its all about what you make of it and how hard you push yourself, every basic is the same, only differences are locations and drill sergeants! you make it what you wanna make it and improve and build on your own accord!
Do not go there saying your going to do your best because your best will never be good enough for a Drill Sarge, YOu need to go there thinking you are are going to win, you not accept defeat, (you will fail at something, do not get dicouraged) Pull thruogh and Give it 150% They will not accept anything less.
yeah just have fun with it and push yourself to the max! dont leave there wishing you would have pushed yourself harder! leave there going i did my best and couldn't have done better!
@TheDerek189 good luck man its been nearly 2 years since i was in basic training and yeah i've spent alot of time out of the country! after this deployment i've just started 2 days ago i would have spent 2 of 3 years in the army overseas!
@dominicksan09 no you can not...i got these pictures from my DS who was taking pictures during the Cycle. so you may or may not get get pictures like this!
be prepared for the heat/humidity. My son graduated 26 Ma 2011. It was awesome, but really hot. I felt bad for the new recruits coming in. Drink a LOT of fluids. Good luck to you all!! HOOAH!!!
@SuperboyXX0018 what you mean after your first contract ends? yes you re-enlist if you want to stay in or you just get out...that easy...if your going into the army for the first time active duty, i would say sign on for 2 years to start...i dont care how much you say you're gonna retire and you love the way it seems...trust me you may not like your job or you wanna get out...start with 2 years, then if you love it and wanna stay in the sign up for more!
A lot has changed since i went to basic at ft. jackson back in 1998. Of course ft. jackson is the one post where they test new training out. From the pics I could see a lot of familiar obstacles i used to do, but then i noticed they added what looked like CLS and combatives (hand to hand). They also got rid of the traditional foxholes at the range since no one digs foxholes anymore this day and age. On that note those soldiers had it easy. And no cameras were allowed when i was in.
@armyvetmom well the days change so the army must adapt to those changes...we did not have cameras in basic our drill sergeants were taking the pictures not us so we didnt have that kinda stuff!
I've heard that Ft Jackson is the easiest bct and to be honest that kinda discourages me and makes me wish i could choose a "tougher" place to do my training......any thoughts?!
@184Panther I'm on the same boat here, bro. But you know what, it don't matter. They're all the same. It's basic combat training. We will do more stuff once we arrive in our units, and even AIT hopefully!
lol okay guys the song is Vanilla ICE-ICE ICE BABY...just fit for some reason and for all of you watching this...this is what you will do at basic training...minus the few obstacle courses we did and honeslty i went to basic at 280 and i could accomplish everything...came out of basic 210 pounds! its all about how hard you push yourself. and when you get into blue phase you'll have the option to go running or do what you want at the end of the day! take advantage of doing PT it'll only help!
@pilarchuck I shipped May 24h 2010 to this shithole... No such thing as Relaxin' Jackson. Less than Benning for obvious reason, but it's the same as the NON infantry BCT...
damnit man..i was supposed to ship to fort knox(19d) yesterday 20110118,but the ppl at meps fucked up.so i had to choose a diff job.and am now a petroleum supply specialist what ever that is??anybody have any info bout this mos for me??20110418
thanks for the vid. ive been watching so many videos on basic training, i leave april 26th to FT. Jackson. its like im nervous and excited. i just gotta work on push ups and running since i cant do either of those to save my life.
to easy yall hooah....appreciate all the comments and good views. yes DS Galloway was a good guy but no longer a DS was done after my cycle! basic training is 99% mental and 1% physical! I say that because if you think your gonna not make it you wont! just will yourself to keep going!
D.S. Galloway is still there!!!! im in Cco 3/13 (5 week) he isnt my D.S. BUT HE IS A VERY GOOD D.S........... LEAVING TOMORROW 20110103 TO GO BACK BASIC TRAINNING ON VICTORY BLOCK LEAVE!!!!!
basic training starts for me....tomorrow ^_~ fort sill oaklahoma 12 weeks of basic and 6 weeks of ait at fort lee virginia FULL ACTIVE baby...god i cant wait ive got my shit all set and ready to go =P
man we went thru the gas chamber twice lmao off hooah good times. but for real just do what your told and dont be a wise ass. oh and dont be a sick call ranger
Went through Fort Jackson D 2/39 aka "Hollywood". That was probably the easiest Basic Training the Army has. We got "smoked" so little it wasn't even funny. The biggest issue was "family time," in which our platoon would go to our bay and spend an hour or so doing supermans and spidermans and shrimps and then fall in as the DS griped about something petty we had done. That's typical Army stuff. Basic training is a piece of cake. Just do your thing and listen to the DS.
@SoSoLucky13 Basic is fun, but can be stressful if you get a bunch of talkers in your platoon. You train on the M-16... if you are a combat MOS (i.e. 13B, 13F, or 68W), you will eventually be issued an M-4 upon reaching your unit station. M-4 is a much better weapon!
i didnt go to fort jackson i went to fort leonard wood missouri and its a lil different than this...but everybody has to do first aid..if you dont do it right the 1st time you have to stay back 3 weeks..and as for the gas chamber..c'mon im like the girliest female and i made it through that no worries..just dont run out because you will have to repeat it(: hope my advice was well enough
@figueroaomar2010 dont worry about the gas chamber, worry about falling out (getting so hot that u pass out) then ull have to repeat the whole basic training, also worry about the giant-ass needles, u have to get shots when u get there
i'm 17 and im still in high school. After graduation im heading to basic training next year on may 31st at Fort Jackson. The only thing that im worried about is going to the gas chamber. what was your experience?
Although, every day there felt like a year, and I hated fire guards, I had the best time in my life at fort jackson. if you are thinking about joining the army, do not think twice, it is the best thing that will ever happen in your life
congrats! great job! wen did u graduated? my husband is still in reception 2 days ago and dont know if he started bct now. he is in active duty too he said... wat do u as an active duty? thanks!
