I highly fucking doubt that, and if it did happen it was for a non-combat m.o.s. Do you really think combat related go through the same basic training as a cook or laundry specialist? They are twice as long for a reason.
He said basic training not AIT.
I was referring to bct, not ait. Point being that combat roles go through OSUT (One Station Unit Training) which is 4 months, not bct which is 2 months. Combat mos’s do not go to ait. It’s called relaxin Jackson for a reason. All combat troops are now trained in Fort benning.
Great. What is your point? "I highly doubt that"... Okay well I went to Jackson in the mid 2000's. We weren't allowed cell phones and had to do all kinds of PT, unlike what OP said his nephew went through at the same place I was at.
My point is, I highly doubt it. His anecdotal account of current standards in BCT in regards to no PT and basic marksmanship don’t pass muster. You served, albeit clearly a POG, you should be able to read through that shit. He’s sensationalizing that our military is under trained, while clearly referring some non-combat mos.
