Linda yes I know why you loved it lower standards for woman. see what i mean women don't to sign for selective . Yes Linda I did 1978 FT Jackson I seen it firsthand .
I couldn't believe my luck when i joined at 26 years old, the drill sergeant that walked on my bus was a childhood friend of mine that had moved away when we were 18 after joining...all the drill Sergeants knew i was his friend and it ended up being a easy basic training for me personally.
Thanks for sharing that man. I’m about to be 28 and had thoughts of not joining anymore cause of my age. I thought there’d be no way I can keep up with all the young guys.
@@Mr1damian 28 is still young! I joined when I was 40, after they raised the recruiting age, back in 2007. There were several guys my age in the basic training Company at Ft. Benning. A Co. 2/54,
I joined the Marine Corps at 26 dude, it is not uncommon at all. You will not be treated differently nor get “special attention”. It’s just the way it is. Don’t let that hinder your choice man.
That's actually how they are taught. My brother was a marine drill instructor and he told me that for hours upon hours they would practice yelling at trees. Perfecting that deep raspy voice.
We were the first class for a new DI. He told us how he’d practiced in the mirror to get his DI face perfect and had his opening line ready. He just needed a target and he found it in the form of a good sized recruit named Cruz. I remember it like yesterday. On the cattle car to old tank hill Cruz was staring at this DI with a dumbfounded look and our DI gave him a death stare and yelled out “ what’s the matter with you boy, you wanna f$ck me or something?” Cruz wanted to disappear and we made space around him in a hurry even in that hot dusty cattle car. Lol. Great times.
Do they even really need practice after first time? They do this so often to so many new groups of people that at one point it should come straight ouf of their spines from the sheer amount of repetition.
Advice for anyone going to boot. 1. LISTEN, ALWAYS LISTEN and do exactly what you're told. 2. Realize it's just a game of sorts. The point is to make sure you follow orders and slowly teach you the basics of military decorum and tradition. 3. You're going to fail exercises no matter how hard you try. BUT TRY 4. Don't clown around, ever. 5. When you're in the barracks at night, particularly the first couple weeks or so. ASSUME the Drill Sergeants are wandering around waiting for someone to start talking when lights go out. I had a drill sergeant dressed as a recruit catch us talking, told us we were dead in the morning. 6. Know that even when you don't mess up, you're going to get berated and exercised anyways. 7. The first couple of nights are the worst, if you get past that, the rest is easier. Not because it's tough per se, but because you realize what you just got yourself into and that reality hits hard. 8. Show effort at all times, it'll keep them off your back. 9. Know that Boot staff will purposely try to relax you in order to see if you all get too relaxed. So don't fall for it.
The army is for people that can't think for them self, to many civilians have died from US soldiers in the Middle East, just because you have to follow someone that just wants to kill,
Look... it isn’t hard. The goal is to not be THAT GUY. Don’t bring attention to yourself. Let it be someone else... do what you’re told, do it fast and you’ll be fine. There’s always THAT GUY. You just don’t wanna be him (or her).
@@MyaWoyicki-f9wI have not personally been in the military, but my dad has. His advice is as follows: 1. Work on your physical strenght, everything aspect of it, trust me you’ll need it. 2. Don’t take anything the drill seargents say personally, its just to make sure the soldiers are ready for the military.
Lol oh man... the risks you would take not doing as you were told, all part of the fun lol if u get caught you'd get shouted at but I'm thick skinned so didn't effect me, just playing the game lol
Try telling that to my platoon full of ESL's, English second language, bunch of Hispanic females who could NOT stop talking in formation. We were ALWAYS pushing.
be good enough to avoid suspicion, but don't do well enough to stand out...I made the mistake of knowing shit before I went in, and a particular infantry DS rode me the whole time...but goddamn it he made me into a soldier
Back in my old Army days, "HOLY crap Private Pyle!!!" He told you to do push-ups, not something obscene to the ground of My Military Post. YOU HAVE JUST OOOOOOOOOFFENDED ME AND ALL OTHERS AROUND YOU!! GET ON YO BACK AND GIMME SOME FLUTTER KICKS UNTIL WE TELL YOU WHEN TO STOP!!!! I MIGHT HAVE TO CALL THE MILITARY POLICE TO SEE IF THE GROUND GONNA PRESS CHARGES ON YOU!!!
@@gilgamesh8334 Also if your wondering I was in basic in 2009 and left the same year, so if you're wondering how I did all that stuff I mentioned above I had a lot of time 11 years (mind you I did kickboxing 2 years before I joined basic so kickboxing 13 years all the other stuff came after I left). I'm 26 now.
I got ran over by recruits getting off the bus! Then, to make things worse, I owed him 50 push ups before I even got up! Go figure..... But it was the best 15 weeks I ever had in my life!
We called our drill sergeant drill sergeant Batman because he just sounded like Batman and the other platoons were even scared of him. He would smoke the dogshit out of us but he made us the best. We won every compeition and got honor platoon and he was nominated as the best drill sergeant by the end of osut.
I admire this highly professional outing. Even with the strict orders, there are ways others not catching up were encouraged. I can also imagine if everyone is compulsorily made to undergo training like this while growing up for multiple benefits.
