I will see how that goes when I get there. Note: I was discharged honorably - the incarceration happened roughly 4 years after my discharge.

Stuff I found out back home that really affected me DON'T DO THIS. it will really follow you the rest of your life. And also I didn't get a dishonorable discharge you get chapter out under honorable conditions so I was ok and so was everyone else who went a little crazy..

The important thing to remember is that serving in the Armed Forces is public record. Anyone can submit the freedom of information act request and the DoD will release only specific info regarding your service records (start date, end date, branch of service, deployments, combat service w/ locations, medals received, rank and characterization of service (honorable, dishonorable, etc). So remember your service is public record and can show up on background checks. Trainees receive uncharacterized because you never actually made it to your unit. This is not an honorable discharge. The VA will not consider you a veteran until you serve 180 of Active service After training. So you have to complete training and serve 6 months Active to get VA healthcare. To get GI Bill you Must receive Honorable. General under honorable conditions will not count. Had a trainee drop out on my campus tried to apply for gibill and we were like "dude... You failed training. There's no gibill for you". It's like no one reads the contract they sign

I never knew any of the things you outlined in this video, only that if you TDP, you're in for a less-than-honorable discharge. But as I said under another of your videos, I repeat here: I wanted to quit so bad I could taste it, just 3 weeks in. If not for strong family opposition, I WOULD have quit. But I am SO glad I stayed in, was forced to stick it out, and finished my 13 weeks of OSUT. That whole experience changed me forever. Some of my better character traits can be traced back to the disciplines forced upon me during that unpleasant time. It built character and resilience. I'm now in my fifties, and I'm still organized, self-disciplined, keep a clean home, and 'move with a purpose' when I set out to do something. And I have plenty of interesting stories to tell my two boys. I would have NONE of that today, and nothing but bad memories, if I had instead quit!

While I'm not in the military, what I can say is that with anything in life that's going to be a challenge and you know pretty much what you're getting yourself into...make sure you're mentally 100% into it beforehand. That's a big key to being successful at the challenge. If you're not into it upstairs before you start, your odds of failing are better than your odds at success.

"Hold Over" is mainly about those who couldn't graduate with their class because they failed a course or failed APFT and have to repeat it to pass. Same goes with medical reasons too. Its basically holding there until they pass whatever they failed at and once pass they can move onto their AIT. They are not quiters. At least most of the hold overs are not. And I admit I was one of those hold overs. I went into basic in 2003. The ONLY thing stop me from graduating with my class was my sit-ups. Passed everything. So our DS had us stay in the small room which is the DS room and had to wait till the new class did their first APFT. Once they did theirs we did ours with them. So I finally passed and again had to wait for the next class to graduate and go with the next class to AIT. That was a week away after I pass my PT test. I didn't quit. So basically when I finally graduated from AIT I was a class behind. But that's okay. Nobody's perfect. And I pushed myself to my limits to make sure I graduate AIT on time unlike my basic training one. That's my story on why you don't quit. You push yourself more and work on what you need to work on you won't have any trouble. So what I was a class behind, I graduated.

Damn I leave in a couple days to Fort Jackson. I'm pumped I can't wait to do this. Wish I had more time to get fit. I only had a month and worked full time late night hours.

He told me he was given a failure to adapt and about a year later was able to re-enlist due to his reasoning of leaving. Its crazy that some people try to end their life at basic training, I couldn't imagine doing something like that.

Some folks just aren’t cut out for the military, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Just go be successful somewhere else. I’m an honorably discharged Army vet by the way and I’m glad I served.

When I was at reception in 2005 in Fort Sill, the cadre there was PHENOMENAL. Due to the circumstances and amount of trainees they had, there was a long wait for companies and batteries to go into basic training. So, a lot of guys got disheartened and unmotivated. A lot wanted to quit simply because they got tired of waiting or started having second thoughts. I don't know the stats off hand, but I remember only ever seeing about 3 out of several hundred guys who were quiters so to speak. The cadre made every effort they could to mentor the guys who were considering giving up and were able to talk a lot of guys into staying. Sometimes quitting on the people who are giving up is just detrimental on the Army as the people quitting themselves. Really outstanding Commanders and Drill Sergeants.

It’s a decision that people should know what they are getting themselves into with no regrets.

