SPENDING $18,000 on FAKE Military Basic Training 

Hope I’m early enough to ask what are the requirements to be an employer partnered with SOAA? Everytime I trying to find the website on my own it pops up completely unrelated information.

when did you turn into a sitter, I've never seen you sitting down in any videos. everything alright?

You know the real reason why people listen to drill?….its bc the us government owns that ass and the drill is the one being forced to take ownership over the noob so ya you can’t really ignore drill when you’re literally currently property of the US government as soon as you signed your paperwork.

You know the real reason why they have to listen to drill?….its bc they signed a contract and they are now property of the US government.

Do you think there is a way to put civilians through a boot camp like program that would be beneficial say as a qualification for a scholarship or perhaps a training program before going to college or just setting out in the workforce?

LMFAO 😂😂

Bro, this is unity. lol

LMAO the way I actually screeched loudly cracking up at this, you win bro, you win!

Fucking goddammit, take the no prize, you earned it.

🤣🤣🤣

You can literally get paid to go do this lol

Fr

Shit, join the guard or reserves, one weekend a month and 2 weeks a year and they pay you.

Still have to pay for the Uniforms though, at least they do feed you.

Even an E1 makes over 20k a year and they'll get actual training.

Shit, I loved it so much…I did it 3 times: Air Force BMT Army BCT OCS Apparently, I’m a glutton for punishment. But, hey, I got paid!💵💵💵

So I just got back from BCT and there was a guy in my group who asked how far to throw the training grenade. DI said ,"get it over the wall." Dude threw it like 10 feet away 😂 we all hit the deck, it exploded and we sit up. DI hits him upside the head and calmly says, "next time throw it into the next state, son." 😂

Once you learn it is a game, it is nothing but hot air and you just play.

"Lead by example" exact definition! :)

It’s really just playing. These guys are most like trust fund babies that when to Ivy League schools and are now office alphas and want to prove they are hard but we’re never brave and/or poor enough to enlist. And like he said, the guy’s running this got out, made money, and now miss that environment and found a way to relive it. If they really felt it important to better their fellow men, this program would be a hundred or two bucks to cover cost and pay for that time.

Plus , I lose respect for any “man” who uses the word “literally”, especially when it’s not literally.

@yourlifeisagreatstory lets be honest, its guys with trucks looking for other ways to compensate

Its hard at times when you hear a dude say those things. We had a few of these tough guys that thought they were going to intimidate or tell a DI whats up. There were 2 I saw that talked that way. 2 days after pickup they refused to train, and actually murmured f you to a DI. Whole place went quiet instantly. Goes let me go get the senior, just so you can tell him. Dude rolls out enraged, and starts losing it. You disrespected Marines and my DI's? Had us all sit in a circle around them. Show time, the company commander and a dozen mp's arrive. They bounced these aholes off everything on the way out. The officer then addressed all of us. You asked to be here, trust us we know what we are doing creating Marines, we've been doing it for over a century. But this isnt for everyone. You want out, come with me now and you'll get a general discharge, which is like you were never here for your future. Disrespect another Marine, DI, or civilian on this installation and I will make sure you get a dishonorable discharge that will haunt you the rest of your life. Still one of the coolest speeches I've ever seen.

Holy shit... those dudes really are a dime a dozen, aren't they?

oh I hear that last over and over again. Another thing I hear all the time is "oh I was a Marine" and then find out they were kicked out in boot camp😂 I mean....I guess edit - I was not in the Marines, just to be clear. I was Air Force. That's why it always gets brought up. They'll find out I was AF and then want to start in with the "I was a Marine" stuff. And it's typically in a way that's like "oh well you were AF, that's cute....I was a Marine." Which is totally acceptable....if you actually were and didn't get kicked out after 3 weeks because you couldn't handle it.

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂"I almost joined and I punch a drill sergeant" 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡

my favorite comment

bro... you could do a full scale training course at the absolute highest level doing tactical combatives in a real kill house with live ammo for a whole year for 18 grand...

Agreed, the benefit of military basic training is committing to something difficult and following through to achieve a tangible result . Condensing it down to a 3day McBasic illuminates everything wrong with modern corporate culture.

@@Jimothy-723 my local 3 gun shooting club has at least 1/2 the training and all the facilities and courses and kill house for 600 dollars a year. At least i think they built their shoothouse by now.

@@ViktoriousDead affirm. I was glad to see no PJs/JTACs/CCs on their "elite team"....

They are the way they are, because they need to train you to be a Marine. I went through it in 1999. Once you've earned that title, they will treat as one of them. No matter what rank you end up as, you will always be a Marine. Esprit de corps is definitely something that can't be explained, it can only be experienced. Semper Fi!

I went to a boot camp run by the National Guard as a teen. My least favorite Cadre became my favorite at the end. He was all business at first, but that was it❤ he when gave me a nickname only he would call me. Girl BTW lol

You just explained it to me perfectly. Thank you!

Based. ?

