!!WOW!! Tips to Survive Army Basic Training !!What To Expect!!

To join the National Guard, call 562 900-0575 or visit my website site at http://www.iguardcalifornia.com or my blog at http://www.iguardcalifornia.blogspot.com Phase I: Phase I is also known as the "Red Phase," or "Patriot Phase." Phase I runs from Week One to Week Three. The first thing you'll notice about your new drill sergeant is that he or she appears to be a different species from the ones hanging around the Reception Battalion. He/she will appear to be much larger, much meaner, and very much louder. Army Drill Sergeants absolutely love push-ups. "Drop and Give me Twenty" is a favorite phrase (shouted, of course). On this first day, pretty much everyone will get "dropped." You'll be dropped individually, you'll be dropped in pairs, and you'll be dropped as an entire platoon. Week one is best characterized by a term known as TOTAL CONTROL. Total control is were the soldiers only do what they are told to do by their Drill Sergeants. While the Army actually likes initiative and innovation, Drill Sergeants hate it (at least during the first three weeks). The first few weeks of Basic Training is definitely NOT the time to find a better way of doing things. Soldiers arrive to the Basic Training Unit from the Reception Battalion and are immediately immersed into an environment where every move they make is scrutinized by the Drill Sergeant. The correct way to address an Army Drill Sergeant is "Drill Sergeant," such as "Yes, Drill Sergeant, or "No Drill Sergeant," shouted at the top of your lungs. When you respond to a Drill Sergeant, DO NOT look him/her directly in the eyes. This is known as "eye-balling," (such as, "Are you eyeballing me, boy?????"), and is a bad, bad, thing. Eye-balling a Drill Sergeant will immediately result in him eye-balling you back. This is done by placing his eye-balls about 1/8th of an inch away from yours. Suddenly, fire will erupt from his eye sockets and burn you down to your soul. Unfortunately, uncrisping your soul requires a ceremony which normally involves several push ups. No matter how tough you think your Drill Sergeant is, he is nothing compared to his Grandmother. No matter how fast you run, how high you jump, how well you shoot, or how far you throw a grenade, his Grandmother can always do that better. Luckily, few people have ever met a Drill Sergeant's Grandmother. Those who have, rarely talk about the experience (with the exception of the Drill Sergeant, of course - who talks about his Grandmother every time there is something physical going on). You'll understand this later! The typical day throughout Basic Training runs from 0430 (You got to get up very early in able to "do more before 12:00 then most people do all day"), with lights out at 2100 (9:00 PM). Total Control continues the second week, along with courses on Army Core Values (including classes on sexual harassment and race relations), and other military-related subjects (such as the fundamentals of bayonet fighting, and first aid training). During the second week is also where you get to practice hacking, coughing, and crying in the "Gas Chamber." This normally occurs in the afternoon, shortly after lunch. No matter how hungry you are that day, eat a very light lunch. While in the chamber, you'll take your mask off two times (once, you merely lift the mask to state your name, rank, and social security number, then you redone the mask). If you can get away with keeping your eyes closed and not breathing this nasty stuff, go for it. However, it's far more likely that the Drill Sergeant will make sure you open your eyes and take at least a small breath before you're let out of the chamber. Remember, tear gas won't kill ya, but it'll make you wish you were dead. Also during the second week, you'll be introduced to your rifle. In the Army, it is never called a "gun." It is a rifle. More specifically, it's an "M16A2 Rifle." Remember that phrase -- you'll use it often. You don't get to shoot it during the second week -- that'll come later. Right now you get to learn how to hold it, point it, take it apart, clean it, put it back together, take it apart again, put it together again, take it apart once more, put it together one more time, etc. During the final week of Phase I, the Drill Sergeants will (very slowly) start to move the emphasis of training away from individual, to "team." You'll be assigned a "Battle Buddy," and guess what? Throughout the remainder of Basic, everything your Battle Buddy does wrong, you get the "credit for!" What could be better than that? At least you'll no longer be alone when being "dropped." Your Battle Buddy is like your Siamese twin. You'll go everywhere with him/her and do everything with him/her. Of course, as with all weeks, physical training and drill continue during week three, as well as more training/practice taking your rifle apart, and putting it together.
