what's with y'all it's your boy tc otherwise known as t-dog uh i know it's been a minute but that's because uh america uh so if you didn't know okay this is mainly a car channel and um january i joined the united states army so um pretty much i'm just about to talk about my experience at fort seal going through basic training at fort seal brown cove it and dawn is terrible winner uh so i don't really have that great of memory when it comes to recollecting events so i pretty much i had a mini journal or whatever oh that i wrote in and everything compiling most important things i start off writing it daily and then i misplaced it until i found it and i just started writing down the key points and everything and i compiled it down into like some sort of essay and uh pretty much i'm gonna be reading off um up here and kind of talk about my experience here for seal trunk of it and knowing this terrible women okay so um fort seal otherwise known as fort chill uh i heard it called fortune before i came here i don't know if that's because of it was kind of chill which it was but no that's not it windy as hell uh so pretty much enjoy stuff from the beginning so the day i left me ups for the airport i missed my flight i had a two tube or two place in my pocket that they wouldn't let me take on the plane why because i was cleaning my mouth or at the end and i had already put my bag up and uh they took it before i could get back to it and load it up on the plane um i tried to put it in my bag which was already loaded and security chain shields right at the time i was about to board so i got delayed my flight was rescheduled the next day i made it to okc from georgia and sat at the airport all day upon making it to fort seal we began processing which lasted from around 7 30 pm to 1 or 2 a.m there were delayed buses arriving half the time we sat outside we got about two hours of sleep before waking up around 6 00 am we ate emory's outside in the freezing cold it actually wasn't mres it was those little snack boxes or whatever um you know and bear in mind i'm from mississippi so it was the temp was around 35 degrees we typically don't get that it's very rare we get that cold temp um we have processed from january 6 all the way to about january 15th a few people from our first group got pulled at the covet test and then we had people arrive from transformers phoenix which is for seals quarantine battery bct was compressed so pretty much um you have the first two weeks were c1 and c2 which is the controlled modern phase otherwise known as yellow phase and instead of the hammer handle and forge being i think there originally was supposed to be like a week to two weeks they were only just a couple or a few days because of kobe and they was just really getting everything rolling back around that kind of shorten everything um i didn't contract code it so i didn't get recycled you really not getting recycled i mean you it's a possibility that you can a possibility that you won't but i didn't get recycled um first second and threat platoons were male only due to kobe but we later integrated for platoon females and the platoons got rearranged so they organized it by name so like a do c or first platoon then they kind of broke it down you know that way um on january 23rd we took our aclt one one one one assessment due to the lack of proper stretching my hiring strings were sir sore the entire cycle so the day that they kind of demonstrated on how we were going to do the uh acft um when we finished they had us to run from the pull-up bars back to the drill pad and it was cold and we didn't do any type of stretching so i ran trek five six years ago i graduated five six years ago and uh in tenth grade i injured one of my uh hamstrings in 11th grade i injured the other and they haven't properly healed um i don't really do much rehab on them i pretty much just stretch and them i don't really have any problems with my legs on this i mean if i stretch i don't have problems with my legs as long as i stretch uh but yeah so pretty much the entire cycle i've been having problems with my legs um january 25th was the start of the first 72 so the first 72 is in the name it's the first 72 hours of red phase i can't really go into detail about a lot of stuff so i'm going to probably mention it but i'm not going to go into details because i'm not allowed to technically um but there are some things that i can't tell you i give you tips and everything um so keep your locker's locked i repeat keep your lockers locked um make sure you get your pt clothes together the night before you know hang them up in your locker game situated and everything all your hygiene stuff your you like your toothbrush your toothpaste your towels and everything have that stuff sitting in your locker out and ready trust me have that stuff ready before you wake up in the morning so when they tell you to go open your locker and go grab this and that trust me that's all i can really tell you uh yeah and be prepared to get smoked corrective training or corrective action uh january 28th we had the uh medical training lanes and weapons training the temperature was between 18 and 23 degrees from mississippi we don't really see that cold weather uh on february 1st we had our first official aclt uh my maximum dead lift they only really let you do the bare minimum for most of the stuff for the first so my maximum deadlift was 140 