[xCMB297x]

Oohrah! This doesn't touch Parris Island!

[bignigga60]

Just raised my right hand today! Fuckin' HOOAH! 19D baby, If ya ain't Cav, ya ain't shit!!! I'll be at Benning 20120904!!

[Colombianosexy96]

SHAMPOO!

[airborne87ful]

at 3:35..."hey...what the guy, police up your shit guy..." I remember this sgt...he was awesome

[CUjoBitME]

Fuuuuuuu 8 more weeks and I'll be there XD

[privatomoe]

@briell236 You should seriously work on your grammar first because I can't understand that shit. Anyways, if you really want to join the Army go ahead your friends should respect your choice. I want to join the Army and my friends don't want me to join, but if you know anything about the Army, you tell your pussy friends that there's jobs in the military other then infantry, cavalry, etc. So hope you choose to join if you really want to hooah.

[briell236]

@privatomoe thank you and I'm sorry about the grammar as you can see english isn't my best subject and I'm just going to give it a try and if they don't like it I'm sorry for them I guess that's all I can really do right?

[briell236]

I'm putting this question out here cuz I really need advise. Ok so my friends r trying to stop me from joining cuz they think I'm going to die and they always get mad at me cuz I live by the solders creed, army values, and warrior ethos can anyone give me advise on what to do cuz I don't want to give up my dream but I don't want to lose the people I love because of my dream?

Plz anyone!!

[SpartQ77]

@briell236 Forget about your friends. They won't be there for you after awhile. The experience you get from the Army will last a life time. Trust me, it's the best path to take... college sucks unless your mom and dad pay for everything.

[BournePhenom]

Reception is the most horrible thing ever. It sucks worse than actual training, but once you get through it, training goes by very quickly. You'll be getting your blue cord before you know it.

[pipkin212]

Heading there June 25 hooha

[irongiant333]

ill be there this july or august. not sure yet but already took my asvab and doing meps next week. cant wait and yet im very nervous. hooah.

[masonryan07]

Yes....." Drill Sergeant"

[MikeAvenger08]

April 2nd 2012 HOOAH!

[127cobra]

Is the guy in orange there just for show? Or what's the deal?

[Shananaginsinthenow]

August 7th..... HURRY UP

[TheAngelofvengance]

us army reception like being in a busy airport marine corps reception like walking through the gates of hell

[jerryboy219]

4:00 WHAT. THE. FUCK. IS. THAT!!!

[Metal4TheHungry]

@jerryboy219 Real talk man. I used baby wipes for a week during FTX in Basic. There is no showers or flush toilets in the field.

[jerryboy219]

@Metal4TheHungry I believe that, I was talking about the tattoos on his hand.

[briell236]

this a major wake up call for me I really have to get in shape at least I got 3 years to do that!

HOOAH!

[TheDeranger911]

@briell236 i got a week before i go to fort benning for bct

[Metal4TheHungry]

@TheDeranger911 Im guessing you have about 4 days left now. Take some advice from a random Stranger. Reception is the worst part and just keep reminding yourself IT GETS BETTER!

[TheDeranger911]

@Metal4TheHungry my recruiter said the same thing, said its just alot of waiting, testing, shots, and instruction

[briell236]

@TheDeranger911 Grr ur so lucky!!!

[Luitenet1]

is this 11b infantrymen basic traning?

[Luitenet1]

@Luitenet1 training

[jerryboy219]

@Luitenet1 Fairly certain this is OSUT, "sandhill" is in the tags.

[dyingstar145]

wow, basic has goten so soft over the past 10 years, no wonder soilders nowadays aint got no diciple and militray bearing

[hitman45400]

@dyingstar145 Exactly. That's why I'm going to the Marine Corps. Semper Fi.

[11USArmyB]

July 23 2012 to Benning with airborne, anybody else?

[MrRyans777]

Them guys are making fun of him at 2:17 lmao

[ExiledxRanger]

Feb 20th. So fucking ready. 

[Taddlerz1]

If you are a true, born again Christian, I'd pray fervently before committing to serve in the US Armed Forces since you give up the freedom to walk away from it. You'll be hard pressed to prove that God will bless the US's combat operations after the abomination of 9/20/2011 was established and sodomy was deemed as acceptable behavior.  We have enough trouble from the unsaved without being so unequally yoked with the unclean filth of sodomites and their justifiers. Remember, you've been warned.

