Pleeeeeease don't take this the wrong way, but you can ignore most of what the good lieutenant said here. He is NOT wrong, but here is what you NEED to know before going to basic: Drink water. Do what you are told. Take care of your feet. Don't worry about anything else. The Drill Sergeant will make sure you know what you need to know. And be prepared to be wrong, about almost EVERYTHING. Think of this situation: Your water supply should ALWAYS be full. You should always be drinking water. Both are not possible at the same time. You will be punished for one of those situations. Just remember, the Drill Sergeant has two things to accomplish. First, to make sure you are trained on all of the basic elements of military. Second, to see how well you handle under pressure. Most of what 2LT Ward tells you about in this and many other videos is GREAT advise. But, less than 1% of you will remember beforehand. A good amount will remember after getting smoked..... repeatedly. The two pieces of advise I remembered that saved me, were about my feet, and the first PT test. I was warned the people who measure and give out the clothing do not care about you. Slide your feet ever so slightly forward when they measure, and don't let them crunch your toes. You NEED your feet to be in perfect condition and if you have too small of boots, it'll be horrendous! Second, don't attempt to max that very first PT test. Don't fail it, but don't try to be a PT stud, yet. Your Drill Sergeant will want to see an improvement over the course of basic, otherwise he/she is failing. It doesn't count toward graduation, it only tells the DS what shape you are in and how much they need to work on you physically. If you max it, they will expect it and then some. I scored a 250 on that one, and a 300 on every one after. It helped me stay under the radar. If you are NOT in great shape already, don't worry, you will be by the time you are done.

Mr. Gordon is absolutely right. Orders are to be carried out quickly and correctly THE FIRST TIME. If this is not achieved, there shall be incentive training, and there is no end of that. Do not be surprised if you need to shower more than once per day. Mess hall: sit, eat, leave. DO NOT TALK. Simply, you will be told what to do, how to do it, when and where to do it, and it will be done in an abrupt, aggressive, military manner. If you can handle this (emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually), and can learn from what they will teach you, without injury, then get ready to graduate.

@@pwagner9904 Good afternoon. Obviously, you care about making the most of basic training. So this negativity will not help. Starting now, leave that noise behind. Improvement of your PT numbers is a gradual process, so if you stick with it, you will see good results. Take the time to get it right, and remove the unnecessary pressure from your shoulders. Want some good news? On the first day of basic training, everyone starts with a clean slate. What you have done prior to that moment means nothing to the service. The goal is to transform you into an entity that can handle, analyze, and control any situation. In other words, you will be trained on their terms. You will learn to do what they tell you, and how they tell you. You will be doing plenty of push-ups, whether you mess up or not. For the first three weeks of basic training, this will be a recurring theme. This will be Red Phase - lots of screaming drill sergeants seeking to intimidate any trainee within earshot. There will be White Phase and Blue Phase, but Red Phase is the stuff that inspires nightmares. Basically, you will have bigger problems than not getting enough exercise. Keep your head down and your feet forward.

My best advice was given to me by my recruiter in 2009 - "Do what your Drill Sergeant says." Just period. Full stop. End of discussion. From my personal experience: You will get smoked. You can be perfect and still the DS's will smoke you. Try to be perfect though. Work hard. Matt is right; there is a very high standard, especially concerning accountability and attention to detail. You really will do best if you do follow what an old SGM told me about being squared away. He said "There are four sides to a square: right place, right time, right uniform..."; people miss this part, "... right attitude."

Actually it's smart for you guys to talk to a recruiter while you're still in highschool. If you enlist while you're 17 and still in highschool you can enter something called the DEP Program ( Delayed Entry Program) this will give you $500 every month up until the month you leave added on to your bonus.

Leaving for the Marine Corps basic training at Parris Island in a few months but I've still watched every video you've put out because your tips seem mostly universal besides things like "dont call your DSs(DIs) 'sir'". poolees/recruit/trainees call all Marines sir/ma'am until they get the title then it's by rank. almost wish I was joining the army though just so i could get the most out of your videos because they're so good. plus basic training is 14 weeks for Marines (plus a month of combat training for POGs, straight to school for infantry) after that, where as my understanding for the Army is 8 weeks then straight to job school/infantry school.

While I don't plan on joining the military anytime soon, I still enjoy these videos

im going to basic training on the 28th of decemeber im really glad you told me what i need to no. im getting hang of the soldiers creed, and the general orders, and getting the ranks in the bag. just gotta keep reapeating it over and over again. thanks for the tips man. defiantly will help me in basic training.

I like your advice. This video answered a few questions that I hadn't asked my recruiter yet. Im trying to join the army at 32 years old. I tried joining when I was 19 but it didn't work out at the time. This is something I have wanted to do since I was only 13. I am really keeping my fingers crossed that my recruiter this time around can help me fulfill my dream career. Anybody reading this, wish me luck if you would please. I can also offer one piece of advice for people considering joining the military: STAY THE HELL OUT OF TROUBLE!!! I don't care how young & invincible you feel or think you are. Trouble with the law is what's causing me such a headache. It was all petty stuff too, not a single felony. I screwed up my future and career before I turned 17. It's still not a for sure thing this time either but I've got faith & confidence in my recruiter. Just know that serving in the military is an honor & a privilege, not a right.

I think most of your Vid is good, but one thing that is extremely important is doing well with the rifle, marksmanship is absolutely in my opinion the most important skill, I know not everyone can qualify for an expert badge but it is essential to do the best as you can. Maybe many things have changed when I went through it many years ago, my senior Drill Sargeant did three tours in Nam, and that was the most important thing to him.

Thank you for telling us about this cuz I really do need to know and learn about this when I go to basic training
