US Army Basic Training - The Making of a Soldier

[krisweezy92]

14 weeks my ass to go. 

[MrLila36]

lol i love how the drill sergeant has a rocket launcher in his office 3:36

[nov213]

I hated that shit.

[chrisanator96]

Haha Drill Sergeants are nothing compare to drill instructors

[thechu503]

"DO YOU THINK YOU'RE MARKY MARK!?!? IS THIS THE FUNKY BUNCH!?!?!" ahahahahhahahahahaha classic!! you can see the dude trying not to laugh

[jchen012]

We had to square our meals in Coast Guard basic training. It was funny watching the person in front of me trying to cut his meat with the knife upside down for at least a minute.

[cjmmgirl1]

7 FUCKING MINUTES TO EAT???? I only had 1 minute to eat. Man it sucks how the discipline you gain out of this and the values instilled in you all depend on your Drill sergeants and its crazy how few drill sergeants flip shit on you anymore these guys are nothing.

[Provic90594]

Marines all the way

[durq1234]

3:37 he has a blow gun behind him.

[clyderhoads]

forrest gump made it through BCT - Did well even!

[KillYouds]

lol marky mark and the funky bunch

[chanocantu73]

this brings back memories from when i was at ft. benning with co. c, 3rd battalion, 47th infantry regiment 2nd platoon regulators HOOAH! to all new recruits remember this it is nothing personal from the drill sgt's towards you they are just doing their job to weed out those who cannot cut it in the military just do as you are told and you will be alright.

[Armyof1993]

i little lesson for new privates going to infantry or cavalry osut: when you get to your line unit, FORGET what they've taught you in OSUT, and let that unit teach you how they like for things to be done.

[Armyof1993]

ahhhhhh, shark attack, harmony church, fell flat on my face that day :)

[Baystategriffin]

LOL the guy at 1:30 is like "gotta get the fuck outta here!"

[thehenjini]

YOU THINK YOUR MARKY MARK? IS THIS THE BUNCH?! FUCK NO PRIVATE

[mynameschar1es]

I feel so much better now about enlisting. I had no idea what to expect and thought I'd be the only one not knowing what to do. This puts me at ease a little.

[Ducati121]

there be some butterballs in there.  I cant wait Ft. Leonardwood here I come.

[22SAUR]

@Ducati121 Bro, fort Leonard wood is nothing to look forward to. I've lived 7 minutes off the main gate since I was 3 when my dad retired from the army.. Not shit to do around here so i hope you only have basic here and AIT.. so don't get yourself into OSUT. lol

Also, the drills out here, kinda pansies... Like im not dissing on the military, I leave for basic in July. I'm going to Bening, so I hope it's better than here. I want a hard training, not a slacker training. Good luck HOOHA

[Evilstewie831]

@Ducati121 hahah fort lost in the woods.

[IneadAbanana]

i love the slow motion yelling

[cntryboi223]

to all the soldiers headed to BCT. it aint nothing, just do what your told and give it your best and it'll be over in the blink of an eye.

[dawlton55]

Why do so many marines feel the need to comment on army videos? Lol

[monty532]

hahaha this is 2/54 where i went, i wonder if they still have ds minter there-he ate f**kn souls

[arcticsoulja]

This gay nothing like when I went through and they call this shark attack., these guys have time to even talk to the reporters., like wtf., i

[kingjdm97]

@choclate92007 what day do you ship to benning?? my basic starts feb 27th but I ship out on the 20th you amped man??? Them drills gonna be goin honey baked ham on our asses!!!

[kicknbazz1615]

"Sorry son, you cant kill in my corp because you have ink on your arm"

[DrNTT89]

nervous 

[Backstabbinbasterd]

YOU THINK YOUR MARKY MARK lmao!!

[crusigala]

DO YOU THINK YOU'RE MAKRY MARK? IS THIS THE FUNKY BUNCH? haha my fav part XD

[pr1vat3c3rvant3s]

wow, just wow!

