I did it in 2011. 31B Military Police. It's a great stepping stone for a young man/woman. My advice; pay attention to detail and keep a low profile. Sucks to say but you can't trust anyone keep your belongings on you or locked away at all times. It's 20% physical stress and 80% mental. Everything you'll be made to do, your DS and many others before you have been there. Don't give up and in the end the sense of accomplishment is unlike any other. Good luck and God bless all who decide to join up.

It's probably gonna be cold, so make sure that, if your drills tell you to wear winter uniform, do it, si you won't get your platoon smoked because you wore something else. Also, be confident, the first few weeks are gonna be tough, but you'll pull through it. Use the MRE coffee to keep yourself awake, practice what your drills have taught you in the bays with your battle buddies, and study the books they give you. Do as you're told, nothing less, nothing more. Those 10 weeks will go fast bro, be safe and God bless you.

Don't give up be confident. I joined at age 31 but I was confident and loved PT. I motivated 2 other younger men to keep on keeping on. and those two and I graduated. It's a team experience with the right attitude and mentality. I was in boot camp training in 1989 at Fort Jackson.

July 1st for me!

The last part where they talk about the impact going through this process has on an individual is situational. Sure it makes you more physically fit (can't deny that) but if you're the kind of person that gets everyone smoked because you don't care that won't change when you leave basic. But on the other side of that, if you give yourself to the process, drills, and pain I guarantee you'll come out a better version of yourself than when you initially entered. Also one thing they got wrong was your last ACFT being during graduation week. How it works in basic is you will get an ACFT at the end of every phase (at least at Fort Jackson where I went to basic) from red phase to blue phase. The last ACFT will be at the end of blue phase BEFORE you go to the forge. You have to pass this one in order to GO TO the forge, if you fail it you will be recycled as a hold but at that point you should be motivated and physically fit enough to pass by a wide margin. Night Infiltration Course (NIC) was definitely one of the best parts of the forge 5:50. It's also worth mentioning that the drills will be there with you through all the hard times where it be during a course or them making the hard time lol. But for me at least having them there next to you during those courses, especially NIC, was a motivation to get through it because they're putting themselves through the same thing. Overall though, basic will feel long until you get out of it and go to AIT and it'll increasingly feel like a distant memory lol. Just get through it and forge a path to success for your future!

I went thru basic training and AIT from February to August back in 1989 at Fort Knox KY….63E10 H8… M1A1 Tank Engine Mechanic and Tank Recovery Specialist. I had a blast in basic, loved the PT, confidence course, marksmanship, the D&C (drill and ceremony) with cadence songs and everything……the only thing I didn’t like was the gas chamber. To those going to basic or those thinking about joining the army just remember basic training is a mental game and it’s basically you against yourself (the old you vs the new soldier you)……….the only motivation you’ll need to get thru basic is this, either you fight thru and make it to graduation or have the constant daily reminder of your friends teasing and taunting and laughing at you that you couldn’t make it thru basic training etc etc…..

i had basic in 1975 at ft polk and i remember the food being a lot more basic,

I'm going back again in a month after getting separated 2 years ago. Idk why but I'm more nervous the second time then I was the first time

Yeah our drills missed the memo about us being Soldiers not Trainees after the conclusion of the Soldiering Ceremony. All the way up to “Trainees get on the bus.” as we were going to our next TRADOC location.

I get shipped out on the 15th of November, 12Bravo as a combat engineer. Going to Fort Leonard Wood. HOOAH!!!!

Have fun waiting at 42nd while you see all the 88M and 35 series get front loaded lmao

Every veteran’s journey starts by taking the oath, and mine began in 1983 with the US Army as a 11H to help pay for college. A few years later, I took another oath as a commissioned officer as a 11A and retired as a O5. Throughout my 26 years of service, one experience remains etched in my memory like no other - the profound impact of combat. To all the young soldiers stepping into the arena. Never give up... always strive for high achievement in yourself and the soldiers around you. Salute!

C-Co 3-10 best time of my life and best sleep of my life. It’s going to suck most days but it gets easier as the phases go up. Always remember it’s not a one man army. Ask questions!!!

I been trying so hard to enlist but my embassy is making it a nightmare. They pretty much just told me to F off twice

Graduated from ft.leonardwood ,MO in August 16, 1984 the memory and friends I made in BCT will stay with me for life.

Did they actually change Georgia’s base from Ft.Benning too Ft.Moore

I'm going to leonardwood, same place my dad did his basic. It'll be fun to see how much has changed from his time to mine.

BCT is 80% mental and 20% physical. You can be as fit as an Olympic athlete and still fold. You have to tell yourself you can because there are those who will tell you you can’t. You will feel alone, but as long as you have a good support system back home and faith (if you believe) you’ll get through it. Remember BCT is only two months out of your life.

Went through, came back a whole different person by the end. 3-13 Delta, Infernals of The Death Dealers Forever…

Looks fun :)

Any advice for a 27 year old mom who is thinking about joining? I have a previous law enforcement background but the academy I went to was at a college and did not break me of my old ways, in addition I was 18 when I went and very immature. I am now in social worker but every day I come to work I feel like something is missing in my career. I long for the discipline, and more so a better view on how I view myself. I want to join but I am fearful of the time away from my children and quite frankly leaving my comfort zone of a small town.

Obviously take this with a grain of salt. Go reserves if you want to get the benefits of serving while keeping your civilian life. That’s what I chose and I found it to be the perfect blend of military and civilian life. I’m fairly young, went in at 23 yrs old, and the biggest challenge throughout training was the age difference. I caught the end of the “summer rush” so a lot of my platoon members were 18-19 yrs old. Don’t let that be a deterrent, it was really humbling getting treated the same way as they did, even though you have more life experience. Do online research on the jobs you want in the army. DONT let a recruiter strong arm you into something you don’t want. ITS NOT WORTH IT

How to become part of the US Army when you are from Africa I want to join this service badly,

My “6 month delay” will be over in November I’ll be back eligible I have to get cleared by MEPS then swear in & oath of enlistment etc…

34 bad knee, wish i could join bummer i cant get in and so many dont want it

Remember after the training process you get to spend 5 weeks waiting to be sent to ait, then another 5 weeks waiting to go to your duty station.
