What Do Female Recruits Do on Day One of US Army Recruit Training? 

I would like to thank all of the men and women who serve and have served in our armed forces.

This must not be like Normal for you Army types. ( Marine here ) I know Marine Corps Bootcamp at MCRD Parris Island, our 1st day began at 0200 stepping on the little yellow footprints, and being yelled at by everyone from the Marine CPL at the Airport in Charleston, to the Bus driver who took us to P.I. P.I. is like being on another planet, a hostile planet with people who seem to hate your guts and you annoy them greatly. You spend the next 3 months being told what, when, where, and how, sunup to sundown, and you do not deviate from that until you graduate. There are no "easy nice" days. I am not trying to "outdo" the Army here, Just telling it like it was for us in 1981 at Parris Island. we adapted, just as you do to it. It is weird coming from the civilian world as a 17yr old, into that world. when you graduate, you are a different animal than what got off that bus. Kids today need that culture shock, just as we did. You think you have a fine bead on things at that age, but find out quick, you don't know nothing. Glad to see young people still joining. The Nation needs them. Semper Fi.

Fun Old memories. God bless our male and female soldiers Yes Sir 👍😎🇺🇲🪖

Thanks for all your help and doing everything for all of us here at home A's all you there.will be so happy when you guys get home safe .

We didn’t get any kind of military clothes, civilian cloth was the uniform of the day first week 87-07 retired . Big diff.

Nice CamelBaks, back in my day they gave us the cheap canteens, and we had to give them back after we graduated 😆

The best thing you can do is make a friend. Make that person your battle buddy! It’s a hell of a lot easier for two of you to go through basic training together than it is for you to do it by yourself

In Canada they use a 3D scanner to get your sizes

ماشاء جيش محترف ادقاإن في العمل في كل شي

I went through Navy boot camp in June 1974 in hot Orlando, Florida and we got jumped on the second we got off the bus, nothing was easy, everyone yelled at you!

Thank you all for your service and family’s sacrifice. Best of luck, and be safe. Thank you

That shoe crew is doing an outstanding job. Most important link in that chain.

They’re not even yelling at them.

I don't remember all those people helping out. Just fill the dufflebag and to the barracks. Back when pay was really low...lol..1977

They have it made these days with boots. When I was in the Army we had black combat boots and had to keep them polished!!!

Things have changed a little bit since I went through basic at Fort Dix, N.J. in 1968, during the Vietnam War.

Nothing against females enlisting but make sure you're actually meeting the standards. When I first joined too many female recruits were given free passes out of fear of scrutiny from higher ups.

The army provides you with self disciple and leadership skills, only costs you your time and effort. Excellent training and on the job training.

Is this relaxin jackson? I almost fell asleep watching. Fort Knox wasnt like walking around at the mall

Recruits ( Navy- Marine Corps, Coast Guard) . Trainees ( Air Force and Space Force) . Privates ( Army) . It would help if the proper Department of Defense ( DOD) Terminology is used in order to not confuse the Civilians ,Who are obviously NOT in the Armed Services , know the difference, because , although We are All Family, We do NOT like to be called by Brother's or Sister's Name ( e.g. , a Marine is NOT a Soldier , etc. and et al. ) . Otherwise , a damn good Video featuring Day One of Female Privates at Army Basic Combat Training ( BCT).🇺🇸🇺🇲🦅📜🗽🪖🎖️💣💥🔥🇺🇲🇺🇲

Humans always want to be part of something bigger, these young people will do well.

Not the army basic training I went to. Immediately getting off the bus, the drill sergeants were in our faces making us doing push ups until them got bored of yelling.

God Bless your loving caring hearts.

That’s the first day at the reception station. Not first day of OSUT BCT/AIT.

I went in in 67, there was a WAC detachment on Ft Rucker next to our company at the time, all of the gals who needed them were issued what us guys called birth control glasses, these glasses were so ugly that the ladies didn't have to worry about a guy hitting on them. I wonder if the military still issues these same glasses today?

This is the In-processing Station where you get all of your Paperwork, Documents & Uniforms, TA-50 Gear before BASIX TRNG.

6 July 1996, remember shipping out like it was yesterday New Orleans to ATL during the Olympics. Caught a bus to Fort Jackson arrived in the middle of the night retired 26 years later best decision I ever made! Saw the world and had tons of fun. You always look back at your crappist times as your fondest memories freezing your a@@ off in the field working long hours.

كلنا نعلم ماوظيفتهم في الجيش

When I arrived to San Diego Recruit Training command (Navy) in May of 1970, we basically stood around doing nothing for 3 days until they had enough to start 3 full companies, about 350-400 men. There were no women in any branches then.

Went to Navy Boot Camp in July 1984. WAAAAAAAYYYYY different.

It is so much different than the Marine Corps.

Ici en Normandie nous n'oublierons jamais le courage des forces armées Américaines, les alliés qui ont courageusement débarqués sur Omaha "La sanglante" (Bloody Omaha), Utah, Gold, Juno, Sword, le 6 Juin 1944. Le "Big Red One" (1st Infantry), 101st Airborne parmi les plus connus en régiments et tout les autres, leurs âmes est toujours présentes sur notre nation: Les courageux vétérans comme les vénérables soldats disparus au combat, nous ne vous oublierons jamais.

