BASIC TRAINING VIETNAM ERA Part 1

Do you remember when you took basic training?

This is a 3-part documentary about army basic combat training during the Vietnam era. In those days, the military draft was still around, and every young man had to serve unless he got a deferment. I recall that my company was a lot tougher than the one shown here, but the activities that the soldiers engage in were about the same.

This was filmed at Fort Ord, CA, but because of the massive buildup for the Vietnam War, basic training was actually carried on at a great number of military installations throughout the U.S. After graduation from basic training, many men received a two-week leave, and then were transferred to another post or unit for advanced training (AIT).

Based on a remark in an unedited version of this program, the final day of this unit's training cycle was on a Friday, September 23rd. That might mean it was filmed in 1966.

Perhaps this video will bring back some memories for you !
