Same here, brother! 95B 🇺🇸

Hear this everyday at 1700! And on Sundays they play the national anthem with it too.

Imagine how many men and women heard this? It plays everyday, what you are hearing is what millions of soldiers heard as well. I’ll always look back at basic training as one of the best times in my life. Some of those days sucked more than a swarm of leeches but I really can only recall the good times. The one team one fight and sucking the suck as a company. Doing those cadences that I miss terribly. So many people can’t stand doing them and it’s like the soul of the army for me. When DS has a good voice on top of it...it’s music to my ears. A lot of people won’t know what we went through and had to deal with in training. It’s crazy to think so few have the privilege to go through that training. For anyone considering going through and serving and is nervous about it. I’ll give you some advice: Training: It’s about your mental strength. They will cut you down and wether you are right or wrong...it’s wrong or very wrong. Don’t let the harshness get to you. It’s all Part of that building a team mentality. Actions: When it comes to making a decision and you pick one. Stick with it, stand by your choice and follow through. Even if it was a bad choice be confident in your actions. If it was in the best interest for your battle, team, squad, platoon, company. Being confident in your decisions goes a long way. Be sure to support your actions with a statement. One team one fight. Study: know your stuff, be diligent with your time in training. Don’t slack off, the more you know the more confident you’ll be in your decisions and less likely to make a poor one. Wether on your own or in a team setting. Accountable: When you make a mistake own up to it and stand by it. Don’t blame others, don’t blame anything. Be accountable for your actions and part of that is correcting those mistakes in the future. Parts of what makes a great leader is that. Goals: dedicate your effort and time to your goals you want to fulfill. And lastly: Be at the right place, right time. (15minutes before the hit time) in the right uniform with the right items on your person and you will save yourself a lot of headache. Try to have fun with it because you’ll look back at it and miss it like most of us do. Be scared, because that’s part of the fun.

I'VE BEEN HONORED AND BLESSED TO HEAR THIS BUGLE BLOWING FOR OVER 35 YEARS, AND TODAY, IT STILL SOUNDS WONDERFUL. I REMEMBER OLD SCRATCHY RECORDS PLAYING THIS MAGNIFICENT SONG OF FREEDOM TO ME.

God the memories. Hearing this at 1700 always made me smile that I got to join the Armed Forces

I sent this to my Grand daughter. She's in AIT right now. 6 Soldiers just stood at attention out of habit.

Always got to pay attention to the time so you’re safely inside when this plays haha. But seriously, I don’t mind rendering a salute.

Was stationed at NAS Pensacola, it was always amazing when, at an under 8 soccer game, the navy team would stop, face the flag and put their hand to their heart, until To The Colors was over.

No matter where we were on base we turned in the direction of the flagpole and held attention until over. I did that for 17 years.

Dad was in the Navy for 20+ years. I lived in navy housing most of my life and eventually became a civilian employed on that same naval station. I moved away to a completely civilian job about two years ago. Since my last house was right across the street from NOB it was just normal to hear, I never thought that I would miss this every evening.

WT heck am I smiling and tears are welling up!!! OMG I miss this... Retired in 2011!!!

Had this one 1SG that had a rule of no one being out saluting the flag. His reasoning was that you cannot leave until after 1700, anyone saluting was leaving before 1700. Well, we were standing by the door waiting and this one high speed, slick sleeve PFC looks at us and shakes his head and waltzes out the door and gives a crisp salute. We all knew what was going to happen next, but decided not to warn him because...well he was high speed. Anyway, 1SG comes bursting through and we all hear, "HEY THERE SHIT FOR BRAINS....COME HERE!" He's in the " I done fucked up," parade rest, we walk past and hear cadence. He is getting the shit smoked out of him. A solid 10 minutes later I drive by and he is doing flutter kicks in obvious pain. What a hero.

I was in the AF for 20 years as a cop, and I had to do flag detail. When we did retreat, they played "retreat" on the giant voice, then the national anthem . It was many years before I knew the Army did it differently. Also in Germany, they played the German national anthem first, then the US anthem.
