Army & Air Force Swap Drill Sergeants PT 13

- What happens when you take an Army Drill Sergeant and swap him for an Air Force Instructor? This may sound odd but that is what happened recently when theses two very different Servicemen got the chance to walk in each other's boots. Kenia Mills has the story.
Imagine a bunch of navy recruits waiting for their RDCs to walk in and they suddenly hear, "SIT UP STRAIGHT AND LOOK AT ME RIGHT NOW!"
amazing lol
😂😂😂
😂 Rah
Oh God 😂
Literally OCS
And THIS, my droogie brothers, is how you actually create a Joint environment. For all that we use the J word in everything, we are far, far too insular between our branches. Particularly the disconnect between the Air Force (who speak Dude), and the Army, (who speak Hooah). At least the Marine/Navy share a lingo in their multi-service relationship. The next step is to create actual joint units again, guide-ons mixed and joined both administratively and tactically. Not just LNO's and FIST/JTAC swapping.
Very professional young Instructor. Color this old NCO impressed.
+4c1dr3fl3x Are you military?
Yarrrr, matey.
The Marine Corps is a division of the Navy if I recall correctly? So I would assume they both share a lot in common between their training environments.
I spent 12 years in the Army National Guard, the training is exactly the same as if I would have joined the regular army, but in my case I joined as a 19K, (don't ask why LOL, I could have picked any MOS). Anyhow, I went to Fort Knox, KY, the training consisted of a mix of basic training and MOS training, they called it OSUT (One Stop Unit Training) back then, not sure how they do it now, I assume it still works about the same. 15 weeks of training, and I remember asking our drill sergeants about some of the training towards the end and they said that a lot of stuff will be different once you graduate basic training and get to your unit...that was exactly true. A lot was different after I got back to my unit, still had a lot to learn, but after about a year with my unit the next training year was so much easier, once you get used to how the training rotation went.
I got lucky, a couple of the drill sergeants I had were Vietnam veterans, they taught a lot of stuff outside the regular training, after a tour in Iraq I realized just how much the drill sergeants really instilled during that 15 weeks of training. You sit there during basic training and ask yourself why the hell are we being taught this, why are we doing this stuff....its all still in the back of your mind years later, and when you are put into that situation its amazing how much that training comes back to you instantly.
I was a Sergeant for 3 years before I got out at the end of my enlistment, I enjoyed it. I always got asked by other NCO's why I was out working along side the lower enlisted. I always said I will not send a fellow soldier to do something that I would not do myself. I didn't use my rank as a way to get out of doing tasks, I didn't feel that was the right way. I didn't care what rank someone was, as long as they were doing their job properly and safely. Yes I could be an A-Hole if I needed to be but I found it was much more pleasant and far better cooperation being more easy going. The extra training to be an NCO was partially what got me LOL, I hate paperwork HAHA!!!
4c1dr3fl3x why aren't you in charge damnit
4c1dr3fl3x this could be the most tactically sound decision I've seen in a while
As was said, I'd LOVE to see a Marine DI in Lackland...hehe
Good story!, Thanks!!..lol
They actually had a couple, though, they were the ones running the "fat club" to get the trainees to lose weight. There is literally no difference between any of the Instructors from the branches. Don't see why people insist their are.
CaptAmericaUSAF. Let me know when!! that's go'n be comedy!!
CaptAmericaUSAF lol that would me funny AF
My TI had marines for parents we got our asses kicked
Sgt Hite is now my First Sergeant, preparing me for my transition to be an Air Force Military Training Instructor. I'm not surprised he's been mentoring and has been influential for so long!
Actually the command is not kind to BMTI's due to all the noise that comes with the job. Female recruits making accusations the TI touched them, or said something. People will say anything if they think it will help them get through or get them something. A BMTI came to work for me straight from Lackland. Returned ot his career field after 5 years. The horror stories of LOR's and Art15's that were just based on hearsay. Hope that has hanged since then. His knee's were shot from marching everyday. Took me a bit to get him back on point for the job but he worked hard just forgot stuff from his career field. What was shocking is they are totally different outside of that environment.
