Newly enlisted U.S Army soldier. Any pointers to give before I go to Basic Training ?

Don't be too high speed for your own good, and you won't be a soldier until after AIT

Just keep your head down and don't stand out until you get to your unit! The only way you should stand out is for PT or marksmanship. Remember when you go back home that you're not a home town hero until you deploy in a combat setting and come back

You're going to shower with dudes day one. Don't boner

My drill made us do group push-ups while naked waiting for turn at showers to break us of the embarrassment. By day five nobody gave a fuck one dude liked it so much they gave him his own shower
>>
>>691208352
Basic is kind of a joke tbh. I did 8 years active and 16 after that as a reservist, went in enlisted as a kid, retired as a major. I'll boil this down:

*practice pushups with perfect form. If you can actually meet army PT standards BEFORE you go, it'll be so, so much easier.

*in the army, PT is really a big deal. People who have high scores get the best treatment in any unit they are in. Better treatment and chances for promotion. People with low scores are treated as lesser orders of being. It's wrong in my opinion but that's the way it is.

*To that end, I'd get a workout plan from your recruiter or online, and actually do it and stick to it until you go. You'll be very glad if you did.

*Lastly, enjoy your time in basic. You'll probably make some very good friends. Some of my guys I'm still in touch with all these decades later believe it or not. Basic is not really all that hard . . .

*try to get your hands on a TRAINING SCHEDULE in basic. Without it, you'll have zero clue from one day to the next if you are road marching, going to some dumb class, etc etc. It's really hard to understand what's happening that way, and if the army still does it like that, I think it's stupid. Your platoon guide may have the schedule, or you could get the balls to ask a drill sergeant to see it. You won't believe how much easier it makes your life. Knowledge is power man.

>you're not a soldier until you get to your first command you fucking faggot. AT LEAST until you get done with botocamp

the army has basic training, not "boot camp," and perhaps overgenerously, calls its trainees soldiers from day one. You could make a case that this cheapens the brand, on the other hand, it gives you something to live up to, assuming you give a fuck about what you are trying to accomplish.

Have no emotions. Keep your kind set to only getting the job done. There is no such thing as getting through the army with luck, it doesn't exist over there. You're going to need to be prepaired to set your mind to an entire different person.

bad news: you're a few years too late to have much opportunity to "kill mudslimes" and "keep a piece of every kill you get."

5. Dont jerk off in the showers

6. Dont fake a seizure

7. Dont fake a heat stroke

8. Dont go to a "massage parlor" on family day ir if you get an off-post pass

9. Dont snort the cera lite in front of the drill sgts

10. Dont shit in someone else's bed

11. Dont point your weapon at anybody

12. Dont rest the barrel of your weapon on your boot

As long as you dont do any of this stupid shit that the other idiots did, basic training will go by smoothly

Killing?
Dude, you're probably not going to even get a single kill, depending on what role you take in the army.
Even if you end up as a boots on ground guy, you're gonna be mostly patroling and doing nothing for most of the days.
>>
I only have a couple pieces that might help. I went through naval bootcamp so it probably wasnt as rigorous but either way. Don't try to fly under or over the radar. Just coast. Try and get a bootcamp job as soon as possible. Dont be ashamed about showering with a bunch of naked men, they all probably feel the same as you. Most importantly, be respectful to everyone.

This. My MOS was in a combat zone doing nothing but strict patrol and I spent my days waddling around in the middle of fucking nowhere. My advice to you is keep your head down, and only excel in what you know you'll do good in (PT, shooting, etc), and you'll be fine.
>>
When you move from the first week of getting your boots,shots,uniform etc etc you will be bused to your barracks. There will be every single drill waiting for you to get off the bus, they will scream at you to run to the back of the barracks to the rock pit. Then they will move you to the back area of the barracks where you will dump your entire (gigantic) duffel bag full of everything, they will then go through a check list to make sure everyone has everything (screaming at you the entire time) every time someone cannot find it within the time hack they will make the entire platoon do push-ups. (When I was done finding it the guy next to me couldn't find what he was looking for so I helped him find it so we would stop doing push-ups [received no shit for this]) That'll be your first shock, once you get past that first day, it'll be fine.

If you think Canada is difficult, try the Irish Rangers....
You're to climb up a mountain with 80 pounds on your back up and down 3 times under a time limit, and even carry a boat with your comerades up and down a mountain. And that's only basic training.
If you gunsweep someone (sweep the barrel of the gun from someone), you're done. Out of the training, and not allowed back in a year's time.