I still remember the day I joined the Australian army at the tender age of 17. One of the most confused and exciting day of my life.

Strong is strength

Things have changed since 1973. They actually try to see if stuff fits now? The boot people are better at their job than those at a real shoe store.

Ese lente trabajo gracias saludos cordiales usted

Thank you for your cervix.

The Air Force weight standards in 1982 were very strict. The weight standards were not as strict for women, but much stricter than what I see now. Maybe the Army is less strict. I heard they have a special basic for overweight recruits.

these kids got off easy joining the army but i glad they choose to serve!!!!!!!!!

I was drafted in 1971, this wasn't anywhere close to what we experienced. They asked you what your shoe size was, shoved two pairs of boots and a pair of dress shoes at you and told you to move on. The rest you just took what they gave you although everything seemed to fit pretty close.

I got off that bus at PI in 1986 and said Lord I have descended into the gates of Hell with the Devil’s henchmen doing his bidding 😂😂Semper Fi

All the 8,9’s & 10’s go to the Airfarce 😂😂😂

Wow! What a different Army these days. Used to be able to hear Drill Sergeants from 50 yards away getting off that bus and every moment afterwards!!! And that boot fitting seems to be particular to where this base is since my grandson stood on the foot measuring device, was handed two pair of boots that didn't fit and blew out within a month, and told to move out.

They are SOOO Young!!! Feel So Sorry for them!!

I am a filipino i like to join in us army

To the KIDS out there..Want to BE Somebody ? Join Any Military Branch & get Respect ! ...Good Luck to the Boys & Girls of USA !

i leave the 5th of next month, i cant wait, so excited

great job. nothing like oakland CA in the 1960s

beautiful brave girls hope joyful serve for the US army

Снабжение всегда было сильной стороной американской армии. Многие новобранцы имеют избыточный вес. Белых меньше чем цветных. Примерку обмундирования и записи в ведомостях выдачи осуществляют работники складов. Интересные особенности.

I see a whole lot of overweight kids in that batch, unheard of when I went through in 1982.

I noticed that recruiting weight standards don’t exist.

Good luck everybody from india

Recruiters: Kudos to you. What a fine grof young women. God bless ladues

God bless your works it is well

I can see this is fort Jackson

Ones I have that big green bag, my dear brother in law gave it to me,, love you Kong Jun miss you all,,, ❤ :(

Not get any no more is the hardest thing about it all until ya mentally broke knowing it's something ya want got to have, unless you choose it mentally

Wow this is an easy first day in the Marine Corps we caught total hell the minute the bus pulled up and the doors opened I thought I was in hell.

What is the succession rate of the new recruits getting all the way through boot camp

ادري هذوله اشو ماعدهم حل ربط لو اسود لو ابيض شسالفه

I'm surprised these recruits get all that gear on day one. In my day (1961), we only got pants, shirt and hat on 1st day, because many would not make it through the reception center. After a week or so of tests, we got all our uniforms.

Best 💯❤😢

That's not how it was in 1998 and 2004. Went to basic twice, once at Ft. Jackson S.C. and in 2004 in Ft. Leonardwood MO. Where's the shark attack, the yelling, the confusion??

Outstanding work

Things have CHANGED!!! 40 years ago this date, I was half way through Basic Combat Training at Ft. Knox. Ft. Knox was the USAATC (United States Army Armor Training Center) and there were NO female recruits! Women weren't allowed in a Combat Arms MOS at that time. More importantly, I didn't see ANY screaming drill sergeants!!!😙😙😙

I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I FEEL LIKE FEMALE TRAINEES IN THE ARMY HAVE IT THE EASIEST COMPARED TO MALES BRO THIS LOWKEY THE SMOOTHEST TRANSITION EVER !!! I WISH MY PROCESSING WENT THIS SMOOTH WTF ???!!

You have to be mentally prepare and do all the hard physical exercises first before deciding to join the Armforce.

Hooah! Thank you for your service.👍

they're look like my age or younger

저도한국에서군대생활했습니다미국인들에항상응원합니다.힘내세용

A bit different to how it was in 1981. Co-ed basic at Ft. Dix.

You guys have all of our respect and admiration! Thank you!

This was me, 38 years ago in 1986.

Damn reception hasn’t changed a damn bit still that old building with no AC in it lol. Aaah good times

R those boots n clothing made in Cheena? I like datto cap fitting scene the best. The caps make dem new recruits look very sharp n smart. Thx 4 keeping our military strongest in der Weld.

The civilians seem pretty chill in this video don't let that fool you. CIF is the absolute worst. Goodluck!

And they are supposed to go fight a very violent enemy??? ... this is the reason why the ARMY is doomed ... SMH ... 🤦‍♂

Hard to understand some of those people talking…….

The ones in uniform passing out boots are about to be chaptered out of basic training

The last girl. He couldn't find an army long sleeve jacket because she is a small girl. I hope you can find her in her size.