I saw on one of their promotional videos. They had the dudes wives saying that this was the best thing their husbands ever did and they recommended to other husbands lol. I wonder how much they paid those women to say that lol

It's just a buzzword. It's not even a job title, anybody can call themself that

but that's the thing...there's not a ton of people in the world ready to hangout with depressed or desperate people....but there's cults around that would love to take people in ...thing is if you watch some of the bootcamp vids from the army and you see really weak and obese younger people, as well as older really obese officers who are IN the military. what these guys can do in this vid makes those people look like the joke... I mean if you are 60 and can do a triathlon or can crank out 50 pushups or a whole murph, then I'd say that you are more deserving of respect, especially when so many middle aged/ older people have given up on themselves physically... I'd rather watch these ("unofficial") guys help each other up soaking wet and cold rather than some retired CO/NCO who is now fat telling younger people that it's ok to be fat and that the same fate awaits them.... that's the real cringe

I suppose when you put it that way...

That's what I did. I don't like the direction the military is going, so went into Fire/EMS. I don't get paid, both are volunteer, BUT it's still cheaper than paying 18k! At least I get free Community College classes out of it haha.

@@the32712 and you actually help your community

My dad’s too old to join the military even though he wishes he did, so he joined a gym and became a volunteer firefighter and he found the community he was needing. I’m prior service 11b and my little brother is a 68w who’s going to selection.

@@the32712 So, honest question from someone who never understood this; How do you pay the bills if you're working as an unpaid firefighter? Between a normal job and being at a firestation for ~2-3 days straight? I don't imagine you'd have much time for anything else?

These fuckbois are paying for this training. $18,000. More than your average Maretard private makes.

But then you'll be working for the most anti American institution in the world, aka the US government.

Biggest lesson is: Be extremely wary of any person or organization who claims that following them will do non-specific shit like “make you a real man” or “fix your life.” The devil is in the details. Research shit before you throw in on it.

All they're thinking about is "what could someone like that do for the company?" They think "geez if I had all SEALS, these guys would devote their lives to making me more money!"

@@joeg5414 Veterans who would be the best employees at those companies are the ones whose jobs directly translate into civilian employment, such as JAGs, finance and HR specialists, recruiters, etc. Being a SEAL and having experience conducting small unit tactics and maritime insertions via SDVs does not translate well into many civilian jobs outside of law enforcement.

@@mattwong5403 yeah found that one about transferable skills. To be fair I know ive always put a fellow Marine on the top of the stack of applications, and I know I have a good baseline right away. But as far as MOS. I went artillery FO and then into recon. Not the groups today, but early in gwot when the leadership declared the entire branch are top tier fighting force so they didn't send anyone to jsoc.

So true and they’re obnoxious as hell!

Yea but it’s actual genuine teamwork. They have that mindset because they have to make sure no one’s life is in danger and they are all cogs that are running smoothly for the betterment of the team. CEOs and corporations don’t think like that at all.

….and they are real, with a real purpose.

And there's a purpose.

SSgt Hayes was pretty explicit about the fact that he “in no way, shape, or form gave a sh*t” about me or my problems. He told me so quite regularly.

And then when one of the guys tries doing something to build that bond they scream at him and punish the guy he was helping.

He probably didn't know about it. But are they sure it was asthma? Could have very likely been Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) .a Young guy that passes out and dies while running is right up that alley.

Could’ve been “sports induced asthma” I didn’t know it was a thing until the PFT in boot camp. Some kid got like a 30 something minute 3 mile dying the whole way and it turns out he had sports induced asthma and ended up getting dropped and most likely ad sepped.

Damn that hurts. Our DIs and Drill Sergeants do care about their troops and work hard to make great soldiers and marines. Some let it go to their heads but a vast majority are great hard working professionals. Those guys and gals work their asses off. 42 years later many of my Drills are some of my greatest friends. Hope your friend gets past this tragic event.

Wait who killed someone??

Also those programs have more adv. medical personnel and PTs

Just like Kyle Mullen died during Hell Week

Which is exactly why 1. The military medically screens you prior to enlisting/shipping out 2. Basic training/boot camp is a progression for example there’s a reason the crucible is towards the end of boot camp so that way they spend the weeks prior getting recruits ready for it

@@kingaling0351 Also, most of these require an additional physical before entering

So your saying that's unlike tv army training isn't about being punched in the face all day

The marines and Army are not the same boot camp training. The guy clearly mentioned Marines

Agreed

I get if he had served 10-12 years and got out in early 2001, but the guy only completed one contract. How do you not re-up after 9/11?

which one did that again?

it is odd. I was Air Force. I joined in June 2001. I was obsessed with aviation and wanted to be an air traffic controller. Wasn't looking for a war, I'd have joined the Army or Marines if I was. I got out in 2005 after my 4 years. Fk that. Peace time military when I joined, war time military a few months later. Still volunteered for both of my deployments. Thought for sure I'd end up in Iraq. Got lucky and went to vacation spots - Qatar first time and UAE the 2nd. Was in Qatar for the start of OIF. That was enough for me though. Got out and sit here now wishing I'd have stayed in.

