People who are in uniformed services (I’m a career firefighter) hate two things... 1. Change 2. The way things are. People are going to complain about this not being hard enough, it’s not how I did it, etc. that CSM made some interesting points about outcomes and I think they are worth thinking about.

As a trainee that went through BCT with the first 100 yards, I can say with confidence that I really do think it's better than the shark attack. The way we did it, we got off the bus and instantly, we started hearing gunfire and explosions in the distance, while our drill sargeants ran out from behind us and started screaming at us that we needed to move and get all the shit to the EVAC point. They also singled out trainees that just stood there panicking. It accomplished the same goal that the shark attack did of confusing us, exposing us to the stress of the environment and simulating a combat scenario where we had to focus and listen to orders under pressure, but unlike the shark attack, we actually got valuable training out of it, because we had to strategize and make a plan and work as a team to accomplish the mission in this insanely stressful situation that we just got dumped in. And just like the video stated, the drill sergeants did NOT go easy on us.

I came from a military family and knew what to expect. I would just brace and tune them out until they got tired of getting no reaction and moved on to the next recruit. The shark attack meant nothing to me, and taught me nothing. It was just an initiation rite and a waste of time, and the hardest part was refraining from rolling my eyes. Getting smoked was different - it was an earned consequence instead of useless noise-making, and I learned something each time I got smoked.

Watching this video, and listening to this Sergeant Major, I've concluded that "cancelling the 'Shark Attack'" is click-bait. The "Shark Attack" has changed forms and has become what the Navy might call a "training evolution." Also, from the five or so minutes of footage I've seen, it's another one of those things in Basic that represents what a Soldier might encounter in their operational career; having to rapidly move equipment, perhaps to set up a base somewhere or prepare an improvised casualty collection point. Instead of being screamed at holding a bag above their head, they're being screamed at carrying necessary equipment from point A to point B.

That's fine on the civilian end. But from a governmental standpoint, you want your training to be as focused on making soldiers as effective as they can be. There's no evidence that many aspects of basic training effectively carry over into combat or field situations, and the shark attack is a prime example. We somehow build a culture that says we want the best and most respect for our people in uniform, yet one of the biggest elements of training is psychologically humiliating them. While humility is a great point to start from, only using negative reinforcement has actually proven to be counterintuitive to effective behavior training overall. This is an area where our armed forced are stuck in the stone age due to all the "WELL I HAD TO DO IT" veteran crowd that can't get over their own pride.

Former paratrooper here, spent 12 years in the infantry, graduated Ranger and pathfinder, multiple tours. Having said that, I agree with the 1st 100 yards training objective. What was the main point of the shark attack? To instill fear and dominance. These young men and women are scared out of their minds on day 1, I still remember it. Now, they're introduced to team work, and are given a goal to achieve. There is still plenty of yelling, intimidation and smoke sessions for all to enjoy. Plus, that demo at the end? I know anyone that's been in longer than a day may not be impressed, but for these young people, that's the first time they're seeing it first hand, an example of what they might become, and more. There's inspiration in something like that. Everything doesn't always have to be 'old school' to be effective. Times are changing. Change can be good, if you let it.

Experienced this “shark attack” lasts about and hour and a half, and even then they are after the entire unit not just a single recruit. Simple, pay attention and do what you’re told it will be over before you know it. Then you’re into the regular and still challenging training routine. The recruits can take it, hundreds of thousands before them did.

I don’t think the motivation behind the decision was “can people take it”, it was “what is the goal” and apparently they think building initial trust is more important than shock therapy to weed out the losers. I’m not saying one is better than the other, I never served. I understand the decision though. Personally I think the old shock system is a better choice but I’m not running the army.

@@FirstnameLastname-mo6pu I think someone saw the irony of weeding out 'losers' in a draft era...it's a more of a "do you want your trainees to succeed or not?" So I'm all for this new change, it accounts for everyone coming in at differing levels of physical and mental readiness and provides more support for them with an end goal of working together and trusting each other. Even then, not everyone is made to be in the military. I won't call them 'losers'. It merely wasn't a match for them, it's like asking a bird to swim. It's not for everyone. Believe me, there's plenty of system shocks later on in training...as someone who's possibly shipping next year, I've done my best to read up on what I might be in for, and other changes made seem to make up for no Shark Attack.

Shark attack was basically useless when I went through in 2019. No one cares about the yelling and screaming they knew it was coming and they all signed up for it the drill sergeants are literally 24/7 yelling and screaming anyways so the drill sergeants hated it because it’s just a waste of time and they would tell us at the end it’s hard work yelling and screaming that much they would rather teach you how to be a real soldier who you want next to you in a gun fight and operate as a member of a team because the yelling and screaming will happen the entire 10 weeks and it did when you screw up and have to get smoked. So in my opinion it was totally useless and the drill sergeants fully agreed with that

To all those young volunteers I say to you: "God's speed and thank you for your service".

