Good job Mr. Holland. By this time I was a Sergeant First Class in the 101st new 4th Brigade. I had the privilege of leading dozens of Soldiers from this era in Iraq. They all knew that as 11B's they would be going to combat soon. All of you volunteered and served at a critical time and the majority performed their duty without hesitation. My oldest son joined in 2010 right out of high school and is now a Staff Sergeant in the Infantry. All of you are owed a debt of gratitude from our Nation. Thank you very sincerely for your sacrifice and service. RLTW MSG (R) Dave.

Pure nonsense. I was in the Army from 1992 to 2016. The Army is not weaker today than it was when I was in. Things are done differently, but it is still strong and effective. Some methods deployed in different eras could be deemed dehumanizing and not create individuals with dignity or respect. It's a misconception to deem any adjustments or changes to training and receiving new soldiers as being weaker. Nah, it's just more effective and reasonable to do things a little different.

When I went to Benning, I thought I was Chinese. It was always, "Do push-ups, Yu" or "Come here, Yu". Also, to anyone going to Infantry school, just a word of advice. When you get to your duty station and they ask you where you went to basic. Tell them your unit, i.e. C 2/58. Do NOT say, Fort Benning.

We were just completing blue phase or heading to AIT by this time. Still though, great upload - fun to watch. Sand Hill will always have a special place in my heart. My favorite part will always be on the bus as we finally pulled up to sand hill from reception and saw one of drill sergeants standing by the driveway, wearing a big toothy sadistic grin and enthusiastically waving at a bus load of wide eyed, utterly SILENT recruits. And that was the first time I finally thought to myself, "awwww damnit... what have I just got myself into???" Rock of the Marne ;D

Chris Tokunaga I was in B 2-58 in 2011

I graduated that year. Not necessarily with that platoon, but like I said before. I think my cycle was the very last cycle that they were actually really strict with. I hated every minute of it, but now looking back, I wouldn't have it any other way. Long live the infantry

i was there. i didnt do push ups because the drill sargents knew i was really tough and they didnt wanna mess with me. i was best in class and soon was ranked up higher then them.

At 4:14, kid, don't just stand there, move! Even if you don't know where to go, just move! Funny as hell!

ah.. good times.. sure isn't like it used to be

Was a early 90s soldier never regretted it things have definitely changed since my day

Not a cellphone in sight, just people living in the moment.

XDDDD I love how the drill instructor's throw the bags

You do not address them as drill instructor, you address them as drill sgt. You call them by their rank because they earned that rank.

***** You do know PTSD can come from ANYTHING. Even for civilians. Its not exclusive to vets but to everyone. Cops and Firefighters have a lot as well. And guess what our first job in the Army is infantry. Regardless what your job is. When you are in a combat zone, everyone's combatant. Only those who receives the CIB badges are combat infantry meaning those who went through combat. And don't forget about CAB's too. This bickering of you is so unprofessional and don't respect your fellow vets in arms. If you really did served you would know that.

During first week of basic we had our first KP duty. I got stuck washing cookie sheets they'd cooked sausage patties on that had loads of grease and shit stuck to them that would immediately turn water brackish. Drill would walk by and tell me to change water...did it about a dozen times and then got yelled at for taking to long. Got frustrated and threw cookie sheet in water which a few drops splashed onto drill I didn't see. Thought for sure I was a dead man and came to attention expecting a special type of punishment. He only gave me an evil look, said "Nice job private" and walked on. Still don't know why he didn't kill me.

The Army of today is apparently a lot more resilient than the Army of your day. It takes a lot more than getting rid of a style of boot to phase us now. Of course we have been at war longer than any generation in US history, so it shouldn't be surprising that such a trivial thing would so easily phase the part-timers of the past.

That's ok. It is best to be afraid because that will help you succeed and in the long run, you'll be glad you were afraid and taking it serious. Your cadres (Training and drill sergeants) will see that too and they won't let up by any means, but your fears will help you push yourself. Just a word of advice, stay away from the kids that are being cocky and not at all worried. You'll notice them at the airports when you're in transit. They will be the ones wearing the rodeo t-shirts, sporting a belt buckle the size of championship gold and wearing sunglasses at night, as well as looking like a chipmunk because they have half a can of snoose in the mouth. They will be the ones kicked back with their hands folded behind their heads looking cool and relaxed and they somehow know that you will fuck up, but they will be just fine. These dudes are nothing but trouble and your cadres will close in on them like SEAL Team 6 on Bin Laden, because I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of your cadres will be combat vets as well and nothing, I mean NOTHING, angers combat vets more than a dumbass, wannabe shitkicker recruit who thinks he has more to offer the Army than the Army has to offer him. They will seriously make these dudes and their associates lives a living hell and they will do it in ways that I cannot even describe. If you listen to what they are telling you and avoid these other clowns that I described, you'll fair just fine.

@parasite6302

That is absolutely what I'm telling you. There is nothing wrong with being afraid to leave for recruit training. It is perfectly normal. When I left for the army (I went to Fort Benning, the same pace these guys are at) I was terrified. I was so spooked that I couldn't eat anything at all, not even in transit and the night before I actually left, I didn't sleep a wink. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being afraid to go to recruit training. Seriously, how many people sign up and volunteer to get screamed at for three months; not too many. Here's the thing, the fact that you are afraid means that you are taking this thing serious, which is the way it should be, because the U.S. Military itself is a corporate entity and the tax payers are the share holders and what is the mission statement of armies? To fight wars; defending the country falls under that category. So considering what the purpose is, this is something that you really do need to take serious and that fear and worry you have is not at all misguided, it is right where it should be and I'm sure you will do just fine.

Plus at Ft.Sill or any training facility in general, the DS's have no right to put their hands on you. I've seen some guys get punched & jacked up for no reason. I remember if we felt that a DS or any of the soldiers were mistreated, we reported it. The platoon I was in, we weren't able to report shit. Despite the negative things I endured during my time, I did learn a lot of things, let alone learned a lot about how to deal with different people