[USMCxXxKid]

i always thought it was 9 week in basic and the marines was 13 weeks

[jampants09]

@USMCxXxKid they must be infantry, their AIT is right after basic. the support guys are there for 9 then ship out to AIT all over the counrty.

[chocolate92007]

Marines turned me away because of the size of my tattoo, how GAY. Ill be headed to benning next month

[jacobbis4lovers]

@chocolate92007 Good luck. I graduated in June 2011. It's not that bad.

[freakAnature88]

@chocolate92007 Same thing happened to me! And i leave for benning in may. Good Luck man.

[EnthusiasticGoat]

@chocolate92007 Where was it? tattoes should be little problem if not a sleeve and not above the neck.

[RapperWar]

@chocolate92007 Where was the tattoo at?

[Evilstewie831]

@chocolate92007  hooah

[Xarmon]

@chocolate92007 Yea, the army settling isn't gay at all. I bet the marines were super gay when they turned you down for being a dirtbag. Faggot.

[chrisanator96]

@chocolate92007 what kind of tattoo was it?

[Embosk2]

@chocolate92007 Marines want elite individuals now written on idiots like your self :)

[A1Yola5150]

@Embosk2 HAHAHA You've just proved your ignorant as fuck, one of my best friends is a Marine and has TONS of tattoos. The guy who got turned away probably just had one in a spot thats not acceptable. Try again before acting like an elitist asshole.

[krisweezy92]

@chocolate92007 i got a full sleeve on both arms and got accepted. i doubt thats really why they probly really just thought you was a with all due respect a bitch..

[SimplyThoughtless]

Do you think you are marky mark?! Is this the funky bunch?! I didn't know if I should laugh at the reference or laugh at his PC.

[jacobbis4lovers]

@SimplyThoughtless I can't believe that Recruit wore his hat like that.

[Davemercd]

Ohhh! he said a bad word at 1:38. Make it off MCRD SD or PI and I might acknowledge you.

[TOTALAEXE]

"you can't miss it! The troops will be gassed on the next episode!"

[brandondeener]

Hi is their a copy of this video with Captions anywhere?

[AlexMonreal7]

stress? fuckkk that basic was so much more hardcore for me. i didnt even hear my DS inside voice until like week 4

[Gepower1]

hahahaha why are these drill sergeants so nice

[anthony567ism]

do the sergants punch you if u suk at push ups or eveen sit ups and what kindathings u do i know u do push ups what else pls tell thanks

[Armyof1993]

@anthony567ism no new army rules that DS can do one of 3 things: smoke you, chew you out, or, if you are really that stupid, as i was, counsel your ass. physical harm is not allowed. And the smokings are a joke compared to what your line unit does.

[1075Delta]

marine corp boot camp was worse

[TTSmylevel97]

Dont they actually get less time to eat? My friend's dad said in Marine boot camp he only had 2 minutes to eat.

[PSadvance]

So how long is American basic training?

[ithpally]

@PSadvance Depends on where you go, for me it will be 9 weeks at Ft. Jackson.

[PSadvance]

@ithpally Doesnt seem to bad.

Im heading off to Australian basic training in a few months. Goes for 80 days (11.5 weeks)

[sixfouimpala]

do the drill sgts cuss in bootcamp

[TTSmylevel97]

@sixfouimpala

Ya. ALOT too. My friend got shipped to Benning last week so when he gets back hell tell us all about it.

[fez6011]

Going for the challenge.

[im4nboy]

4:24 is that a rocket launcher in the back?

[infamus219]

@Archerpyro- Realy Troop " Worser"... LMAO... Prime example of the Crappy ass joes coming out the army.. I cant wait to get on the Trail... LMAO

[aneias86]

i was gonna join but i changed my mind lol

[SuperYooho]

@aneias86  haha me too

[n2bracing2]

This is a joke lol I promise you they did not record the good stuff. I remember alot of screaming, cursing, simgrenades, running, push ups, BEING THROWN by the DS when you got too close to him! They were like animals going through PTSD/Flashbacks, thinking we were the hadji! lol great times, great times. good luck "future" soldiers! Remember, Honor Hill and that coveted blue chord is worth all of the pain, sweat, starvation, tears (it's sweat running down my face lol BS), and lack of sleep!