I have a few interjections, I was medically discharged due to fracturing my hip, I could hardly walk and I was sent home with out the choice to return. The second is no discharge weather it’s dishonorable, medical, or a FTA is on your record if you have less than 180 days of active duty. While at basic this days do count towards active duty days so if you are there that long then it would go on your record. I was there for about 130-140 days in total and my medical discharge is not on my record. Good video keep it up.

I was at Sill 15 months thanks to an ankle injury halfway through white phase... Physical therapy, surgery, recovery, more therapy, walk-to-run, and had to recycle to the beginning. Still think it's funny how, when I recycled, I pretty much fried my DSs' brains in confusion when they saw I had TA-50 on Day 0. Despite how long the recovery was for my ankle, I still got one of the fastest run times on that PT test. I actually got so used to the environment, some DSs got extra heated when I wasn't the slightest bit intimidated by them because I had gotten so used to it.

One thing I want known is I never lost love or desire for the Army, I wore the uniform with immense pride and dignity. There isn’t a day that go’s by I don’t think about all that time spent there, believing in something and then losing it all, but mostly losing my own mental state. I tell people who have asked me that I’m not a soldier, and I’m not a veteran, but I was in the Army. I didn’t quit because I was a quitter, I left because it was the absolute best decision for me, and my future family. Sometimes being a man is looking in the mirror and seeing your true self, your own truth of what IS RIGHT. No one can take that power from you.

I did Infantry basic (OSUT) eight years ago. I ended up getting a stress-fracture on my pelvis that started at around week 5-6. They put me on crutches and eventually sent me home for 30 days to heal. When I got back to Benning, my class was almost ready to graduate. Once they did, I got sent to hold-over, for about a month, while I did rehab. Eventually, I joined a new company, who were at week 4 already. Long story short, it was a six month ordeal to finally get my blue cord. I was treated fine as a hold-over, but it’s like purgatory. There’s not much to do, so the days crawled by. That month felt like three months. Long story short: keep your head up; it’s absolute hell at times, but the misery does end eventually. Definitely don’t quit, no matter what.

Been a few years ago, but after I graduated BCT at Benning, I arrived at my AIT in Leonard Wood early and stayed at their reception for two weeks. Not as bad as 30th AG, but still not the best.

I sprained my ankle pretty bad in bootcamp and was placed on light duty for a few days. When they took the bandages off, my ankle was still swollen and hurt like hell, but the absolutely fear of being recycled made me gut it out. I kept quiet about it and was miserable for the remainder of my training. I think my DIs knew what was up, but they couldn't really do anything because I was completing the training and I didn't complain. About mid-way through training, we picked up a recruit who was recycled from an earlier platoon. He had the misfortune of developing appendicitis during training and told me how miserable it was waiting to be assigned to another platoon while he healed. Wasn't about to let that happen to me no matter what. Bottomline, you want to get off the island? You complete your training and graduate.

After growing up in Watts with the guys who started the bloods and trying not to let the crips and Cholos try to beat or kill me basic training was the beginning of the best time in my damn life!!!!! Basic training saved my life.

I was drafted into the Army during Vietnam. NOBODY failed basic training during that period, the Drill Sergeants “fixed” it to make sure you graduated basic training. Uncle Sam needed body counts in the ‘Nam!

In 1981, when I was in, a guy married one day before shipping out. He went nuts and walked to the CO s office and said he was gay, and apologized for not being honest. The commander replied, "Son I don't believe you!! But, if you really want out bad enough to make up a story like that I'll let you out, now." He signed him out that day, and he grabbed his gear and told us about it and left.

I leave for basic in 2 weeks and I recently week on a 5.5 mile march on my own and I'm worried I pulled a thigh muscle. I dont think it's bad, but I'm worried about it getting worse as a continue to workout and once I get there. Can anyone provided any advice?

Would I wait until the following summer to take that part of training again, or would I have to start basic training over completely?

What if my wrist is hurting. I can’t lift or do that much. Can I still go to basic training or can I choose a different start date.

I have been watching several of your vlogs and find them interesting and very accurate. I was one of the lucky ones during basic training that I wasn't a hold over. I ended up getting an inter ear infection in both ears towards the end of basic training. Luck for me, my platoon begged for me to graduate with them instead of being held over. The promised to work with me after our normal training was finished for the day. The PFT was the hard part for me to pass since I was still recovering from the infection.

Can you re-enlist? I feel huge regret I got chapter 11. Currently in reenlist code 3. Help?

I have a good friend who seems to be having a few problems.. she broke her hip the first time and was held over.. second time she ended up in a quarantine camp.. now she's been given a new MOS and she's being transferred from Benning to Ft.

