Basic Combat Training | Boot Camp | U.S. Army

United States Army Basic Combat Training (BCT) is the rigorous initial training program for recruits joining the U.S. Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard. Some attend One Station Unit Training (OSUT), combining BCT and advanced individual training (AIT) in a 22-week program, mainly at Fort Moore, Georgia, for infantry. Other career paths undergo BCT at various locations like Fort Jackson, Fort Sill, or Fort Leonard Wood, with AIT tailored to their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). AIT can last from 4 weeks to 7 months, including specialized training like language courses. Throughout, recruits face demanding physical and mental challenges, adhering to strict schedules and rules.

I promise you that this video is strictly just trying to appeal to the public. They still yell and smoke trainees.

As someone who went to BCT last year, they still yell and smoke the fuck out of you unhingedly, is it bad? of course not, best thing that happened to me, helped me come out of my shell and become confident as I went from a sheltered home to a stressed induced environment. Stay strong brothers, and those who wish to join, your drills are there to break you, but to make you, don't take it personal, because once those 10 weeks are done, you'll be someone you never thought you would become.

33 years of age. I’ve lost 50lbs to get enlisted. I’ll be shipping out for Basic Training September 30th, very soon. I’m very excited, but nervous as well. I’m doing this for myself, as well as for my family.

I commend all who joined, past and present. I joined in 97 and retired in 18. 3 combat tours to Iraq. I can't begin to tell you the friends and connections I have made over the years. Yes, this is all for the camera, but what these soldiers volunteer to give to their country speaks volumes. Joining was the best decision I ever made because you become a part of something bigger than yourself. You learn skills that will stay with you for these rest of your life. I use more skills today in my daily life that I learned here than what I learned in high school. Communication, teamwork, discipline, comradery, understanding, sleep deprivation, food rationing and leadership skills. I was/am an American Soldier.

I loved basic training, I worked out before, push ups, sit ups, running... I got a back pack with some books and run. I had a job before I joined so had some discipline. I always went camping, Forest exploring. Basic was tough, yes, but you will look back at it your whole life... will be the best time you ever had. At 80 you will dream to go to basic training again.

i just want to say a big "Thank You" for joining our military. you have become part of my extended family of brother and sisters in arms. being a professional soldier is one of the best decisions i've ever made in my life. as a retired SFC, i pass the torch to our new generation of warriors in these troubled times. God bless and i hope you all have a lengthy career in our armed forces. 40 Rounds!

I went in 2015 I get it, things change and people will always say "I Had it harder" just respect that they are willing to go through with it.

[fedupamerican]

Ft Leonard Wood Delta 1-13, 87' to 90' ...I was a 77F Petroleum Supply Specialist. I wasn't no Ranger or Special Forces, but damn proud to serve my country honorably. US Army ...best damn decision I ever made.

[edwinisvoid]

My son will go for basic training on November and some people might say I'm torturing myself watching this videos... Maybe, but I know he will come back stronger mentally and physically and he's my pride and joy for making a life changing decision. Proud Army mom!!! 🎉🎉

[모닝커피_XD]

Thank you to the soldiers who gave their service to our country and sacrificed a piece of themselves for us.

[Iris_]

I was here for 22 weeks for arms program and BCT. I was here while they filmed this stuff, idk why the drills actin so calm but they definitely are way rougher. A lot of yelling and smoking happen

[gmctano]

Many of us dont understand the life of being a soldier. First of all. From civilian to military life and they are far from their family just like past wars WW2 Korean War Vietnam War and Gulf War and many of them didnt return alive or wounded or traumatized in combat and these soldiers are ready to sacrifies their lives for the country and for the people from domestic to foreign enemy and dont forget what they sacrifice for us. Thank you for your service!

[towerschristianmotivation]

This is the calmest I've ever seen a drill sergeant.

[brian_m]

[adrirdz]

33 here and a mom of two. Been losing weight so I can meet weight. I’m super excited and nervous at the same time. This is something I’ve been wanting to do as a kid.

[Garfpotato]

Glad there's young people who care about their country enough to write the big check 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[buckeyecolt]

I remember when I went through basic summer of 2017. I got medically disabled spring 2020. My best piece of advice for basic is go in already in shape. I will tell people this forever. It helps a lot

[esther]
