way too much of my paychecks at the Cav Store if you know what I mean. Hey, I've got a real blast from the past. Ever been to Shepherdsville?
+Ron Lawrence definitely interesting. I live next to the Nazarene Church off logsdon. remember the old Nazarene close to Elm Rd? this town is falling apart with a quickness. over run by thugs and everything looks awful. changed over the years and quite honestly, not for the good. German restaurant under the bridge by Big M Chevy is all but history and the drug store in Radcliff before you get to Walmart way and elm is gone and has been closed for years. now it's a tattoo shop. and I have been to Shep a few times. not many in this current time. I lived in FL most of my life (Tallahassee, go Noles!!!) and when I came here, it's changed. I am not an older guy, I am 20. would've never knew. mike
We didn't bother talking shit about other co's cuz we knew we were the best... Now other platoons in our co fair game lol small world man where did you go got ait?
Try the same place this video was made at the start they show their logo. This video was from Oct. 05. If they archive that long ago. As far as the yearbook goes I don't know as I didn't order one just the photos.
In "84" C 2nd platoon it was " drill Sargent drill Sargent look at me I'm a bird my arms are flap in and my eyes are wide open...love to my brothers....
Man that brings me back. I was there in 2008. Freaking cicadas. Little zerglings everywhere. PT over tons of dead insects. Yea. It's an experience.........
I was there Aug 03-Dec 03. Forget what company. 3rd platoon. Drill Sgt. Pollard. We got lucky with only 1 Drill Sgt. Kinda wish this vid had more of the everyday struggle. Pugil fighting, gas chamber, and obstacle course is legit like only 3 days out of the 4 months. Was sent to S. Korea after. If youre aingle and under 21, they automatically send you to Germany or Korea. 7months in Korea and we got orders that we were going to Iraq. They werent supposed to be able to send us from 1 hazard duty station to another, but found some loophole i guess lol. I got a purple heart after being shot near Ramadi. 15 years later and im still dealing with stuff from that 2 year period. I dont regret my decision and would do it again. Only thing I can be proud of besides my son. If youre still reading this: thank you. 🙃
Anthony! Thanks for sharing your Knox story and a bit of your military story. I can't believe the response this small little video has gotten and has brought our Knox brothers and now sisters together. I appreciate your response and your service!

Hard to believe this was filmed 11 years ago. My time was back in April, 1981...D-3-1...armor crewman basic and AIT in the Disney Barracks. My cycle was the last ones to be issued pickle suits, that's how long ago it was! Afterwards, I was assigned to 4/37th armor, 194th armored training brigade (I doubt this unit even exists anymore) at Fort Knox. I thought I was lucky. Little did I know how much better the Army was over in Germany until I PCS'd over there to the Cavalry. Remember these times, young men, for they are sacred, and you will spend the rest of your lives trying to find and recapture the camaraderie you were privileged to be a part of in your youth. And thank you, Drill Sergeants Simms and Mason for showing me the path to manhood.
Sadly to say, the armored divisions have moved to Texas.
That happened several years ago.
Fort knox is basically Human Resources Command for the ARMY.
and cadet training. 229th "flying tigers" is still there. Apaches replaced with Blackhawks.
Michael Appleby Probably just a sign of the times, Michael, as we transitioned from the primary threat coming from the European theater to the Middle East.
+Ron Lawrence that's true Ron, basically lots of barracks. HRC Is the big thing. i live just outside base in Radcliff.
still load military trains every so often. little track left up in base.
thank you for your well respected service. veterans don't get the credit they deserve now and it really is a shame.
thank you again,
mike
Michael Appleby I started out living in E-Town, then moved into Radcliff before I PCS'd. I lived on a really pretty little street with a divided road called Logsdon Parkway. I really loved living there, but spent way too much of my paychecks at the Cav Store if you know what I mean.
Hey, I've got a real blast from the past. Ever been to Shepherdsville?
+Ron Lawrence definitely interesting.
I live next to the Nazarene Church off logsdon. remember the old Nazarene close to Elm Rd?
this town is falling apart with a quickness. over run by thugs and everything looks awful. changed over the years and quite honestly, not for the good.
German restaurant under the bridge by Big M Chevy is all but history and the drug store in Radcliff before you get to Walmart way and elm is gone and has been closed for years. now it's a tattoo shop.
and I have been to Shep a few times.
not many in this current time.
I lived in FL most of my life (Tallahassee, go Noles!!!) and when I came here, it's changed. I am not an older guy, I am 20. would've never knew.

anybody know where i can find my knox bct class video or yearbook from 2005?
Try the same place this video was made at the start they show their logo. This video was from Oct. 05. If they archive that long ago. As far as the yearbook goes I don't know as I didn't order one just the photos.
Delta 1-46, 2nd Platoon, Sept. 11, 1997. MAD DOGS! WOOF WOOF!
In "84" C 2nd platoon it was " drill Sargent drill Sargent look at me I'm a bird my arms are flap in and my eyes are wide open...love to my brothers....

Man that brings me back. I was there in 2008. Freaking cicadas. Little zerglings everywhere. PT over tons of dead insects. Yea. It's an experience.........
Same. Fox 2/46
I was there Aug 03-Dec 03. Forget what company. 3rd platoon. Drill Sgt. Pollard. We got lucky with only 1 Drill Sgt. Kinda wish this vid had more of the everyday struggle. Pugil fighting, gas chamber, and obstacle course is legit like only 3 days out of the 4 months.
Was sent to S. Korea after. If youre aingle and under 21, they automatically send you to Germany or Korea. 7months in Korea and we got orders that we were going to Iraq. They werent supposed to be able to send us from 1 hazard duty station to another, but found some loophole i guess lol.
I got a purple heart after being shot near Ramadi. 15 years later and im still dealing with stuff from that 2 year period. I dont regret my decision and would do it again. Only thing I can be proud of besides my son. If youre still reading this: thank you. 🙃
Anthony! Thanks for sharing your Knox story and a bit of your military story. I can't believe the response this small little video has gotten and has brought our Knox brothers and now sisters together. I appreciate your response and your service!
@@pixelcadehey np. As much as I dislike FACEBOOK, the group pages on there are awesome, and most units have a page where former soldiers can share stuff. In case you werent aware that is. Thanks again man.
@@tBeNz0 Never used facebook i'm really not that big of a fan of social media in general.
Damn, I wanted to know if they ever got the bags lined up! Lol
No lol it was an impossible task just to piss us all off lol
