Are there differences in how hard basic training is at different locations (I'm going to Fort Sill)?

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL MSG Andrew White They may be able to answer your question as they are Drill Sergeants. It is supposed to be uniform no matter where you attend.

personally basic is not hard, no matter where you go, just stay motivated and have a positive attitude and you'll get through it.

Each base is the same, all training that has to be done is the same at each location. Main difference climate. Fort sill gets hot. Drink water

While they all share the same POI and should be enforcing the same standards, I will say from my experience that I could tell if a Soldier was trained at FLW, Sill or Benning or if they were a product of Ft. Jackson. Take it from there.

I graduated Fort Sill in December all of the bt sites teach and instill the same toughness and mentality to be a soldier I came from A1/19 and that's the premiere battery at Fort Sill. Just stay motivated deal with the trainees that want to be stupid take the smoking and look at it all as it is helping prepare you.
