Before starting the academic year, incoming freshmen at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, must participate in a six-week basic training program that teaches military skills like rifle marksmanship, rappelling, navigation, and properly donning protective gear like gas masks.
At the end of training, cadets compete in “The Crucible,” a high-intensity final test that cadets must complete before marching 12 miles back to the main West Point campus, where they will begin their academic year. Insider followed these new cadets throughout the summer to see what all they learn before beginning their school year at the prestigious military academy.

What New Army Cadets Go Through During The First Six Weeks At West Point | Boot Camp

As a delegated member of the young men and a spokesperson for the early 20’s range I’m announcing that we are still not joining in the masses, best of look to your future recruitment
very cool
West Point Graduates are a joke. Barely get respect from the enlisted. They come in high and mighty just for a E-4 with two combat deployments out them in their place. Being a paper pusher as they are only good for. If the Army wants good leadership. Officers need to do a mandatory 2 years as a enlisted soldier first. To actually know what lower enlisted has to go through.
How does the person at 12:25 have a damn ponytail lol
Wow. Repelling… Wow… Annnnnnd they're shooting with a rifle block….. This is sad.
Im a vet. Don’t join. Your being lied to. But hey, we all live in the present right?
Why the women get to keep there hair? Never understood that?
Not that war is patriotic yet this made me tear up w pride.
Best of luck, Cadets!
As far as I can tell, the go-to solution for weathering this downturn and high expansion is momentary exchanging, rather than long haul exchanging; most people utilizing these methods are netting a lot of gains; sure, the dangers are higher, but isn't the ongoing business sector similarly as risky?
That gas chamber was hell, as soon as I went into the chamber my Sergeant was bringing out his crackhead energy stirring that pot
Not gonna lie…this looks like a piece of piss compared to what my basic training was
To those that are unaware: This is Officer training. THIS IS NOT boot camp for enlisted. And while there might be many similarities, they are quite different. For one, they are much kinder to cadets than they are privates.
2:10 I was expecting him to start yelling at her after polity telling her to put it on Safe and take your finger off the trigger
my man at the end quoting rocky💀
This is just boot camp guys…. They go through 4 more years of training calm down
The US army makes army in Singapore look like a child’s play.
I burst out luaghing when the instructor told him START SCREAMING
Why would anyone join the marine corps today? Proudly losing wars and getting shafted by the VA? Bla bla bla "Sir ,Yessir" bla bla bla "Oorah" . Pfft , Pathetic.
thats a damn easy army
its a vacation with guns damnnn
“Ruck threw the forest”. I am not saw one person with a pack lol
This is the opening six weeks of a 4 YOUR course hence the lack of urgency you see in enlisted boot camp video where instructors only have 8 to 9 weeks to convert from civilian to soldier.
Penis popping is forbidden in front of others trainees
I wonder what Russian conscripts would think about the determination and high moral of these 🇺🇸 trainees.
Wait so there’s no hazing ??
9:27 instructor is actually probably saying ‘endex’, which is an abbreviation for end of exercise.
14:15 that is a Philippine flag proud of you brother🇵🇭👏🏼💪Congrats
I did see a filipino Cadet❤️🇵🇭
priceless
Don’t compare bootcamp with the trainings these cadets do, their instructors are not drill sergeants, but rather upper class men/ officers. The young officers are there to study academics and not in a hurry to be sent to the frontline. They still have to endure 4 more years of academic pressure plus military pressure so they aren’t taking it easy.
This is we're they learn to drop bombs on kids .
3:40 that's what kids do in polish primary schools 🙂
This looks kinda fun lol
I'd still listen to a hardened NCO, not a college graduate.
This is more of the West Point initiation process than full on basic combat training. Important to remember that after they graduate WP they will still attend OCS and in depth training for their assigned branches like any other officer candidate.
Signed up to defend the same country that elected Cheeto, here's your sign!
Weak
An i the only one pissed off that they have it this easy. I wish my instructors were this nice.
Watching this angers me. Aint no need for Enlisted to be taught this same exact shit but with yelling, disrespectful name calling, excessive strictness, “discipline” and stress inducing tactics. Teach both the same or don’t teach at all. A big reason why the Army’s recruitment and retainment numbers are so poor
I wish Tyger guy had said: "numb…arm, numb…arm"
These jokers will never experience what I went through in 1970.
