Army Behind the Scenes: Cadet Summer Training | U.S. Army 

Proud of these kids. Good luck to all your goals in life. ❤️🤗

The Marines Corps is more popular in my family, but Got huge respect for the Army. Any frontline active duty soldiers we got, have my gratitude and admiration.

That was me last year! Proud of all the cadets who are now MS4s and on their way to commissioning in less than a year. You've got this!

BEYOND THE STAR ⭐️

Good evening to everyone! Thank you very much for your services.

Go My Beautiful US Army!!!!😊😇🥰😍🤗❤🤍💙💪👍

I took an Army ROTC scholarship in the middle 1970s and dis five years active and 25 in the reserves. It helped me pay for college and the GI bill helped in graduate school. I am not past age 60 and am now "retired military." The extra $ helps but it is not enough to live off by itself. By the by: In 1976 ROTC summer camp they acted like repelling was a big deal. I never mentioned that I had done it all before off rock cliffs at Philmount Boy Scout camp at age 14. BFD.

Congrats! Good luck :)

I don’t think anyone of these ppl commenting on here understand the difference between a cadet, an officer, and enlisted 💀🤣🤣

Studying right now and I can’t wait to join

awww.....those little smiles will be turned upside down soon enough 🤣🤣

Bravo US army ..salam dari Indonesian navy

Amazing cadets - we will turn these folks into the best lean mean fighting machine.

Very nice post ! Thanks for sharing.

They went thru my basic training but the fun version. Wish I did that instead now

YEAHHH THATS MY BATTLE BUDDY KYLLEEE!! LT Andrade 🔜!! 19 and leading from the front!!

Got back from CST recently. Got voluntold to for my PLT to go up there as bus drivers to Trans the cadets around. I'm not exaggerating what I say because I experienced it along with my fellow squad mates, these cadets were extremely unprofessional in some instances. Anything from asking if the AC works or if the bus has music. I would say no It doesn't work and they would cough up the worst attitude about it. Or they would ask me if I had a CDL and I'd say no because we're all infantry MOS and they would get upset about that. Not only that but they also had no sense of urgency. They didn't know how to setup their rucks or even know how to get on the bus, we would have to help them. But most of the time they just had no idea what they were doing or where they were going. Worst experience in my entire military career by far and I hope I never have to go through that again.

Amazing video thanks for the insight. I'll be looking forward to these new ordeals

I had fun at CST 22. Can’t wait to commission!

Man I wish I could participate 😢

Now I kinda wish I had done rotc before basic, oh well...

We set new system

I believe in Holliday for all-star.....

Wow watching them train gives off rickets vibes sad🤕

US ARMY...... 👍👍👍.... POLICE INDONESIA.... JIMI

to any future cadet that gets there commission just bc you are a 2nd LT does not mean you know more then your PLT senior NCOs bc you dont

9th Reg bound! LFG!!!

Save the features of USA and the World

ROTC is one thing, but I've always wondered what kind of leadership instruction West Point's future Ring Knockers actually got. The ones I was exposed to must have internalized some class entitled "You Are The Next, Glorious Embodiment of General Patton". One "cadot" at our unit over our summer FTX tried to play the Patton role to a bunch of battle hardened Infantrymen, and one day, I got a front row seat to watch my Platoon Sergeant verbally light this kid up! It actually helped this kid's demeaner and he learned 'tis better to listen to your NCOs than to try and lord over them! 😅

CTO still haunts me even after a year

Awww so cute, good to see everybody having 'FUN' no pressure, no DS.... yup great... its like army summer camp.....😑

I hope these future officers get taught how to actually care about the people they lead, goes a long way

Какие нежные солдаты, прям боюсь боюсь 😱😜

I'm heading to basic real soon, But I can't tell if this is the future soldier program before basic lol.

We flying to gumybeer planet

ROTC are a bunch of Camp Fire Girls.

Rule number 1 of being a cadet: Do not throw a flash bang into another cadet's hoodie.