I just graduated basic yesterday. When i got to Fort Jackson, i was in this exact bus and had this exact same Drill Sergeant at reception. He toned it down for the cameras big time, thats allllll im gonnna say.
Went thru Basic at Fort Jackson back in 1993. They can't smack you around or hit you but they will smoke the hell out of you and/or yell at you so much you'll wish they would just slap you upside the head and get it over with.
Good Luck Troops. You will do fine. I thank God for my service in the US Army. Best thing ever happened to me. It gave me all the confidence I needed for Life. If you are Disciplined, You can and will reach all of your goals .I wish all youngsters had the opportunity to serve in our armed forces.
Let’s all have a moment of silence for my mans in the white Ts and struggling doing push-ups and with crazy papers falling over and no only that but when they entered the big room his papers where falling out and the guard was talking to him again, I hope he is doing well, he is trying to start to serve our country 🇺🇸
John Doe yea you can see everyone’s flaws that their going to have to hammer out. Some were being double jointed some were being consistent but not explosive enough, it’s brutal but it’s also so cool to see the bad habits they came their with vs their new version of themselves it’s such an improvement. And those DIs are so experienced they already see each individuals shit that they will need to fix probably just based off how they performed their pushups. So cool
For those who thought of joining this like myself, let me tell ya, it is absolutely not an easy process being in there shoes. I just found out that I couldn’t join because of my health conditions just adhd and a learning disability, so there’s no way I’d be eligible to be in the military but! I definitely am glad I did research on this and seeing videos like this, highly makes me wish I could be there. Shout out to the recruits that go through this become the best soldiers that serves and protects our country! For those that think this is easy or think it’s nothing…. You don’t know at all until you get off the bus!
oh boy. this brings back memories. I remember training at fort Jackson. If any of yall go remember to don't try to be the best because that will make them think that you find it too easy and they will give you much harder work.
That is the attitude of a mediocre loser. I have been through basic training, I have been a Drill Sergeant, I have graduated from Officer Candidate School, I was a Tactical Officer (Equivalent of a DS at OCS), I have been in about every situation imaginable and that kind of advice is antithetical to reality and the way professionals think. Always do your best no matter what and you will be a success. No one is punished for being outstanding.
Grew up on military bases and my dad was a drill Sergeant at work and home, this was my life. I didn’t realize how strong he made me and my brother, thanks Dad! Sure do miss him.😢
My dad was like this and neither he nor his dad was in the military lol. People are always like man y0ur dad was mean. I'm like nah he was fucking awesome. Discipline has always been and always will be love.
Gotta appreciate it in the long run I’m a base brat myself my dad was a DI and I dealt with bct for 17 years and he expected me to voluntarily sign up for this…. Hell no I feel after the childhood I had after graduating High school I deserved an honorable discharge 😂
A badass: Teleports out of the bus and into proper formation in a split second. Drill Sargent: What you too good to walk like the rest of us?!?! F. A. I L
Same here in Germany, there's a documentary on the YT channel of the German army where a freshman got up 10 minutes early in the morning and the drill instructor actually sent him back to bed lmao
We arrived late at Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri on a Friday night. The supply personnel had to be called in back to work and were not happy. They threw underpants and towels to us and we traded for the right size. The second night at the reception center the guy in the bunk above me went to the latrine and broke the mirror and cut his wrists. I was so tired and cold I slept through it all. I was in the third platoon and we had the best drill sergeants in the company. God bless you Drill Sergeants Bey and Birdsong for getting me through basic training 51 years ago. Charlie, Charlie, C-1-3. Drive on Charlie, Drive on! From Missouri I spent the next 31 months in Seoul, South Korea and got out as an E5. Where did all those years go?
No disrespect whatsoever I’m just saying I would’ve been so dumb Drill Sergeant: you will address me as drill sergeant everytime I speak to you do u understand? Me: yEs SiR
Huge tip for basic, DO WHAT YOURE TOLD! Nothing more nothing less!!!! Address them in the wrong way and they WILL make life a living hell even after basic
That’s fair advice 😂 you’d be surprised how easy it is to mess up in basic, they’ll legit make some instructions unclear so that they can smoke you for not doing it right. But great listening skills, moving quickly and doing what your told is your best chance of flying under the radar 😂
HammerBann OH yeah don’t sign up to fight for your country, don’t sign up for something that can pay for your college, your health insurance, and your housing all you gotta do is go 9 weeks without your family and make connections with random strangers, who at the end of those 9 weeks you will be willing to take a bullet for. Signing that dotted line was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. How about you say “I won’t do this shit” other people believe they were meant to join the military. Watch your words before you comment on someone else’s words asshole.
