So how do you access Delta Force Operation Training Course to be a badass ?

That bus ride through the woods is identical to my experience at Fort Jackson 25 years ago. Heads down, eyes closed so that you have no idea what the route is from Reception to your Company area. We threw all of our bags in a pile just like you see here. When we went back to retrieve them a few hours later, it was pitch dark already. One difference though is that all our bags were exactly the same, as everything was in the big sea bags or the smaller green laundry bags. The only way to identify your bags was the black stenciled sharpies you used to write your name on. At night you can forget about locating your own bag. When we started the shakedown, it was complete chaos because no one had their own stuff anymore. The Drill Sergeants walked up and down the rows kicking and throwing stuff all over the place. It is impossible to avoid having your issued equipment mixed up with everyone else's. But fear not, young Private. This is just the first of many situations that you will be placed in where there is no way to win. That first night is LONG, and nothing will go right. The secret is to just keep going, don't get frustrated, don't whine, don't quit. You will eventually get everything sorted out. It is an experience you will remember clearly for all your days. Within 1-2 days, things start falling into place. You are kept busy, constantly challenged, and will be bone tired by lights out. Exhaustion trumps anxiety, and you will sleep soundly when you finally get to your rack. There won't be time for pity parties or whining. Before you know it, it will all be over. You will almost certainly be stronger, more organized, and squared away in general. Good luck!

Also when the recruiters give you a packing list, don’t even buy any of those things, you’ll be able to buy socks and undergarments in basic. Don’t pack extra clothes, it’ll just be more for you to carry. In basic you won’t use your phones often but do bring a charger or even a portable charger too.

I was the guy that unfortunately (for me, at least) stepped on the DS boots while exiting the bus...I mean he was standing right there... Thankfully I was not last off the bus too...That day and the weeks that followed are forever etched in my mind and made me the man I am today.

Fort Polk, 1965. A bit different but still the same.

to anyone who is interested: the reason trainees flap their arms like a bird after going through the gas chamber, is because its not actually a gas. its more like a powder, and is activated by moisture. you stand in the chamber and perform various exercises to produce sweat that activates it. it feels like a bad sunburn. from there, the drill will go to each individual tell them to remove their mask, and breathe in, or sometimes receite the soldiers creed. when you are leaving, flapping your arms knocks all the loose powders off of your clothes. you dont want to get back to the bay and have that powder get on your bed or other uniforms.

When I was in basic in 2015 we were only allowed to do corrective training (when troops make a mistake) for a short time because they didn’t want us to fall out, back in the days from what I have been told it was a lot more then around 20 minutes of corrective training, a friend of mine recently graduated and told me they hardly ever did corrective training, just verbal instruction on what not to do, they no longer have the shark attack on your first day because they didn’t want to stress out the new recruits.

How do feel about basic now?

I did my basic at fort Leonard Wood in 1970. All the drill sargents were fresh back from Vietnam and we respected them so much no matter what they said or did to us , they were always fair and looking out for us. The first week I had blisters the size of silver dollars on my feet, at first I thought I had gotten rocks in my boots somehow. The only time we were inside a building was to eat or sleep. Marching, calisthenics, or shooting all the time. When someone screwed up or fell down , marching or double timing, they'd make the guy lie on his back and swing his arms and legs and shout " I am a dying cockroach", or make him duckwalk in circles and shout " I can not march so I walk like a duck" , or often they'd make him do a hundred pushups and then run to catch up with the formation. After a few weeks or right away if you wanted to invite trouble we could buy a quart of beer for 10 cents, I blew a dollar that way more than once. One real difference at that time was the "Draft", there were plenty of sad and strange stories about how some men were inducted, and PLENTY of " strange " inductees. Men who were married had so much of their pay sent to their wives that the men didn't have enough cash to even smoke "Bull Durham".

I Graduated Ft Jackson 1975. Had the best time of my life it was fkn Tough loved every minute of it. guard duty was awesome, beer machines on every other corner. K P to... all the food i could eat.. drill sergeants a hell of a lot tougher then

I can confirm. I went there for basic and I'm almost done with my AIT

Thats amazing my big brother is currently in the army

I was Navy, I'll always remember the confidence chamber, they said I had a good seal, I was in the back row, I got hit with 3 tabs.... I thought I was going to die. The confidence chamber is great if you have the crud because it will clear you out.

ah, yes, the confidence chamber. Our drill sergeants were nice enough to give us all the moonpies we can eat. luckily, i declined. Unfortunately, there were a few that didn't know.

Damn no way to avoid the gas chamber huh? I'm 31 so it's either Army or Navy for me. I figure the Navy has a shorter easier boot camp but I can't swim. The Army has 22 week boot camp which is the longest and probably 2nd toughest other than Marines lol

i used to to Fort Benning for Infantryman training, 16 weeks. It was hell at first, but after a few weeks, its better. But, after i report to my unit 10th Moutain at Fort Polk, LA. things change a lot, and even more when i was deployed to Afghanistan (one of the most dangerous in Afghanistan at that time.

Good recruits and I feel so proud of our troops who walk the line for our freedoms in this great country. God bless the US! 🇺🇸

Fort Leonard Wood July 1984 12C. I can honestly say I had a blast...except marching out to the bridge building range in MOPP level 4. I had no idea you could sweat that much.

I know this is not shark attack but at least the sergeants are yelling at the reccruits and that brings military vibes.

It's not that they got rid of the yelling in boot camp, Shark Attack came around during the Vietnam War because there were so many unwilling conscripts during that time. They replaced it with team coordination exercises. I guess it's an unfortunate time to do so with all the woke shit going on so it was perceived as a way to baby recruits.

I ship out in 2 days I’m excited asf

Good thing we were the group that decided to go to BCT in the summer in South carolina

I completed BCT at Ft Jackson summer or 2005. Spent a lot of time questioning myself then… still one of the proudest moments of my life!

Going to Fort Jackson in April very excited 😅

I can hear Drill SGT Hubbard's voice in the beginning!! she was such a dope Drill... She really cared for us or at least I think she did haha

I know it'll be tough, the toughest thing I've ever done, but I can't wait to join. I know there'll be times during BCT where I'll regret enlisting, but I know that at the end it will all be worth it.

When I was on the trail, I loved to see how many I could make cry.

This reminds me of my time in the military basic training then I went on to join the 75th rangers 2bn all inspired by my older brother a Vietnam vet 2 tours go young men go

Obstacle courses are such a small small part of BCT. We only did about 2 obstacle courses throughout our entire 10 weeks. Loved it though... cadences, rucks, and the field exercises were my favorite part. To be honest though the majority of my BCT was just standing around waiting for something to happen and/or get done lol

Went to basic and AIT at Fort McClellan Alabama in 93. I'll hold my comments on what I just watched.

This time in 1986, I had just started basic training at Ft. Jackson. I arrived at the reception station on July 2. Delta 2-1-1, Hollywood. I remember my drill Sargeants and the guys in my platoon as if it were yesterday. Hot, Hot, Hot.

@@boeuf-in9oeyou’re exactly the reason why the military has gotten soft. Bunch of people easily offended by a persons loud voice. You think the enemy is going to talk nicely and respectful to you when you’re out there and it’s just you and him? The military needs to stop catering to these sissy boys and remember ain’t no room for weakness out there on the field.

Now I see why they call it relaxin Jackson! 😂 When our DI’s picked us up from receiving it was in cattle cars, no bus. And they made us bury our face in our bags so we had no idea where we was.

I was there in Oct,2021. Literally it was great experience then i met a lot of good DI and friends. Just enjoy your time over there!
