 All right what is happening guys? Staff Sergeant Massey here aka Archizel on the internet. Right now we are still in Fort Jackson South Carolina. We're in this obstacle courses to build morale for these trainees. These are soon to be soldiers but they got to prove it. By working together teamwork we are a fit to win obstacle course. It's pretty exciting. I went through one iteration already, got good footage and this is for all you guys who are wondering how it is like to be in basic training. Let's go! In Army Basic Training you will go through a lot of obstacle courses. A few of the most challenging and unforgettable events are the team development and fit to win obstacle courses. The purpose of these courses is to promote teamwork and trust towards fellow trainees. These obstacle courses will consist a series of challenging physical obstacles an individual or team must navigate usually while being timed. Obstacle courses can include running, climbing, jumping, crawling and balancing elements with the aim of testing speed endurance and agility. Sometimes a course will also involve a mental test. How was it? It was hard. It was hard. What we got in here? All right what do you guys think helped out you know to make it more successful? We did work together I think. Yep I think the teamwork was best. I talked to some people that I've not talked to since I got it. Yeah I never hurt him. Sounds good. That really helped. What was the hardest part? Well I think everything is hard. It's just as long as you can get the last person motivated we'll get it going. Do you guys feel like you're more pumped up now? Yeah definitely. Definitely the word for the next one now. Okay what's the best lesson that you got out of here? Teamwork. Teamwork to make a dream work. That's it. Can you actually like group together and yell your motto okay? One, two, as loud as you can. One, two, three. Before any event starts the drill sergeants will be explaining how to navigate and demonstrate each obstacle. We'll block your face so that we don't accidentally get any cuts or anything on your face from not protecting your face. Yes? Yes sir sergeant. As you make your way through the obstacle you're basically going to shimmy shake that's what I call it. You can use your elbows they will assist you and pull you the remaining way out at what time they'll tell you go ahead and get up. Once the trainees are briefed they will then be separated into different groups and have the chance to come up with a plan to attack the obstacle course. If we had lighter people go first or the shorter people it's gonna be a lot harder for them to pull each other like from the barbed wire or not underneath. So I'd say if we do the taller or the bigger people first then it'll be a lot easier to pull the shorter people. During this moment some trainees will step up and emerge as leaders and on the other hand some will clash and not agree with the plan. At the end of the day when we finish one obstacle course we cannot move until the whole team is done right. So if one fast person say Allen Allen's real fast if he starts then somebody that's not as fast can go right after their hands and somebody else that's fast that's you know equally fast can go. So if we stagger it like that we're keeping the pace like that. While going through the obstacle course some will fail or not be effective in certain events this is that time when you should be picking up your battle buddies. No soldier should be left behind. You must never quit or leave a fallen comrade. In the end only one group will win and it's okay because what really matters is that every trainee understands the value of teamwork and every single one will be living by the army values.