“Raise you’re hand now!” “If there is no one in front of you put your hand down!” Kid in the red hoodie at the front:”I have been played, toyed with and quite possibly bamboozled”.
Oh my god. Did this 2 years ago, exactly the same as I remember it. Had a Polish DS at reception and could not understand a single word he was saying. That resulted in a long ass week at the reception batt.
no, by the time he finishes giving you attention you don't want, you'll be willing to give him *almost* anything to leave you the hell alone. The process can be made way harder than you really want it to be...
My daughter did her swearing in today and leaves for there tomorrow. She’s a little bitty thing and this makes me afraid for her. Especially all those sit ups. I’m sure she will succeed though.
Size doesn’t matter, not really. All she has to do is follow orders, and the more she does, the less she has to struggle with extra sets. In the end, she’ll most likely learn to be wary of her associates because what they do can get everyone in trouble. And if she cries, that’s honestly nothing to be ashamed of, because there’s a lot of guys out there who cry during this too, so she isn’t weak, just stressed. You just gotta push on through something like this.
Ft. Jackson is known as summer camp Jackson, or fort Snoopy. It is by far the easiest basic training in the country. Once you get out of the 1st month of classes, the rest is a lot of fun. Obstacle courses, rifle ranges, grenade range, more obstacle courses... good times that actually go by very fast. There is nothing hard about basic training, and it is designed so that the vast majority of people pass.
@@johnthomas1422John, I agree. I new people that did not pass, and I was one of them. We pass anyway.....well that was during the Vietnam War. I guess they needed us as target. Guess what....I did stay 20 years. The money was good and at home I was broke all the time. That is why all those lazy officers stay for many years. They make a lot of money doing nothing.....then they claim they do it for their country. Ja, ja, I was always laughing about that one.
O Jermine, naw. It wasn’t that bad. Seemed rough while there at first. Once you’re in the swing of it though it isn’t bad at all. The DI’s seemed a bit calmer in this video though.... I went through in ‘97
Actually is 86 when I went to Ft Leonard wood. There was a lot more yelling. We didn't have eco-ed then and it wasn't weekend down for the female sex back then. Echo-5-3 1986-87
O Jermine Not for me. Got there and the Drill Sargents were just tired. So they just done what they needed to do during reception and said thanks for joining. Starting our actual Basic was a different story.
Fort Jackson, SC April 13, 1989. I served 20 yrs , 6 months and 18 days! #Hoorah!! 💚 It was the best decision of my life! I joined when I was 25. My first duty station was in Germany, my choice and it was amazing! I'm so proud to have served my country! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
spent my time at fort jackson south carolina in 1965.hot hot hot.sand fleas and pine trees.cadra most from world war two and korea.tough training but they trained you right.met a lot of good guys and they were fare what they were trying to train you they knew your life would depend on how you learned your training.eas glad to learn what i did.training also came in handy in my civilian life.
Seeing people getting yelled at for making even the slightest of mistakes is very nerve wracking but also shows how used to being catered to we are, this opens your eyes
These people had all kinds of time to get off his bus. When I went into basic we had only 10 seconds and 9 of them were gone. Last person off bus had 50 pushups to do. 1979 to 1983
I remember getting off this bus at 1AM after waking up at 4AM the day before to make a 6AM flight. Finished initial processing just in time for 4AM wakeup call. The next 17 hours were the longest of my life. Nearly 36 hours without sleep in such a high-stress environment didn't mix well.
@@BornGoldstar I was definitely having borderline psychotic episodes after 24 hours. Every time we went to chow felt like an entire day passed between the previous meal.
My dad was a Lt Colonel in the National Guard and he took my Mom, brothers and me and my twin sister there to watch a "live round" show of weapons. All I can say is these men deserve ALL the love and respect America can give them. They first were showing everyone how and what they used to blow up tanks with and man it was so loud, I could not hear anyone talking. It was very impressive what they did. My dad was known as the "weekend warrior" and ran convoys through the lower part of SC and he loved being a part of something bigger than himself!
Me : Exists Drill Sergeant : 😡 Edit: whoa look at them likes, i went to basic training in 2019 of October. I literally watched this video and commented before i left for Basic😭
I did Basic at Jackson in 1987/1988...1/28 Charlie Co...Our Senior DS was this huge amateur competitive body builder, SFC Harrison...The guy scared the crap out of me the first week but busy the end he was pretty cool...Glad I did it, it was a memorable experience...
I like imagining that there's just this one soldier totally defying commands and filming everything on his phone and for some reason the drill sergeants all have zero problem with this.
@@nikki6284 you like imagining?imagining what? Dragons? Unicorns? That one day the economy will fall and it will take down everything the human race has done in the past 10,000 years with it?
The thing is, you can only do as many push ups as your mucles will allow. Muscle fatigue is an option, but once your supervisor figures out you can't do anymore of 1 exercise, they change the exercise. Overhead arm claps are far worse than push ups. Just stay down, and do bad form push ups, that's the trick.
