Hi welcome back to the channel just me Stephen today and I'm here to answer the
question what is basic training really like I could give you tons of one-word
answers saying it's challenging it's difficult it's frustrating but it's
enlightening and it's exciting but I really want to get into the meat and
potatoes of the subject so speaking of mean potatoes food is
something that most people are very curious about now the food in basic
training you may have heard is met personally I enjoy many of my meals not
all of them but many of them and it always meant at least 10 minutes in
which I was sitting down and eating instead of standing at attention
marching running doing some other exercise or whatever it was rest and the
food honestly most of it wasn't bad at all and other food that you might eat in
basic training are MREs which you might have heard of meals ready-to-eat become
prepackaged they come with warming bag of a warming
chemical you add water and it heats up your food for you and you can use that
or not and all the food is still technically edible whether or not you
warm it up there's even candy in some of them and
depending on your drill sergeants you can or cannot eat the candy inside your
MREs now MREs some of them you might not like I like most of them with the
exception of just a few also something else to know about food and eating and
basic training is when you do go to the to the mess hall or like a cafeteria you
have to stand in line and not only do you have to stand in line but you do
have to hold your tray up in front of you typically this was my experience
you hold your Tramp in front of you and you have to sidestep everywhere you go
keeping your feet together and apart together apart always and you have to do
facing movements like an about-face which is very specific
you make to turn to make a 180-degree turn aside from that you're gonna have
drill sergeants shouting at you in the food lines to make sure you're doing
ever getting your food and the the prescribed ways and if you spill food
then they'll shout at you if whatever if you do so doing something wrong or
something that they prescribed as being wrong then they will shout at you about
it it's one of the drill sergeants most enjoyable times if you're a drill
sergeant it seems as though that's what you enjoy the most is shouting at
privates in the food line and as a private your first couple days it'll
probably your most stressful although you might find it entertaining although
don't laugh in front of the drill sergeants time limit when you're eating
there's always going to be a time limit especially at the very beginning no
matter if you're sitting on the ground eating an MRE or sitting in the mess
hall sitting at a table eating eating the the food provided be there there's
always a time limit you have to eat your food quickly so you can you know eat
your food quickly and get out so keep that in mind also the next thing aside
from food something that we are likely going to be curious about is your sleep
now sleeping is done in a bay a bay is a very large Hall which fict
about 60 beds and beds are going to be on bunk beds so you know bottom bunk top
and so there's 60 beds total lining the walls and in one Bay you're only going
to have members of the same sex so you're not gonna have co-ed bays all
right so if you're a male you will be sleeping in a bay with sixty other males
if you're a female you're gonna be in a bay with sixty other females your basic
training might have a smaller number of females and that's more common it's more
common to have a large amount of males and roughly half as many females that
all depends on where you're going to basic training and just
the season so you never know but it's typically a smaller number of females
but regardless you're gonna be in a bay full of members of the same sex as you
and you will not cannot ever go into a bay other than the one you sleep in
unless directly told by your drill sergeant and typically you're only going
to be going into your Bay when the drill sergeant gives you permission to do so
everything you do is done with the permission of your drill sergeant so
it's not too complicated but do not do not do not ever enter the bay of the
opposite sex unless your drill sergeant directly tells you to do so and they're
going to have a specific purpose and you'll likely have a battle buddy with
you or a soldier of the same sex as you to go with you to accomplish whatever
task the drill sergeant told you to do moving on your sleep is going to take
place usually between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. that might fluctuate depending on
your specific unit you know who your drill sergeants are who the the
commander of your company is and they might have different rules different
sleep schedules and also depending on what training you're going to be doing
that day or what training you did that in Prior it might change when you go to
sleep that night and when you wake up you might have a road March that starts
at 4:00 a.m. so you wouldn't need to wake up at you know 2:30 3 o'clock in
the morning so moving on that's that's what your sleep is going to be like Oh
also when you're asleep in your in your BAE do not talk you're only look how
you're a g-way during sleeping hours you are to be laying in your bed it's quiet
you don't have to be asleep but as long as you're in the bed and you're quiet
you don't even have to be under the covers if you don't want to be but you
do have to be in your bed and quiet and you have to be in the uniform that was
prescribed by your drill sergeants I know that you they will be getting that
you are given some warm weathers are some cold-weather
gear like some thermals unless the drill sergeants give you permission to wear
those in the bay you are not allowed to wear thermals in the in your bed you
have a specific sleep uniform Oh everything is very regulated is he if
you haven't noticed so far now also during the sleep hours you may be
assigned at duty one Duty is called fire guard which is you and a battle buddy
you and another soldier who also sleep in that Bay it's your job to be awake
for one hour at least to be staying be awake in the bay making sure that
everything is going fine you'll typically be doing some cleaning and
there's there's gonna be a book in the bay saying what you should be doing at
what hours of the night it's all given all the instructions are given to you
