I did BCT and AIT in 2013. It was an absolute joke. The drills were a joke as well. If anything it was just hilarious memories. The only thing that sucked was the weather. That’s about it. They try to scare you and all that but they can’t do anything but yell which makes it hilarious. Just enjoy BCT only get it once 😉
 
From what some buddies who are still serving have told me, Basic Training in “today’s Army” is unrecognizable to those of us who went through it 10 or 15+ years ago. All of this “politically correct” bullshit has DS’s more worried about hurting somebody’s feelings or damaging their self-esteem than quickly and efficiently training soldiers in all of the necessary tactics and elements to build a strong soldier.

Granted, I can remember my Senior DS saying the same kind of things when I was at Ft Benning…the whole “When I went through basic I got my ass kicked if I didn’t make perfect hospital corners when making my bunk…You pussies don’t realize how easy you have it!” etc…

When my nephew went through a couple of years ago I couldn’t believe it when he told me about the food CHOICES they had…and in a fully functioning DFAC like only the Air Force & Navy used to have to top it all off! Plus they let them have their cell phones regularly too, which is crazy. I guess the notecard message pinned to a pay phone to read to your “mom & dad” (while the DS is pacing behind you screaming at you to hurry up and get off his mother-fucking phone) stating that you won’t be calling them for the next 10 weeks doesn’t exist any more, haha!

Probably a little truth to all of it. I hope you are prepared for a lot of “Grandpa” jokes at your expense. You will probably be made responsible for your platoon from day 1, and even if you aren’t they will blame you for every little thing that gets fucked up because you “should be the most responsible.”

Hell, you will probably even be older than quite a few of your drill sergeants and company Command. Best of luck though bro. The Army is a part of a great brotherhood, and a very small % of the US population will ever experience or accomplish what you are about to do. I look forward to hearing about it once you graduate.
 
lol ill take the grandpa with a smile, when I smoke em later at PT, im gonna have the last laugh, also that grandpa better come from a big ass dude cause if it comes from a twig or a fatso im going be laughing my ass off when they can go over 10 push ups!!! Sending you pic when I 🎓 bro, probably oldest mofo to graduate lol

Yep good luck. Army is soft as fuck now and an absolute joke. I’m currently in the process of being discharged from active duty over someone getting offended over a social media meme. Safe space needing generation has infiltrated the armed forces. Oh well…got my commission and walking away with a free bachelors degree so They didn’t get to bend me over without getting some shit on that green dick.