That was me too, but I joined because I just wanted to do something with my life/ wanted something different and honestly it's not bad at all. Basic training isn't as hard as everyone makes it seem, it's just nerve racking since it's a new environment with new rules but you get used to it plus you meet amazing people at training who become your best friends. You should give it a go, just saying 💪
Amazing how life changes one's perspective. I'm a middle-aged man living in great comfort..... and I envy every single one of these new recruits. Yes, it's hard and scary and exhausting but bless them all, what an opportunity.
I think the most nerve racking thing about this video is in the beginning when their all on the bus still. They have no idea what to expect and once someone calls out screaming they go into silent panic.
@@TheSPEEZY99 I said that from past experience, i drove recruits from MEPS to the airport. Along with a couple of Air Force Master Sargeants lecturing them the entire trip. And believe me, I did hear it a hundred times over. My comment was sarcastic humor and the irony of that moment. Not as a "party pooper".
The best 23 years of my life and I would gladly do it all over again I can remember that night like it was just now thank you so much for this video what great memories fort Jackson all the way❤❤❤❤
The recruit in the white t-shirt is taking it so seriously and has his whole heart in it to be the best soldier he can be. I hope he passed basic training and is now serving his country. The expression on his face just made me proud, he is already a hero.
You could tell he was really putting his all in when they first started. He really did try to do more when the ds was yelling at him, but he just couldn't get himself up. Lots of respect for his attempt tho, I hope he's graduated!
Pretty sure you wouldn't. It's different being there, then it is sitting in your chair watching it on youtube. Especially when you get to actual training. It's a mentally draining experience at first.
I'm an old lady now but I was at Ft. Jackson for basic training in 1978. This brings back sooo many memories. Men and women did not train together in those days.
I was there in 1977 I remember watching the female soldiers train, I always did admire them ! I ended up in Germany & Vicenza Italy later on, i ets in 1984 thank you for your service and to all the other vets out there !
No, clearly they don't. However, a lot of armed forces around the world do train males and females together, and very effectively as well. I guess you didn't know as much about military as you thought
I think its chilling even with the best attitude. Its honestly one of the best means of learning to handle anxiety and emotional control. You're getting screamed at by an extremely intimidating person and you have to remain as stoic as possible. Even in this video they called out one guy for making a pissed off face during PT.... But still lol even the most patriotic and passionate recruit is gonna be taken by surprise. There's no true way of preparing you just gotta jump in and adapt fast
@@rawkguy4896 I guess I mean with the attitude you described… To understand they are teaching you to handle anxiety and be able to keep your executive functions while fight or flight is kicking in. That nobody is actually going to hurt you in a way that isn’t good for you. The attitude of this is good for me, not patriotism or motivation or anything. It’s what’s kept me calm through everything. Translates to life. It’s all a test. Then you die. Next right thing. Next right thing. Take responsibility. Next right thing.
Although I pretty much led a sedentary lifestyle before the Army, when I knew for sure I was going to join, I made sure I could run 4 miles without a break, could do at least 40 push-ups, and knock-out 60 sit-ups. Best to be ready both physically and mentally. If you have even one rebellious bone in your body, leave it at the door, keep your mouth shut, do what you're told, don't take anything personally, and you'll be good to go.
@@Phillybean15Productions The Army and Marines might differ there Philly lol. But you keep playing those video games and making assumptions. There is a method to the madness. And it's to keep you alive when the shit hits the fan.
OMG I remember this (1988) like it was yesterday. Drill Sargents are some of the toughest, consistent but compassionate (last week of basic training) ppl I’ve ever met. Absolute respect for Drill Sargents
I was 17 when I joined in 1972. Scariest and best thing I could have done at the time. Learned a lot that helped me later in life. Thanks for your service 😀
May i ask what you became afterwards? Are you successful and happy in life and even if you didn't become successful are you still happy as to where you are in life?
@@drmr5959 They will indeed ! They are just getting started, pain. is the ultimate goal..No, seriously they do it to teach you discipline. It's really, for your own good, and meant to make you a better person. Who wouldnt want that? Theres always room for improvement. Army is the Best. If you want to become a better person. To find out you have strengths you didn't even know you have, and to be able to complete your goals with complete confidence, then I'd suggest you sign up. Make it a career. You wont be sorry. Army life is tough but, very rewarding.
This drill sgt is more motivating than scary. I’d go to war with him in a heartbeat. I’m currently with the Navy , but love watching footage from other branches of the military. End of the day we are all on the same team.
Detroit to Ft Dix, winter '84. We arrived around 0100. Inprocessed until 0300. Reville, 0500. 8 weeks of learning how to conduct ourselves in a military manner. The best experience ever. Some things you don't forget. ALL THE WAY DRILL, SERGEANT!

