Only thing missing in this video are the dozens of hours cleaning an m4
Especially in the last few weeks when you're done with your training and hage.nothing else to do. Also the drill sergeants getting bugs in their butts and randomly smoking you and everyone else for no reason.
Then look at operational infantry where they scrub toilets, mow lawns and sweep the motorpool (on top of monotonously doing connex layouts like so many other soldiers) because they have nothing else to do when they aren't sitting in the woods constantly with baby wipes for their butts because you can't wash your ass. All for a job that you never actually do unless we're at war (and even then modern day wars are so much more than foot soldiers infantry, especially the Vietnam jungle training we still do), and a job that has no civilian translation.
Fuck infantry.

And stalking/harassing and poisoning!!!!! Please don't forget that one! Yes here in Orlando, via the dictation from their guy in st. Petersburg, Fl, we have a massive group of SHEEP ex army vets who choose to blindly follow their "master" in who resides in pinellas area in FL. They are ALL X army vets, and all take dictation/orders like true sheep. Why? With orders followed they have unity. Individually most are peons. Now using this unity against potential enemys as in other countrys: ✔️ its a formidable weapon. But using said unity on pne of your own citizens? Recon on one of your own? 👎 I call bullshit. Operation Par employees said leader of this out fit of outlier x army vets. I guess its EASIER, MORE REWARDING go do recon on a non military, untrained, 50 yr old homeless guy their abusing like a beaten horse, eh? Glad y'all got ur ass kicked in nam!
Don't forget PMCS 😂
Lmfaooooooo too fucking accurate
Went to Infantry OSUT 2019 Graduated in 2020 went to Airborne school April 2020 then Fort Bragg NC May 2020. Now i'm in PA Fort Indiantown GAP reclassing to 15T. I'm happy I went infantry first.
Never forget that you will always be a infantryman first. Myself 11B retired US Army 87-09

@Peter Angles I have to agree to the a certain point having came from active duty RA then going into the guard. Then I've seen guys coming from active duty Army ate the f up.
Aye I got a few buddies in infantry and cav up there
@@Louie92801You served in the 82nd Airborne Division?
After being a Combat Medic from 1982-85, I went to Infantry School at Harmony Church in Fort Benning in 1985. It was physically tough, but being prior service the physiological stress was not a concern, just respond to orders, and use your head. Myself and another ex-medic would help the trainees with the basic first aid tasks section of training. I got out in 1991, I never regretted my time in service, and will always be proud of my experience and my comrades.
October 1985 Harmony Church Graduate here! That's when they used to call the other place Sand Hilton! C-10-2
Had to do the same thing.
If you was a medic in an Infantry unit, U was one of us brother .
DS Bates was our drill at Bravo 2-54 this cycle (our company is shown at the beginning) and he was, genuinely, the best teacher that i have ever had and i know many others feel the same. I’m glad to see that he was given the opportunity to represent infantry drill sergeants. We were hella confused why we were getting smoked for a video though
He was the best drill there, wish he was at our grad though. But im glad he got to be in the video as a main drill sgt
D 2-54 here
Nelson Davis and metcalf were the only good drills when I was at b254. Idk who bates is but bravo was a shit show. Sowell was the CO. Tucker was first sergeant.
That means me and you went to basic together, I was in 1st platoon B 2/54

B 2/54 bulldogs Graduation day February 11th 2010 dam that brings back memories
I was confused when he said "Fort Moore" because the only Infantry School I knew about was Fort Benning. I was there in 1987 at Sand Hill, Echo Company, 7th Battalion, 1st Infantry Training Brigade. I read why they changed the name but to me and my memories, it will always be Fort Benning. Anyways, my most fondest memories was basic training. When I graduated, I felt 10 feet tall.
You and others need to get over it, the names changed.

