Guy: *breathe* Instructor: *WHY ARE YOU MOVING!!!*

“YOU DECIDED TO JOIN THE US ARMY AND YOU CAN’T PICK THAT BAG UP” That’s...why I’m here...

Once a year, my brain is legally required to remember this video exists and I have to comeback and binge watch military recruitment videos

The guy at 6:36 was my Drill Sergeant. Yeah they're rough with you but it's mainly just a tough act to weed out the people who can't handle intense situations. He was actually a really chill Drill Sergeant towards the end of me completing Boot Camp.

drill sergeant: acting intimidating to scare recruits recruit: 🗿

Drill Sergeant: respect everyone, regardless of race, religion, gender etc. Also Drill Sergeant: screams at random dude for being tall

It's crazy seeing this I joined infantry around 14 years ago was a mortar man 11C. I felt more comfortable in basic and AIT than I did at my first duty station.

As a former South Korean Army I didn't afraid of shouting man. I only worried about the one who kicking me on the chest all of a sudden. I left Army decades ago but still feel the throbbing sensation in a rainy day.

“Shut up shut up shut the hell up!” Trainee: : |

An army barber must be the best job. "So what cut do you want?" "jk" *shaves it all off*

REST IN PEACE (Drill Sergeant) Sergeant First Class Kelly C. Lord who was interviewed at 8:30. He joined the 22 a day last year in November. You turned me into a soldier, Drill Sergeant!

Thank you to my fellow brothers and sisters in the army serving at the front lines. I served in the USAF from 2013-2019. I was deployed to fight Islamic state of Iran and Syria. Thankfully I wasn’t in harms way really because I was a f15 mechanic on an airforce base far enough away from the mortars and bullets. My fellow servicemen and women serving on the front lines have my utmost respect and gratitude🫡 🇺🇸

Is KZfaq trying to recruit me

My biggest fear would not being able to understand them

6:30 That man was my Senior Drill Sergeant back in November of 2018. Glad to see he is still there training soldiers

Emotional to watch. Know my father which served WWII be happy for his grandson he never met that serves our country. Training takes alot for all these men & women. Thank you for serving our country and making it free. God bless you all. 🇱🇷

“Everyone’s gonna see you BECAUSE YOUR TALLER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!”

I don’t think they are practicing social distancing...

OSUT is an option, not a requirement. MANY people especially teens tend to go through the DEP (delayed entry program) which you go through basic training between jr and sr year in high school and then go through AIT after graduation. OSUT is basically basic training and AIT in the same place. ONLY available for the HUGE Army jobs like infantry and field artillery.

I was at fort benning right after it was renamed to fort Moore. When it was time to go to official basic from reception, I had been in reception for exactly one month, as I had originally been at fort Jackson. It’s a really long story, but after a month in reception, I was physically but more so mentally done. It’s not something I can say I’m proud of, but I’ll probably be happy that I didn’t get on that bus for the rest of my life.

Drill Sargent: 😠😡🤷‍♂️🖕💢💥😤☢️ Trainee: 😐

All these dudes look like they played call of duty once and thought It would be easy

I went through basic in '06 and served 8 years. I realized if you were good at everything the drill instructors would pick on you more and expect even more from you. I loved it though

I’m graduating this Friday, I’ve been here since April 18 💯🙏🏻

The British army: For the queen! The Russian army: For the tsar! The French army: For his duty! The American army: For my student loans!

America: We gas our troops in the first week of training. Germany: Nice

Towards the middle of last year I'd considered enlisting to find some purpose/motivation. Gratefully something appeared at the 11th hour and I'm glad it did, looks like a rough time just getting built up at boot camp God bless these brave souls and I wish them the best

Man watching this brings back memories of basic, it was definitely an experience I recommend anyone take if given the chance

It’s nothing compared to the training of a sith.

Army: IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY BUMP INTO YOUR BOY, UR A SEX OFFENDER army 1 minute later: k here’s a juice box

That is crazy! Big respect to those men. God bless

Thank y’all for y’all service it takes a different type of person to become this and I’m not going to say I never could but it doesn’t cross my mind to be in the army

Recruits get yelled at the whole time Narrator: “ After being welcomed” Bruh...

Man I’d kill for a tuition Military: you will?

3:00 that was the most clear and concise sharp brief I’ve heard

I have watched this so many times, it never gets old!

The funniest place on earth you will NOT be able to laugh ...

Entering the military: gets yelled at Also the military: here’s a juice box

The barber that worked at Benning for almost 60 years is the man who cut my hair, awesome man!!!

Thank you for your service… to all heroes and vets of this country.