I found out after Basic, that the Drill Instructors get most of their lines from Full Metal Jacket.

Advice for anyone going to boot.
1. LISTEN, ALWAYS LISTEN and do exactly what you're told.
2. Realize it's just a game of sorts. The point is to make sure you follow orders and slowly teach you the basics of military decorum and tradition.
3. You're going to fail exercises no matter how hard you try. BUT TRY
4. Don't clown around, ever.
5. When you're in the barracks at night, particularly the first couple weeks or so. ASSUME the Drill Sergeants are wandering around waiting for someone to start talking when lights go out. I had a drill sergeant dressed as a recruit catch us talking, told us we were dead in the morning.
6. Know that even when you don't mess up, you're going to get berated and exercised anyways.
7. The first couple of nights are the worst, if you get past that, the rest is easier. Not because it's tough per se, but because you realize what you just got yourself into and that reality hits hard.
8. Show effort at all times, it'll keep them off your back.
9. Know that Boot staff will purposely try to relax you in order to see if you all get too relaxed. So don't fall for it.
Show up in some kind of shape.
Have you ever been yelled at by the drill SGT's and how was it like

It is a no win situation, and is designed to be that way.

be good enough to avoid suspicion, but don't do well enough to stand out...I made the mistake of knowing shit before I went in, and a particular infantry DS rode me the whole time...but goddamn it he made me into a soldier

