@@Kodex4654 talk to your local Army Recruiter about the Infantry MOS and about training now for the ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) or PT test. Stay healthy - alcohol and smoke/drug free. Leaders don’t do drugs or alcohol. Ask the recruiter any questions you have to get an early start like questions per ASVAB (Armed Services Aptitude Battery) Testing and anything else that will mentally and physically prepare you for Basic Combat Training (BCT). Also start a personal exercise plan of push-ups (goal of 50 to 70 in 2 minutes), sit-ups (goal of 50 to 70 in 2 minutes) and 2 miles run (goal of 13 minutes maximum completing time). Also add weight training and pull-ups (weight goal of 220 pounds bench and pull-ups goal of 30 repetitions). Don’t forget to eat a balanced diet to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. Being at the proper weight per your height is one thing the Army is keen on especially in the Infantry MOS field. In my day the Infantry were called “Ground Pounders”. They had to carry much heavy equipment on their person in the field during training so they were required to be in the best physical condition they could attain and maintain per each individual soldier. I was Armor - 19E M60A1 Main Battle Tank Crewman and 19K M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank Crewman. We had to maintain physical fitness and conditioning but no walking like the Infantry although I got my share of cross training with Scouts and Infantry in my younger years in the early 1980s before Operation Desert Shield Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Went through BCT & AIT (OSUT) @ Ft Knox in May 1988. I told myself just do an initial 4 years & get out! I ended up spending over 22 years in the Army. Training is always tough physically & mentally but the pride you develope, sense of accomplishment & camaraderie will last a lifetime. Every young man or woman should serve their country, don't be afraid! The Army is a great place to do great things. You have to make the best of each day & strive to do your best in everything you do!!

i have 2 daughters in the army national guard, they are done their basic training one of them whit promotion, pv2, the other E4 since she started because she did 3 years of medicine in college, now they are in AIT, (advance individual training) one for contruction engineer, the other for combat medicine. so proud of both go USA 🙏🏼👍🏻🥰🥰💪🏽💪🏽

Congratulations, Thank you for your service. I was in Ft. Leonard Wood - 1982 as 12B Combat Eng. C-4-2 then I got sent to Ft. Knox, Ky. for my remaining 2-year enlistment. Did another 3 years in Reserves.

This day is still engrained in my memory, but in 2000 we arrived via cattle car into the shark tank at FT Sill. I'm happy the Army is adjusting to whatever it takes to bring in recruits to get in a better situation regardless if it's for college money or a career.

1988 Ft. Leonard wood Missouri. My MOS was a 12C, lived in Germany from 1989-1991 was in the 814th Engineer Co. (A) (FB). Came back stateside to Ft. Polk Louisiana from 1991-1996 while being attached to Ft. Bragg and Ft. McClellan as I transferred from a 12C to an 18B. Before my ETS from the Army, I was able to obtain Air Assault, Air Bourne and an SF Candidate, I passed the SFAS phase but never made it to Q course or Ranger School, but no regrets. I really enjoyed my time as an Army soldier.

As someone who just trained under Senior DS Minnear no less than 2 months ago, I can confirms he is one of the best influences I've ever had in my life. Yes he's hard on you, yes he will yell if you do something wrong, and he will probably do a german suplex if you do something stupid, but he is respectful, wise, and above all else he cares deep down about every single Trainee that walks off that bus and every patch he places on his soldiers. Edit: One of my favorite quotes I'll always remember from Minnear is "YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING!!!! RUUUNNNNNN!!!!" Always screamed that anytime he saw someone taking their sweet ass time getting from place to place lol

I remember basic training back in 89’ at Fort Knox KY from February to May, did AIT (tank mechanic school) right down the street from our basic training building…lol I had a blast in basic, loved the confidence course and PT (physical training), the only thing I didn’t like in basic was the gas chamber……but I loved the drill and ceremony (marching and calling cadence to and from school)….our drill sgt in tank mechanic school was funny as hell, he’d make up cadences all the time and make them sound hilarious…lol I have a bit of advice for anyone going to Fort Knox for basic training………….your gonna have 3 road marches over the course of basic (6 mile, 10 mile and 16 mile…..mind you these were the distances when I went thru basic, don’t know what they are now), after spending the night in the field your gonna have that 16 mile road march back to the barracks (which will be your final excercise of basic training) and you graduate a few days afterwards. My advice is DO NOT volunteer or end up getting picked as a road guard, Fort Knox is famous for its long tough elevated hills (wrecks havoc on your legs)…….the thing about being a road guard is your constantly running to stop traffic and once the platoon is past the traffic your running again to stop the traffic at the next area wherever that may be (some spots are close and others not so close). Just hope and pray it doesn’t rain the night before either, that’s what happened to our class and of course everything got wet our battle dress uniforms and our rucksacks which became heavier……which also puts more weight on your legs etc…..which causes cramps after awhile from prolonged walking, but you won’t care because you’ll be glad basic training is officially over…lol