pounds which is 160 points my standing power throw was 8 meters which was 70 points hand release push-ups 10 meters 10 push-ups with 60 points sprint drag carry was a minute and 42 which is 96 points um i did five leg tucks which was seven d points and my two mile run was 20 minutes and 43 seconds yes 20 minutes 43 seconds which is 60 points got to be 21 minutes um for the two mile uh bad legs and pretty much bad cardio i do not have good cardio i was a short distance sprinter long distance i freaking hate it um they only had yeah like i said they only had to do the bare minimum on the hand release push-ups and the maximum deadlift the next day we did clc which is the i forget what i mean uh it's the confidence obstacle course um treadwell tower was still in construction so unfortunately we didn't do treadwear tower um is and the day after that was the gas chamber okay when we did the clc we had a competition after that and my platoon was um i didn't put that in like my little essay summary but i haven't written down here but um pretty much all our courses that we did we had competitions after that and uh my platoon first platoon one clc um the day after that was a gas chamber it wasn't that bad uh so when i went through the gas chamber pretty much uh that would kind of have you actually you know do exercising and stuff you know make you sweat a little bit try to get your lawns and stuff working and they're going to be preparing the gas in another room so you have the cold side and you have the hot side um not gonna spoil too much or say too much because you know there are some things that i know that i can't say and there are some things that i don't know if i can or cannot say but you will be able to see a lot of videos on this stuff on youtube but uh yeah so pretty much they had us doing this and that man when they let me take my mask off they're gonna make it take a mask off at the end and they might have you do different things or try to say different things i try to maybe say the soldier's creed so pull the mask off i am going to and it just shoved me right off the throat um it really is not that bad a lot of people are kind of scared when they go through it i was kind of nervous at first but when i was actually going through with it and then when i finished i actually wanted to go back through it again but i wasn't going to do that to myself um let's see we rocked two miles back to the battery after that on the fourth we went to the electronic weapons range i forgot exactly what it's called est i think or something like that um pretty much they it's a simulator on how you would you know shoot when you go out to the actual weapons range um it's pretty much just computerized and everything go just so you can kind of keep the feel of it before you actually get out there and go shoot um today after that on the fifth we run five miles to the hammer uh sleep wasn't until 1am and we slept without tents so for whatever reason you know there was a different battery out there and uh they were using tents but my battery does not use tents um so pretty much we just had to go out there sleeping in sleeping bags and it was cold cold cold i freaking hate the cold and i'm probably going to reiterate that i hate the freaking cup um let's see um we did our training the next day then we worked back so we were only there for like two days like again they don't they shorten everything so we have like two days um on the eighth we went to the fire range but it was so cold that the targets were frozen and the drills artists couldn't mark them so um i want to say third platoon maybe one platoon went out there they started to shoot but we you know the targets were frozen and everything and so they couldn't the drizzle couldn't group and zero and everything well we were just trying to group that day i believe but they couldn't mark the target because they're frozen so we wound up actually leaving like an hour or two after just getting there and we were sitting outside in a tent or trying to stay warm oh let's see [Music] the next day was the uh beginning of the snowstorm we had snow from the 10th to about the 20th on the 20th we rupped three miles around the regrade then we showed the snow on the 23rd was group zero but it was so cold and we left the 24th they had to keep the entire better group to zero maybe only eight actually um we had qualifications demand next day and we rushed seven and a half miles there artillery was fire mortals over here so the whole time we're out there shooting they're out there shooting live rounds you know over our heads and everything it's pretty fun and everything just handy explosions and stuff oh oh and then if i didn't you know i didn't say this i'm a 94 mic readout repair so um this is pure artillery base oh i'm in ordinance so yeah kind of dealing with demolition but it's not i'm not going to spoil anything oh so on the 26th we were up to the annual we came back on the 28th and on march 1st we did the third slt we missed the second aclt due to the snow so it snowed and we missed two weeks of training oh my maximum dead lift was 280 pounds 86 points sprint uh no let's stay in the power throw 7.8 meters 69 points hand release push-ups i did 41 81 points sprint drag carrier was two minutes and two seconds 78 points led tux i did 11 484 points two mile run 20 minutes 36 seconds for 61 points and sprint and drag carry as hell i'm trying to