Do they still have bayonet training in the military? I did with an M-14 in 1964.

The Army didn't have it when i was in BCT in 76.

They did in 1998 at Ft Leonardwood

Had it there in 85.

We had it in 1967 at Fort Lewis. We trained with M-14s.

Did in the marine corps in '75 and ROTC in '87.

I did it in 1996 BCT and I BELIEVE they still do.

Depends where you go , MOS and if they have any extra time. Most POG BCT's won't waste the time I went in.....what 2016 I think and we didn't even do combatives

I'm the best POG you'll ever meet. Commo4life

We used Pugil sticks in ‘73

Do the modern weapons still have a bayonet attachment?

We did too. But, we also used bayonets an a training course with dummies in basic and AIT.

Absolutely. I had a fixed bayonet in Iraq.

We did It In 1960.

Yep in 1964 USMC San Diego, pugil sticks, knock the crap out of each untill DI said killing blow with pugil

I was heck on wheels with the pugil stick. When they needed a demo they called on the beav.

Carried the 249 in Iraq and m16 w/ 203 in Afghanistan was enough weight lol left the bayonet in the ruck or on the vest

Didn't you guys use muskets way back then? The one with the percussion caps I hear.

They had it at Benning in '78.

Dang, I missed out. I guess they figured a tank mechanic didn't need to know how to use a bayonet.

We did have to qualify with M16's, the M60 and hand grenades.
