During U.S. Army Sniper School, we had KIMS (Keep in Memory System) drills. The Instructors would show us several small objects; Cell Phone, Radio Battery, Stapler, etc... we had 30 seconds or so to study each item, remembering as much detail as we could. We were NOT allowed to write anything down, nor to talk to fellow students about the items... Then usually several hours later, while were we performing some other task (everything from a Ruck March, to dancing around in a circle hooping and hollering like Indians as the instructors screamed at us) we had to write down as much detail as we remembered about each item. Like all tasks in Sniper School, this was graded (the KIMS task, along with Target Detection and Range Estimation) were combined as a single Grade, and if you Failed, you were booted from the school. Other Failures that could end your career as a Sniper were Shooting Skills, Stalking Skills, and your performance as part of a team during the Final Field Exercise. The purpose of the KIMS drills were so that Snipers could quickly absorb key battlefield information (even under fire) and then at a later time (under stress) be able to relay those key details to their Unit Command. A key skill, given that Snipers primary duty is as a Scout to gather Intelligence. BTW: the only thing I got wrong on this test, I missed R2D2. SSG. U.S. Army (Medically Retired) Infantry / Sniper / SOF Intel (SOT-A), multiple tours
The flag was a trick question because the picture was in a distance and one could not read the lettering on the flag. Especially, if youre not military and do not visually know what a particular armed forces flags look like. Not good there DOD.
That was fun. I got all 5. I immediately looked at things that might be questions. That helped to answer the test at the end. Pretty cool this video is.
College honor student here, and I only got *ONE* correct! 🎉🤣 So, it seems I did worse than everyone else commenting here! LOL! 🤪 I thought there were four divers! It looked like there was one under the water... I completely missed R2!!! 😭 And I love Star Wars!!!! 🤣 I watched again-I can barely tell that’s R2 over there unless I turn the brightness way up. The dry/wet platform-I didn’t even notice! I got the black shirt right, LOL!! I knew there was a flag to the right of the US 🇺🇸 one-I just didn’t know which! This was fun!! I love stuff like this-umm, even if I do poorly! 🤪 BTW, to all of you serving, thank you very, very much for the sacrifice you’re making for our country. 🇺🇸 Also, for those of faith, I want to make sure you know that Psalm 91 is the soldier’s psalm. It’s full of amazing promises of God’s protection-and speaking of memory, it’s a GREAT Psalm to memorize. God bless! 🙏🏻❤️
Got all except r2 D2 lol .these things always have the main focus so you never focus on that and see what's around it and count things that's what I did. I'm also a scuba dive master so I have to know how many heads to count naturally ha
Technically I got them all correct, but 3 questions were incorrect by way of how they were worded. The platform can’t show moisture from this resolution/distance, so one should infer it is entering the water, as the man is pushing it toward the water, not pulling it. Also, the mans shirt is navy blue, not black. Thirdly, there is no Air Force flag. Thus, I got them all correct.
The problem is is if I witness a crime, I’m gonna be asked what did they look like what were they wearing. Not was this object to the left or right of this object. I was able to answer how many divers and what color the guys shirt was. There were also 4 people standing in the background which was never asked.
I only missed r2-d2
Ethan ....HOW?!
i just did not look over where it was
Me too :-)
Same here, didn't even know that there is a r2-d2 on the pic
Sane
This isn't about memory so much as it's about attention to detail.
H R yeah. If you actually spot the detail, it’s not that difficult to remember it.
Yes
Especially the platform being dry part....
The shirt is clearly blue. I was right. Also, I didn't know what kind of flag that was, I couldn't read it but I knew it was on the right.
jimmy the killer my exact same two thoughts haha
same!
jimmy the killer good catch
i thought navy..
yeah. 3/5 for me. that shirt is blue
All i could think of was how ridiculous it is to test a space suit under water when its intended for a vacuum
Not Sure Now

This is true because I am from England and don't know the flags of the US
4 / 5, I thought R2D2 was some Random Space Equipment...which, now that I think about it, HE IS so...5 / 5!!! 😂
Did anyone notice the guy in a gorilla suit walking through?
Hilarious!!!!! 😂👏👏 I totally remember that one from years ago!
3 out of 5 question right. I missed R2D2 and the flag
Frank W same here
That was fun. I got all 5. I immediately looked at things that might be questions. That helped to answer the test at the end. Pretty cool this video is.