As a infantryman for 9 years now and a infantry drill, I wouldn’t want to do any other MOS / job. Infantry literally leads the way.
Infantry leads the way in what, suicides? Physical and emotional problems (I met an 11b who was so messed up in the mind, he would punch himself in the stomach)?
Infantry especially for lower enlisted is literally one of the shittiest jobs to have. Fuck infantry.
Rangers lead the way hooah
Rather be out of the army f that
@@Fenris_0fficial 😂
Going infantry soon.
Was on tanks while I was in for 8 years, trained with the infantry, was stationed at Ft Benning, now Ft Moore, I respect the infantry, I called the Bradley's baby tanks
tanks the best place to be
I was actually in basic training with Drill Sgt Bates. Even though he was a different platoons drill sgt, he provided everyone with great advice and insight with our training. I never forgot getting corrective training by him with the rest of my platoon for being turds. I have no doubt he passed air assualt school. It truly was an honor being trained by him and the rest of the cadre.
I was in his unit before he went off and did drill he was an amazing mentor and squad leader he was fair and he made sure you were squared away
You guys are absolute BEASTS. Moore (Benning) is a wasteland. 😂 I've watched my son turn from a boy to a man to get that blue cord. Many Blessings to all Infantry. Strong work. 💪🏾🖖🏾
Can't wait to join. I wanna give the Rangers a shot, I know I 99% will not make it to that level, but might as well try.
Rethink your life choices
Go for it fam, but make sure you utilize the free college and any free services offered by the army
I’d rethink if I were you man
If you think that then you already fail my man
@@volcanicactivity8631Maybe you should rethink your own life…you’re making UA-cam comments and being negative to people wanting to make a change. You’re literally dirt
The graduation at the end of this video was my company, Baker Co. 119. So surreal seeing guys in my platoon on the official army yt channel
it will continue to happen and you never get used to it either lol.

Did you qualify for a bonus?
@@darthflorida8687 nahh, honestly just joining was a bonus for me. They're so strict on ADHD and it was quite the obstacle to go around. I don't know how to qualify for an actual bonus but what I originally got was Airborne school or duty station of choice. Being smart I obviously picked the one that would open more doors for my career.
@@colbysmith7029 cool I respect it! so do you know what duty station your going too since you didn’t choose?
Know what the 'X' means.
@@darthflorida8687 Fort Bragg/liberty
Only thing. I graduated Benning in 03. No disrespect whatsoever but I got my opinion bout females being in the infantry. Not saying a woman's place is in the kitchen but a female don't belong in the infantry. If females had the same physical fitness requirements the males do it might be a different story. But they don't. Just makes me question if they really earned that blue chord
They're not very common. I've yet to see a single female grunt thus far in nearly 6 years. I can imagine that most of them get sent to the training room and push papers for a 1sg. Kinda like how females have been eligible to become rangers for the past few years but not a single one has actually been accepted to join the regiment.
There aren't many infantrywomen. Women interested in combat MOS's tend to go armor/cavalry or artillery where the load bearing issue is less of a problem.
shit almost made me re-enlist as an infantryman xD D-150 forerver baby