That was the most polite DS I've ever seen. You have 2 minutes to get off this bus, I had negative 5 seconds to get off his bus, lol.
Right I never got 2 minutes
I wasn't given a time to get off the bus, however, I was in a late arrivals group.
I got ran over by recruits getting off the bus! Then, to make things worse, I owed him 50 push ups before I even got up! Go figure..... But it was the best 15 weeks I ever had in my life!
HURRY UP! lol.
It was....you have 30 seconds to get off from the f'ing bus and 20 of them are gone!! Now smoke your ass!!
This is possibly the most chill drill sergeant I have ever seen. And he was still pretty scary.
Exactly
It’s because the cameras were there. When no cameras are there is usually rough. However, the real fun is when BCT starts
Look....that monotone voice of that DS will scare the shxt outta anybody. I'm a witness
We called our drill sergeant drill sergeant Batman because he just sounded like Batman and the other platoons were even scared of him. He would smoke the dogshit out of us but he made us the best. We won every compeition and got honor platoon and he was nominated as the best drill sergeant by the end of osut.
If you mess up hes disappointed and thats the worst things ever
I admire this highly professional outing. Even with the strict orders, there are ways others not catching up were encouraged. I can also imagine if everyone is compulsorily made to undergo training like this while growing up for multiple benefits.
I just graduated basic yesterday. When i got to Fort Jackson, i was in this exact bus and had this exact same Drill Sergeant at reception. He toned it down for the cameras big time, thats allllll im gonnna say.
I have a question do drill sergents punch people if they don't obey or trash talk them?
real jew no bro lol. they can get in lots of trouble if they do. theres always the rare case it does happen but i wouldnt worry about

That is the attitude of a mediocre loser.

Always do your best no matter what and you will be a success. No one is punished for being outstanding.

Hannah Snyder wow. Who would have thought that you’re suppose to do what you’re told? Jeez. Thanks for the big tip!
That’s fair advice 😂 you’d be surprised how easy it is to mess up in basic, they’ll legit make some instructions unclear so that they can smoke you for not doing it right. But great listening skills, moving quickly and doing what your told is your best chance of flying under the radar 😂
HammerBann OH yeah don’t sign up to fight for your country, don’t sign up for something that can pay for your college, your health insurance, and your housing all you gotta do is go 9 weeks without your family and make connections with random strangers, who at the end of those 9 weeks you will be willing to take a bullet for.
Signing that dotted line was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. How about you say “I won’t do this shit” other people believe they were meant to join the military. Watch your words before you comment on someone else’s words asshole.

Chloe Miller I’m proud of her! I know you are too. Just wait til you see her at graduation! Best thing EVERRRRR!
She better get use to it, I seen a lot of girls cry in basic. It’s moreso a mental challenge than a physical challenge
Size doesn’t matter, not really. All she has to do is follow orders, and the more she does, the less she has to struggle with extra sets. In the end, she’ll most likely learn to be wary of her associates because what they do can get everyone in trouble.
And if she cries, that’s honestly nothing to be ashamed of, because there’s a lot of guys out there who cry during this too, so she isn’t weak, just stressed. You just gotta push on through something like this.
She's gonna do great! I too leave for basic (I'm going to Fort Sill however) in 2 weeks!

Ft. Jackson is known as summer camp Jackson, or fort Snoopy. It is by far the easiest basic training in the country. Once you get out of the 1st month of classes, the rest is a lot of fun. Obstacle courses, rifle ranges, grenade range, more obstacle courses... good times that actually go by very fast. There is nothing hard about basic training, and it is designed so that the vast majority of people pass.

The thing is, you can only do as many push ups as your mucles will allow. Muscle fatigue is an option, but once your supervisor figures out you can't do anymore of 1 exercise, they change the exercise. Overhead arm claps are far worse than push ups. Just stay down, and do bad form push ups, that's the trick.

This brings back memories. I was at Fort Jackson in September 1986 for basic training.

