Almost 2 months since I graduated Basic and here some tips I can give: - Don’t EVER say the DS NAME!!! (Call them Male or Female DS or to be more specific, DS Juliet, Sierra by the first letter of their name to phonetic alphabet instead. - Don’t let your DS catch you in incomplete uniform! Whether it be PT or OCP - Don’t be LAZY! (You’ll know what I mean once you get there) - ORGANIZE! Very important since you only get little time to prepare yourself until the next formation. - Don’t bring contrabands such as food.. no matter how much you hide it, they’re gonna find it! Unless you got lucky - Don’t let them take your weapon ... - Don’t SMILE during formation especially when your teeth is showing. I got smoke because of this. - Always show up with your CamelBak full - This is an obvious one but don’t bully or talk down on someone. The consequences can actually be really bad - Don’t put your hands on your pocket.. just don’t. - Don’t EVER SLEEP during Class! And bring a Notebook and pen with you to take notes! There’s still a lot more tips, but these ones are just what I thought of for now.
@macburger5026 4 жыл бұрын
White Dragon "- Don’t let them take your weapon ..." After my first FTX was done, my platoon was the last to get our ruck sacks out the truck after the other three platoons had gone back to their bays. One guy in the platoon put his weapon (don't ever call it a "gun" and we don't even call it "rifle" like other branches) behind him. One of the drill sergeants grabbed it immediately. He ordered all of us to immediately stop and form up. The drill sergeant made that dude get in front of everyone and hold his weapon from one end to the other in a squat position.... and then the drill ordered the rest of us to "half right face, front leaning rest position, move, 1, 2, 3" We were like "what did WE do?"

The part about paying attention to your injuries is important. I didn’t make it through because I was afraid of being a sick call ranger. Fast forward and I had a non-displaced femur fracture and smaller fractures in my knees and ankles I didn’t make it through. Also yeah NEVER lose your rifle and make sure you clean it every chance you get. Make sure it’s on safe we had a guy who had it on full auto and it didn’t end well.

I was platoon guide for about 2 weeks, obviously not by choice. Do what you can to make the Platoon Guides life easier, it is stressful to be put in that role. Not difficult, but just added things to do when you are already busy enough as a recruit. You may end up the Platoon Guide next so help the person out by listening and being where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. Accountability is huge in basic. As far as making basic easier, open your ears and focus. So many problems during basic can be eliminated if you just pay attention to details. Another thing, don't fall out of a run, ever. Don't be that guy walking 500 feet behind the platoon during a run. Show up in shape and you will not stand out as an issue for the Drill Sergeants. Most importantly have fun. Sounds crazy, but as a 45 year old guy who went through basic 25 years ago, it was actually a good time if you want it to be.

I graduate on December 4th from Fort Benning; I’m a 25U (My cycle is the last POG’s to come from Fort Benning) but for every other POG going to Sill or Jackson you are already going to have it easier than here but the best advice if you care to hear it is just be a part of the herd of cattle which will be your platoon. Be respectful, help out your battle buddies, and keep going no matter what. It will get easier I promise. The first week or so will suck and then you get used to it; you’ll be fine.

The best advice, don’t sneak your electronics into the barracks after shakedown. You will get caught! And if someone has electronics that you know about don’t use them. My battle was told on for having a phone in the barracks thinking he wouldn’t get caught, he faced UCMJ action, everyone who knew about the phone got counseled, and everyone else who used the phone got an additional counseling and lost family day as well as their phone calls throughout the rest of basic. Have integrity and always do the right thing!

I’m a wife of a retired soldier. I used to go to chapel on post, at Fort Leonard Wood, before they shut down the services in my denomination. After services, there was a coffee hour, and we made cookies for everyone. And I lent all the trainees my phone, during that hour. I TOTALLY remembered how it was, when my husband was in BCT, and I wanted them just to be able to call home and say they were safe. I HOPE I DIDNT GET ANYONE IN TROUBLE!!! I didn’t think I did. Week after week, these same trainees were calling home, on my phone. Sometimes they’d leave messages, if no one answered, and then I would get calls back to my phone, that evening. I tried to fill their family members in, on what they were doing that morning. I usually remembered them enough to say ,”Oh yeah, THAT guy! He looked good. He was happy to be at church. He was happy to just leave a message, even if he didn’t reach you.” And the parents would cry, and thank me TO NO END. I felt like it was my tiny contribution to morale. My godfather happened to be the priest there, also a military chaplain, and he didn’t mind that I was doing it. So hopefully nobody got smoked.

karlitron45 Here's a tip from someone who joined army at a much later age than 28: If you get a high score on your ASVAB, do yourself a favor and consider the Navy, Coast Guard or Air Force before just jumping into the Army. Believe me, while there's bullshit in all the military branches, the Army is *even more* of a "young mans game" ( *extra bullshit for absolutely no reason* ) than the other branches. Believe me.

Hunter Atkinson embrace the suck (though it won't suck no where near as bad as reception will). in case your recruiter hasn't gone over with you, if you're going to sign a contract, sign the shortest contract possible (around 3 years). Do not sign a longer contract *no matter how much* extra bonus money you might be offered to do so.

Whoa How much running do you do
@macburger5026 4 жыл бұрын
@@m8a7jetpacker4 You'll obviously be doing quite a lot of running in basic (aside from drill sergeants ordering you to get from here to there in a big hurry, or punishing you and the platoon/company by making your sprint back and forth) but most likely not as much and hard as you would be doing later on. As far as basic goes, things may vary from one Army basic training installation to another though. I assume since Benning is more infantry based that you would probably be doing even more hard running there than Jackson. When I was at Jackson we did plenty of "60/120's" for PT (where you walk for 120 seconds then run for 60 seconds), but the hardest running we did were a few company runs (all four platoons. never had a run with a platoon by itself) that progressed from three to five miles, and those were only less than a handful of times. One time it was a battalion run with the companies in the regiments that lasted five miles. I did a lot more hard running: three mile or longer group runs every other day, hard sprints on bridges, etc. during AIT than basic. And this being the Army (as opposed to the Navy and Air Force), *you'll most likely be doing even more brutal running at your duty station like running in body armor for several miles, or running with logs* (though that still depends on what kind of unit you get assigned to

I’m thinking about joining the army after I graduate college in the spring. Could you give me any tips on how to cope with red phase ?
@macburger5026 4 жыл бұрын
Ryan Gouger -if you have college, especially a bachelors degree, it might be a better idea to either join the air force or navy instead of the army, or if you do join the army, try to go officer instead of enlisting in the army- You might get literally sick with some kind of illness but just go to sick call. There really are no tips except just go with the flow with the bullshit. You will face mass punishments for things other people, especially the younger dumber trainees, did in your platoon or even another platoon in the company. Don't take anything too personal. As my chaplain in basic said in the first week, "it's not going to last forever."