My advice is don't jack off in the showers or bathrooms; they know
>>
>>691208352
1)Drink lots of water even if not thirsty
2)Keep low profile for first week
2a)If physical weak you will stand out Google the army pt standard for your age make sure you can do it
3) it's Georgia and September you got lucky will feel great
4) If the DS tells you to do something stupid like touch his hat or some shit don't
5)don't shave your pupes in the shower will clog drains
6)make allot of friend in your platoon
7)do not take any thing with you to basic all you need is yourself and your paper work every thing else will be thrown away
8)just enjoy your time there don't stress allot and the DS are not bad guys
9)if you fuck up and get every one smoked they will hate you
>>
>>691214603
well if you've never been there you'd be surprised how many people do NOT do this. They lay around all summer and are in for a nasty shock when they arrive. Work out every fucking day.

Nothing else is all that important. You don't have to be very smart to graduate, so studying a book to learn about the names of various grenades is a waste of time. If the physical stuff is ok, you will do fine with everything else.

>1)Drink lots of water even if not thirsty

haha, I heard this too, and did it, and our first time out in the woods for a week, I drank so much I had to piss every few minutes. I realized I had overdone it! I realized soon enough that you just make sure you have plenty of water at all times and drink when you are thirsty, or when they tell you to, and you'll be just fine. Your body knows when it needs water and you don't have to force it.

How old are you? If you're 18-21 you're gonna have a decently fun time in basic. If you're older than that you're gonna have to learn to control your rage because the fucking youngins are a pain in the god damned ass.
That being said, stay hydrated. Don't steal food. Keep your head down and don't draw attention to yourself. Do what you're told and it will all be over soon enough.
Oh, and try to stay awake during class. You're gonna be really fucking tired the whole time. If you fall asleep there's a good chance you'll fuck over your whole platoon.

they may not really be morons but they sure look stupid. Probably feel it too, as they realize they've wasted their time prior to joining and made life more difficult.

If you're not active duty now, you should look at websites for some of the schools the army conducts. Now, just about EVERY ONE starts with a PT tests, and if you fail it, not only are you sent back to your unit in shame (I can't imagine reporting back home 2 or 3 days after being shipped across the globe for a 6 month school), they claim they'll bar you from reenlisting and I'm sure your life at your old unit is shit, as you just embarrassed the leaders who sent you there. Obviously that is not how the baby soldiers in Basic are handled, but my point is that the army is shrinking, and has its pick of who it wants to keep. Top of their list are the high PT score people.

Have you ever met an Irish Ranger? Those fuckers are Olympic-tier fitness, never seen anybody like them, and super strict when told to do a job. I remember seeing 4 of them guarding a truck being brought to a bank in Kilkenny Ireland, and one teenager started jeering him. The Ranger literally took a step forward so he could bump into the kid after he touched his Steryr AUG, and the teen got absolutley flattened. I've met a Forgein Legion guy, I know somebody from the SAS and a whole bunch from SEALs. And if Ireland invested more money in the army, they would probably be the best in the world from my experience in the USMC. They would hammer the Forgein Legion if they competed against each other.

Bro, getting to kill is rare now even if you go infantry or cav and to be honest the army has gone soft as fuck. Chances are you'll do too much pt at your first unit and get an injury that forces you to change your mos and you'll be stuck as a pog doing lame ass shit everyday and you'll be a salty little fuck whining all day about it and talking about your "infantry days" we had a faggot in my unit like that and it was so God damn annoying. Also, there are VERY strict rules on the off chance that you do get to kill someone. Wait until the election and if Hillary wins I'd suggest not joining at all. If trump wins go all for it though.

>Oh, and try to stay awake during class. You're gonna be really fucking tired the whole time. If you fall asleep there's a good chance you'll fuck over your whole platoon.

for whatever reason I never had a hard time staying awake in class. Other people did and it was pretty fucking funny. Not so funny when one guy did it during our company's introduction to the battalion commander in the theater. "Don't fall asleep on me young man" he said . . . after that, we knew the drill sergeants were going to be coming down on our asses.