I think the most nerve racking thing about this video is in the beginning when their all on the bus still. They have no idea what to expect and once someone calls out screaming they go into silent panic.
5:40 He convinced ME to fix my face and make my attitude less visible!
😄
@@donnaevans5131 my exact thoughts
I'm hoping we get to wear masks for most of this. 😀😷
Doubt you'll wear a mask doing physical.

" When i tell you to get off my bus" Bus driver looking at him sideways
Haahah !!!
😂😂😂
Pretty sure he's heard it a hundred times over.
@@deanladue2327 oh shut up party pooper understand a fucking joke.
@@TheSPEEZY99 I said that from past experience, i drove recruits from MEPS to the airport. Along with a couple of Air Force Master Sargeants lecturing them the entire trip. And believe me, I did hear it a hundred times over. My comment was sarcastic humor and the irony of that moment. Not as a "party pooper".
The best 23 years of my life and I would gladly do it all over again I can remember that night like it was just now thank you so much for this video what great memories fort Jackson all the way❤❤❤❤
The recruit in the white t-shirt is taking it so seriously and has his whole heart in it to be the best soldier he can be. I hope he passed basic training and is now serving his country. The expression on his face just made me proud, he is already a hero.
Yeah but he couldn’t do 20 push-ups without draggin
@@cashmoney2909 That will come with time and practice. The fact that he's determined is what matters most because it'll push him
You could tell he was really putting his all in when they first started. He really did try to do more when the ds was yelling at him, but he just couldn't get himself up. Lots of respect for his attempt tho, I hope he's graduated!
I thought the same thing. He'll probably be the most professional out of the whole bunch
@@cashmoney2909 everyone starts somewhere remember where u came from what matters is progress
I already feel bad for the kid in the white shirt, my guy is already struggling and things havent even started. Hes going to have a hard time.😔
Hopefully he gets more organized.
Dude is probably fairly ripped now
🤣🤣👀
Dude was doing proper pushups with full range of motion, no wonder he got gassed before the other half reppers, gotta give credit where credit is due
@@CroPukyBro right
If I join I think I’d struggle with trying to keep a straight face especially whenever they’re yelling💀
Nooooooope. Ms ma'am I would be crying 😅😅 plsss. Although if I'm nervous I would break out laughing.
@@arellasamuel7866 yea that’s my fear rn
nah its a WHOLE different feeling when you're actually there lmao, cuz you feel like your career is on the line every time.
Please please don’t laugh my friend,believe me you will regret it 😭
Pretty sure you wouldn't. It's different being there, then it is sitting in your chair watching it on youtube. Especially when you get to actual training. It's a mentally draining experience at first.
Fort dix Dec 1987 basic training army. I was barely 18 years old. The experience molded my life for the better. I'll always remember
👋🏽Ft Dix, November 88..made me who I am❤
The drill sergeant gotta move the disneyland line like this
Right lol
😃
😂
I'm an old lady now but I was at Ft. Jackson for basic training in 1978. This brings back sooo many memories. Men and women did not train together in those days.
I was there in 1977 I remember watching the female soldiers train, I always did admire them ! I ended up in Germany & Vicenza Italy later on, i ets in 1984 thank you for your service and to all the other vets out there !
Was the same in the early 2000s, just watched the females from a distance while we actually trained. Military going to shit...
USAF DIRT BOYZ Or you could be like any other troop of any branch and handle training around women.
No, clearly they don't. However, a lot of armed forces around the world do train males and females together, and very effectively as well. I guess you didn't know as much about military as you thought
Air Force , 74 . Segregated as well . I still think that is the way it should be to train
Great drill sgt.
He’s not very harsh. He’s clear, concise, efficient, direct.
It’s chilling only if you come with the wrong attitude.
I think its chilling even with the best attitude. Its honestly one of the best means of learning to handle anxiety and emotional control. You're getting screamed at by an extremely intimidating person and you have to remain as stoic as possible. Even in this video they called out one guy for making a pissed off face during PT....
But still lol even the most patriotic and passionate recruit is gonna be taken by surprise. There's no true way of preparing you just gotta jump in and adapt fast
@@rawkguy4896 I guess I mean with the attitude you described…
To understand they are teaching you to handle anxiety and be able to keep your executive functions while fight or flight is kicking in. That nobody is actually going to hurt you in a way that isn’t good for you.
The attitude of this is good for me, not patriotism or motivation or anything.
It’s what’s kept me calm through everything. Translates to life.
It’s all a test. Then you die.
Next right thing. Next right thing. Take responsibility. Next right thing.
@@SiiNTiNo one cares.
Yeah. No Fear for these Troops
@@Manofpeas5639You cared enough to comment.
Graduated today. I sign out for AIT in the morning. Machine Gun tripwire nearly everyday made any push up smoke session feel like a lazypool dip.
“everyone turn your phones off and put them in your bag”