[Lousypenguin]

Fucking Yanks

[toonman81]

Are these trolls STILL arguing at the bottom?? ITS BEEN A FUCKING WEEK.

[PVTcarrillo]

i remember swapping bags with somebody else, idk how the fuck it happened. his bag had a lock and somehow i was able to get everything out a small hole when we had to empty the bags. you will do things you never imagined possible haha we traded bags afterwards.

[TheGreenSmoke]

basic training is fun... after it is over.

[reactri]

You can make basic training 10x harder than this and i bet more people will sign up for the army

[KissAssGoodbye]

Lol 4:04 yeah that's what happens

[LegaceyKid]

2018

[chr1sr0cks]

WOAH They can have two cups?! We were only allowed one with the grenade grip

[blueastcoast]

7 minutes to eat?? Wtf... I know this has to be just for the cameras.. It has to be.. lol

[oak71]

I don't miss that shit!

[MrBloodfarten]

i can't watch this racist stuff...and i really don't think all that cursing is necessary

[MAOfights]

@MrBloodfarten What cursing(there is none on this video) and what racism(once again, none here)?

[Hollandkt]

@MrBloodfarten Are you high??? Or are you just Blood farting? There is no racism or cursing here. Troll.

[Armyof1993]

@MrBloodfarten Obvious Troll is Obvious

[Ryan24Mathews]

Marky mark" LOL

[sixfouimpala]

why is there no cussing or throwing shit around !

[gsethers]

Anyone shipping to Benning on January 3rd?

[thespartican]

@gsethers I am then after everything straight to airborne school.

[kaneda956]

@gsethers fort leonard wood feb 21st.... does that count?? lol

[MAOfights]

@kaneda956 DO NOT POST YOUR SHIPDATE ON PUBLIC MEDIA. Start practicing OPSEC like a Soldier should.

[Archerpyro]

If you people think that this is what its like , Oh man.. do yourself a favour .

Smack yourself again and again - this only on camera , the real thing is 20x worser than your mother screaming at you to stop playing games or go to school.

[TheRedneckWrestler]

@Archerpyro hsad ha i leave march 6th ;)

[Archerpyro]

@TheRedneckWrestler Goodluck , you shoulda have join the marines.

[TheRedneckWrestler]

@Archerpyro yea... i would.. My brothers a marine.. but i joined the guard.. cuz i want to wrestle in college... So ill do the Rotc program.. and wrestle.. and start my degree in teaching.. And i have no money for college...

[PantheraLeoKing]

@Archerpyro 20 times worser than having my mom yell at me? ha ha

[tredogg1994]

@Archerpyro You need to sue the local school system, cause "Worser" is not a word.

[callofdutywatcher]

@Archerpyro your fucking retarded, marine corps boot camp is way more fucking exxtream

[Archerpyro]

@callofdutywatcher then why dont you join the Marine corp instead of watching call of duty all day long shrimp dick ?

[callofdutywatcher]

@Archerpyro haha stop talking shit i bet you never were in army or will be. i already took fucking rotc army for 3 years now bitch, now just finish the god damn high school

[Archerpyro]

@callofdutywatcher LMAO ? TALKING SHIT ? stop talking about yourself kiddo . . See me in real life i'd slap the fuck outta you . that's why watching Call of duty video makes you a keyboard warrior ? please i bet you never shot a riffle before !

[callofdutywatcher]

@Archerpyro omg stop trying to be cool in youtube ok? people can say i can kick your ass in internet bcuz they dont kknow them in real fucking life. get your shit together and dnt talk to me bcuz your worthless and waste of life.i watch call of duty bcuz its fun to watch other people ply. i'm sure lots of people watch too you know... fyi i've shot rifle and pistolsb4, bet you never shot one b4. dnt reply bcuz i wont answer your worthless comment.

