What is the difference between the marine basic training and the army basic training? What is recommended more? I plan to join but doing my research before going in.
@cptdustin i'm in the army now, from what i've heard/seen, the army has more opportunities in terms of MOSs that can translate much easier into the civilian world once you get out. Right now I am a satellite communications system operator/maintainer. I've been told that I can make a pretty decent living with just the training from AIT alone.
My advice: score as well as you can on the ASVAB, because the higher you score, the more opportunities you will have. Good luck.
alright thanks for the info, Since the six months I last wrote something on this video, I am leaning more to the army, and since you mentioned ASVAB, what kind of questions do they ask? and thanks :)
@cptdustin its pretty much about a bunch of different subjects.
general science & math (common sense stuff)
reading comprehension & vocabulary
electronics information (circuits & stuff like that. easier than it sounds.)
Assembling objects, mechanics, other stuff like that (gears, pulleys, etc)
overall, it's all general knowledge stuff, but they add a couple questions to see how much advanced things you know (like a couple calculus questions or whatever). thats about all i remember.
ok shouldn't be hard then, but someone told me that they had a question, " What comes first, the chicken or the egg?" Doesn't sound realistic to me but ok,
and I am not good at math, so that will be a bit harder, but I do like math, I just have a hard time learning it.
We were doin barracks cleanup in basic one time...drill sergeant caught me sleepin in latrine lol i was in stall, sittin on toilet sideways with my feet tucked up that was a long smokin :)
I don't know what it is. If your just a good story teller or what. But I really really enjoy your army life videos. You crack me up too, lol. Good Stuff.
Why do the Marines & their fans bitch so much about Army training? I checked the stats comparing Army BCT to Marine's Boot Camp,and the Army isn't that much easier!
@25Milimeter its just because the marines try to break you down to the point where you just want to quit the army doesn't do that. The Armys job is to turn as many civilians into soldiers. The Marines job is to create an elite fighting force, even though the marines go in first and usually die first
@AmericanGMS I'm not an American,but I've done extensive research on this topic,and its really what the govt needs,goes into a combat zone. And Elite? The Canadians train much longer,and a bit harder than them,and not even they are considered "Elite".
@AmericanGMS Just because you know Marines doesn't mean you know anything about anything, For all I know they could be POG Marines then they wouldn't have any worth talk at all.. The only people that bash Army and Marines are the POG's. On a side note always capitalize Marine if your dad or cousins or uncles saw you not capitalize it they'd probs give you a courtesy punch in the face.
@WarfighterCapable my dad and uncles were infrantry but now there POGs cuz they are old and my 3 out of the 4 cousins are infrantry and one is POG but now there are only 3 cuz my one cousin died last year
Buffer rodeo was best after 2 or 3 shots of that good ol' PX Nyquil. Add in one of your bunkmate's muscle relaxers and it gets better. lol Sounds like Torez needed a blanket party. Ok, he paid in the end. Funny stories. L8r.
our barracks where the red brick buildings. close the the shopette. C-3-3 We had females on the 3rd floor...man a bunch of hot women I remember then one chick told me when we were standing in line to use the phone. she says "you see that guy overthere? I am going to fuck him!" I was like did not know what to say. I turne around and she had the biggest smile. When am I next.
I went through Basic in 1993. At 2:20, he say's his Drill Sergeant threw his hat. That was so familiar. We had one. It seemed every other day he threw his hat, on the floor, at me, at someone else, he stomped on it. ETC. He was always having to get a new one. Not sure if that was just for "theatrics" or he was just a major stress case?
I had a blast at meps, it was shitty yes, the fucking people working there pissed me off but the people I met I had fun with, of course, they didnt get on my ass too hard because its just meps, thankfully.
that thing you said about the rocks and the marching is weird. now when you go to bct you carry your 1qt canteens during reception in your left hand when your leaning to march so you eventually get used to it. but during bct you have that damn 2qt canteen with a strap on it you have to wear everywhere you go. no matter what people might think that damn 2qt canteen does make the front leaning rest position feel harder atleast it did for me haha
@MrRanger1987 When I went we received Camelbaks at reception. Also, ANYTHING on you makes it feel harder, same with lunges.... damn you lunges, wait low crawl.
@Kotysd5 not to mention when a drill sgt would put his foot on your back haha. i'll be honest i dont think i did a single lunge during bct except in the pt warmups and cooldowns. i seen a lot of other platoons getting smoked in all weird different ways. ours was always pushup, flutter, run in place but we did it nonstop. our platoon pushup number from week 1 was 50 and by week 8 we would be getting smoked individually 100reps at a time. only other thing we did was a few front raises with an m16
@MrRanger1987 We stopped being individually smoked at week 1. We group smoked by doing something called the race track. We would go around in a circle doing bear crawls, low crawls, High crawls, Lungs, running, crab walks and burpee jumps. My favourite smoking was the running in place then doing different things from that like jumping, push ups, flutter kicks, then doing some foot ball down thing.
@Kotysd5 we were smoked as a platoon during the first 3 weeks then smoked individually or in small fuckup groups haha. our company only ran the pit 1 night for about an hour. we just did sprints with our m16 above our heads the whole time. if u kept it up for 60seconds they would let you quit but nobody could so we kept going and going. then someone would talk either being pissed at someone or trying to motivate someone and we would have to go and go some more.
