      Cassidy Phan they are impressed trust me they just don't show it cause it would come off as favouritism to the other recruits. They keep it at level base for everyone so no one gets special treatment. Just do your best and at the end of training they will be glade to share how impressed they are.

      This guy shouldn't be on here giving instructional videos. Basic is not about impressing anyone...its about rebuilding the mindset of what folks think they know and becoming adaptable to any situation. This guy is trying to send a distorted message for followers on social media. Real professionals are silent and stay in their lane.

    4. Do really well on PT tests
    5. Be respectful of their rank from the start
    Those are just some tips from my experience back when I went. Don’t freak out about things. I was super worried before basic training but there are times I’m weirdly nostalgic for it and I had a lot of good times. Do the right thing and find ways to keep your head up.

    When I finished basic I fractured my foot and was a holdover until the cast came off. When my class left, the drill sergeant's guard came down. They were cool people, one of them took me for a ride in his car to the px, and they got together and planned who was going to be the "good" drill sergeant and who was going to be the psycho hard-ass for the next class. Everyone gets yelled at, everyone gets smoked, no exception. It's part of the training, to see if you can perform under stress.

    • @dylanwight5764
      @dylanwight5764 6 років тому +1

      Generally, if you're in a flight (sorry, squadron...), you come to attention and raise your _left_ hand. There's no standard as far as I'm aware on how to do this, but generally you keep your upper arm out at shoulder height in line with your rank (line of other squadron members, not your insignia) with your lower arm kept vertical.
      You can always submit a query in minute form if it isn't an urgent query. Minutes show commitment and discipline.
      Of course, the other way to seek clarification -- and this only applies while you're being chewed out is to come to attention (assuming you aren't already, and you probably are) and shout "Show us how, drill sergeant!". It demonstrates initiative which drill sergeants love to see. It's a 50/50 whether or not you'll just get chewed out more for interrupting or your drill sergeant will demonstrate what they are trying to instruct. Either way, it's a point in your favour because it emphasizes that you want to learn and you aren't assuming anything.

    Funny story about motivation. My drill sergeant actually _did_ berate us for "lacking" motivation.
    Having been given responsibility for my flight due to completing seven years with AAFC prior to enlisting, I decided to risk replying "Show us how, drill sergeant!". His response was as clear as it was quiet. He simply said "keep your head up and your eyes forward. Your motivation lies ahead of you at all time, so stay focused on it and you will find it."
    Remember, your drill sergeant isn't just there to break you down and build you up again, they're also there to _assess_ you. If you show initiative, if you seek clarification when you need it, if you demonstrate that you are willing to learn and listen, then you'll earn their respect, if just a tiny amount.
    Drill sergeants are there to turn you into an effective _team_ more than anything else. You can help them do their job by proving you're trying to do the same thing. If you can do this, then you'll have an easier time in basic from them. Making their job easier will make your job easier.

    Be in shape....that can never be stressed enough. Many people have never ruck marched in their lives before. Go to a surplus store, or someplace else, find a pack....and it doesn't have to be a military type ruck (your muscles won't know the difference), put some weight in it and walk (after you pay for it LOL). If you have hills in your area, go there. Start with 20 lbs (or what ever feels right) and work up, in weight, distance and speed and vary it. Don't do the same thing all the time. Some days go heavier, slower and longer, other days use the same weight and go shorter and faster, etc.... You could get a weight vest from Walmart that is adjustable in weight as well. The ruck marching is a great over-all body conditioner.
    Lifting weights is great, but also do calisthenics because they are different from lifting. Push-ups, sit-ups etc.....you can find workouts for your respective service here on UA-cam, there are lots of them. A bench press, push-up workout is great. Don't forget to stretch, you can find videos on that as well. If you are a little overweight.....lose the weight before you get there. Being in shape makes EVERYTHING easier and is one less thing you need to worry about. If you're in high school, and you're not an athlete, go talk to your school's cross country coach and ask them to suggest a workout if you're not a runner.
    As Shootemup89 said, know things like your General Orders....and actually KNOW them, don't "sort of" know them. If your recruiter hasn't given them to you ASK for them or look them up. And this might sound funny, but KNOW your LEFT, from your RIGHT.....don't laugh, you'll see people who don't.
    Take the bare minimum with you. On your way there, and when you get there, watch what you say, you never know who's listening. "Better to be silent and thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt"
    Take joining seriously, whether you're in for 3 years or end up staying for 30 years. Many people have joined with the intention of doing 4 years and getting out and ended up loving it and doing +20 years. So don't do anything that might sabotage yourself or a possible career later down the road. Don't do just the bare minimum, doing more can pay off later.
    Never EVER forget....YOU volunteered for this, act like you want to be there, if you don't think you can do that, don't join......