I able to answer one question correctly.
Same!!! 🤪😂
Only miss the one about r2-d2, only because I didn’t know what it was 🙄
I got 4/5
How tf does this have to do with my memory? If I didn’t look at R2-D2 how does that have to do with anything?
Perfect memory over here
College honor student here, and I only got *ONE* correct! 🎉🤣 So, it seems I did worse than everyone else commenting here! LOL! 🤪

Missed one,thought shirt was blue
5/5, take note of the big things rapidly then go look in groups, then smaller areas
This is easy with a photographic memory
4/5 i didn't know there was a robot. now can i be a pilot?
4 out of 5 not too bad for some who usually can’t find two matching shoes in my closet.
5/5 just as I suspected
If only I had photographic memory.
5/5. Sign me up for the Mars Expedition
Got the first 3 right. Didn’t see R2 and didn’t pay attention to the flags, good trick.
5/5 I knew there was no flag, hopefully NASA will be ready for me one day
Got all right :)
I was watching this high af, I definitely failed 😂😭🤣
Got the last one wrong
I got all the questions right...so yeah my memory IS as good as I think it is.
I only got 2 right. The "coming out or going in" one and the "what's the color of the ahirt"one.
Got 3/5 but only because i did not expect something from star wars to be there, that was a cheat lol.
5/5.
I actually took this test just to see .good way to keep people watching the vid
Maria Garrison isn’t that the point of the video?
5/5
well I answered everything right!!!
I only remember that astronaut was dry..
the man with the supposed “black shirt” I thought was dark blue.
4 outta 5
Got all 5, well, was like I dont remember even seeing an air force flag
I aced the quiz. I’m a regular Mitch Rapp.
the flag question kinda tricky loL but kinda hilarious the usa flag and exit sign at same height
I didn’t know what that flag was so I assumed it was Air Force
Got all except r2 D2 lol .these things always have the main focus so you never focus on that and see what's around it and count things that's what I did. I'm also a scuba dive master so I have to know how many heads to count naturally ha
5 out of five the shirt is navy blue
life max that’s what I siad
I got them all right lol
I got all the questions right except for number 4. I didn't see it in the picture.
4/5
Lol I remembered the guy's shirt as dark blue 😜but not as dark as black
go them all. where's my prize?
Missed R2D2
3/5
i got all of them but the flag i didnt get that and i guessed his shirt was a navy blue which is close enough ha ha.
Got them all right...woohoo!
I only missed R2-D2
HaH g00B
I'd like to try this I lost my memory but a few tries may put me back in place hands on training
I actually got all of them correct!
I got 3 divers, dark blue, they where coming out, couldn't even see r2, and the flag was to the left, I have a pretty decent memory
4/5 not bad. I missed the Air Force question.
4/5, missed R2D2.
Oh come tf on who was paying that much to detail
3/5. Only missed the Artoo one and the flag one
Technically I got them all correct, but 3 questions were incorrect by way of how they were worded. The platform can’t show moisture from this resolution/distance, so one should infer it is entering the water, as the man is pushing it toward the water, not pulling it. Also, the mans shirt is navy blue, not black. Thirdly, there is no Air Force flag. Thus, I got them all correct.
4/5. Missed R2D2
I got all of them right
i only missed one
4/5. Platform is dry not wet.lol
Really easy actually
Only thing I messed up was the guy’s shirt being black instead of navy blue
You got me with the flag, I thought it was a navy flag
I got it all
I got all of them right ha!
5/5 .... it was very easy
I got the first 4. I would have gotten five but I didn’t see the air force flag.
I actually got it all correct lol
I only missed 1
I am not gonna lie, I noticed the R2D2
it's 1tb so i think it's good enough for my pc
4 out of 5
4/5 Correct. Im a genius
The problem is is if I witness a crime, I’m gonna be asked what did they look like what were they wearing. Not was this object to the left or right of this object. I was able to answer how many divers and what color the guys shirt was. There were also 4 people standing in the background which was never asked.
5/5'd
With Luke Skywalker
I only missed the R2 d2 one
Got 2 incorrect
I didn’t even see r2 otherwise I somehow got it all right
I got 4/5 I thought the shirt was dark blue but they say it’s black
I only missed r2d2 and I didnt know that wasnt a navy flag cause I am literally 13
I only missed one I thought the shirt was navy
I think I’m brain dead!
Got 4/5
Great
Too Easy
