    I did such a good job flying under the radar the drill sergeant asked me who I was and if I was there the whole time in like the last week of basic 😂.

      Simple, do everything they tell you and don’t mess up. The less you mess up, the less chance you’ll get called out. Also don’t volunteer for anything and don’t talk much.

    Here's the summary:
    1. Don't pack excessive stuff for basic training; only bring what you need.
    2. Get a good night's rest before leaving for reception, as the first day at basic training can be physically and mentally demanding.
    3. Be mindful of the people you associate with; avoid troublemakers, as drill sergeants observe and judge the group dynamics.
    4. Basic training is a temporary phase; keep in mind that everything has an end, which can help endure the challenging moments.
    5. There are two approaches to basic training: flying under the radar or embracing leadership roles. Choose what suits your goals and personality.
    6. If you want to be a leader, volunteer for leadership positions, score well in PT tests, and make it known that you are willing to take on responsibility.
    7. If you want to fly under the radar, avoid drawing attention to yourself, don't volunteer excessively, and try not to be in the spotlight.
    8. When dealing with homesickness, try not to dwell on it too much; focus on the tasks at hand and get immersed in the training, as it will help time pass more quickly.

    Basic Training is your first opportunity to excel with three weapons: Grenade, Rifle, Machinegun. Maximize on achieving EXPERT, these badges will be displayed on your Class A (dress uniform). The APFT is your greatest achievement during BT - strive for the highest score possible. Also, be proactive in developing personal soft skills COMMUNICATION is your strongest interaction skill. Leaders are recognized by being SELFLESS, helping your mates (those asking for it, and those struggling with tasks), do not worry about being seen as "goody two shoes" or "wanna be", your DI/DS will see it, recognise it, even refer other enlistees to you on case by case basis.

Jackson is at 0900 and I cannot sleep... the time leading up to this day went by so fast and since I am going into the Army as an active duty 25Q soldier, I already know that I will not see my family in what will be a very long time.

Been waiting about 2 months. Now granted 1 week was hurricane Irma and then last week up until yesterday he was in Puerto Rico. Now after the interview and it gets approved I’m off to MEPS and then it’s a departure date! But shootemup89 do a video on moral waiver and why they are needed and how long they take!

Ur days there literally are numbered. Just remember ur not alone and u will end up making some great friends along the way. AIT was pretty pleasant but the real army has been a great experience. And more importantly, never take anything that the nco’s say to heart. It’s a pressure tactic and nothing more 💯

    I ship out for basic and then OCS later this month, so I’m expecting the instructors will except more from me. My hope is that it will be like working as a C.O. in Corrections where sure I steer clear of the troublemakers and don’t trust my stuff and secrets with my co-workers, but we still can count on each other to work as a unit when it hits the fan. Wish me luck!

    Can you make a video how to get into airborne and rangers and such if airborne isnt in your contract

    • @aaotcis
      @aaotcis 6 лет назад

      Andrew St. Pierre Airborne and Air assault are voluntary schools, tabs that must be renewed yearly. Ranger is a disciplined school with specific job titles, something you talk to your recruiter. Of course, you can volunteer for Ranger school after serving for awhile, however, speaking a foreign language will give you an edge. It's preferred, too.

      I know this is a 3 year old video, but if anyone else reading this with same question - if it’s not in your contract, 99.99% of the time you won’t get jump school (or Air Assault). The only .01 percent of the time where you might get to volunteer during BCT to go to jump right afterwards if someone else wants to get out of jump and a slot opens. The Army couldn’t care less you want to jump, they just want slots filled. The fine print is “needs of the Army”, so if you have an open contract, it’s very hard to get jump right after BCT. Most likely you’ll have to wait until it’s time to re-enlist to get jump as an incentive to re-up. Bottom line, if you want something, get it in your contract! My first contract included jump, guaranteed 82nd, and ACF. After my first enlistment with the Army, I’d ultimately go into the Air Force, retiring from the Air Guard. Each time it came time to re-enlist, took advantage of incentives so had plenty of bonuses, student loan repayments, and even an F-16 ride.