Hi Matt, my grandson went through basic at Ft Benning . while he was there he fractured an ankle and was worried about being reverted during his training. he was very upset about it and he did call me to talk about it. i told him when i went through boot camp in 1963 ( USCG ) i told him we had guys who were injured and were reverted but they made it through and graduated and went on to their first units. he came home here for two weeks for rest and when he went back to Ft Benning and his Sgt and Company Commander talked to him he was just fine. he is now at Ft Campbell and doing great. he also told his mother he didn't want to disapoint me i love that young man he has realy grown into a mature young man.

Idk if you have said it or not in another video, but how hot was it in the barracks? Like was is kinda cool when yall went to sleep? And do at any point in bt, are you allowed to dip or anything?

halidron2 some have fans inside them you can use, it’s not to bad, and dip is DEFINITLY not aloud, I was in bravo 25-4 infantry basic in fort benning and we would get the shit smoked out of us for getting caught with dip lmao

What happens if you get injured to the point where you can’t return to basic?

What happens if a trainee decides to talk to someone about depression? Will he be processed out? And if he is stuck there until they sign papers will he get a phone call to let his family know? Will he still get letters?

Hes talking about people attempting it, and I can completely back him up on it, the amount of times ive heard of these kids now a days killing themselves in basic is crazy especally because of how often it happens

The thing that set me over the edge was the lack of information and having no one. My battle buddy’s were told to hate me by our drill sergeants for being to weak. I understand why the did what they did, they couldn’t allow others to try to use their injuries as an excuse, they were right for it in their own way. It took it’s toll anyway, left me in a very dark, lonely place. I would go and hide in my locker while they cleaned weapons or cleaned their lockers. It was the one place no one could touch me, but of course I was still trapped. I’m not going to go into grave detail about my experience but I realized being an athletic or combative person didn’t actually matter that much there. It helped in training but everyone gets broken down. Unfortunately for me I wasn’t being built back up, and I was just knocking myself down more, and more.

I wanted to join the army but I couldn’t because of having back surgery! Will my back a still disqualify me!

Takes about 4 weeks to un-dot the i's and un-cross the t's...if you don't f up at the separation barracks.

what if they found out that u have a heart condition n get sent home? that happens to my nephew? Can he quit or just fixs himself?

Never quit!

So the only way to get booted is to quit... so how do get booted from Marine bootcamp ? What does it take, and why ?

I went into the military with very little cartilage in both of my knees (I lied at MEPS and didn’t say anything at Reception). I managed to get micro tears in both my outer meniscus and inner meniscus in my knees. I made it worse by refusing to go to sick call. It got to the point where I could only walk straight legged and couldn’t physically run. My Senior Drill Sergeant repeatedly told me to go to sick call to get checked out and I refused. Eventually he told me I didn’t have a choice and it was only getting worse so I agreed to go. When the ran all of their tests they discovered I had damn near no cartilage and had micro tears (+ Patela fomoral sybdrome and IT band Syndrome).

This may sound stupid, but what happens if one says they quit, but then they change their mind? Mind you, I don’t plan on doing that, but I am curious if you or anyone you know has seen that happen?

Dude, you don’t know what people are going through internally. I wouldn’t call them a quitter.

What's you opinion on being sent home from boot camp at 3 weeks? Idiot married to my niece claims he got a med. I retired from the Marines and i know something smells fishy about that i think he just wimped out let me know i was in the Marines don't know much about army

We had a mofo quit/refuse to train back in 2010, Ft Jackson. He stuck around the entire time.....AND STILL GRADUATED! The amount of hatred we had for the guy, especially on our victory forge ruck march, he rode in the fallout van the whole time and had the nerve to change his socks when we got to the training site.

The only way to get a dishonorable discharge is to be convicted at a general court martial for a serious crime. Those who "quit" or just can't hack basic training are given entry level separations. These are neither honorable nor dishonorable discharges.

I separated my clavicle doing the foreman's cary in combat medic training, I did CQ duty for the remaining 6 weeks and got recycled to a new unit to finish basic training.