Imagine going into the wrong bus and then suddenly you’re being yelled at

everybody gangsta till gordon ramsey becomes a drill sergeant

I always wanted to join but life got in the way till I made it happen. Found myself running around Fort Knox Basic one year. I was 34 years old. Basic was EPIC!! The whole break you down build you up didn't work on the hand full of 30 somethings in my unit. Watching 18 to 20 year olds become absolutely unhinged while being yelled at, smoked and given impossible tasks where no matter what someone will fail and everyone pushes. Us old guys had been married before. This isn't yelling. Let me tell you about yelling...... I found basic to be extremely easy following just one rule. Do whatever the guy in the hat says and do it like it's the best thing you have ever done and do it at 110%. They sorta left us alone a few weeks in. Everyone took command at some point and you lost it when you made a mistake which was 100% going to happen so everyone would have a turn up front. Usually you got a day or two. We got 2hrs. We went to basic after EXHAUSTIVE research and practice before we went to basic so we knew what we were doing. So command came and went in hours instead of days for us 30 somethings. We also NEVER failed to raise a hand before any DI got to teer when they said "we need a few volunteers." We became invisible to them in week 5 even if we were the only ones with our hands up. LOL Trust me. DO THE SAME THING. Did the same thing in AIT and once I got to load and fire a Dillon minigun that was being tested after volunteering for a task which ended up being go through these belts of ammon and take out the tracers and replace them will ball. Three days of that. (Holdunder at AIT waiting for a class) The surprise was being able to fire the gun so like I said. Put your hand up for everything. It will pay off. I can't recommend experiencing basic, AIT and deploying enough. Those experiences dominate my "what the hell did I get myself into" memories and all of them are pretty damn good ones. Oh it's going to absolutely SSSUUUCCCKKK at times but so worth it!! Only meant to spend a few years after putting my IT career on hold to serve. I stayed for 12 years. Army Aviation power turbine ending repairer working on UH-60s. Now I have my GI BIll, VA loan, Access to USAA and medical. It is SOOOOOOOO worth your time to jump in right after HS. I wish I did. Just 2 or 3 years then bail but the longer you stay the more your GI-Bill covers. Do it right and you could make money without working while going to school on the GI-Bill after you serve. The only rule you need to follow to make it through basic is like I said. Do whatever the guy in the hat says and do it like you love it and do it at 110%. You WILL fail from time to time. Be it your fault or an impossible task that you can't pass. Roll with it. Those 10 weeks fly by. AIT is another world after the first month. Deploying is insane. My first deployment was to Iraq. Oh it sucked but the tales I have from it are EPIC. It's no joke from start to finish though. Shit CAN go sideways. I took a bullet. That's about as real as real gets in the military. Even that is a fun story now. I guarantee you will come out a better person with a new outlook on life. Like. Working on deployments 16 hour days for 2 months with no days off then switching to 12 hours 6 days a week. Coming back to a 8hr 5 day work week is NOTHING. To this day 8 hours is nothing to me. I STILL feel like I don't have enough hours to get what I want done at work. LOL You will become a MASTER at hurry up and wait. The lines. OMG the lines. Nobody said there would be this many lines in the military. There's a line for the line most of the time. After the military and you come across a sign that says 3 hour wait from this point you say HURRY UP and get in. It's only 3 hours from here!!!! No joke. You WILL feel like that. The morals, values and ethics you learn will serve you well. If you are on the fence jump off and go! Some MOS are only 2 year commitments. 2 to 6 years I think is the min range. Depends on your MOS. 2 Years is NOTHING. POOF. Done. Holy crap where did the time go? GO!!!!!! You won't regret it....... Much........ LOL

Its so nice to watch this while laying in cozy bed

After watching this I think Gordon Ramsay would make a world-class drill sergeant.

“The recruits grab the snack that’s waiting for them inside, consisting of a fruit cup, sunflower seeds, a granola bar, and a juice box.” That’s it, I’m joining the army

From Morocco 🇲🇦 All respect and love ❤ to US ARMY

As a Marine I say God bless my Army brothers!

Imagine the sergeant screaming at you like a boss and his voice cracks lol

"I'VE SEEN GAY PARADES STRAIGHTER THAN THIS LINE!"

I miss the military so much I absolutely love the army

"Mom I'm at the wrong summer camp"

"Business Insider: It's a movie." That one soldier: "I've always wanted to be a star!"

I’m in the Air Force and my basic training was online.

I went through US Army BCT at Ft. Jackson SC 1976. This brings back a lot of memories.

I love watching these type of videos, because I always wanted to be in the army or military, I know it's really tough, but at the same time it shows you how capable you are and how good you are as working as a team and following instructions, so it's something that I have always wished to be, the problem that I have its that I have alot of complications in my body, that make me unable to serve as a military woman and help others and the country indeed. What I basically do is I have an army uniform that I bought and I put it on, to honor all the ones that are in the army or military working and serving around the world, and those who aren't here anymore, but died as a hero, that will never be forgotten..

“If you look around they’re gonna see you, BECAUSE YOU’RE TALLER, THAN EVERYONE ELSE!” Naaaaah lmfao, I would have laughed too much at that honestly

Graduating 22 week infantry OSUT tomorrow. Sadly my family can’t be there because of corona but I’m happy it’s finally done

Just finished basic training at fort Jackson a few weeks ago, funny that I’m looking back at it now

This awesome! I have loved every bit of this video. Being with an army band, one needs to represent it. I wonder whether one time I can serve that continent as one of the military officers..