@@lorenacortez9377 In the marines, an E-3 lance corporal can be in charge of entire platoons and in the army an e-4 specialist would get less respect than a senior lance corporal 03xx in the marines. Shouldn’t choose the branch of service for a damn sign on bonus either, the men in Vietnam didn’t get no bonus.

@@CREEDnokeBro, stop lying my guy. No E3 is gonna be in charge of a platoon and you know it. The ONLY time where that might happen is in the unlikely circumstance that every single NCO was killed along with the PL, and even then it would be very temporary. Plus, under those circumstances it would be the same in any branch, someone would have to step up and lead out of necessity. Marines do have more responsibility at lower ranks because they are a small service and have to operate that way. However, it would be more along the lines of an E3 being a team leader whereas that billet would normally be held my and E4 or E5 in the army.

@hohetannen4703 not sure if you dislike the marine corps, but my thoughts were, when it comes to total pride and thinking you and your organization are at the very top, the Marines have it covered. The Marine Corp is honestly almost like a cult. They are SO prideful and full of bravado. It's literally drilled into them the second they step off the bus at Paris Island. And then they have to go through 'the crucible.' I'm not even saying they are THEE best, I'm just saying they THINK no one compares to them. Which isn't a bad thing, they have total confidence after completing marine basic training. Have you seen A Few Good Men?

@PokemonProfessorNebula haha, exactly. Personally, I do think they are one of the best fighting forces but at the same time so is the 75th Ranger Regiment. Those guys are every bit as elite as marine force recon and MARSOC. I was in the Navy so I've known Marines as well as Navy SEALs. I once met a young Marine, I think he was fresh outta bootcamp and I don't recall exactly how the conversation started but I do remember he actually said "We train the SEALs." I had to keep from laughing and just said "ahh, I see." 😆

My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead, murdered by my brother-in-law Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a meth empire for over a year now and using me as his chemist. Shortly after my 50th birthday, Hank came to me with a rather, shocking proposition. He asked that I use my chemistry knowledge to cook methamphetamine, which he would then sell using his connections in the drug world. Connections that he made through his career with the DEA. I was... astounded, I... I always thought that Hank was a very moral man and I was... thrown, confused, but I was also particularly vulnerable at the time, something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Hank took me on a ride along, and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin so I agreed. Every day, I think back at that moment with regret. I quickly realized that I was in way over my head, and Hank had a partner, a man named Gustavo Fring, a businessman. Hank essentially sold me into servitude to this man, and when I tried to quit, Fring threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Hank and Fring had a falling out. From what I can gather, Hank was always pushing for a greater share of the business, to which Fring flatly refused to give him, and things escalated. Fring was able to arrange, uh I guess I guess you call it a "hit" on my brother-in-law, and failed, but Hank was seriously injured, and I wound up paying his medical bills which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, Hank was bent on revenge, working with a man named Hector Salamanca, he plotted to kill Fring, and did so. In fact, the bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated suicide, but I'm a coward. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. Hank had risen in the ranks to become the head of the Albuquerque DEA, and about that time, to keep me in line, he took my children from me. For 3 months he kept them. My wife, who up until that point, had no idea of my criminal activities, was horrified to learn what I had done, why Hank had taken our children. We were scared. I was in Hell, I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, to end this nightmare, and in response, he gave me this. I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Hank will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. I... All I could think to do was to make this video in hope that the world will finally see this man, for what he really is.

In 1972 we called it the mess hall. If you got a package at mail call,it was opened up in front of the platoon. If it was cookies from home, you got one cookie and the rest were given to the platoon. Happy eating.
