thank you everyone who has served! people tell me that infantry is were they put the people not smart enough for other jobs and that i could do so much better than infantry, but its not about how much better i could do its the fact that these guys need a leader. and im willing to be that leader. im not afraid to die cause im a born again christian. send me to the front lines and let me serve!
@hunterl77 I've got a 78 ASVAB score and a 115 GT, and in my 7 1/2 years I've seen people with higher. The Infantry is most definitely not where they put stupid people.
If im not in the best physical shape (im not fat im skinny) would i be able to be an infantryman in the army? Will they let me in and get me into shape during basic or will the recruiter just laugh in my face and suggest something easy(er) when i till him i want to be infantry
@chstigers07 thanks any tips on how to get my parents to be more supportive of my decision to enlist? im 20 but still living at home so they seem like they are having a hard time accepting this decision (especially my mom) any tips will be greatly appreciated
@BUCKrub91 there are many benefits. i've been enlisted since april 2010 so im still fairly new to the military. u can always try national guard first and make your way to active duty. i was 21 when i went in and im nat'l guard and still living at home. they shouldn't be worried at all. if i can help in any other ways let me know
@chstigers07 i agree, size has never mattered in the military its just about the knowledge and what you know im only 16 but i have 2 brothers one in afghanistan and one just left for basic training to ft. benning for infantry training, man i miss em both so much but someday it will be my turn to enlist so no matter the size its all bout being a team in everything you do
@BUCKrub91 i respect you in so many ways size wont matter \ (especially since your recruiter will jus want to make money off you enlisting) but dont let anyone or anything make the difference if you join then thank you for your service and i love that you want to be infantry and even if you dont enlist I still have high respects for you because it takes balls to even consider it! thank you!!!
ARMY leads the way.....Doolittle raid, Merrels Mauraders, (OSS)Jedburghs, Lrrps, and (Green Berets) SF in the WAR on Terror. God Bless the Troops taking the fight to those that would do us harm.
Are you sure that's Infantry training? I don't remember the barbed wire being that high from the ground....(0:17 - 0:24) *sigh. I guess a lot has changed in 22 years.
Although its always gonna be there.. im gettin tired of the stuck up pricks thinking one branch is better then the other, not to be a hypocrite cuz i make my statements but theres a line. Thank you to both the marines and army.. a job is a job and someones gotta do it right?
Frt. Benning, Goergia March 28th 2010!! cant wait!
God Bless America, Though I am not American born, I love America. America is the last freedom standing on the globe against all the dictatorship, socialism, which is the transition to communism. America, wake up& be strong, don't ever lose your constitution that was endowed from god. Even all those terrorist countries have one -year -long greencard waiting list come to America, so those who passionately hate America, go to live somewhere in communist country. then u will appreciate & learn
@DannyBoy52785 re class training is the same you just come into the units OSUT just after basic and do their AIT and start with talking to your units S1 or just ask your squad leader thats what theyre there for
@DannyBoy52785 dude its completly diffirent than the rest of the army. theres infantry then theres the army. Its the most horrable but also the best experience of my life.
After being in the army.......this song relates nothing to what it's really like in the army......you dont feel proud when ur in...you feel like americas lame bitch!
@xwqcrusader It varies soldier to soldier. Some may are proud and some aren't, thats how the world works. Actually, what job in America where you arent its bitch? not a whole lot.
All you poor bastards getting ready for basic good luck. Your life will suck for a few days but youll survive. Get ready for the "shark attack". Welcome to the way of the warrior.
Ive got massive respect for us army infantry,but i just cant understand why your training is so short compared to ours,and to be honest in green troops it does show.American lads ive worked with cant really say for sure either. is it just because your army is larger? or political/economic reasons? i would like to hear from any training cadre,ex training cadre.ex lcpl 2PARA british army.stay safe gentlemen, and now your marines have moved back 2 helmand,tell em 2 give terry 1 for me!!! oohrrah
@richied1385 im glad theres ppl in your country who can appreciate soldiers from my country. there needs to be more ppl like you from both our sides. no one realizes the role we both play..