I finished basic 6 months ago, went through airborne, and now it’s so funny to watch these videos. It seems so bad while you’re there, tons of people are homesick, anxious etc; then you get out and it’s almost a fond memory. Life is so simple while you’re there. They tell you when you eat, what to wear, what to eat, and where to be. Almost like being a child again...in a very screwed up way.

Tall guy exists: Drill Sargent: and I took that personally

Note: OSUT is for Armor and Infantry only. It combining both the Basic AND Advanced training. For everyone else, Basic Training is like 10 weeks and then you will probably go somewhere else for Advanced.

The drill Sargents were the best! I was in basic in 2001. Funniest and coolest dudes I've ever met.

I couldn’t stop laughing when they were all getting yelled at by all of the drill sergeants and then they gave them fruit cups and juice boxes to eat as a snack 😂

Barber: "you got an old yee yee ass haircut lemme fix it"

Respect to all in the military thank you for all your service❤

The first strike energy bar dark chocolate was the best part of an MRE

"If you look around they're gonna see you, BECAUSE YOU'RE TALLER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!!!"

I salute you drill sergeant my respect to you sir❤❤❤

the barber has been cutting one hair style during his whole career..lol..

US: You can enlist to die for your country at the age of 17. Also the US: Sorry bud, you need to be at least 21 if you want to grab that beer.

I am proud of all recruits and The Drill Instructors and I am proud of all Service Personal , Brass and Non Coms -+#

Been in for over a year now and I still remember that short bus ride from reception to basic felt like at least an hour😂 fun times hooah

“If you look around they’re gonna see you....CAUSE YOURE TALLER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!!” 😂😂😂

"You just add water, shake it up, and enjoy" "Enjoy" is a word I would use very loosely around MREs.

I’m in the military and I’m happy our drill sergent was rough. It made me stronger. I love my country to the point that it’s my soul and duty to serve it. It gave me freedom and I’m using it to defend it against any and all threats. USA is my blood. I’ll be happy to have a drill sergent that wreck me to the point of breaking with building me to the point of honor.

Something interesting is those initial recruits were part of 1-81 armor. My AIT as a 91M what is part of 1-81 armor battalion, which is the only AIT in the entire base. I recognize those buildings from a mile away.

"holding their heavy rucksacks over their heads" *all of them holding duffel bags*

Great advices: 1.) avoid creating unwanted attention. 2.) observe everything around. 3.) be a team player. 4.) Don't quit / Never give up.

I work for an IT company and this type of treatment is way better than what we r put through in projects

It's really all in my mind.I was excited to see me in to military❤

If a Spartan saw this, I'm sure he would say, "Aww, reminds me when I was only 11 years old."

Just to clarify: for the army it’s called basic training, for the marine Corp it would be called boot camp.

I can say in the Army we were well fed! Not much time to eat, but well fed! You learned how to make all kinds of sandwiches to wolf it down fast!

Army basic. The most fun you never want to have again.

Marine drill sargent: YOU ARE NOTHING Army drill sargent: here's your juice box

Me chillin in my bed eat chocolate: **this doesn’t look that hard**

I ship February 20th, I’m very excited

I hope they are all doing great in the US Army.

I just realized, Gordon Ramsay would be a perfect Drill Seargent Thanks for the likes mates

Army: We yell at them at first, but then we chill out after a while. Marines: *THE DAY YOU GRADUATE IS THE DAY YOU'LL STOP HEARING ME SCREAM!*

My brother and I plan to be special forces when we're able. To be honest, I don't know which will finish. Amazing documentary.😀

I personally had a blast in basic training

My mom did boot camp and she said once that she laughed while the Sergeant was yelling at her and she did 300 push-ups lol (she was in high school and got to take a break in her ‘high school career’ to do basic training camp) Edit: because this is getting so much attention, here’s another story: my grandpa was a marine a while back and he said one time that this guy in his group did something disrespectful to one of the drill sergeants and they made him hold a AK-47 over his head for the entire night and he said the guy looked like he was going to pass out (they go to bed sorta late and wake up before dawn so it wasn’t *that* long but it was at least a few hours)

Random dude: is in the military for 0.001 seconds His hair: *Adios*

Went to Basic at Ft Benning at Bravo 2 47, I remember sitting at Jay’s booth cutting my hair, I was the lucky few who was “invisible” from time to time but I loved every bit of it. We had a few COD gamer nerds who’s bodies were either shaped like marshmallows or toothpicks and thought it would be easy. 6 had quit before getting on that bus. Every day I questioned myself “Wtf am I doing?!” But being a stupid 17 year old, leaving my parents house for the first time, and was smoking pot and drinking, Basic straighten my life up and I loved every bit of it. The field training, the obstacle courses, and the days at the range. If you get stationed here believe me it’s a hellish blessing but you’ll feel good you made it through.

I can't believe Shorts is still there he did my hair....great man came to my graduation ceremony

I love how the one guy got yelled at for being taller than everyone else🤣

Army is the best thing that you really love ❤
