U.S. Army Basic Combat Training Course – Fort Jackson SC Reviews

The actual museum was still closed due to Covid. Seeing the military vehicles on the outside was awesome.

I graduated from basic training herre in 1995. I'm from Minnesota so the heat was an issue. Also going through Basic training while dealing with ADHD without medication was a struggle. However, i enjoyed being part of our military.

Great place for family soldiers to see and view some history of the Army

This museum uncovers the history of basic combat training from WWI to the present. This museum provides a great overview of what Soldiers learn in basic training and is a great place to visit with current Soldiers or veterans. I find that a lot of the exhibits trigger memories for people who have experienced BCT which leads to some really neat conversations. Beware, the museum is located in Ft Jackson, so you will need a military ID to get past the base gates.

Is my dream to join the basic combat training one day

A great place to learn about Army basic combat training. Shows a historical overview of initial entry training. My 6 and 4 year olds loved the museum. The tanks on display outside are awesome. On the inside, there are many hands on and interactive exhibits. My son loved getting mad at the drill sergeant hologram.

I went here for basic training,Was a big mistake to send newbies from the States that border Canada here during the summer,I was here in July 1982,Was standing @ attention for over an hr,knees locked and the soldier standing next to be started weaving back an forth then fell flat on his face,No one moved as we thought he was faking! The Drill Sargent ran over and rolled him over checked him out an he was dead!Then they asked us who lives in a state that borders Canada,I raised my hand as I'm from Mn,they filled 3 bus loads and shipped us to fort Missory,lost in da woods,Thanks to the quick thinking of the Base Commander we were saved from the God forsaken Heat and servived basic training,I served for 27 years and was in the Gulf War,I'm disabled now! I still can never understand how y'all can breath down there!

Very informative as to what tour soldier endures and learns. Great that it's free too. Lots to look at. Really loved it!

Y all should be ashamed of yourselves with SSG Pentland.

Very nice and numerous interactive displays even had a drill sergeant yelling via hologram which scared my son and hubby...the veteran and current soldier. Highly recommended.