@Kotysd5 i was a fire support specialist so my ait was pretty easy at fort sill. most of the stuff we did was out in the field and we did a lot of company and individual pt. nothing really exclusive when it came to punishments physical wise because my ait was only i think about 8 weeks long at the time. i'm not sure how they have everything now because i hear of all the changes going on at the bcts so i assume a lot of the aits are probably changing also.
@Kotysd5 of course when you hear talks of extracting from a war and moving on i find it an odd time to change how things work at bct now. i dont understand why they would change how we train at the end of the war and not during the beginning. we were kind of free styling it i guess to count the death tolls first compared to the other wars. took them 10 years to realize we dont run 2 miles or use bayonets in iraq haha
@RRAvon One of the ways, is when you get a guy in front of you that cant march, you start focusing on his f## up feet and you lose track of the cadence. lol
These are great videos. I am hoping to ship off to basic soon, I'm going through a waiver right now, and it's nice to hear the experiences of someone who has been through it.
@stratmemph1 whats so bad about it i mean i dont ever really hear someone explain exactly why their just like "so you get to the base where youll go through basic training and you go through reception...its terrinle. moving on..." haha
@groves1990 it sucks because you really dont do anything. you wait in line for hours while trying to adjust to a new sleeping schedule. our drill sgts at reception got us done within 4 days and we were scheduled to be there for 6 so the last 2 days we sat all day and couldnt talk n couldnt sleep.
@NekkedAsian Haha dude the night before i was supposed to do my medical at meps I hooked up with these fine ass air force girls and i have damn high standards i was like hell yeah i love the military :P
How long were you in the army for? I just swore in and leave in October. Mos is 11x(infantry) with option 40 and airborne. I plan on making is a life career.
@groves1990 Also, you can graduate HS at 17. I entered the Marines at 17. Signed up in Sept 1999. Left for boot on March 9 2000 (I graduate HS early in Feb), but I wouldn't have turned 18 until Sept 2000, so either way. Just depends on how young you are in your class whether or not you grad at 17 or 18.
I head out to basic April 5th 2010 to Ft Knox for OSUT as a Cav Scout 19D. This vid was funny as hell man. I think Basic will be a ton of fun. My dad was a Drill Sergeant at Ft Knox from 01-05 and he used to have me and my bro doing crab walks push-ups and hand stands all the time for little things like not sweeping the floor or taking out the trash on time. Woooo! GO USA
Hey man love your vids... Im affraid that when i get my haircut im gonna get laughed at HARD... i got long ass hair. DS's are gonna be callin me hippy this hippy that. blah blah lol.
i done basic and ait at fort lenowood aka fort lost in the woods its a coed base and to the girl that posted the comment they treat u just like they do the guys they ant no diffrence
yeah, im really anxious. Im enlisted as a human intelligence specialist, should be a really fascinating experience, I was even thinking of starting my own series of episodes showcasing my army experience. Its pretty inspiring stuff.
im leaving for basic in august, and this is really helpful, its good to hear someone talk about it in a way i can really follow. You should put out an episode about advice for female soldiers in the male perspective. (Since im a female soldier!) thanks this is great!
i did my basic training in 2009 and ill tell you what, it is different. you get taken out of your nor,. you know, your every day routine and it is very over whelming, but you'll have fun. when you graduate, all the stuff that pissed you off or made you upset, you'll be able to laugh, it's a good feeling. good luck to you.
question how do you know exactly what to do when you get off the reception bus to basic training when they are just chewing you out? im joining after i graduate in may
Same thing, except that Natl Guard trains one weekend a month and 2 to 3 weeks each summer. And the Guard protects the state, ie. California Natl Guard. The Active Army is international.
this is dumb. people make to big a deal out of basic. your probably not even infantry either. who cares about stories from basic i never thought it was anything to really talk about unless asked. try getting deployed then you got a reason to rant
You messed up intentionally and got away with it? The your drill sergeant got the wrong job.
My drill sergeant had a killer stare that alone would make you feel 3 inches high when he only BEGAN to sound angry.
I'm 6'1", 190 pounds with a good deal of muscle, but when that guy yelled at me because I screwed up (and he didn't even use any bad language) I nearly f***cking peed my pants.
I forgot which mess up that was I did. lol I tried not to intentionally mess up in Basic. Like when I fell asleep it was by mistake, I didnt know I was asleep.
We used to put a soap bar inside a sock while holding down the daily " fuck- ups" with the green blankets from the four ends down against the bed and hit the hell out of them at night.. we would then run under the beds and hide.. we eventually got caught by CO and got burned bad, lol..
MOS is you job basiccally. each job has a different code. For example: I'm Infantry so my MOS is 11B. A Medic is a 68W. OSUT is One Station Unit Training. Basically instead of doing 9 weeks of basic and then an additional amount of training to learn your specific job, its all condensed into one longer training cycle. Like Tankers have about 19 weeks of OSUT and Infantry have 14 weeks.
dude im pretty sure the 17 weeks is on your contract becuase they added airborne school onto it. Infantry OSUT is only 14 weeks long. (plus however long u are in reception) my contract said 17 weeks and 3 days.
can someone please explain im thinking about joining the army and i wana be infantry after BCT do they send you to infantry school if so how long is it
Dude I love your videos!! U r funny!!!!! Lol Love them!!