I quit basic for several reasons, im not gonna get into why, but here is how it played out for me: I ended up trying to refuse to train, and my drill sergeants first told me it didn’t exist. I kept asking because I knew it did exist, but they didn’t have it until around white phase where my senior drill sergeant just called me to his office and told me he knows I’m trying to get out of here and that it’s a process and I just gotta be patient. He helped me out with that whole process. I had another situation going on while this was happening where I was on profile. I was told I couldnt leave until i was RTD (returned to duty), which took around 7-8 weeks total. Then after I was RTD, I got sent back to reception a week after that at the return home company, and then I stayed there for a week until I came back. Ive been home for a little over a week now. Honestly my pride took a huge hit. I’m ashamed of the way I acted sometimes during bct, but overall I don’t regret it. Definitely wasn’t for me and I came into everything with the wrong mindset, expectations, and extremely little information due to lack of effort/research. A part of me wants to reenlist after 6 months because I’m not barred from the military but I really don’t know. I know I will hate it but I want to prove I can do it because in all honesty it wasnt that bad to begin with and it gets way easier. It’s just that I really don’t want to be in the army

You won’t get a dishonorable if you just quit you will get a chapter 11 and have to wait 6 months before you re-enlist. so yeah they say you will be their over a year but in all reality the longest you stay is 3 months.

HEY BRO do you have a brother or cousin that was in 4-10 cav at colorado springs. I noticed that you looked a lot like my buddy ward from 4-10 and then i saw your name!

wait so if you fail physical training you just do it all over again?

I'm not trying to sound dumb with this question it's actually something I really want to know. I have depression and bipolar but I've been managing it well for the past 6 months. I'm 19 and I want to joing the army but I just didnt know if it was possible for me to get a waiver. Or am I automatically disqualified?

Hopefully you didnt go. The military lifestyle is not a place for depressed individuals. There will be enough depression for those who entered who werent already depressed. Basic is the worse place to find out you're depressed and need medication because you wont get any and you'll be stuck there in what's basically a prison for weeks or months

What kind of injury? Like broken bone? I’m not trying to get injured pursuing my MOS

Honestly my first time in basic I was injured and it sucked. You just gotta remind yourself why you joined, and have some confidence in yourself. I was split option and when asked if I wanted to come back I said yes even though I thought I didn’t. I’m glad I didn’t quit. I’m going back in a week and I’m excited but also nervous for what may happen. Just gotta push through it!

The whole idea of being held somewhere against your will without having committed any crime is very disturbing! Are the facilities like a maximum security prison?!?! Couldn't you just grab your stuff, walk out the gate and catch a bus home? Do you get arrested? Locked up in jail? I don't understand, especially if the person is suffering mental distress, holding them in that environment may push them over the brink, or at the very least cause PTSD which may affect them the rest of their life..

I highly doubt they will let you join if you have a mental illness or ptsd. Theres things that will disqualify you from joining thats what the meps process is for. To weed out those who have things that disqualify them cuz they want to make sure they are physically amd mentally prepared for basic.

You sign your constitutional rights away when you join and are now subscribed to the UCMJ uniform code of military justice. The UCMJ can and will hold you against your will, simply because people would walk away from combat zones or desert during wartime. Cant have that. You leave on your own will you're considered AWOL. You'll basically have an active warrant for pickup. Dont sign the dotted line if you dont want to do the time. Basic training is not army tryouts.

Embrace the suck.

So what if u quit after u graduate basic training???

Im home on “con- leave” for multiple stress fractures and my doctors suggest that I should try to get a medical discharge and then go back in 6 months. Which the physical therapists at the TMC at basic told me too but I wanted to go back faster unfortunately I didn’t know the extent of my injuries... so I was wondering if anyone knows how I go about getting medically discharged after returning from con- leave.

Never forget. The best way to not regret joining the military is to simply not join at all. Seriously. Don't do it. It's not worth your time. It's not worth the sacrifice. And it's not worth your freedom. Because if you do, ALL of it will be taken away. And not for any good reason. Don't do it.

BT was too easy back in 1995 when I was a DS at Fort Leonard Wood. I had a trainee that fractured his leg around week 4 and he still graduated on time because he did not QUIT. I had him do cardio with his battle buddy at the gym after training ended for the day. Quitters got put on KP.

I know I can't handle basic (I got a bad anxiety disorder, I get overwhelmed from things that I feel most people handle well, such as a long line or even sometimes a lot going on in one area at one time), so I just decide not to enlist in the first place.

So how can one avoid injury?

went through basic went to AIT. did another 4 months in AIT and hated every second. Decided it wasnt worth and didnt see it getting better after AIT. Told a mental health doctor i wanted out. I was on the beach in a 4 star hotel a week later.
