@@markavell7111 Their not newbies if they’re graduates, they teach marching in highschool njrotc, 9th - 12th grade, they had 2-3 years to learn it depending when they started njrotc.
This was my basic graduation. I was in first platoon crazy to see these guys after all these years randomly surfing RU-vid. The drill for second platoon ran a 945 2 mile.
@@ramos1075 n é recruta não, já ta terminou o campo e ta graduando como soldado ev de acordo com a descrição, os cara é ruim mesmo, eu na cerimonia de incorporação tava marchando melhor que esses mulambo
Not only sloppy, there are soldiers out of step for the most part. I was infantry and drill and ceremony was one of the things we did most. If anyone was messing up or joking around, the whole platoon would get SMOKED.
I served 4 years in the US Army...in the 90s Fort Benning Ga... when I see these videos ⭐ it makes me very proud that a tradition as strong as ours keeps going on.
The Army doesn't focus on Drill and Ceremony as much as the Corps. The Army recognizes it's only about early-stage discipline and after that moves on to training their infantry to be dedicated infantry combat killers. If you were training warriors, would you rather them spend several weeks trying to look pretty while marching, or would you rather spend several weeks running them through a mock town letting them practice and learn Military Operations in Urban Terrain? When I was in, my drill sergeants chose to teach us modern combatives and urban warfare rather than drill and ceremony. In my senior drill sergeant's exact words, "I couldn't give a fuck less how you march so long as we get there early, succeed in the mission, and the commander doesn't come bitch at me."
+NarpytheCrimeDog Drill and Ceremony is what makes Marine boot camp the longest, so effectively for combat they don't train any longer than the other service branches. But hey, that's perfectly fine: that's why there are other service branches. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard? They make it happen where Marines can spend the time to look badass in their service blues per tradition. There's probably not a senior enlisted/officer Marine who's going to agree with this, but I'll just say they're in motarded denial with a good view of that t-bone. I think I'd rather *be* a badass than just look like one, and if I had chosen the Marines, I think I would have rather skipped the "extra" 3 weeks. D&C are just things you have to carry with you the whole time.
You got that right, drill and ceremony in the ARMY is not emphasized enough. As for all them soldiers out of step, second platoon cant execute a "left face" on command, leadership is a reflection of these mishaps !
Marines are the first boots on the ground. Marines are transported by the Navy. And once the Marines capture a point, they leave and the Army holds that point. So, the Army doesn't really lead the way. Also, thank you for your service sir.
One of the proudest moments of a man's life is to graduate from Basic Combat Training, that was the moment we changed from boys to young men. I will never forget the feeling of pride that came over us all.
Damn. If my platoon performed like that at our graduation, we would've gotten dropped and smoked right then and there. DS: ... Also DS: HALF RIGHT FACE
I graduated from Ft. Benning in 2002. We got scuffed you if we were off and effed up. I think my brothers class was one of the last classes at Benning to even do D&C anymore. I know by 2007 almost none of the new privates knew their left from right 😂
I love being a Soldier. I got our over a decade ago. And today’s Army is so ate the F$&k up. I’m about to reach out to the Marine Corps. Lord help us!!!!
Well, this video is from when you were still in, so... all jokes aside, thank you for your service. Army has tightened up BCT a little bit since then, but yeah DNC is not what it used to be. There's more focus on actually being able to fight and do your job well
@@jalen3590 it's like me yelling turn left on RU-vid, and then they turned left lolol. It's like the enemy yelling drop your weapon now, and you dropped your weapon as ordered lol
I said the same thing. Down at benning we mainly went to shooting range, did combatives, and got smoked. We rarely did D&C and barely even had to clean. We got smoked for having dirty barracks but they still never enforced it much. They would smoke us even if it was clean anyways. The only thing we would really get lit up for is if we didnt know the infantrymans creed and our general orders, but marching and cadence was never really pushed with my company until like week 11 lol
If my platoon marched like these recruits did during boot camp grad ceremony, we’d be doing grass drills on the pavement in front of our parents, friends and honored guests. (Alpha210Gators)
@@Dave-ti8cx I care! I love MY military! I am proud of every single thing that my military does because my military tries their very best at every single thing that they DO- and my military is DEEP- rollin it right on in with Adele, as she sets fire to the rain!
US Army 65 to 67. Didn't have a 11B mos but still liked the cadence and the feeling of being together and part of a unit, even thought we didn't know anyone when we started. Hoorah!
uhh sk8 easy. You spend more time on fighting drills and weapons proficiency. When we graduated the drills literally told us “we aren’t the Air Force. We got better shit to do than practice walking in a line” so we didn’t practice drill until a few days before.
