The Making of a Soldier | Graduation (Final Episode) 

So proud of all US soldiers. My son just graduated from Ft. Jackson SC. in Oct. It's an amazing day for everyone involed. Thanks to all!!!!!

Great series. Im 16 and contemplating joining the Army because I love this country and my dad was an Army Ranger. This just puts it into more perspective. Very helpful

Fort Benning Grad (16 NOV 01) and 173rd ABCT combat vet here. I'm proud of all you guys! God loves the Infantry!!!

12 more days till i ship out ! HOOAH!!!

Thanks for this series. I went through basic training in 1994. This series was a reminder of some of the stuff I endured during my training. It's nice to be able to share it with my children so they can see what it's like earning the title of soldier.

Thank you for this series.... It really helps see what my son and hero is going through so far away. Thanks to the infantry for defending my country.

Thank you for sharing this with the public. I had no idea what my grandson would go thru during basic. Makes me twice as proud of him!

Thanks for taking the time to create this series. Helps me to see what I'll be going through here in just 15 days from now. Really helpful. Just watched all the episodes in one sitting. Going to do it again and again until I leave as well.

This series really helped me. I'm 14 and I'm going to join the army when I'm 18. This gave a lot of info that I didn't know before. My dad was in the navy, my uncle was a marine, my grandpa was in the army, and my dad's friend was also a marine. I want to serve my country and become a better person. Best army boot camp series yet.

I'm planning on enlisting whenever I can. It would be great to go to benning! Thanks soldiers for protecting our freedom.

I know this video is kinda old but re watching it makes me feel good and proud that I will hopefully enlist as an 11x with a option 40 contract to become a 75th ranger

It was alot harder when i went though 2nd&58th C.Co 1st Platoon back in 94 but it brings back the memories hope all of you that go the very best and try to learn as much as you can from your DI's. These men have been in the heat of battle and they know what they are talking about Hooah. I was with the 25th Inf Div and i loved every minute of it.

thank you so much for these series!! i am not an American, but will be moving there soon! deep inside of me i feel like an american and was sure already before seeing this i wanted to sign up and protect this great country and the proud people in it!!! after seeing the, i am sure i WILL join even more!! it would be an honor standing next of these proud men! GO Army!!!!

It takes HEART to join the Armed Forces of this nation, especially when we're involved in a conflict.

My brother ships out to Fort Benning in about two months...I hope to fallow in two years

Great Job filming these series! Brings many great memories when I was in Fort Benning back in Sep. 1978 for my 11B AIT after having a great CBT at Fort Jackson, SC. A lot have changed between 1978 and now... but 11B/INFANTRY still INFANTRY... HOOAH!

Thank you very much for making this series

I decided to write a paper on the infantry and this helped a lot! Thanks!!!

One day I would like to go back and revisit my old training unit. Eco. 1/50th. Great times I had there. I wouldnt trade it for anything else.

I come from a family of Marines and Navy. But imma change that tradition and join the Army.

hey yall should do another edition for 2014 basic training but have more interviews I would really love to see more ...and I believe you will have 2 times as many viewers.!@!!!!!!!!!!!good job guys!!!!!!

11Bravo....Hoorah for the Infantry............Lock and load!

There is a program I'm doing with my recruiter that when my senior year in HS starts this year I'll report to him twice a week, every week till I graduate so it will already have me at an E-3 even prior to going to basic. You guys should see if a recruiting station or nearby MEPS center offers similar programs.

11 Bravo Fort Benning February 12th 2013 HOOAH!!!!!! can't wait to join my brothers in the infantry.

Man that kinda sucks that they didn't get to graduate on the actual parade grounds of the infantry museum, but still hooah 2-54th! Congrats!!!

@BucketOSyrup dude don't put your ship dates online, the enemy looks for info like that i'm a future soldier too, obviously you didn't go to the anti terrorist training they tell you NOT to put ship dates anywhere online

I heard theyre standardizing MULTICAM in 2013 at some point, maybe 2014. if anyone can confirm this with an accurate source, by all means, id like a reply. i ship Feb 2013 HOOAAH!

@Precersor Yeah I never understood the Army VS Marine thing... I mean both branches train for combat operations. I can kinda get Army & Marine VS the other branches though.

same here that will also help because after 3-4years of JROTC when u join u get 2 ranks so basically from Pvt. to Spc.

Same music as my Civil Air Patrol encampment graduation and my cousin’s marine graduation

Awesome series I loved it my son is out there right now.

I ship on February 7th to Benning.-11x. this was a great motivator see you guys at training