SSgt Hite is freaking awesome. I'm proud to say I had the honor of being screamed at by him.
Hell yeah brother
Holy shit! That's drill sgt peters! I was in 2nd platoon back in the summer of 2009 and he was the Drill Sgt of the cycle for our company. But he was 1st platoons drill sgt.
Good to see ya Drill Sgt!
Did he send you a DM instructing you to "Drop?"
Oh man, yes. This program was getting underway when I was in AF basic. My MTI was Air Force, but I had two Army instructors and a combat skills instructor who was an ex-Marine. VERY different teaching styles, and it was very enriching. All armed services need to get in on this collaboration. The Air Force's training program is already getting noticeably stronger for it. About time, too.
FINALLY!!! A comment that isn't the usual bull$hit of this training is a cakewalk compared to the marines, or my marine DI is tougher than your Army DS...blah blah blah!! To my marines, everything is a goddamn pissing contest! Maybe it might be a crayon eating contest, but the other branches aren't into that!
I went thru Lackland in 1972. Our TI has just shipped over from the USMC where he was a DI. SO I got to experience the "swap" as a trainee. Man did he have us marching sharp and proud and we won every Squadron and base athletic event and blew out marksmanship and course times. I guess I came out into the USAF, as a proud Marine :)
No you did not
@@mezcxl - you weren't there, so knock it off!!!! Troll elsewhere jarhead!
WRONG.
DI's and DS's always have godly voices i would love to see a marine di in the airforce
Ah, the serenade of having the whisper of death
Believe it or not...Air Force MTI's do yell, BUT the difference is, they expect the trainees to do what they're told without having to repeat themselves 100 times!! Personally, I don't need someone to SCREAM IN MY FACE to motivate me!! I can motivate myself!! If marine recruits need more screaming...great!!! 🤣🤣🤣. Do it right the first time, and they won't have to incessantly SCREAM!!
I'd support a unified training environment where regardless of service, all recruits have the same basic training experience for a few weeks, after which their training then becomes individualized per service.
Maybe for the other services, but not the Marine Corps…
Wouldn't work. The Marine Corps needs to have recruits go through hell during the entirety of their training, especially in the first couple weeks. They wouldn't give that up, but there are so many people who join the other branches to avoid that kinda stuff, so in order to avoid a decreased rate in recruiting the other branches wouldn't accept that. Different branches aim to attract different people. Marines for example want to be tough whereas the air force wants an easier/calmer military experience.
@@yeetusyeeterson5506 - first off, Marine recruit training isn't "hell!" I went through it in 1985, and to me, it was easy! It's just more SCREAMING!!!! If you need to be SCREAMED at, then you shouldn't join ANY branch! Secondly, Air Force BMT isn't "calm!". Just because they don't SCREAM as much as the marines, doesn't mean they're not trained! Air Force recruits don't need to be yelled at 24/7 to get the job done!! OO-fucking-RAH
@Big Dee bro you are the first marine ive seen to ever say this and finally someone understands! I was in the Army and while we didn't get screamed at as much as the marines (although there was a lot) we got essentially the same training. Thank you.
SSgt Hite was in my squadron in basic training pushing a flight just a couple weeks after i go there. He's a good instructor.
He looks like he's 13.
Seriously
Army and Air Force Drill Sergeant and Technical Instructor exchange is important to Foster team spirit and instill a positive and productive Joint Services Operations. The Marine Corps and Army does the same with their Drill Sergeants of the Army and Combat Instructors with the Marine Corps. Good To Go!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🤘💀
This is AWESOME! Especially with so much joint basing going on, it's important to know how the other services think and work!
My TI at Lackland in 1965 was Tsgt Gonzales who just happened to be an ex Marine. He reminded us of it every day too. Some didn't play the BMT game well and washed out but the rest of us left all the better for it. I'm now 70 y.o. but remember it like yesterday.