[callofdutywatcher]

@Archerpyro yee remove your comment fuck stick

[Archerpyro]

@callofdutywatcher Hmm okay , Go back to the army Rotc and ask if they can give you some grammer tutoring because you spell like your 5. Best thing you should do is kill yourself . "Army Rotc for 3 years " my ass Kid.

[callofdutywatcher]

@Archerpyro lmao have you ever heard of shortcuts? besides this is fucking youtube not a mutha fucking English class. bitch i would woop yo ass any fucking day, dnt give a shit if ur from fucking "marine" i would still woop your ass any day

[SkullzGuy15]

@Archerpyro Do sergeants punch their trainees when they make a mistake?

[rhcpfrush91]

@Archerpyro oh no, "worser", i dont know if i would be able to make it through.

[jacobbis4lovers]

@Archerpyro I went through it. It's not THAT bad.

[italianbroker1]

if you fuck up to much SGT Joshua Perkins will shoot you with his big ass blow gun behind the door lmfao 3:39

[kuhndog52]

want my favorite bootcamp days? watch full metal jacket

[farawayniceguy]

Do I keep the gear they give me ? Or do I need to purchase my own before I'm deployed ? I know it's a stupid question

[1cme1]

@farawayniceguy everything you need will be given to you.

[Hollandkt]

@farawayniceguy All you need to do is show up. Your questions will be answered.

[127cobra]

Maybe they aren't being as hard on them because they're on camera. I myself don't care I just can't wait to get to bct.

[dutchgreekboy]

4:26 anti tank missile at the left lol

[JigsawJoe13]

@dutchgreekboy id like one for phd. as in personal home defense

[20031200]

While the first day at Ft. Benning looks F- -ked-p. At least the new recruits looked like they were being treated better by the DI's then their counterparts in Coast Guard boot camp.

[Mich7ace]

@20031200 If you think Basic Training is exactly what this video is, you're wrong. I can assure you, there is no video on this internet that can give you the experience of Day 0 and Red Phase. Don't assume other branches are more difficult, because comparing the Army to a bunch of semen...I mean seamen is a joke.

[MrAcebandit6]

@Mich7ace how would u know

[lolololololol1234561]

@Mich7ace dont talk about what your boyfriend sprays all over your face and dont give excuses on why you didnt join the marine corps because everybody knows thats the hardest

[Mich7ace]

@lolololololol1234561 Only a Marine could come up with such a well thought out insult. Have you been to Ft. Benning?

[lolololololol1234561]

@Mich7ace i havent been to Ft. Benning because i wasnt looking for a fun filled weekend of gay butt sex and orgies instead i went to MCRD PI where we learn how to make little faggots like you cry

[lolololololol1234561]

@Mich7ace i wont get offended if you dont reply im sure you have lots of dick to suck

[HITMANJOHNNY77]

jesus wheres the "breaking down" holy shit my marine rotc indoctrination week in college was worse than this lmao

[youwish221]

3:38 my kinda drill sergeant!got the bazooka and blow tube in the corner!!!!and a broken door knob......nicccce!

[mazew5]

Just wondering, how do some have rank when others do not? ROTC or something?

[HK556]

@mazew5 The lowest enlisted rank does not have an insignia. They're called "fuzzy privates"

[mazew5]

@HK556 Cool, but I mean why do some recruits go into basic with rank like the guy at 2:07

[masterchiefjoe]

@mazew5 because if they entered with a 4 year college degree they would be a specialist if they did 2 years of JROTC they would be an E2 if 4 years of JROTC then a Private First Class

[Hollandkt]

@masterchiefjoe Also can offer incentive rank for different programs. There was a battle buddy program that let kids come in as a 2 or 3 if they signed up someone else. It all depends on the numbers. I knew a kid in AIT that was a specialist and had a west point patch. I asked him what was up with that and it turns out that if you don't make the grade at a service school you are still going to serve but as an enlisted soldier.

