First Day of Basic Training #army #drillsergeant #basictraining

[dudety]

That moment of terror as you begin to speak when no one else is. You did a good job of covering that up fast before you got smoked!

[jusnuts]

When the Drill Sgt. says, "Do push ups until I get tired!"...
You know you're gonna be there a while!

[bigmemebarney]

I got smoked because I mentioned you as the “cool drill sergeant” in my notebook in this cycle

[TylorLahti]

They’re lucky. My platoon always got hit with the “MIDDLE!-HOOOLD!…..UP!”

[bobbyricigliano]

There is a secret about how to avoid getting smoked in BCT: You can’t. It happens every day, and it is a good day if it only happens once. The worst smoke session is the one they tell you about in the morning that is being saved for the end of the day. The whole day goes by and you hope they have forgotten about it, but they never forget about it.

Nothing but complete respect and honour for the young bloods and soldiers prior, i am not the strongest yet but i want to follow and train just line these very powerful brothers in arms

[dirtygruntz]

just got out of basic at Benning and phew that first day was a nightmare haha. All happy memories now

[Mike-oqrg]

My fat ass definitely heard "one chocolate chip, " the first time.

If you ever have to go close quarters with the enemy, you’ll thank that drill sergeant!

[tonmikecarn]

As a Vet I can say honestly. DO ALL THE D.I. says. They have had Combat skills tested and now passing to you.Your servile for You and your platoon.May depend on how well you and, they listened and trained. HOORAH

Nah when we got off the bus we were already being smoked because we failed to grab our duffels in a timely and efficient manner; and some of us still had them on their back 😭😂 great times

[noobpowerXD]

Dude got that “fuck there is a camera on me” movement

[scottfillingane]

Embrace the suck, know that it is making you a better soldier, and keep up the good fight. Thank you for your service.

I'm currently preparing for my basic training it's gonna be a challenge but I have faith

[golfery]

As much as this shit sucked, I can look back at it with fond memories. Pure bullshit but some of the things we got smoked over were funny when looking back. Like one time my whole company got smoked for something like 20 or so minutes on our second to last Sunday because one guy reported his laundry bag missing. Then when it was found out that he simply misplaced it, the drill sergeants still kept smoking the company just for the heck of it. basic was the funnest time of my life that I never want to do again. I have fonder memories of basic than I do for AIT.

Someday the VA will tell him his PTSD and anxiety aren't service related

[SnowMeat]

Guys I’m excited more than scared, going on April 1st. I feel like it’ll be a blast being there also my MOS is CBRN. I wanted carpentry & masonry but we’ll see how it goes

Update: wassup y’all im back from basic and AIT and I have to say it was one of the best moments of my life. I had my ups and downs but overall it was a blast!😆

[bee-ynfs]

Basic has its ups and downs for sure ❤❤

[AndrewA]

he got to wear the rank. i remember we was all fuzzies until graduation

[jasonsworld]

This is calm lol. My basic was complete chaos for the first of 3 parts. Drill Sargeant Disney was a fuckin madman.
