Fort Knox 19D Cavalry Scout OSUT Basic Training 

90s uniforms were the best BDUs ever. Man... memories... "Drink waterrr! Beat the heat, Drill Sergeant, beat the Heat!" "Warriors in the house!"

Agony Misery Heartbreak you will never forget.

Those scouts are the best soldiers in the Army! I was lucky enough to be a medic for some of em!

I remember all those reception buildings. Now most of them are gone. And the infamous hills...Agony, Misery, and Heartbreak.

Went to Basic Training here at Ft Knox right before Desert Storm; Jan 23, 1991 through March 23, 1991. Was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. Went on to Ft Sam for Combat Medic Training and Ascertained a Physical Fitness Excellence Award. Only patch you could put on your PT Uniform. I will always remember that brief time in my life. I came out of there ready to conquer the world. Thank you Ft. Knox and to all who served there.

When I was being issued my uniform the lady said "Better you then my child". Now looking back she was right, I do have a better life now then probably her child. I never forget those that lost there life for us brothers and sisters in the Arms Race.

I did my basic training at Fort Knox in January to April 2006, but it wasn't OST. Then I went to Fort Rucker for AIT - 15Y. :) The hills Heartbreak and Misery I remember really well.

Man, this place was tough for me back in 2001. I was there from February to October. Got recycled twice because of my feet, but didn’t give up. Drink water drive on, Scouts Out!

I was there in 1987 OSUT for 19E. The best was on certain Fridays during the AIT portion the DS that pulled duty would let us order Dominos Pizza. They used to charge us 2 dollars more for a pizza and the DS would get a free pizza and a pile of singles. Ohhhh the memories…

I was so proud wear the uniform after the tough training in Knox. 2003

Man that brings back a lot of memories like agony and misery Delta 6 C 1/1980

In 1990 from Sept thru Jan l was in the Disney Barracks. A company 5-15. Had drill SSGT Dedeke & Drill SFC Bell running my platoon. Well over 30 yrs ago. Man time flies.

They must have had trouble editing this. They cut out all the screaming. They must have had to throw out 98% of their footage.

Graduated August 1990 A 2/46 !!! Agony, Misery and Heart break will always be remembered!!!

I still have my gold phase earplug case, graduated osut in 2000

Was here in 1978, even got a signed letter from the Sec. of State for top score on the combat skills course, good times!

Ugh...is that damn tree still near the exist at the CS Gas Shack? I can't imagine how many people crashed into that damn thing rushing to get out.

I wasn't Cav but was at Ft Knox in C-4-1 Sept 7- Dec 16 1982. If I remember correctly, we were the last class to go through M60A1 training before it switched to A3 training.

I remember Agony and Misery well. 19-D 1984

Thats the same boot lady that gave me mu boots in the 2000's!

they loan you an initial payment that they then deduct from your paycheck, so you can buy all the toiletries you brought with you and were made to throw out...lol..

I'm from Allentown pa. Echo Troop 5/15 1992. 2nd platoon 2nd to none.

Very exciting time. Then the trip to Louisville after basic. A godless seedy town perfect for a teenager with a couple hundred bucks.

5/15 cav A troop, 2000. Then onto Schweinfurt Germany (Ledward Barracks) with one tour in Kosovo (Camp Bondsteel). This video brought back some good memories.

November 1998, C Troop, 5-15 CAV... DS Van Hecke was the meanest, toughest and the best drill sergeant I ever had. He is the reason I made MSG in 16 years 👍👍

Attended Basic Training there in June 28th 1979 . I was the flag Bearer during PT. That’s one Helluva job. Scouts Out.

October 1983 - Ft Knox, KY. 19D scout training… best days of my life! Scouts out!

I was there in basic, winter of 1992. I seem to remember a whole lot more yelling. They really dialed it back for the cameras. Please let the men in this video know they are now due for a colonoscopy. Ha! I feel old...

E Troop 5th cavalry. 4th plt sgt Huggins was my drill sgt. Graduate d may 11,, 83. Soldier of the cycle. Patton award. Anyone remember the hills, heartbreak, agony, and misery.

1984 Disney barracks CAV SCOUT

Thank you so much for posting this! Such glorious memories from here! I saw myself, my brothers and DS's a few times in this video. Looking back on it, as a stupid kids, didn't realize at the time there was a reason for everything we did, learned that much later but at the time the pressure, stress & attention to detail was extreme, but I'm grateful for it and re-live many of the moments in my head even now seeing this footage and I'm just howling (laughing) excitedly.

B-5-15 JAN-MAY. Cold AF lol. Recognized one of the Drill Sergeants. As already mentioned this was dialed WAY down for the video. Cool seeing everything though. It was in the winter while I was there and it seemed like there was no color. Interesting seeing it in the summer. Shouldn’t have moved it down to Fort Moore with the Infantry. SCOUTS-OUT!

Basic Training @ Ft. KNOX 1967. WE were called Fuc* heads. Learned a lot about people. The drill Sargeant put rocks in recruits pockets. To the ones that didn’t know left from right. Their legs woul be bloody by the end of the day. But They knew!!!!😂

Agony misery C-18-4 January 1982

I just watched this now, so funny. So good. I remember my first BT really well. September 1986, Ft. Sill OK,. Reception was EPIC. I remember the Mess Hall was the best I've eaten at before or since. They were cooking steaks-to-order on the flat-top every meal. I didn't have the nuts to grab one day one, second day I asked if I could. They said "Sure, how do you want that cooked?", I couldn't believe it. So I had a medium-rare NY strip and fries for dinner. After that, I was shining my boots and being generally happy that we were basically done for the day. I figured I should do some push-ups or something... because really we hadn't done shit that day. Guys were still coming in for our BT class, of course I didn't know shit. I was thinking if this is really what the Army is like, I'm re-enlisting for 20!

June 2000 - 1st Platoon Iron Brigade! Lead the rest!

I was19D OSUT there Nov. '84-'Mar. '85, C-6C-1. Don't know who the other Drills are but SFC Moore, the black DS shown during the D&C portion with the M-16s, was my Senior Drill Sergeant.

Was there September 2000 to January 2001.

I am curious why the narrator refers to the Cavalry as the "CALVARY"? E.g. "A young CALVARY captain named George Patton".

We wore turtel shell helmets back then. I loved the cadence drills. I cryied the first night but wenn it was over i was glad i made the choice. It's worth all the gold stored at FORT KNOX😊