That was camera guy filming lol not student
@@vr8938 well yah no shit
@@vr8938 That's the joke.
bully maguire is filming
😂🤣
Although I pretty much led a sedentary lifestyle before the Army, when I knew for sure I was going to join, I made sure I could run 4 miles without a break, could do at least 40 push-ups, and knock-out 60 sit-ups. Best to be ready both physically and mentally. If you have even one rebellious bone in your body, leave it at the door, keep your mouth shut, do what you're told, don't take anything personally, and you'll be good to go.
@@Phillybean15Productions you obviously aint cut out to be a soldier if your fefes cant handle being yelled at, lol!
thanks lol
@@Phillybean15Productions The Army and Marines might differ there Philly lol. But you keep playing those video games and making assumptions. There is a method to the madness. And it's to keep you alive when the shit hits the fan.
Don't let yourself stand out either. If they see you falling behind or showing off the DS will make you suffer.
If you abandon any sense of individual morals, you too can someday follow orders to tear gas children!
Ah, the bus ride...it was so quite you could hear a mouse fart.
hahahahaa
😂😂😂

OMG I remember this (1988) like it was yesterday. Drill Sargents are some of the toughest, consistent but compassionate (last week of basic training) ppl I’ve ever met. Absolute respect for Drill Sargents
I was drafted in 1972 .
No matter what people tell you or how prepared you think you are getting off that bus is like stepping into another world !
Why?
@@audreywilborn2018 A strict drill Sargent is cliché. I thought you were talking about another world we don’t know.
It instantly can make your heart drop
To your stomach
This was in 2017. Imagine, these people are probably full on soldiers now..
Man, I went through there August 2017. It's a trip to see this video from just about the same time.
Living the pog life lol
Yeah possibly a few at E5
Pillaging the innocent
Sophisticated Luna cry me a river.
Wow! Nothing has changed since 1977. C-3-1 tankhill. I’m almost 60 now and my drill sergeants faces are still burned into my memory.
That's a reception battalion, it's way harder once you actually get to basic
@@MickeyHorrigan Maybe you didnt read my comment correctly. Been there, done that!

Thank you for your service. I’m hoping to go into the Rangers.
What MOS were you?
Gavin Browning Good luck.
The Motion of Pictures cheers man, I’ll need it
My friend is going to fort Jackson tomorrow night I hope he does very well!! Wish him very well!
I was 17 when I joined in 1972. Scariest and best thing I could have done at the time. Learned a lot that helped me later in life. Thanks for your service 😀
May i ask what you became afterwards? Are you successful and happy in life and even if you didn't become successful are you still happy as to where you are in life?
I turned 19 in on Ft. Jackson in 1974. I didn't say a word to anyone about it.
19 when I went in in 99
@@Mandalorian_of_Christ same but I turned 19 in basic
What were those pushups, I'm surprised they didn't yell about them.
oh well they are new
Yeah that's fresh meat for ya. The real pain is just around the corner.
This is just the beginning. They will be schooled on how to do a correct pushup😀
@@drmr5959 They will indeed ! They are just getting started, pain. is the ultimate goal..No, seriously they do it to teach you discipline. It's really, for your own good, and meant to make you a better person. Who wouldnt want that? Theres always room for improvement. Army is the Best. If you want to become a better person. To find out you have strengths you didn't even know you have, and to be able to complete your goals with complete confidence, then I'd suggest you sign up. Make it a career. You wont be sorry. Army life is tough but, very rewarding.
It's the army bro lol
This drill sgt is more motivating than scary. I’d go to war with him in a heartbeat. I’m currently with the Navy , but love watching footage from other branches of the military. End of the day we are all on the same team.