@@jalaen32 All of my company just naturally got in step so my parents thought we practiced our marching and cadences for family day, in reality we were only told what we were doing just before we went down
Man will the Army ever place an emphasis on drill? I went in 1979 and at A school the Army personal use to line up and watch us march to chow. One guy yelled out and said you Marines march with dignity. When I looked at this video I actually thought they were out a route step.
@JA9669 if you were in the military you’d understand the importance of marching,marching is a display of discipline ,organization and availability to conduct demands but thanks for your imput
Their just boot camp graduates, yea they should at least know how to walk straight then moving like their drunk but you gotta keep in mind they don't practice marching in boot camp it's more so learning the bigger things, just like a JCLC summer camp. More so helping you in leadership skills etc. and learning how almost everything else works but marching.
What part of, “ YOUR LEFT FOOT HETS THE DECK, WHEN I SAY LEFT”! I guess I’m of the Blessed, Learn my left from a great man and Marine, Senior Drill Instructor SSgt Moch. Plt 3037 9May1977. And can still drill like a machine. God Speed Army,,,,, 🇺🇸 Semper Fi,,,
The NCOs are wearing the 198th Infantry Brigade shoulder patch, which means this is at the Army Infantry School at Fort Benning. But it's certainly not like graduation from BCT in my time. We were in our Class A's and indoors at Fort Ord back in 1968. We also got called soldier for the first time since we'd reported at the induction center. Before that we had more "colorful" names.
Dammed if they aint fubar and yes i served. I did 12 years as a combat engineer. If they didn't get smoked after this then drills have gotten way softer than i thought
omg, 2nd platoon did a left face when 1st platoons DI gave his platoon the command and 2nd platoons DI had to make half of his platoon face forward again so they could do it properly, with people watching, civilians, and not just ANY civilians, these civilians are the families of these Soldiers who are about to graduate from basic training. I don’t know if this is the actual ceremony or just a dry run but A+ for the smoke!
When I see vids like this one, I just laugh. I don't think that they're ate up, all it is is a lack of practice. My graduation looked good because we rehearsed and practiced for like 2 days straight and didn't sleep until we got it right multiple times. I doubt that is the case here. I remember me and couple of other tall jabronis in my unit were sent on a detail once to stand in formation and present arms during the National Anthem during a sporting event. On the day before, we spent like 3 or 4 hours rehearsing about a minute and a half worth of DnC. The event was a pretty big deal. They made sure we wouldn't go over there and fuck it up in front of a bunch of people. Gee whiz...the dumb stuff you have to do sometimes...lol. Army Strong
Fort Benning is not the only place infantry basic training is done. It’s also in fort Jackson . I just came from basic at Fort Benning and the drill sergeants do not play when it comes down to this. They use to tease us about belonging at Fort Jackson instead every time we mess up and we did a lot of “Left right face.. front lending rest position move!”😭
Drill and ceremonial drill is important as you need soldiers that not only understand but obey orders. I was in the artillery and drills were carried out the same way every day. You get sloppy in your drills you get sloppy results. I do acknowledge these guys have balls for enlisting in the infantry.
I was thinking the same thing... rehearse rehearse rehearse haha. Spend 4 hours practicing for the change of command and the actual event only takes 20 minutes
You know how we got our country? It was from the Army. And we did it with tactics and skills. Not through marching. And remember all those at National Cemeteries. They fought and died FIGHTING not marching.
Your country doesn't have enough history of marching on the battlefield for it to be seen as 'useful' or nescarary. If you remember how battles were planned then why not remember how they were actually fought. With marching and drill. That's how armies fought around 1776 and 1812
hhds113 If men can’t even march, they can’t even fight. Marching is a show of synchronized soldiers, lethal soldiers. Marching is a natural consequence of synchronization. Take it from anyone in the military or who has been in a high school or college marching band, it isn’t that hard to get in step.
Exactly, we would have never presented ourselves like that, its called pride, discipline, guess thats just from being a Marine, relax Chesty, its just the Army
This is how I march my head starters to chow when I substitute. Left, right, your left. Solana Beach left. (They don't get in step, but they keep moving.)
Anderson Cooper Who is your profile picture because there is know war the military would train someone that talks like this he is right there are JROTC units that are way better at drilling than these guys and last time i checked soldiers don’t make youtube videos of roblox
Wow, that is some of the most disorganized graduation marching I've ever seen. There is quite a bit to comment on, but I'm glad I watched it, as I got a good laugh at it. I still respect any people that join the military though, for whatever reason. Things are definitely a little different than when I was in the military though. LOL
I hope this wasn’t a graduation ceremony because by the way they drilled as a unit shows the complete lack of unit cohesion & discipline and failed leadership.pathetic the enemy would decimate this unit