@Norie92 That's how AF BMT works. your flight's MTI is much more of a mentor and usually won't snap until you actually jack something up or make him look bad. It's all the other MTI's on base that tend to randomly "test" your bearing and discipline.
Great Idea! Both branches learn from each other from a process that started with our troops in 1944, D-Day +1 in Normandy, France. Land, Air & Sea!
Wow, 7 years ago and here we are.
If have liked to see the Army's DI take about his experience working with the Air Force, as well.
DS
Army has DS's not DI's. Marines have DI's.
I will deffinetly say this my drill sergeants I mean yeah they were pretty rough but I mean we gained mad respect for them. They taught us a lot while we were there and they didn't mind breaking things down Barney style for us if we didn't get it. I remember one time one of the other guys didn't know how to shave you know he had never shaved before a day in his life. One of our Drill SGTs was in the bathroom teaching this guy how to shave. Someone laughed about it and the Drill SGT flipped out on the guy who was laughing saying "how dare you laugh at this man, he had the integrity to say drill SGT can you teach me how to shave I never had a father growing up so I never had anyone to teach me. That takes guts private!" They became someone we respected and looked up to in a way.
There was a lot of Army/Air Force cross-training down at Lackland when I went through BMT.
That was my TI in Air Force basic training
This is a fantastic idea. All armed forces should host exchange programs like this regularly. -Former Airman
once an Airman, always an Airman, HOOAH!!
@@777Eliyahu - Hell yeah!!!
I realize I'm kinda old, but the AF TI looked about 12. Lackland was along time ago.
Chadd Holley 12 year olds were barely above five feet and weighed in the double digits in my day. More like 18-19
I was in Lackland in 1991, I hear ya. 😊
That's how I remember it too. I went through Lackland in 84'. I later became a Missileer (nuclear) - intellectual ability and becoming stress resilient was focus in tech school.
I like this due to the fact that it shows that we really are all on the same side and part of a team as opposed to those who rag other branches of service as if they were the enemy or lesser than whatever branch they're in, everybody has a part and when you need a target bombed and the AF or the Navy bombs that target you're grateful
drill sgt peters was a drill sgt in my cycle... outstanding NCO!
I think that's cool that different branches are inter training.it gives one another a sense of how the other does things and can be beneficial to future reference
As an Army vet I went through in 2005 and I kind of wish we did things a little more Marine. I like that they train to shoot farther, I like their emphasis on marksmanship, I like their emphasis on discipline and physical training. However they really should send everyone across to all the branches and keep these guys in leadership positions at drill sergeant (or whatever) schools and training commands. Everyone has a different method but it would be better to have things looked at at a lower level, at the drill sergeant and company/battalion level, and have them implement things, rather than getting stars involved (as they muck everything up)
It’s an old comment, although marines shoot farther, they also have a far larger target. They have a black silhouette (same size as our green ones) on a giant 6ftx6ft white sheet of paper against a green grass field. You can qualify even if you miss all the shots on the 500 yard target.
Alot of people may see this as a joke, but I think its something that all services should become part of, it makes the instructors more well rounded and learn new ways of training there troops
I did have a former Marine for a TI in AF basic. It was HELL from day one! But I am better from it.
James McDonald I feel you Army drill sergeant former marines🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕 And I was his favorite if you know what I mean..
Lol
Sure you did lol
WOW! "BEASTMASTERS" That was my same platoon when I went through BCT in 2000.
Ssg Andrus and peters were my drill sergeants. I'm about to submit my packet for drill sergeant because of these guys.
Chris Dilday did you get it?
He was my mti in basic and one of the funniest and most respectable guys I've ever met. He also could show anyone why the af isn't the pussy branch everyone thinks, he's spent more time doing more in Iraq then most military members. I was honored to train under him
I remember SSgt Hite when I was in bootcamp. Great TI !!
😁 I can imagine this may have been a difference for one too....since their dad was Army and ...army ...and Marine.
Can't we just love them all?☺
That’s was my platoon🙌🏽 Great memories Great Leadership !
