No footage of Area J? C'mon man... Should have had some Lt shooting an azimuth with his rifle tucked under his arm and pointing with a free knife hand and a crashed smoking Blackhawk in the background. RIP 141. Those BDU days were the best. I wonder whatever became of the Vomit Comet. I hear Hay st isn't recognizable anymore. Hard to believe the WOKE fuck's changed the name to Ft Liberty. Sounds gaf
I was there that day you can see the back of my head at 2:38. That was a Fun day we were actually later mock attacking at full speed and the short guy at 1:26 was nicknamed “Alabama” and he got the E tool stuck in his head standing straight up in the air walked up to the drill Sgt. Like forest gump accent “ drill Sgt. I got an e tool stuck in my head”and had to go to medical. The drill Sgt said “ private, how the fuck did you get an e tool stuck in your head. No one could stop laughing.
There was a similar PR video when I was there 94-97 that ended with General Sullivan addressing us after Operation U Turn (Haiti), and closed with Firehouse's "Reach for the Sky" song.
So sad the army abandon this. Yes in the Middle East Hand to hand combat is not common at all, but it still happens. Plus if we ever go to war with another nation we very well may need to fix bayonets
This was deltal company 3rd battalion 47th infantry div. Out of 4 platoons it focused on 3rd platoon or "wolverines". Many of my friends are in this. I hate it miss labled but i don't give ebough of a fuck to claim he's lying. Hell, he may legitimately believe this is his crew but i can prove otherwise. No worries though.
Would the instructor be pissed off if while on the course you used the barbwire cutting tool and just walk right past the barbed wire obstacle? I mean you'd technically be using the bayonet correctly.
I did this back in the 80s we didn’t go that slow and no yelling it was certain types of attacks for each target you’d come upon and it was exhausting there was reports of troops slipping and stabbing themselves aka drop m16 in middle of trench jump and running themselves through