another god another ship that'll be given to you is CQ or charge of quarters
in which you will be you in a battle buddy we'll go down to where or go
wherever the drill sergeant is who's also on that shift and they'll give you
instructions on what to do for that hour and cleaning doing some odd jobs
whatever it needs to be done you might just be told to sit in the
chair and wait for the hour to be over and then you go back up you go back to
your to your Bay and you go to sleep and then another is weapons guard there is
going to be times where there will be weapons out and those weapons will be
need to be cleaned or they will just be sitting out and they need soldiers to be
standing by them guarding them that's just a rule if there's weapons that are
not locked away there needs to be soldiers guarding the middle times so
that's another ship that you could have in the middle of the night so there may
be more but these are the ones that I experienced when I was in basic training
so moving on from sleep your safety you might be concerned about your safety
your family might be concerned about 50 after all you are training to be a
soldier a warrior you are trained to use weapons you're trained to use weapons to
kill people now this means there is some safety risk
you were also going to be to going through obstacle courses you're going to
be jumping you're going to be crawling under things you're going to be you're
going to be out in the woods during some of these times you're sleeping in the
woods as well as you are going to be at the obstacle courses you'd be
experiencing you know Heights so you're going to be up high in some
circumstances so you'll have to face a fear of heights if you have it so there
are some safety risks keep in mind your drill sergeants have been trained on how
to mitigate any risks in these situations they know the typical
problems that soldiers encounter when coming into these environments and they
know how to avoid risks and they know how to act quickly whenever a problem
occurs so your drill sergeants are well trained and they can keep you safe but
your best bet is to always always always follow their instructions especially in
matters of safety that is that's your safety now something that everybody is
likely concerned with is money now you already know your your recruiters gonna
tell you what rank you're gonna be when you join what your pay is gonna look
like when you join but when you first get in your first month you're you're
your first paycheck when you join the army they're going to use that money
from that paycheck to pay for your gear your buta forms your wet your water your
rain jackets your warm weather your warm jackets your fleece they're like your
fleece lining and stuff like all sorts of things gloves your your PT or
physical training uniforms everything that you need as a
soldier will be given to you in basic training and it will be paid for out of
your first paycheck on top of that any other things that you need to purchase
while you're in basic training they will they will give you a what's what they
call an eagle's star card or that's what they called it when I was there and on
that is $300 that $300 comes from your own paycheck so they're giving you $300
of your own pay to use while you were in basic training and those $300 are the
only money that you can use with the exception of the $50 you're permitted to
bring with you so you might have you may have learned that you're allowed to
bring up to $50 to basic training so you can use that and you can use the $300 on
the Ecostar card which is like a like a like a gift card so you can use that to
pay for anything you need you're going to be buying things like wet wipes
possibly cough drops deodorant soaps all sorts of things so while you're in basic
training so now communication you're going to be concerned about
communication likely since you want to be talking to your loved ones there may
be and I emphasize on May because it's only a possibility that you're there may
be a possibility that your drill sergeants will allow you to use your
cell phone while you're in basic training so it's best just to bring it
with you and the worst that can happen they'll take it they'll put it in a
ziploc bag with a three by five card with your name and information written
on it and they'll store it with everybody else's phones and everybody
else's phones will be the same thing as if walk back with their name and when it
comes time where they will permit you to use your cell phone which typically
happens at the end of each phase so you have three phases in basic training red
phase white phase blue phase and then I suppose you can say the last week is red
white blue phase so at the end of each one when you accomplish whatever
drill sergeants ask you to do they may they may deem it worthy for you to use
your cell phone to call home see talk to your family they might give you a couple
minutes they might give you five minutes I heard of soldiers having up to thirty
minutes to an hour to be calling loved ones who knows I had a couple minutes
each time so it wasn't fantastic but yeah I wasn't guaranteed the ability to
use a phone anyway so those few minutes were better than I thought I would get
but something you can do and you can do roughly as much as you want with
whatever freeze on your given is write letters and I encourage you to do so
right home right your loved ones let them know you're doing fine in a letter
because you never know if you're going to get the chance to to call them so
write them a letter and let them know that you're doing how you're doing okay
so these are some of the more important things that you might be curious about
and I encourage you one thing one last thing that I encourage you to do we'll
go into basic training is to be committed be committed to yourself be
committed to the promise you've made when going into basic training when you
raise your right hand and you you swore or affirmed that you would uphold the
Constitution and everything else be committed to that you made a promise so
be committed to it everyone and I mean everyone who has a physically healthy
body and a physically healthy mind can go through basic training
everybody can graduate basic training who is healthy thank you very much for
watching please like this video subscribe to the channel comments your
questions whatever information you think other people ought to know about basic
training and again thank you so much for watching have a good day