[Hollandkt]

@HK556 No, they are slick sleaves, or Privates. The fuzzy BS didn't even exist until the adoption of the ACU. These kids don't know what it means to polish boots.

[HK556]

@Hollandkt Old school huh?

[Hollandkt]

@HK556 Hooah. Joined in 94. 2 Years till retirement. At FT Benning now.

[bigdred000]

Markie Mark LMFAO!!!

[silver0bullets]

Hooooaah suicide!



[JKB41195]

1:20....XDXDXD....THE ASIAN GUY LOOKS DAZED ND CONFUSED....XDXD

[Lcanino]

This is scaled down lol the "shark attack" or shake down is, looking back, the best.... you come out thinking wtf just happened

[guitarhamster102]

If im in a noncombat mos but is at benning, do i have to do all this too?

[js092709]

@guitarhamster102 everyone in the us army or any military has to go threw this

[guitarhamster102]

@js092709 I meant like, since I'm not doing infantry, do I still have to do like the Sand Hill?

[7MRsilkgrow]

@guitarhamster102 Yeah everyone does bct if you have a combat mos you do osut.

[guitarhamster102]

@7MRsilkgrow But do I have to run up the Sand Hill?

[7MRsilkgrow]

@guitarhamster102 Yes, this is all bct you will do this no matter what MOS you have in the ARMY.

[Hollandkt]

@guitarhamster102 Run up the Sand Hill? There is no Sand Hill. There is cardiac, or the seven steps to heaven, or Buena Vista, or any other number of nasty hills over here. But you, princess, can have a pass at all of it.

[Hollandkt]

@guitarhamster102 Yes. First 8 is your fundamental training. It lays the foundation of discipline and training. You will build MOS skills in AIT.

[ovandolah14]

stupid see all those fat guys they would cry the first day in marine training.

[nissanlover]

@ovandolah14 right...a thirteen yr old would know about that right? fucking spaz

[akilla214u2c]

This is the scaled down public version of what the DS's actually say an act.

[RockerRocco1]

"Get your head out of your YOU KNOW WHERE" .... Awh, how cute lol.

[forscenetc1]

Lol at the asian that put his cover side-ways.

[awgstwest]

every one of those DIs wears a patch his right shoulder...they sure seem laid back compared to my days at Harmony Church 11 b 89-92

[R3cruity]

Those drill sergeants are really nice compared to how my drill sergeants were lol

[brandenopolis]

i believe that is a blow gun in the corner at 3:34

[crazyhorse1369]

Given uniforms , head shaved and vacinated for every disease known to man , hmmmmm sounds like the correctional officer academy i attended 10 months ago lol .

[Diehard804]

if anyone in the army is reading this. is it really like this? because it looks easier than i thought it would be

[spartan310790]

@Diehard804 this is so not the way it is at all.. this people dont have a clue on what is a real shark attack like or how DSgts mess and cuss privates the whole time they are there.. this series are missing lots of info and content on how it is really done.. do you really think that this is how the world's best warriors are made? didnt think so.. SSG Colter, US Army 10th Mt Division

[Diehard804]

@spartan310790 yea thats what i thought. ok thanks man

[KiraStygma]

7 minutes to eat, huh? Gosh, basic training became A LOT easier since I left..

[crazyhorse1369]

@KiraStygma Just like we do it at the prison i work for LOL .

[rockandrollallnight4]

@lukyi89 and you think the marines ar easier

[MrxxMOONMANxx]

I want to join out h.s but this makes me think..how am i goiin to trust he wont drop his m16 if he cant carry his bag?

[kingjdm97]

ill be headed to fort benning in 140 days can't wait

[iCheddar2012]

@kingjdm97 I like the enthusiasm !

I probably spelled that wrong.

[blindo23]

[burnin23]

[pvtking18]