I just graduated from this exact company! so it's funny to see this.
i wanna see a MC drill instructor swap places with an MTI, how interesting that would be
Haha yeah I'd love to see air force or army recruits get a wake up call of a drill instructor yelling in their face every day for 13 weeks
+Nicholas Shelton LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!
Lol. you are probably a pog. Try going through infantry basic
DONT YOU LOOK AT ME WHEN I TALK TO YOU
*GRAAAAHHHH!!!!*
*GRAAAAHHHHH!!!!*
*_SCREAAAAM IT!!!_*
Don't put the Army and Airforce in the same category of soft. They didn't even invite Marines to the largest amphibious landing in history.
Knox 06 I'll never go back lol!!
@carlolover1 Well in Navy OCS, its a combination of Marine Corps DI's and Chief Petty Officers that train the officer candidates. In the Naval Academy along with Navy Rotc, there are Marine enlisted that are part of the cadre. The Navy-Marine Corps relationship is administratively tighter than the Army-Air Force, but those pairs go hand in hand (Navy support logistics of Marine Corps and Air Force support logistics of the Army)
I had to deal with SSgt Hite almost every day at basic. one of the funniest people i have ever met. he can be pretty damn intimidating too lol. most of my funny stories involve that guy. a great MTI.
Ssgt hite was my mti for the first few weeks. His voice reminds me of BMT and was a very honorable guy. Aim high fly fight win!
Those poor Air Force guys probably need therapy afterwards.
Drill Sargent Peters seemed dead in the eyes after dealing with the air force.
Awesome! I met that DS when I was at BMT!
Why dont they ever show REAL drill sargeants....I didnt hear a single cuss word???
AU Warden Military Instructors are not allowed to cuss. They will cuss when not in the camera and not cuss when a Senior Military Instructor is around.
@@mmfishing1093 that’s the single funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life
Because it’s a video shown to the public. I can assure you that the intensity is dialed way up behind the cameras.
At least the army is trying to help the Air Force get more stricter
I remember SSGT Hite. He was big sister flight's MTI, and during the week I stayed with them, he helped me a LOT. Go Sgt. Hite!
That was my Basic Training company. D Company 2-47 at Sand Hill, Fort Benning. Destroyers!
naw it was beast masters before.. they must have changed it..
Foxtrot 2-47!
E Company 2-54 Sand Hill Fort Benning hooah Knights!
Wow! That's my old barracks! Different commander and company but that's my old bay, damn that's weird to see. Pissed they got rid off SDS Taylor and DS McCool, but glad they kept the paint job of the bay. A1-378 Assassins, 4th Plt Beastmasters! Keep up the good work.
HOLY FREAKING CRAP
I was in Bravo Co in 2/46 on Benning in '11! I'm having severe flashbacks, man. I remember we borrowed combative mats from Delta Co. :O
ProjectXv2 Did you not graduate? Bootcamp stories are for douches or people that cant hack it!
Tony Hays Uh no I'm on my 6th year actually.
Tony Hays I'm a 25B/25N. My job is relaxed. People hate on me, but secretly they wanna be me.
+ProjectXv2 im a 25N and was at A Co 2/47 lol
ProjectXv2
25B all the way.
@nightdevil6666 alot of people forget the airforce started out as the army airforce and the marines were originally part of the navy. Good to see someone remembers.
the air force will never know how hard it was in real army basic training lol..the airforce kept their uniforms clean lol
@jjointer That's because the Airforce use to be called the U.S. Army Air Force. They didn't seperate into the US AIr Force until 1947
NO. It was called the Army Air Corps.
man DS Peters was one of my drill sergeants in basic, rough guy but a damn good drill sergeant
No one branch is better than the other. We are all needed to make America what it is....
This is actually really cool. I'm going to benning in October
Must of been a cool experience.
I was in A 2/47. 4th platoon! Graduated on Dec 17 of this year lol
"To continue to WORK in this capacity" lol, chair force down.
Army drill sergeants are notoriously and historically more savage than Marines.
when i was in basic we werent even allowed to say "hooah" because the drill sergeants said we werent soldiers yet and only soldiers say "hooah"
Good ol sand hill. I'll never forget. C company 2/47. 1999. Good times.
