Many of my friends snickered at me when I joined the Army. But I fared better than over 85% of them. The skills you learn there will last a lifetime. That Discipline you learn carries over. When I got to college at 22, I had no problems pushing thru, studying and even working a full-time job. And not having to worry about tuition was a nice plus. I feel proud to have served my country. Nobody can take that away from me.

I just finished my basic training at Fort Jackson, I definitely thought it was the worst thing ever when I was going through it all but you don’t realize the brotherhood and fun you just had for 10 weeks! I’m currently at AIT to become a 91B

Went through BCT & AIT (OSUT) @ Ft Knox in May 1988. I told myself just do an initial 4 years & get out! I ended up spending over 22 years in the Army. Training is always tough physically & mentally but the pride you develope, sense of accomplishment & camaraderie will last a lifetime. Every young man or woman should serve their country, don't be afraid! The Army is a great place to do great things. You have to make the best of each day & strive to do your best in everything you do!!

Pro tips:
1. Physically train before hand. (Some people went into basic that had never ran a mile or ever did a pushup and it was brutal for them to get fit during all that stress)
2. Choose an MOS that equates to a good civilian job. (Guts and glory are one thing, but its not fun to leave the military and end up rotating tires because you have no transferable skills)
3. Study and prepare for the ASVAB. (Better score, more options)
4. If still possible, earn rank before getting in. When I was in you could do a variety of things to rank up. Some went in as a PFC, specialist, or corporal. (More pay and faster promotions.)

I did. that in 1982 at Fort Knox Kentucky and am now retired from the United States Army, Army National Guard and the United States Postal Service. The U.S. Army gives soldiers a rewarding career path while in the Army and one after leaving or retiring from the military should a person choose to continue to work depending upon the length of their time in service upon retirement. ARMY STRONG! BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE!

Mind boggling that they can be ready to move on in only 10 weeks. Thank you to all who do this work.

Amazing how things have changed. I still remember my 1st day of basic in August 1998 when I was at Ft. Sill. Amazing how fast 25 years have gone. I still miss the Army every day. Truly the best and easiest job in there is.

Completed my basic training in Fort Leonard wood back in July. It definitely changed my life and I learn to be more grateful, humble and do the right thing when no one is watching. Right place, right time and right uniform. You might love or hate your experience but I guarantee you, you won’t regret it. C-rock.

I just completed basic training here in Fort Leonardwood, MO, definitely learn the Soldier's Creed, Army Song, and follow what the drill sergeants tells you to do. Doing anything stupid can get your whole platoon or company smoked! It may be long, but it'll be over before you know it!

It’s been awhile since October 1968 when we arrived by bus to Ft. Bragg for BCT….and yet, I survived and here I am.
God Bless our Men and Women in uniform.

OSUT at Ft. Leonard Wood in 1982 as a 12B Combat Engineer- I had Drill Sergeants who were Viet Nam vets and I am glad for that- they prepared me for my 25-year-plus career in the Army, which included some serious assignments.

Pretty awesome video. I was in Fort Sill Oklahoma for my basic training in 1995. Did 20 years I got out in 2015. It's fascinating to see what's changed since then.

As someone who just trained under Senior DS Minnear no less than 2 months ago, I can confirms he is one of the best influences I've ever had in my life.

Yes he's hard on you, yes he will yell if you do something wrong, and he will probably do a german suplex if you do something stupid, but he is respectful, wise, and above all else he cares deep down about every single Trainee that walks off that bus and every patch he places on his soldiers.

Edit: One of my favorite quotes I'll always remember from Minnear is "YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING!!!!
Always screamed that anytime he saw someone taking their sweet ass time getting from place to place lol