[SomniumCorvus]

@Taddlerz1

Lemme warn you the United States Armed Forces and especially the Infantry has no room for your bigoted arguments. They don't fit in foxholes and sure as hell don't stop bullets. Last time I checked we were fighting zealots with many of the intolerant beliefs you seem to esteem. A true christain huh? Al Qaeda uses an argument really similar to brain wash uneducated fundamentalists to spew hate and violence......Oh.....wait. 

[Gman213090]

April 23 Cant be more excited!!!!!!!!

[noble381297]

Which is more physically difficult, the Army or the Marine Corps?

[danthman114]

wtf. no bearing at all. wow this is soft as shit

[danthman114]

the making of a slodier/airman: "welcom to basic training, heres your weapon, now get on the plane your going overseas".

[bignigga60]

there is no way the guy at 0:37 in the orange shirt is under body fat. Nor is the guy in the verizon shirt at 0:39... Bullshit, im built like the guy at 0:41 throwing bottles away and I cant join up quite yet. About a month or two. Soon enough ill be there! Benning 11X FTW!!

[bignigga60]

0:37 theres no way guy with the orange shirt on is under body fat. Or the guy at 0:39 with the Verizon shirt on. This is bullshit.

[Vulcar123]

2:38 LMAO 

[sweetguy410]

i was at reception battalion june/1997 at ft.mcclellan. hello to all. :)

[DSmokeZz]

Who ships april 02???

[LEGEND3561]

shipping out in march 5th!

[Fankuchan]

I just got enlisted in the National Guard, and this is where I'm going to train on the 2nd of March.

[Oneofmanymlt93]

I don't know if this is exactly what I expected. Not to be harsh but I thought they would yell at them a bit more. Idk that's just me.

[HeartlessDelacroix]

@Oneofmanymlt93 this in like the welcome like indoc get all your stuff before you go to basic trust me I've been there

[Oneofmanymlt93]

@HeartlessDelacroix Oh my bad. Thanks for the info though!

[54CFC]

@Oneofmanymlt93

I agree! But I think since they're are cameras the DS are selecting their words wisely.

[Oneofmanymlt93]

@54CFC Oh yah u make a good point!

[cjhyde78]

I remember this, it sucks

[323Andre22]

Well one day left as a civi HOOAH!

[419TwiztidJuggalo]

THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS THEY HAVE HELPED ME PREPARE SO MUCH FOR THE TIMES AHEAD

[FWalshingham]

Reception was the worst part, fuckin' sucked.

[Haures66]

you can obviously tell they made this segment specifically for television. No drill sergeant says "friggin."

[UBCSWraith]

@Haures66 On day one, they told us they were going to "try" not to swear at us. It lasted about 5 minutes.

[SAOAFR]

march 20th hooah

[ThePurplemufin]

2 more days WHOOO

[Spierred]

Bro.. That Sergeant in the PX... He was the same sergeant who I went through the 30th with back in 2009.

[storres4120]

august 13! lets do thisss!!!

[jasonweir87]

@ZombieSlayer918 I Went to 30AG at Benning in 09 and it wasn't like that. Everyone was yelling, drill sergents were standing on tables and yelling, the civilians that inprocess you weren't that nice either it was intense. You stay awake for about the first 3 days and after about a week you'll move on to your basic training unit. Oh and you eat alot, it's almost way too much.

[Spierred]

@jasonweir87 They won't do that on camera. Gotta look good to young incoming warriors and their concerned parent-folk.

[ZombieSlayer918]

I know they couldnt show everything but does anyone know what all happens? Like what all do you have to do or did this video show it all?

[Mrpain368]

holy shit, i met some of these guys. had some of these DS's...FUCK!

[dmesz311]

4:43.......he doesnt have a clue

[clance619]

these kids are talking like they're all salty and battle hardened

[Sh1pWrecker]

2:37 All of the soldier's faces behind him haha

[jvolstad]

I vaguely remember my first week at Fort Leonard Wood. Shots, shots, and more shots. Little did I realize on that day in September 1972, I would be back again for my retirement ceremony on September 1998.

[rjrugga]

The worst part of basic is reception it was so boring at ft lenardwood

[radeon110]

1:44

snug...

am i the only one who found that funny?

[Gamaz101]

30th AG was the longest and most boring week, next to "Recovery Week"

[p9p9p9p9p9p9p9p]

waller gay ass lmao



[MelissaChristina27]

3:58 PFC Joshua Bermudez, MEPS is ok with tattos on your hands?