To improve old one

Welcome to the kinder, gentler, United States Military. Where are future officers all earned ribbons in their childhood, got pats on the head, and plenty of A’s for effort. God help us!!!! ☦️🇺🇸♥️

Allow me to give you a breakdown of the army. You go through basic training, which sucks, and lasts a long time. But you make it out alive (at least, some of you do), and suddenly you get that rush of excitement. You did it! With a smile on your face, you are shipped to your first duty station. You get there and, for the most part, are treated like shit just for existing (unless you are female, in which case you are treated like royalty). No big deal, it’s just hazing. They’ll probably have you do some embarrassing stuff and maybe jump you a few times. But it’s survivable. The first few months are like this. You’ll notice that the work day mostly consists of sitting around and waiting. Waiting for what? Well, my friends, that’s the mystery. Nobody knows what you are waiting for. You just wait. And you better wait in a hurry, too. After the first few months, you begin to visit the PX liquor aisles a little more frequently…nothing better than a nice swig of cheap vodka after a long day of waiting around and getting b*tched at by a depressed SSG. You’ll soon reach full blown alcoholic stage….this will last forever. Seriously, there will be no end. At some point, however, the alcohol alone will no longer do it for you. You’ll go to a barracks party one night, and notice people frequently visiting the bathroom. What could they be doing, you wonder? You eventually venture in yourself, and discover the fine white powder residue next to the sink. Hmm, you wonder, that couldn’t possibly be what I think it is. OH, BUT IT IS! Finally, now that you’ve proven yourself, you are offered to partake in the devil’s snow. You agree. Congrats, you will soon be hooked on the stuff. You’ll find that the barracks are FULL of fun treats that take you to distant worlds. Don’t worry about drug tests; usually the medics are in on it and will do you a solid. A year and a half in. Your legs hurt. Your back hurts. You’re always angry. You’ve married a stripper named Nevaeh, with Chinese characters running down her back. You only did it for the money, though. You are essentially stuck in this weird limbo for the next year or two, hating your life and rethinking every decision you’ve ever made. Your NCO’s want you to become an E-5, but you just don’t care enough to put in the effort. Finally, the time comes to make the decision. To re-enlist, or not to? You’ve decided you hate the army, but to be honest it’s really all you know. It has, in a way, become a comfortable prison cell. You just don’t FEEL like leaving. And your *open* relationship with Nevaeh is working just fine. You give her a little green every month, and you both just do what you want while enjoying the perks of living off base. You cave. You sign the dotted line, yet again. It’s over for you now. The army has you in its jaws. You go home that night and draw yourself a nice bath by filling the tub with every bottle of alcohol you can find. The rest of the tub is filled with your tears. You don’t remember passing out, but suddenly an alarm goes off. You look at your phone. 5 AM. Once again, it’s time for hell. You throw up once or twice, down a few naproxen, and put on those awful PTs. You realize that, for the next 3 years, this is all you’ll know.

👍🇺🇲🤝🙏

Is it me or is that Lieutenant wearing two different ranks? 🧐

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I attended an all male basic training in the 80’s. A few of my drills were Vietnam vets. There’s an awful lot of people here talking about how their silly co-Ed basic training was so hard and they actually have the audacity to criticize these guys. I can’t stop laughing. 😂

💕💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💕💕💕God bless USA!!! God bless Ukraine!!!

I served for 8 years in the army.. I saw a lot with these cadets...We all knew they were a bunch of immature kids who believed what they were doing was the real army..The majority had no idea what they were doing but believed they did..It was embarrassing watching them cheering for themselves on everything they did...they really were joke....an embarrassing joke to all

UA cadets a going in US already ?

How do I go to my Grandpa's stories, to this? So sad

Hello from Ukraine

Is there any way you guys could all Social media, especially for you have no hope for their features or want and rather join gangster or drugs cartels or up to no good, so you guys could guiding to a better features and be use full to their Country and services they Country to see how fun, good, hopeful, wonderful features, experiences, great College or University, healthy, travelling and many other positive things. So you guys could save them from making negative, bad choice and less youth to lost and to prevent more violence, terrorists problems and drugs abusing.

My name is Carlos, I'm passionate about the American army, I live in Brazil, I want to move to the USA, to study and try to enter the American army, which I served a lot, but I don't know how I can get into this one in the American Beloved Forces. favor?

ROTC cadets become some of the worst LTs I've ever seen lol. Go through basic training, get a skill, then go through ROTC.

This is by no means the "real military". Enlisted and going to basic training and experiencing drill sergeants is how you should enter if you want the military experience. Officers should never have been allowed to become commissioned officers by going to college. It should only be picking from the enlisted ranks who have gained alot of experience.