@hatexhero856 True mate,we get on fine in the field,just kids and wankers that gob off on here.we had a US officer on secondment to us 4 6mths,great bloke.Id rather dodge the odd bit of mistaken american fast air than fight without it all day!!!haha. Take it easy mate
@richied1385 It's all about money. The US Army is much bigger than the British Army and it would cost massive amounts of money to put us through 24 weeks of basic training. I think that's how many weeks you brits go through. How many Infantry Soldiers do you fellas have? US Army Infantry is at 49,000 and 3 to 5000 are Mortarman.
did you guys know the first army drill sgts were trained at a Marine Corps drill instructor school? all of the army's base techniques during basic are from the marine corps
100% right, brother, I was an 11B team leader, and the infantry and combat arms Marines I encountered were good guys, because we all had that understanding that we were doing something different than most military members. So I don't even pay attention to what POG's say, whether they are in the Army or in the Corps; they really have no idea what it is like to be on the front lines.
@melissacarl2002 Actually, you could use them in combat, it's just unlikely these days. It's probably kept as part of tradition and because it builds confidence in the soldier and sharpens his fighting skills.
I'm interested in infantry myself....I want to do it all...airborne, assuault, sniper, ranger, and I think its hand to hand combat schools. I want to full experience. I know its gonna be hard as fck but I would like to be more involved in something instead of clocking in and living the same day over and over again in corporate america.
@Slurrps. That is exactly what im saying. Yeah they are a very powerful force in our military. They have proven themselves on the field of battle. But so has the Army. Probably one of the most famous battles in U.S. Military history would be the Battle of the Bulge. Guess what.... ARMY!!!!
@MegaAirborne101 - Ironic, but the most important and famous beach assault in history was done by the Army, D-DAY! Also, What the Marines share as their finest hour, the pacific theater in WWII... There was more Army there, and more Army blood spilled too. The have never led a war, Army is senior command, and they do NOT have a higher rate of being "first to fight" either. Propaganda at it's finest.
Thats true brother marines are over rated Besides when there are wars to be faught they send in the us army because the marines are so small they barley have infantry to fight the marines are a quick respond unit but hey that doesnt mean the army doesnt have any meaning 10 mountain division 101 airborne 82 airborne etc. etc.
@RiffMasterMike I never said that the Army was not involved in the D-Day invasion. I was just pointing out that the United States Army is a force to be reckoned with. I leave in 37 days for Benning. Im excited to serve my country and if it means I could die protecting my fellow soldiers and American citizens then so be it. I will do it knowing that my child and my childs children will be free just as the other men and women have done before me. Hooah to the fallen....
@MegaAirborne101 Good luck at basic! Check my vids on my page, I have a infantry OSUT vid on there. All the things you see on that video you will be doing too! Plus a lot more, of course.
@RiffMasterMike finally someone agrees with me. whenever i try to say that i get "BULLSHIT! the USMC is the worlds greatest fighting force" but they've never fought a battle without the army either leading them or backing them up.
@RiffMasterMike i favor army myself but your wrong on one thing, the marines were the main force during the pacific war, and had more casualties but still...... army all the way
@firecrotch6000 I used to think that too, until I read extensively about it. Fact is, there were about 20,000 US Marines who died in the Pacific, and about 55,000 Soldiers who also died in the Pacific. For some reason, most people don't know this, and I was guilty of it too. But it is indeed fact, look it up yourself. :-) Just google WWII casualties by branch and you will see the numbers. In the war, the Army lost over 318,000 while the Marines lost about 24,000.
@RiffMasterMike your right about total casualties but there wasnt specifically anything about branch casualties on the pacific war so i cant tell whether the marines or army had more during that campaign.
i feel you slurrps. Even though marines have the hardest basic training, doesnt mean that army infantry doesnt go thourgh some shit. my bussy is in the 101st airborne and he has been through a lot of shit.