@@troybaxter probably because he wanted to be able to say he was a Marine without ever having to do Marine stuff. He joined and there was no war, thought he'd skate through. Months after he joins, we're going to war. That's was a wrench in his plans I'm sure. Should have joined the Air Force like I did. I ate Pizza Hut on my deployments and went shopping in the malls on my days off🤣That's the experience he was looking for

Both are true, because the folks complaining about the economy ain't the ones dropping 18k on foolishness like this.

@@richardcaraballo1185Touche

How much can you really change in 75 hours though?

My instructor said he was never yelling. He was talking loudly so others can also learn from your mistake. Hell there was a few times I fucked up and asked wtf was wrong with me, and I explained I was stupid. Took him by surprise and he had an actual talk with me. These dumb asses think that just yelling changes a person. Yelling can be a form of teaching and experienced Drills know that. I would love for these three tools to be shark attacked and do what they make the others do for 75 hours.

I was slightly older than the other recruits, so I wasn't truly afraid of the instructors, and other family Veterans gave me a mild explanation of what was about to happen (they didn't spoil anything though). Even knowing all that, the first time an instructor looked at my security tray and said "good shit", I was genuinely happy and proud. It was an odd experience to have someone yell at you constantly, but then be happy they praised you. In the off chance you were one of my instructors: thank you, and go fuck yourself.

So basically all the harshness of military training but with giant pompous idiots running everything and none of the benefits. Incredible.

Unfortunately when I take yelling however, I laugh. I can’t help it. I have a subconscious knee jerk urge to just laugh at someone when they’re trying to yell at me and discipline me in that way. I know because my dad was in the Marines. He was a black belt instructor. He basically has a PHD in yelling. Yet when he yells like that to me I have the subconscious urge to laugh hysterically that I have to hold in, which then turns into a big goofy smirk that I can tell just infuriates him even more.

You fantasize about that, but he would definitely kick the sh*t out of you

I'd put 50 that he's a basic training dropout

@@sushimstr No bet.

@@sushimstr this is coming from a civilian BTW

Everyone who isnt an absolute bitch, doens lt have any health issues and who has a modicum of motivation can pass basic training, its designed to be that way.

Stolen valor is a serious crime. If you want to know whether or not he is a real Marine ask him about his MOS. Ask him what unit he served in. What was his final rank when he got out.

Which, also happens to be illegal but doesnt require some stupid legislation to specify it. Walking around with a uniform on is freedom of expression and a protected activity. Stolen Valor as a whole is stupid and pointless.

This, this is where I seen a few dudes break down and cry during basic. I went through basic at 33 and had a Dad who did this to me, so I knew what was happening with bringing the problem kid off to the side and giving him his first stern, in the face talking too. Thats where they broke. That was the attitude changer. They never had that before getting to basic, and it fucking worked. After that talking to, their attitude did a 180.

That's exactly why my company's Drill Sgt in basic, rarely ever raised his voice. It could be intimidating or friendly it just depended on how you would want to try approaching him. The ones who always screamed became a running joke to all of us.

@mrheart4242 like I said you could follow all the orders and they could just say "you didn't do this right - you're out, you're done no refunds"

Yes. I agree they do that. I am also saying they get a thrill watching soft children quit and hang their head. I am a Marine.went in at 17 years old.it was a hard, cold, and rude awakening. I did a lot of the more f'ed up training. Like spending 3 days and nights running from a pursuit. Getting dropped 3 miles out in the gulf out to swim back after treading water for an hour and spending 7 days in a swamp. Dropped off shore then burried in sand overnight. Just to have to run miles the next day in cold wet gear. The first thing you learn is comfort is not a necessity. People who have never slept under the stars for a blanket. Well they will drop fast. It still will never compare to watching someone quit, simply because it's hard.

3 days is literally no work, i got paid to train, these dudes are clowns

Tax write off? Business expense?

Honestly best time of my life looking back at it

Again? When was this?

@@prueensgloria4743 Nope I won't do basic again. Graduated 1996

The whole roast the team had me laughing, I had to rewatch that shit.

Makes sense 😂

You obviously follow quality people, I can see real DI’s & DS’s doing something similar that has a plan & makes sense, this is some weird sadomasochistic crap for empty people

Charlie smoked the shit out of them.

This is the first I've seen of this. Can anyone recommend some other channels that covered the MKD?

@@davidhoffman6980 Penguinz0 did a pretty good one, Chadchad too.

Could've or Could have

I agree man my PLT lead drill was like a father I never had during that 6 months. Thanks DS B you stick wielding scary mfer

6 months? Which branch was running basic for 6 months?

@@NavyVet4955 3 months of basic, 3 months AIT. Army AIT is still basic-y.

@@Cookie-Dough-Dynamo ah got ya.

​@@Cookie-Dough-Dynamonever looked at ait as part of basic. Guess that makes some sense.

Had a few instructors like that. Made you want to despise them, but afterwards/hindsight look what they helped shape you into

Marines not marines.