[DrummerBoyz95]

@MelissaChristina27 As long as the tattoos are not "extremist, indecent, sexist or racist," then yes they are allowed as far as I know.

[AungusMacgyver]

they tell what to do because you are considered incompetent to do anything by your self.

[sgtjpmartin]

@AungusMacgyver And that is exactly what my drill sergeants told us at Benning! They would gie you an expample and then say "I wouldn't say it if it didn't happen."

[AungusMacgyver]

2:35 to 2:54 that was SO FUNNY!!

[SuperMcNastyPants177]

2:45 That dude tryna b cute and funny is in for a rude awakening. 

[volhead49]

they get to wear their high speeds before graduation now? i feel jipped!

[Pv2Vega25U]

2:36 funniest in the video

[762ranger]

What happen to the Fallow Me patch?

[DaLilAsianKid18]

March 6th lets fucking go I'm ready.

[TheRationReviewer]

@DaLilAsianKid18 I leave March 5th.

[Metal4TheHungry]

@DaLilAsianKid18 No idea, Your not ready buddy trust me no one is. How do you prepare for a kick in the balls?......you dont.

[samakaballer]

at 2:14 i see a private walking in parade rest lol

[kevineyago]

What the hell is this? I heard Fort Benning's basic was like Marine Corps boot camp. I guess the person who told me this was WRONG!

[anteracmacash]

@kevineyago more like summer camp :D

[The5admeets3vil]

@kevineyago - that's because this is reception NOT BASIC

[MistAndMidnightSky]

@kevineyago Sure, man. If all you want to do is Basic Training then go Marine Corps like I almost did. If you want a career, go into the Army. More MOS opportunities (especially in the USSOCOM units- which was why I enlisted).

[SAOAFR]

@MistAndMidnightSky great minds think alike

[aThugNCAREbear]

@MistAndMidnightSky If you want to be a member of the world's finest fighting force, a feared Teufelhunden, and one of a legendary brotherhood, you join the Marines. OORAH!

[Metal4TheHungry]

@aThugNCAREbear Your a fag...

[sentrygunner]

@Metal4TheHungry you're 

[AlexanderHorbol]

@kevineyago Yeah, 30th AG is where you get all your vaccinations, equipment etc, Then, on the run up to your unit, they start the shark attack...

[ICrySemperFi]

@kevineyago Fort Benning infantry basic training is some hard shit. They have to turn the difficulty level down when the camera's are shooting

[traceyleestremm]

Lol the dude at 155 to 205 starin hard at the camera

[1RedshirtXLG]

I hated 30th AG. The area just outside the chow hall smelt like pure shit mixed with sea water.

[txnjoe]

2:14 what the fuck is wrong with that pvt walking at parade rest?!?! what a shitbag!!! lol

[btsvox9]

dude wtf? marine bootcamp is way more intense than this, this is like airforce crap. whats the deal dude?

[WoWarrior669]

@btsvox9 We all do this for the same reason, if you are taking the time to hate on even one of the branches, you don't deserve to serve anywhere

[btsvox9]

@WoWarrior669 im not hating i just thought that the army would be like screaming and yelling and insulting n shit.

[ILikeReallyBigButts]

@btsvox9 I bet that I'll still beat the living shit out of you.

[btsvox9]

@ILikeReallyBigButts i bet i can beat the shit outa you until its dead.

[ILikeReallyBigButts]

@btsvox9 Learn to spell and punctuate you faggot bitch.

[btsvox9]

@ILikeReallyBigButts i was fucking your mom mhile i was typing ......cnbuwebcfuibwecuib i just came in her mouth

[AJFGJJ]

@btsvox9 Because its not basic its reception? and i take it you have been to boot camp with the marines and air force since you have soooo much knowledge... we all have the same mission...

[btsvox9]

@AJFGJJ na i havent been in bootcamp but im trying to serve my country and i want to make the right decision of service...

to all my fellow recruits, the drill sergeants you meet at reception apparently aren't your permanent drill sergeants

[alpinestar137]

@The5admeets3vil no, they're not....2 weeks of them...THEN you meet your real drill sergeants. 30th AG is completely different than actual basic. reception...SUCKS.

[The5admeets3vil]

@alpinestar137 - yeah i know, my brother went to OSUT at benning and I'll be going too.

[coldpawofthefurs]
