Army Boot Camp This is How It Is 1963 US Army The Big Picture TV 553 

I’ll never forget the smell of those brand new fatigues. We had the ball cap in 65. Fort Jackson living in tent city, May till July.

Ah, 1963, the year before Army Drill Sergeants replaced Platoon Sergeants as builders of new soldiers.

Entered in Aug 1968. Pretty much the same.

Dec 1965 and January 1966 Fort Dix IT WAS COLD

One problem is how the ARMY went from E-8s as PLT SERGEANTs/ DRILL SERGEANTS to E-5/E-6 DRILL SGTs, such a huge drop in Experience and Respect for what they earned !!

That's back when the Army wore those olive green uniforms with mix-matching name tags. They wore their uniforms super starched.

No United States Military Veteran should have student loan debt. 100 PERCENT forgiveness Congress, Department of Education. Let's do the right thing. Can us Veterans finally get some relief!

I still wish we wore these uniforms and the ball caps in 65

Damn that’s a lotta starch in them greens…lol

1964 Knox for me, A 10 3.

E-8 platoon sergeants? We had E-6 and E-7 platoon leaders.

1974, Fort Knox, B-16-4

Where was this filmed?

How the fuck did we go from this to this lousy (current) generation?

Much of this men dead in Vietnam this year. ¿Don't they?