2:29 my bros in that pic
SSGT Hite was the MTI of our brother flight in 2010 at the 322TRS FLT 476
That drill sargent that day experienced real pt training
My old basic training company. “Order and discipline drill sergeant”.
Oh damn thats 4th platoon Beastmasters!! Where my beastmasters at??? Thats the painting of DS Taylor on the door in the barracks!!!
I did basic at the same unit but in bravo company! Didn't even know that they did this there
Awesome 👍
I thnk its realy cool how we got a lot of different types of soldiers each doing there jods the best way possible
D 2/47 Was my basic unit in 2004! whoa.
he was my drill Sgt, it was a great experience to have and airforce di with us. beastmasters hooah
@jjointer Yep exactly right, I was in the AF too from 99-05, did tours in Afgan, the Air Force works with the Army as much as the Marines work with the Navy, I often got sent to Ft. Bliss in El Paso (sucky base btw) on TDY, but my home base was Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, loved it!
Wow! That's my old barracks, damn I was there 8 months ago! Different company and commander but that's my old unit. Pissed that they got rid of DS McCool answer SDS Taylor, but glad they kept the paint job, had to paint that shit myself. A1-378 Assassins, 4th Platoon Beastmasters!
I noticed they wear different shoes when they were doing their exercises. Do they provide you with a selection of shoes you're allowed to wear or are you allowed to wear what you bring?
Holy shit. SSgt Hite was my BMT instructor.
No PV2's in basic in 1962, every one of us had to wait a few months.
@carlolover1 im in the navy and my rdc (drill sergent for navy) was a former marine, he suffered an injury and had to switch branches to stay in. navy aint no cakewalk tho
@nightdevil6666 Really? They're merging the branches like back in WW2 days of the Army Air Corps? Where did you get this info?
Ft. Benning?! Sand Hill?! One day and a wake up?! Triggered!
Strength from above he was a vehicle maintenance troop who spent a lot of his time deployed in Iraq with the army doing convoy and whatnot
Should swap the airforce instructor for a USMC Drill Instructor lol
Good luck to my brothers and sisters in arms! Semper Fi
Well the Air Force started, originally as the U.S. Army Air Corps. The popular song says "nothing can stop the US Air Force" used to be "nothing can stop the Army Air Corps," but copies of that version are mighty hard to find.
Lol the Air Force guy is all friendly.
Why don’t we swap DIs and see them both branches crying 😂😂😂
I was at that exact barracks!
The Air Force is calling Army Cadence from 1947 . Because the Air Force evolved from the Army Air Corps it shouldn't be that hard to figure out it's just slightly different.
"I think that's how you do it" lol
Scary games are the greatest. I wish more people knew about pissing themselves. Gotta spread the good word.
These have ,and continue to be this Prior Service USMC and US Army Veteran's favorite type of Military Forces Videos: The Ones where 2 or more Branches of Service work and war together. ONE TEAM ONE FIGHT, U.S. Armed Forces ( Army,Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy)!!🇺🇸🦅🗽📜🛡️🗡️💣💥
He was one of the MTI's i had to deal with at Lackland... he is ANYTHING but nice...
BEASTMASTERS!!!!
Can you imagine joining the af cuz he heard it’s a little more lax and you get to boot camp and you get yourself a drill sergeant lmaoo
I notice they didn't exchange with the Marines........ wouldn't that be a trip! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
that was one of drill sergeants last year when it was Alpha 1-378
i wasnt in his platoon but i was in the company that he was in.
Idk...there’s something odd and kinda scary when a DI is speaking calmly and nice to you lol.
LOL, the calm before the storm.
The ones that don’t yell are often the most creative with punishment. I prefer you yell in my face. Being calm is the devil at work
@carlolover1 We do, it's called Navy OCS (Officer Candidate School), which is run by Marine DIs.
Ssgt Hite, i was in the training squadron he teaches in at lackland, he is a great instructor, 322 trs, Second to none!