@@Haynes30 no shit i was in same time
So what should I start with ? I was thinking special forces weapons sgt untill I seen this
I miss the army, but goddamn we spent so much doing nothing after seasonal training ended. Would’ve love to hit the gym during off time or go to online school. Hopefully some changes occur during down time.
That's the army in general. It wouldnt be the army without wasting a lot of time and doing things like fucking off in the motorpool not just on "motorpool monday" but tuesday - friday with endless connex layouts. I can imagine that infantry is even worse with not only pointless connex layouts but also scrubbing toilets and mowing lawns for the lower enlisted. Even in the field, you're just sitting there in the woods for weeks wasting time I would imagine the marines are just as bad if not worse (although I've had marines tell me they don't do the motorpool like we do).
I would imagine that the airforce wouldnt do their people like this and that more people in airforce would be doing something more productive like online college
@@golfery5119 I don’t miss MM, we literally did nothing for vehicles that hardly moved during summer through fall. I get the need to make sure everything is up and running or the importance of being ready if something happens, but damn. There was a buddy of mine who begged his NCO to allow him to do his online classes after PT because we would just sit at troop till lunch (summer time). Good dude, he has the best PT score and knew his shit. So it’s not like he was going to jerk off for 6 hours.
@@Dee-ye2dk If I could do the military over again, I'd join the airforce. damn the army and I couldnt imagine doing combat jobs in particular.
@@golfery5119 I did infantry and was stationed in Germany. I will give the infantry credit for having me in the best shape in my life, but it’s not for the long term. My friend who passed away, SPC Diaz. We were doing a ruck march with 40lbs, NCO pushed the squad to run. You and I know that’s a no go. Diaz foot ended up separating internally. After he came back from hospital they asked him to come to duty the next day. I’m not shitting you either. On my life this is a true story.
@@Dee-ye2dk pure ridiculousness. that's worse level of bullshit as what I had at fort campbell where general jp mcgee ordered just about (some people did get to stay in the rear) the entire 101st division to sit in the field for three weeks in November 2021 and April/May 2022.
I actually saw soldiers in the field who had to ride the vans because they were not allowed in LMTV's or Humvees, and they had their legs in braces and using walking sticks to move around. I myself a few weeks later after the field got a bad second degree burn on my arm (92g) and wasn't given quarters then the next day had to be in a mass layout in the goddamned motorpool and I thought that was bad.
I hope your battle buddy was able to to as high a percentage of disability as he could when he was still living.
I'm not saying the entire military is bad and that the marines and army are complete shit and the air force is all good (it isn't) but yeah, damn the military and if anyone's going to join, join the goddamn air force where you wouldnt have quite this same level of crap to deal with like the army.
Honor Hill still resonates with me
Thank you all for your service, my husband oldest son just left to the military 3 days ago, hope he does well at the training
Basic is was to easy today. Make that shit harder
A slick sleeve SSG at the end 😂
Every time I think about rejoining, i remember the clueless leadership that I'll be forced to listen to

why did u not show the cool stuff like the night infil course or some FTX or even just shooting weapons like cmon that’s WHY people wanna go infantry
while im sad the days of the shark attack are over it's pretty cool getting to see a new tradition take form!
Amazing ❤️ 🇺🇸 🌍 💪. Thank you! I love our Country.
Funnest job I had
It's all fun and games having chick's in the Infantry, until that 115 lb infantrywoman can't pull a 280lb Infantryman in full battle rattle out of burning Bradley.
To be fair, plenty of men can't pull a 280 lb man out of nothing.
I dont think 300lb men are allowed in the infantry😂
Badass. Hoping to enlist soon.
Me too. Do you know what fort you’ll be at?
@@NCRRanger16you're not going to know what fort you'd be until after youre done with most of osut and are at the end of it, when you get orders.
What seems "bad ass" about infantry now to you is going to seem more like ASS after you join since infantry is literally one of the lowest and shittiest jobs to have as well as just plain pointless (especially in peacetime) and useless (especially when you get out).
@@NCRRanger16 You won’t go quietly, the Legion can count on that
@@b58powa Patrolling the US almost makes me wish for a nuclear winter
@@NCRRanger16 no clue. Want to do infantry. Going in with an open mind and the heart of a warrior. I’m ready to serve the country compared to when I was younger
honestly the first 100 makes strangers work as a team, weeks later we understood what that meant.

