Basic Training Grenade Training



Uploaded by: fenianguy
Video Description:
This is video that was recorded by a photography company in Columbus, Georgia while I was in US Army Basic Combat Training from August-Nov 1997. This company would record various bits of training and then rip of the Joes by charging them large quantities of hard-earned money for this bouncy, grainy video. Anyways....its good to have this record of what I was going through, though it is hardly all-encompassing. This video is of grenade training. Here, the trainers teach us proper grenade throwing technique in several positions. We are using practice grenades, which pop a few seconds after the pin is pulled and the spoon released. Good stuff...Hooah! More clips from my basic training to come.

Yep, they are practice. We didn't get to throw real ones until Infantry AIT and that was in a pit with a D.I. standing over our shoulder.

Practice grenades have a little det cord in them(little bang)& that whistling sound is b/c they have a hole in the bottom of them and are hollow. Real grenades do not. A real grenade is nothing like the movies. They will wake your ass up!
The grenade course was the drill sergeant's revenge as they got to knock you down immediately after you threw the grenade. I suppose they dont do that now. In my time we threw 2 real grenades in BCT.

Proper grip, thumb the clip, twist pull pin, throw! Yeah, we still do two live grenades.
grenades are solid ... ( 2 months ago by cavalier777)
grenades are solid metal with explosives inside. they're way too heavy to throw overhand like a baseball, and you want to arc it up to make the timing correct. you'd rather throw too far away than too close.... a baseball won't blow up and kill you if you toss too short.

The reason they aren't assholes is because they are range cadre not drill sergeants. Notice the pin on the sergeants uniform at 0:36. The range cadre do more instructing than discipling.