I've met one before. Never met anybody else as funny as this guy, but by the sounds of it, the Ireland Rangers are probably the most elite in the world. From his stories, they were rounded up into a tent, around 8 of them, and a DS started talking to them on testing their reaction timing. He then pulled out a grenade, pulled the pin, and dropped it in the circle around the circle of men. This was BASIC TRAINING, and they drop live grenades rigged to blow to test their fucking REACTIONS
>>
>>691216612
just read Lord of the Flies and you'll get the same vibe. I was sickened by how people turned on the physically weak. The drill sergeants showed their lack of class and professionalism in that regard, in my opinion.

Once during a night march a kid broke his ankle. He rode in a truck back to our camp site. As we formed up, one idiot drill sergeant saw him in the truck and assumed he'd snuck into the truck to shirk marching and began to scream at him. He made him "walk" and the kid fell down and started crying. The drill sergeant made the whole company laugh saying "Private Roberts' pussy hurts!" One of the other assholes from another platoon joined in the fun as the entire company laughed . . .

I knew the kid. Yeah, he was kind of a pussy and kind of a douchebag. But he had genuinely fucked up his ankle and the drill sergeant was a fucking asshole, the kid had done nothing wrong.

TL; DR I am sure. But the injustice of that always bothered me.

My last piece of advice: remember that it's all a head game. If you fuck up and don't pass a PT test, they're going to tell you you're getting recycled to the beginning. It's not fucking true. The drill sergeants are graded on how many people pass. Do not believe anything they say about being recycled. If you're fucking sick, go to sick call. The only way you'll be recycled is if you get seriously injured, fail your final PT test on the third attempt, or you repeatedly fail a test during class time. Enjoy it. It's the most fun you'll never want to have again.

I was in the army once here are some tips

-if you have a girlfriend, dump her. Immediately.
-don't marry the first girl you meet to get that BAH. It's not worth it I promise
-Don't bother making friends at basic. The chances of you still being their friend after you leave is very small
-Your DS will place the most hated person in the platoon in charge as PL. So become the most hated.
-if you are unlucky enough to get a suicidal bunk mate like I did, don't stop him, but don't blatantly tell him to it either.

Sadly we aren't really invested in. Explains why we have such shitty equipment. Never underestimate the Steyr AUG though. That gun is one of the underated guns, I'd say they'd be better than the M4 by a landslide.
>>
>>691218784
disagree, and you sound like a dick:
*agree that girlfriend is probably gone, if you don't want to dump, set your mind that she'll leave you but it's less boring to get her letters
*make friends. I still keep in touch with my buds from basic. What kind of asshole are you that you don't make friends on purpose?
*agree on the marriage thing. It would be hilarious if it wasn't sad, but 3 times while I was in, we had some private come back home from his time in the field or on maneuvers to find his "wife" had cleaned out his bank account completely, abandoned his apartment with rent due, and left him with basically nothing for the next 30 days. The poor fucking kids.

Good on you, man. We need more people with this attitude around. Just be ready to do a lot of waiting before you get to do so - special forces usually does all the killing, so you'll really only get some if you're ambushed or something.

I am a dick sir. If you want to talk to people from basic after you leave go for it. I didn't, and I don't. I bet you also add people you randomly fly with on a plane ride. I never once saw anyone I went to basic with except one dude who spent time in the brig and was court martialled. So he was a soup sandwich.

Everything else you agreed with me so I don't you why you say disagree.

I don't know what that means

Who knows maybe I could end up going into special forces but only time will tell...I just need to work on my running that's all I'm really worried about.I mostly want to do this because I can't stand radical islam and its beliefs

It's the best feeling ever. Believe me. Irish Rangers may be the toughest in the world and people dont know of that, but it's well worth joining if you live in Ireland and are interested.

>>691220891
Basically if you point your gun at somebody even for a millisecond, you're out of the army and failed your training.

>>
>>691220788
well, I kind of disagreed about the girlfriend thing.

I haven't added anyone I flew on a plane with dude . . . basic was an intense experience and some of the guys were really fun to work with. I find it hard to see how someone couldn't make good friends in basic unless they are antisocial. Maybe in 40 years we won't all go visit each others' house or something, I really don't know or give a shit. I'm glad to have met those guys though, and glad to be friends with them. I guess if you enjoy not making friends, good on you.

Same here, man. I'm a Marine poolee and can't run for shit either - I've got to knock two minutes off my run before I can ship. Just keep pushing yourself and you'll make it.

>I mostly want to do this because I can't stand radical islam and its beliefs
Even if the President does? Our leadership isn't the most reliable in terms of stance, especially this election.

There are still a lot that need to be liberated. We didn't bomb them enough, evidently.