@hunterdwhitley1993 the Marines are a good fighting force, but i fucking HATE how they represent themselves. All Marines are stuck up with their head up their ass, narcissistic. The recruiters represent their branch as Dumbasses, Lazy, Dicks, Assholes, And think their better than everyone else. I fucking hate Marines.
@bigmouth285 Do the delayed entree program when your 18...more of a chance to get the MOS you want, im a delayed entree poolee atm, depending on what branch you go into you have poolee functions for the Marine Corps we have them every Saturday from 7am-11:30am and its good P.T to get you into shape for boot camp.
@Bloodweiser69 im going into the Army cant wait to join up i dont know what it is just feel like i gotta do something about what is going on in the world you know? Feel like i gotta do something bout it.
im pretty sure it's 14 weeks, 15 weeks if you get designated ast 11C. The extra 2 weeks might just be when we're in reception before the actualy start date.
the asvab is not hard unless ur a complete idiot i dont consider myself smart and i got a 68, meaning i did better then 68 percent of the people that took the asvab, the questions are easy they are just basic shit u learned at high school
I have a question im in highschool a freshman and im Army JROTC and im planing on joining the Army i was wondering if you go through basic training then can you do infantry?
@sharkboatdivefish what youll do is sign up for infantry at the meps and then you will go to Ft. Benning GA where they do infantry basic training....But for infantry they do it all at once, basic and addtional infantry training.
@sharkboatdivefish Infantry OSUT is 13 weeks. As for being mentally and physically tough, that all comes down to your attitude. Suck it up and embrace it.
ya you're right i ship out in a month. My contract shows 14 weeks OSUT, location: Benning. That's all i'm not claiming i went or anything like that im just going off of my contract. lol
@sharkboatdivefish Yes, someone in my platoon was in the Reserves his senior year of High School and re-classed 11B. He went to Benning and joined an OSUT class after their Family Day pass.
@Waffenssman why would you call your self a "Future ranger" if you haven't even been approved or dropped a packet to GO to Ranger school. Even then whos to say you will graduate. Not trying to be a negative nancy. Just saying.
graduated from A company 2/58, winter(big snow storm hit the east coast that year) session bootcamp started sometime between January the 14-19, 1993. dam this bring back some memory. i was a hold-over for two month after graduation, suck
Was a little over 20 yrs ago, Harmony Church. Seems a lot has changed, since the Drills can't touch you now. Not saying you all had a "milk run", but our time was a bit different. Proud of all us 11B's! We take the fight up front and face to face. Rock on my brothers! -Sgt Panama, 7th ID, 178th Eng...Kilo Bravo 1126, out.
Does anyone else get sick of how much more credit the Marines get? I respect the USMC, but I hear so much shit talk about the army that I'm starting to get pissed off
@Slurrps ... Dont sweat it!!! The USMC is alot smaller force( the few theproud etc.) then the Army. The Army has tons more soldiers, so theres a greater chance for more fuck tards...... I'm sure the Marines have their share aswell!!!
ya like were all here for one reason. thats to protect the usa. but as a future ranger. i would want a marine as my bodyguard tho. the marines are badass
@Slurrps Yes. I Was an Infantryman for the US Army and my dad was a Marine, I respect Marines, but there are shitty Marine just like there are shitty soldiers.
@Slurrps Hell yeah, the USMC is good, but a lot of them are way too cocky. The only Soldiers and Marines that are allowed to talk shit about others are those in the combat jobs. Although I respect them all. In the end all services are equal, and all jobs do their part. I'll be at Army Infantry OSUT Fall 2011.
@Slurrps i have to agree, ive always wanted to join the Marines for the title, but the Army when you get out you have soooooo much more to be offered to you when you get out. I leave for Army BCT in Oct and I cant tell you how honored and excited I am
@Slurrps that is true, people say the MC is better then the army but they are comparing the infantry of the navy against the entire army. yup the marine corps is just a cool word for infantry of the navy. the true comparison is between the us army infantry, and the marines
@SuperXxzombiexX umm..most Marines are POGS....as well as Army but still......are you saying that Marine desk clerks can type better than Army desk clerks?
@Slurrps definately, without the army the military would be shit, without the marines, the military would be shit. they both deserve respect and they both need each other and some retards dont understand that.
You will run everyday, force march often, and be breathing heavy from vigorous activity about every hour...stop smoking now and start running youll be ok...