yeah, im really anxious. Im enlisted as a human intelligence specialist, should be a really fascinating experience, I was even thinking of starting my own series of episodes showcasing my army experience. Its pretty inspiring stuff.
mogley2012 2 years ago
im leaving for basic in august, and this is really helpful, its good to hear someone talk about it in a way i can really follow. You should put out an episode about advice for female soldiers in the male perspective. (Since im a female soldier!) thanks this is great!
mogley2012 2 years ago
Sure thing. Yea I tell it like it is, you will love it and you will hate it, but you will never ever forget the times you have in basic.
Talljim01 2 years ago
i did my basic training in 2009 and ill tell you what, it is different. you get taken out of your nor,. you know, your every day routine and it is very over whelming, but you'll have fun. when you graduate, all the stuff that pissed you off or made you upset, you'll be able to laugh, it's a good feeling. good luck to you.

Same thing, except that Natl Guard trains one weekend a month and 2 to 3 weeks each summer. And the Guard protects the state, ie. California Natl Guard. The Active Army is international.

this is dumb. people make to big a deal out of basic. your probably not even infantry either. who cares about stories from basic i never thought it was anything to really talk about unless asked. try getting deployed then you got a reason to rant

You messed up intentionally and got away with it? The your drill sergeant got the wrong job.
My drill sergeant had a killer stare that alone would make you feel 3 inches high when he only BEGAN to sound angry.
I'm 6'1", 190 pounds with a good deal of muscle, but when that guy yelled at me because I screwed up (and he didn't even use any bad language) I nearly f***cking peed my pants.

I forgot which mess up that was I did. lol I tried not to intentionally mess up in Basic. Like when I fell asleep it was by mistake, I didnt know I was asleep.

We used to put a soap bar inside a sock while holding down the daily " fuck- ups" with the green blankets from the four ends down against the bed and hit the hell out of them at night.. we would then run under the beds and hide.. we eventually got caught by CO and got burned bad, lol..

2 questions...what is mos & what is osut
ssgoku003 2 years ago
ssgoku003.. MOS is Military Occupation Specialty and OSUT is One-Station Unit Training.
Wakeel12 2 years ago
Thanks Wakeel, I appreciate it
ssgoku003 2 years ago
MOS is you job basiccally. each job has a different code. For example: I'm Infantry so my MOS is 11B. A Medic is a 68W. OSUT is One Station Unit Training. Basically instead of doing 9 weeks of basic and then an additional amount of training to learn your specific job, its all condensed into one longer training cycle. Like Tankers have about 19 weeks of OSUT and Infantry have 14 weeks.
Bounding4miles 2 years ago
Thank you fam
ssgoku003 2 years ago
you only had 14, im getting 17 weeks and 14 days plus airborne school
emachines007 2 years ago
dude im pretty sure the 17 weeks is on your contract becuase they added airborne school onto it. Infantry OSUT is only 14 weeks long. (plus however long u are in reception) my contract said 17 weeks and 3 days.
Bounding4miles 2 years ago
nah they told me that my 17 weeks and 14 days was my infantry training at MEPs
emachines007 2 years ago
well either someone fucked sumthing up, or they changed it and you're gunna be suckin' for 3 extra weeks at Benning. lol
Bounding4miles 2 years ago
i dont know but MEPs is so fuckin stupid i had to go 4 times before i even swore in

That extra 3 weeks is almost certainly including Reception holdover + company holdover.