      One more thing. Don't listen to the negative people and you will see/hear a LOT of them. You'll hear how they got "screwed over" etc......the one's that actually have been messed with, as in.....didn't get the school they wanted, or the bonus etc....had something directly to do with why that didn't happen. Yes, in large organizations like the U.S. military, regardless of service sometimes people fall through the cracks....yes, it happens, I won't say it doesn't. But the majority of the people bitching and complaining about how something went wrong for them had something to do with how things ended up. I would stay away from them because if they have a bad reputation you don't want to be seen hanging around them. But if you do hear them bitching (and you will) ask them what did they do? Fail a PT test? Pop on a drug screening? Fail a written test? Get gigged on an inspection? Fell asleep on watch? Forgot something important somewhere? Lost a piece of gear? Mouthed off to someone they shouldn't have? Made an inappropriate comment to someone? Do something inappropriate? Were always last? Didn't show enough motivation? General shitty attitude? Trust me, you'll see it for yourself.
      I guarantee.....hell, I would bet body parts (one's I'm REALLY fond of) that there will be one of these things that happened. The one's bitching and complaining just won't want to tell you about that. OR....they will go with the "but this other guy/gal did the exact same thing and nothing happened to them". That is a WEAK excuse, and that's all it is...an excuse. What they won't tell you is, that "other guy/gal" is also an excellent PT'er, or aces tests or is never last etc..... Generally, the military doesn't punish just for the sake of punishment. And it's rare that something is taken that is guaranteed to someone if they didn't do something to have it taken away. If the military did that, they would have Congressmen/woman crawling all over them expecting the service to explain why they (the military) broke it's word on a contract.
      Thanks for the kind words, but I'm not looking for ata-boy's from anyone. The reason I'm posting this is again, I've been there, done that and have seen what works and more importantly, what doesn't. Attitude is EVERYTHING. Not just in the military, but in life, you get out, what you put in. If you know what you need to do (know your weaknesses) work on them. If you know you need to do something or have something ahead of you, like an inspection...don't wait for the last minute to get things done. There is generally plenty you can do prior to get it done or make things easier. DO IT.......and life in the military will be much, MUCH easier for you. You do NOT want to give any "higher ups" a reason to give you their full and undivided attention. Well, unless you did an outstanding job on something. Otherwise, you want to give them the feeling that you don't need a babysitter, that you are an adult who can be trusted, and doesn't need anyone to hold their hand. Get in shape, good shape, it's easier to maintain that than "attain" it. KNOW what you're supposed to know....if you are weak in an area, don't avoid it, jump in and learn it. After that a lot is about being on time, in the uniform (worn correctly) you're supposed to be in, then doing the things you're supposed to and acting the way you're expected to. None of this is hard, if AGAIN, you go in with the right attitude. Best of luck.

A few of us "volunteered" to fire off the excess ammo rounds and I packed a tracer-bullet every other spot in my mags. Shooting range was on the day of Halloween, but because of the tracers, it looked more like the fourth of July when dusk arrived. I remember my barrel even turned red and my drill instructor knocked on my helmet and yelled, "Let it cool down, Private!"