@RiffMasterMike
Thats true brother marines are over rated Besides when there are wars to be faught they send in the us army because the marines are so small they barley have infantry to fight the marines are a quick respond unit but hey that doesnt mean the army doesnt have any meaning 10 mountain division 101 airborne 82 airborne etc. etc.

@RiffMasterMike I never said that the Army was not involved in the D-Day invasion. I was just pointing out that the United States Army is a force to be reckoned with. I leave in 37 days for Benning. Im excited to serve my country and if it means I could die protecting my fellow soldiers and American citizens then so be it. I will do it knowing that my child and my childs children will be free just as the other men and women have done before me. Hooah to the fallen....

@RiffMasterMike finally someone agrees with me. whenever i try to say that i get "BULLSHIT! the USMC is the worlds greatest fighting force" but they've never fought a battle without the army either leading them or backing them up.

@RiffMasterMike i favor army myself but your wrong on one thing, the marines were the main force during the pacific war, and had more casualties but still...... army all the way
firecrotch6000 11 months ago
@firecrotch6000 I used to think that too, until I read extensively about it. Fact is, there were about 20,000 US Marines who died in the Pacific, and about 55,000 Soldiers who also died in the Pacific. For some reason, most people don't know this, and I was guilty of it too. But it is indeed fact, look it up yourself. :-) Just google WWII casualties by branch and you will see the numbers. In the war, the Army lost over 318,000 while the Marines lost about 24,000.
RiffMasterMike 11 months ago
@RiffMasterMike your right about total casualties but there wasnt specifically anything about branch casualties on the pacific war so i cant tell whether the marines or army had more during that campaign.
firecrotch6000 11 months ago
@firecrotch6000 Here ya go, these are the actual numbers:
Army ground forces 41,592
United States Army Air Forces 15,694
Navy/Coast Guard 31,485
Marine Corps 19,733
If you google those numbers you will probably get some good info from multiple sources.

@RiffMasterMike ok cool
firecrotch6000 11 months ago
@RiffMasterMike Actually you have your numbers wrong. 3 million out of all the branches in the U.S Military.

i feel you slurrps. Even though marines have the hardest basic training, doesnt mean that army infantry doesnt go thourgh some shit. my bussy is in the 101st airborne and he has been through a lot of shit.

@hunterdwhitley1993 the Marines are a good fighting force, but i fucking HATE how they represent themselves. All Marines are stuck up with their head up their ass, narcissistic. The recruiters represent their branch as Dumbasses, Lazy, Dicks, Assholes, And think their better than everyone else. I fucking hate Marines.

@bigmouth285 Do the delayed entree program when your 18...more of a chance to get the MOS you want, im a delayed entree poolee atm, depending on what branch you go into you have poolee functions for the Marine Corps we have them every Saturday from 7am-11:30am and its good P.T to get you into shape for boot camp.

sharkboatdivefish 2 years ago
@sharkboatdivefish what youll do is sign up for infantry at the meps and then you will go to Ft. Benning GA where they do infantry basic training....But for infantry they do it all at once, basic and addtional infantry training.

Slurrps 2 years ago 45
@Slurrps ... Dont sweat it!!! The USMC is alot smaller force( the few theproud etc.) then the Army. The Army has tons more soldiers, so theres a greater chance for more fuck tards...... I'm sure the Marines have their share aswell!!!

@Slurrps Hell yeah, the USMC is good, but a lot of them are way too cocky. The only Soldiers and Marines that are allowed to talk shit about others are those in the combat jobs. Although I respect them all. In the end all services are equal, and all jobs do their part. I'll be at Army Infantry OSUT Fall 2011.

@Slurrps that is true, people say the MC is better then the army but they are comparing the infantry of the navy against the entire army. yup the marine corps is just a cool word for infantry of the navy. the true comparison is between the us army infantry, and the marines