So put it simply: shark attack sucked them dry mentally in the past, the new “1st 100 miles” sucks them dry both mentally and physically!

You have to going in with that mindset that the drill sergeants aren't singling you out just to mess with you. They are trying to get you ready for what you might see in battle.

Ending the Shark Attack is the worst thing ever. It purposely induced stress on the trainees. It broke individuals down to be able to start building a team, team that could operate under highly stressful situations. It made you look deep within yourself to see if you could carry on with the mission of basic training or if you figured out that military service wasn’t for you. Quite frankly I’m glad to have gone through the shark attack; several kids decided that they couldn’t handle it & couldn’t adapt to the military lifestyle. I would rather that happen in the training environment than when down range & because they couldn’t handle cause my other teammates to get hurt or killed because he decided he needed to quit.

One of my drills told us after that, this is what combat will feel like when it happens. Crazy, confusion, and you're going to have to listen for orders and for your buddies that need your help. When those moments of confusion happen, I want you to stay focused, engage with the task at hand, and give your all. That's what will give you the best chance of surviving combat. I get the CSM's point, but as a combat arms vet, I'm not sure how I feel about the value of doing a mock supply run and some exertion versus trying to follow directions in the heat of confusion and starting to acclimate to that level of discomfort. Suffering is part of doing the job if you're training for combat, doubly so if you're downrange.

Well Said.

They are training a kinder, gentler force. Because what country needs a military that defeats it's enemies and commands the battlefield when you can have a military that sympathizes with everyone and uses your correct pronoun every time.

Ill translate this for you. Less people are enlisting and the military industrial complex is scared

Americans in general are also increasingly unfit for military service and most people who are doing the fighting aren't line troops, they're SOF. By making basic training the equivalent of wheanie hut jr, less of the nerd weak bodies will break when it was never necissary for them to have combat conditioning, and thier sole purpose is to program switches and do PME.

It's good less people are enlisting. This will mean fewer people will get sick and die from military innoculations. It also means fewer innocent Middle Eastern people will be blown up from army munitions.

So they switched the shark attack with a teacher saying where are my big strong boys to carry these boxes lmao

@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV. common sense dictates why the shark attack has been done and why it is necessary. If you can handle a psychopath dehumanizing you to nothing, the last thing you’re going to do when captured by enemy combatants is give up sensitive information regarding to your fellow troops.

I went thru USN Boot Camp in Orlando in 1975. If we weren't on the Grinder marching, doing rifle drills, or the O Course, getting yelled at, and the Black Flag was issued, we were back in the barracks, with the other Company's Commanders and Battalion Staff yelling and tearing racks apart and throwing clothes around for a hour. After squaring everything away, we did PT for another hour before chow. Seems like they had a timer running so they would know when to end it so we could get the compartment back to normal and then head to the Chow Hall. After days like that, we definitely chowed down, and could go back thru the line a 2nd time, and still get finished in 15m's. Then there was the award for those who skrewed up. It was called IT, or Intensive Training. There were "Litter Boxes" of sand out by the ladders going to the Compartments. Situps, Pushups, Squats, Jacks and 100yd Swim in the Litter Box. We had 2 people go to IT and after that 1 time, they, nor anyone else in the Company went to IT. Ahhh, the good ole days! Ok, I'll shut this Word Fit down for now. Regrets for Lack of Brevity.

My TI back in 09 was a hard ass scary dude but we all loved him. We were very upset when he had to leave half way through our training. He showed up to our graduation and proud to see him and show what he helps us become.

I remember how it weeded out 3 soldiers out of 300, they quit on the spot. However, it did place that “survivor” mentality. Every man for himself since mass punishment was coming regardless of who is at fault. I’m sure older vets can attest to the harsher punishment yet I still think BCT was a breeze. I do like how the first 100 yards establish leadership and cooperation which is more commonplace once the soldier is in their unit. “Surviving” isn’t really necessary in garrison. It’s just a fun tradition. Sad to see it go but hopefully this will improve the leadership amongst the Army ranks.

Please don't turn my Army into some soft, Boy Scout entity!! Nobody has ever died because of the Shark Attack!! Civilians need the shock and awe to break them from that goofy mentality, into a soldier's ability to follow orders under pressure. We are preparing for war not picnics!! SMH I took Basic at Ft. Benning, and it was amazing. Our Drill Sergeants were the best and prepared me to serve. War is tough and you need tough physical and mental training to survive it. If you can't take getting yelled at, you sure as hell won't be able to take getting shot at!!

War doesn’t care about your feelings, if your commander tells you to advance towards fire and death you need to be able to stay calm and control your fears. Shark-attacks are meant to teach you how to truly survive in a stressful situation, if we are to fight the Chinese or Russians we will regret changing this period!
