I went to Ft. Benning in 82. They didn’t in-processing new recruits there at the time like in this video, that was done at Ft. Jackson, and then you were bussed to Ft. Benning. Recruits were either sent to Sand Hill (newer barracks) or Harmony Church (older WW2 style Barracks). The second the bus stopped, that was going to be the start of your 13 weeks of hell. I was assigned to A51 on Sand Hill. We lost our AWOL banner on the first week and got nicknamed ‘AWOL-ing Alpha.” We lost more recruits during the 13 weeks before it was over. It truly was 13 weeks of hell, but just living through that has helped me in life, first to grow up and to become a successful professional that I am now in the civilian world and also become a better man.

In 97 it was 14 weeks of hell. Now it's longer than the 14 weeks I went through.

I was A CO. 1/50th on Sand Hill. Graduated September 1991, so you were on Benning the same time as I was. Most of the stick-built buildings that were used for blocks on instructions, commo and what not, were already dried out and smelled as though they would self ignite any second. I think by that time they had been standing for ~50 years. When I returned in '98 many had been torn down, when I was back in 2009, they were all gone and replaced with brick buildings for something..CRC maybe..can't remember.

These Drill Sergeants were totally chill. Ours were on our ass all day, every day until AIT, then they backed off. Oh, and time to write letters? We had time to write letters...while we were sleeping.

The rest of us ended up in Germany (which had been stripped bare). Constant training until Desert Storm was over. IRR folks showing up and cramming into my first duty station.

Graduated 97. 1/19 Rock of Chickamauga. Dco 4th platoon bushmasters honor platoon. Cpt Bennet was C.C. And Drill Sgts: Tuarez, Swanson and Allen were our main 4th plt. drill sgts. My battlebuddy was Zachary Boyer of N.Y. We still had wall to wall counseling, g.i. shower, blanket parties, and drill sgts still put hands on us. Arriving to Sand hill in the cattle truck they met us by tossing C.S. gas grenades into the cattle trucks while we were locked inside like sardines on a hot, humid, South Georgia summer afternoon. The drill sgts always acted on their best behavior when the camera man showed up. But as soon as the camera was gone it went from Dr Jeckle back to Mr Hyde real quick. As rough as it was it was easy compared to what life was like in Dco 3/327th Inf. Reg. 1st BDE, 101st Division.

In 68, DI's were screaming at you at all times while you were try to eat, there NO talking, no looking around, and you were to eat EVERYTHING on your plate and less than 10 mins to eat it... The DI's show No verbal aggressiveness here, and during any of there training exercises they're very very light on there verbal commands. I was 17 when I went to Basic. It was an a** kicker every half step of of the way. They never let up. These troops get away with way too much leniency .... The Army has failed with discipline and integrity!!!

I swear, they must've taken a bunch of recruits and put them into the super low stress pansy company. I went in November of that same year and it was nothing like this. Our drill sergeants were all up in our faces. I remember running out of that gas chamber, and if anybody even stopped, they had the drill's boot up their butt. I can't even imagine what would've happened if somebody got down on their knees to hack and gag like that. And where did they get that DFAC scene? Guys looking around, taking their time, chilling. If anybody in my company took their eyes off of the food tray, a drill sergeant would be right there to say, "Why are you looking around, hero? You must be done with your food! Get rid of your damn tray and move out!" ( It didn't matter if you just sat down.) It was always implied, "Eat now, taste later". And the lame music in this video makes it seem like they're at a fun summer camp down on the farm. (When's the hay ride?)