tell you that sprint jack carrick is hell because once you start to drag the dang on weights across just be prepared because my legs feel like noodles uh on march 2nd hand grenades so that's where i stopped actually writing and there and onto my journal uh march 4th was when we did the butter team live five practice and we went back to that's a hall where i went back to the best at hard to finish some of my process and you know that when we finished with the hand grenades oh okay so i want to say this was right before blue phases right before blue phase and uh a lot of our tourist artists were moving to different um [Music] batteries um the exact reason is unknown i mean they were saying it was a lot of stuff going around so they're kind of moving drizzards just trying to see if they can fix some situations that were going on and one of my junior stars that was leaving uh he just you know came out of nowhere you know he talked to us for a minute then you know all we heard was half right face and he was like when i say down you say peanut butter when i say look you say jelly and uh he was explaining to us you know afterwards that peanut butter and jelly it's his favorite sandwich which is my favorite sandwich um the next day marshfield was when we actually did the butter team live fire uh march 6 was when we did the final evaluation medical trend lanes were easy um let's see we did squad on squad tactics and uh my squad were the ambushers um we did hand signals gas masks just listening radios oh march 7th was when we got our platoon clothing and everything you know all this stuff so first platoon pit bulls that's a battery first battalion for the fuel artillery uh it's pretty much a chill day we ain't gonna do nothing uh march 9th we worked 11 and a half miles to the ford she was pretty much laid back we didn't do much we had some training here and there and everything we recollecting the hair mountain forge training was laid back the wind was howling all day and night we had nick at night like sucked ass it really wasn't nick at night night without the fire real live fire oh march 10th uh woke up about 4am left around five right about three miles to shoot range and a stress shoot everything and again right surely we shooting over our heads the next day we woke up training about 7 7 30 we got ready for the final rough what's the gauntlet everything apologize just look that up and uh the big time pass you know we got our march 12th friday we cleaned all our cif equipment you ready to turn it in we did the warrior meal and uh i freaking got kobe so popped up positive for code i went to task force phoenix and threw the chills there for like 10 days first four days didn't have off on you know probably got our phones it was like prison until we got our phones pretty much laid backs on my phone and everything graduation was on march 19th so because i was at task force i didn't actually walk across the stage but could have completed all the requirements and so still graduated oh i mean that was pretty much kind of it then um through that is later i left and now i'm here across the tracks still there for still in my ait 10 months so i'm going to be here for a while i'm supposed to start classes monday don't know she's got to wait to see and uh don't have my car but because my ait is more than 20 weeks i would be allowed to get my car once i face up to phase five plus which is probably gonna take some time don't know but hopefully don't take long but pretty much for sale it's freaking windy all day every day and i'm tired of it i'm sick tired of pretty much throwing all the passion training from about january 20 10 was below 40 almost all day every day and it got to like below 10 degrees i ain't never experienced nothing like that there in my life when i tell you it's freaking rips but don't train it out there never it freaking sucked but overall it's pretty much a cool place pretty much just depend on your dread starts right there you get here just do what you told don't play around know when to play we went to be serious because there were some people an opportunity that was childish they didn't want to listen they just play it all the time you try to talk to them in a cool manner tell them calm down and it just makes it worse and i heard that while i was a task force they really got f'ed up because they were being stupid but i mean it's pretty chill pretty laid back in my ait over here is pretty cheery pretty laid back so it's might be the most laid back at it so i've heard and uh supposedly it's supposed to have the highest graduation rate and all of the basis so i've been tugged but eventually when i get my car out here i'll be able to hopefully start making more videos and everything get back to making car videos i might have both of my cars here you know right now yeah 86 is my homeboy is always where the georgia's gonna pick it up to go take it back home and uh i'm gonna try to see if he can get a better running because i had a power issue right before i came i never got it solved but hopefully he'll be able to get that squad away and then whenever i do get my cars up here everything to be sick but until then every now and then i might have more content i should have more videos on my phone i gotta go through it from my videos and if i got some stuff to upload then that's just gonna be what i'm gonna do until i actually get my cards up here but until then