>>691221404
Ah sure best of luck to ya!
just remember if shite gets hard, just remember you dont have to carry a boat up an Irish mountain with gear up and down under time. And that's only the beginning of yer suffering in the Rangers
And remember one last thing. Luck doesnt exist in the army. Keep yourself over that "trying my 'luck'" phase, tell yourself that you're gonna get the fuck through, because that's how I got through the Irish Rangers.

Can you tell us more about the suicidial bunk mate
>>
>>691222434
They'll indirectly make you think about why you're fucking enlisting with their down thinking on life and their shit pitiful walks of life. Most of them are there because it's their last choice. Mate was found trying to harm himself on the shitter and got his ass beat and kicked out. Do this for YOU, nothing else.

Here's a piece of advice: Fuck you for supporting a regime that systematically kills the innocent, covers it up, and then praises the murderers. Guns should be taken and destroyed, the military shut down, and all soldiers who retaliate should be put down like the dogs they are. Fuck you and fuck the military.
>>
>>691208352
not a really good time for enlisting but try to exercise, so when you get training it won`t be that hard.
good luck bro also try to do exercise like the soccer players because if you get called for action your feet are gonna bleed.
Start trying to double the pushups needed, double the running, stretching, keep hydrated.
don`t mention it to anyone follow orders also war and killing is not as fun as it sounds try to read some psychology books before.
God Bless.
also ps don`t talk too much about yourself or ask too much questions.

The title is combat medic, depending on the unit you will see combat. Every unit needs a medic. Medic comes second to the job your unit is. If you're in a infantry unit you are infantry until someone goes down.
>>
>>691212103
Do you have pics OP
>>
>>691210594
No. MEPS is the same for everyone. Same cold room with dudes in underwear, same old man looking at your butthole.
>>
>>691229179
Prepare for a lot of studying. Emt portion is boring af. Death by power point. Once you hit the combat medic portion you will be outside every day practicing your combat related skills. Hope you aren't afraid of needles because you will give/get ivs everyday in whisky phase ( The second 8 week portion).Fort Sam isn't as fun as your recruiter told you, and you will be jealous of the Air Force and navy personnel who have the good life. Medics are treated the worst in the medical regiment. Prepare for a strict ait experience and no down time. You will be smoked just as much as you got smoked in basic. Don't believe people who say ait is like college. Maybe for other mos's but medics get treated poorly in the tradoc world.

I've heard they dont have drill sergeants anymore man. have stress cards and shit. It was litterally the easiest thing i've ever done in my life. Pay attention to how the instructors to bandages. Ask other ways the ones with their CMB can use the bandages. Having more than 1 use for any equiptment in your bag is very useful. You will probably share equipment, but when you get into your unit buy an aid bad. From tactical tailor or something. seperate compartments A. B. C. with atleast 3 litres of lacted ringers, and 500ml of hextend.

I chose medic so there was no smooth talking he just called in it for me, am i retarded for doing so? I also got option 4 will that make things harder on me?
>>
>>691213496
Probably because you're on /b/ and most of us can't conceive of an O4 hanging around and shitposting. By the way, the fucks up with the army? My reservist uncle just made major. Most active duty Marine officers don't make it past captain.

How?

>>691230904
The mass casualty simulator is in the dark also and probably the best training you will get there as explosions in populated areas even against civilians are still prevalent. remember check pulse and breathing. Anything other than breathing with pulse move on. the idea is to do the most amount of good with the equipment you have, and you can't save everyone enter a room with 12 people all amputees. Legs bleed out first bigger vessels. Double amputees with chest injuries still bleeding, pass up, sunken chest wound double amupetee pass up. double leg amputee can bleed out in 4 minutes. How fast can you apply two cat tourniquets? what about their blood loss you going to do an IV? too late, by 15minutes into a mass cal mostly those that have lived until now will live, those that did not hit 15 minutes will have already died. move along Pass someone missing a jaw lean them forward sitting up, they will not drown in their own blood laying down, prop them against something. in real fucking life, 1st cav medic laid a guy down in a Bradley, we noticed as they closed the door to casevac and he fucking died. piece of shit unit, piece of shit people. pay the fuck attention

tbh fam most active units will push your shit in if you're even close to the minimum. The PT test is a joke.

The minimum is designed so EVERYONE in reserve, guard or whatever admin position can (or should) pass it.

he was missing his jaw, the laid him down on his back. The blood from his head went down and filled his lungs as he tried to breathe.