As the infantry general, my DD214 SAYS Frances Kuhn aka Doug is my first kill.
17 and honestly very scared but hope it all goes well, anyone have any advice for fort benning
It is okay to be scared and anxious and use it to finish the training, you will be tired, exhausted, hurting and feel like it is never ending and sometimes you might think that it doesn’t make sense anymore but just keep pushing and do what you’re told, the fastest way to finish the OSUT is to graduate, think like a leader and act like a leader but always remember good leaders doesn’t just give out orders and watch, you do it first proficiently and confidently. All the things that you are doing at BCT/OSUT will prepare you when you get to your unit and everything will make sense.
“Consistency is the key”
-it is easier to maintain than to restart all over again”
Stay out of trouble, keep your distance from female's because be wary of what you say and do near females or else you will get SHARP'ed/EO'd.
Mind your own business.
Everything is provided, food, shelter, etc., so therefore it's all easy and that is why remember that you are getting paid to do the right thing and do your job, EASY!.
The only difficulty is the people, yes the job of the training/life but the difficulty the people, some may not like you and you to them, but remember that don't make things personal no matter what, it's all business, be mature about it, be neutral, don't take sides, be NEUTRAL, don't play favoritism, be a good role model as to help other's and don't be a singled out person which of course to be a team player, be understanding and help those that need help and don't make things personal, you are getting paid to do the job which is easy.
Not everyone is your friend, it's all business, so therefore be careful, NOT EVERYONE IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!, everyone joins the military for different reasons. When in doubt, in regret for joining, remember that don't be suicidal, it's not worth it of being suicidal, it's still just another job because you are getting paid...money is involved, even if you don't like it and yes it's the military and not civilian world, it's still a job, you are still getting paid.
You can still quit, just say that you refuse to train, and act upon and be ready for harassment and bullying but you can still get out of basic training if you regret the MOS and don't wanna continue, you will get general discharged.
Everything you need to know is in Forrest Gump. Do whatever the drill sergeant tells you to do and take care of your feet. Take extra socks to the field in ziploc baggies, keep your feet dry. Use Dr. Scholl's foot and body powders. Other than that, if its in summer, freeball it (no underwear) and don't be that guy.

Question. I’m wanting to be a infantry solider after basic. Do you have to do airborne? I’m not the biggest fan of heights but can deal with them if needed I just wanna be a field Infantry
No, you definitely don't have to Airborne.
No but If you are going infantry route i would get a school contract to airborne school its the easiest baby school the army has but airborne infantry is just a light unit they still practice jumps but i doubt it will be used in combat all infantry dedicates to train in the field too it dosent matter whether you are in a mech or light unit you will do the same shit
A ton of Airborne soldiers are afraid of heights. I'm deathly afraid of heights, but somehow helicopters weren't bad at all. If you get Fort Campbell in your contract, you can do Air Assault School. Beats jumping out of a plane. You just have to worry about all the crashes.
@6706lefteye I thought the marines had the shitty helicopters

The fun begins at sf
I don’t understand. Are infantries like Marines?
Infantry means ground troops who fight on foot. With rifles, machine guns, etc. Both the Army and Marine Corps have infantry, and no not every Marine is an infantryman. The difference is that, at least in doctrine, all Marine infantry is geared towards amphibious warfare, while the Army have Air Assault (helicopter), Airborne (paratrooper), mechanized, etc infantry. They also have slightly different unit structures. There are more men in a USMC infantry squad than an Army one.
In practice they're about 95% the same and in most wars, they're doing the same shit. Just in a different uniform.
Also in reality, the Army can absolutely do amphibious assaults (they did plenty of it in WW2, most notably Normandy), and the Marines can do air assaults.
You can enter with a foreign passport in a ceremony or what type of identification for immigrants
Wtf is fort Moore? Does he mean fort benning?
They don’t show the weeks on end in the field or the days upon days of cleaning weapons…
So is graduation after BCT or after OSUT?
Osut is the training all together so you graduate after 22 weeks there is no such thing as ait or bct its the same all the way through
I’m so wanna do this!!
you want to sweep motorpools, scrub toilets and mow lawns and waste a whole lot of time, moreso than other soldiers, and be treated like a little kid? go 11b!

And speaking of baby....you can't spell infantry without infant. People in the army in general (to a much greater degree than navy and air force) get treated like little retarded children and it will be even worse with 11b.

Yes to share with their marine and navy buddies.😉
What happened to the shark attack?
We're is the square bashing
22 weeks of Fun
Biggest mistake the army could do was let females are in the infantry and male dominated roles. Not saying women can’t dish out the same, but the endurance level between sexes doesn’t come close to what a male brings to the battlefield.
It’s terrifying. And when a real war starts they are gonna get a lot of boys killed. Either trying to help these females or them just being incompetent. It’s gonna be a rude awakening. Better pray to god they stay in the rear with the gear when the unit gets deployed
