Thanks for making these videos man. I’m prior USAF commissioning into Army in January2020. Your videos are helpful keep it up. There’s not a lot of Army Officer youtubers so it’s good to see some content out there.
Sean Richardson I appreciate you supporting my channel & you’re absolutely right. There aren’t many Army Officers who vlog. I wish their were more but hey 🤷🏾♂️. Congrats on your upcoming commissioning
@@Jabarikjay Is it harder to go to try out for those programs or go to ranger school as a transportation officer than if you were infantry officer or something in more combat arms?
Hello Sir! I’m an ROTC cadet and looking into branching Transportation as one of my top choices. What tips do you recommend before interviewing? Thanks.
Congratulations! I wasn’t aware they were having cadets interview before you assess. Be confident, talk about what you want to do in your career and your aspirations, schools you want to attend, etc. If you’re prior service speak on that as well.
Very likely. I was an 88H (stevedore/equipment operator in a crane unit), stationed in Ft. Eustis, VA. back in '01-'04. We were deployed to Kuwait/Iraq in '03. I was in the reserves ('99-'01) prior to going active duty, and my old reserve unit took over as we were coming home, (I was going to the Middle East no matter what). I helped train my reserve unit to take over as we were getting ready to rotate out. I enjoyed my time in Transportation.
They work mostly in 21-man Movement Control Teams. I have some on my Brigade Support Operations Transportation Operations Branch. They coordinate movement of units, inspect equipment and help units move their equipment and personnel. They also work out of different deployment nodes with civilians from SDDC and AFSBN across all transportation modes, ships, planes, rail, trucks.
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 types of strategic support units with lots of Army civilians that link the industrial base to Army. You can Google them, army field support battalion and surface deployment distribution command that fall under big agencies like Defense Logistics Agency and US Transportation Command...so as a 88N you’ll be very marketable even after the Army and have career opportunities.
I thought US Army have so many billets,that officers are often guranteed the chance to train for the 1st choice AOC? Thought this was one of the benefits over Marine Corps
Nyles Smith II I did not but you definitely can. All LOG branches are the same anyway. I’m satisfied so far with my choice but I didn’t wanna add more years to my service when I haven’t even worked in the field to know if I’ll like it. Remember you can always branch transfer
JabarikJay facts, that’s the smart thing to do too, that ways your not stuck if u don’t like it! Youll probably get out making more in the civilian world with your Logistics Officer experience anyway.

Lol when are you going to basic? Let me know how it goes being prior AF.
Honk Honkler January. And I’m expecting to get hassled more but I don’t care.
JabarikJay It is possible to obtain either CDL licenses A or B?
They made u go to basic??? I'm prior AF in Army ROTC and I had the option to go.
Can you go to SFAS or RASP as a transportation officer and be in one of those units?
@@RS-uy9pq Yes

So when you said they called and said “you’re active duty” didnt you already apply to be active duty officer?
I had to compete for active duty.
Is it true that Transportation is the most Dangerous Branch?

God does things on his terms. You're where you're supposed to be and you're happy😉🙌🏾🙏🏾 #WhenIneDoorCloses😇😇😇🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thank you
@@Jabarikjay welcome Love❤️
Informative! Great video.
Matthew Pough thank you!!
How did you intern at an agency that doesn’t exist
It actually does exist though, you gotta believe me 😁
What is the likelihood of getting deployed to a combat zone in the transportation branch?
Holden Mitchell Very likely, every unit has ground vehicles and needs transportation. You can literally go to any unit.
JabarikJay Thanks! While I do like the idea of going combat arms like armor or artillery I can’t help but keeping Transportation a open option

What does a Transportation Management Coordinator (88N) do exactly?
They work mostly in 21-man Movement Control Teams. I have some on my Brigade Support Operations Transportation Operations Branch. They coordinate movement of units, inspect equipment and help units move their equipment and personnel. They also work out of different deployment nodes with civilians from SDDC and AFSBN across all transportation modes, ships, planes, rail, trucks.
@@luvslogistics1725 Thank you but what is SDDC or AFBSN?

@@luvslogistics1725 Nice!
🎥 I was thinking of using this job to get into filmmaking logistics.
🙇 Thanks!
Took me a year to respond lol my bad but I see your question was already answered
Do you guys work on vehicles, aircraft and trains?
In my unit we just work on ground vehicles. The aviators have their own mechanics for their aircrafts
I thought US Army have so many billets,that officers are often guranteed the chance to train for the 1st choice AOC? Thought this was one of the benefits over Marine Corps
Lol I wish, the Army is full of Officers stuck in a branch that they do not want to be in and that’s the truth.
Starting to think i need to not do navy ocs and try army logistics
It’s not that bad of a gig
Thanks for this info. Congrats on commissioning! I'm pursuing interservice transfer looking into Armor. GOMAB
Cuz it’s the best branch
Nothing moves without transportation!
How long you in korea?
Honk Honkler as permanent party I’ll be here for a year
How do they treat POC out there?
Lucky you didn't get infantry
Honk Honkler besides going to the field constantly I honestly think I’d enjoy it somewhat.
So you didnt choose it. it was what was on offer
It was my 3rd choice
Did you ADSO for MP and QM?
Nyles Smith II I did not but you definitely can. All LOG branches are the same anyway. I’m satisfied so far with my choice but I didn’t wanna add more years to my service when I haven’t even worked in the field to know if I’ll like it. Remember you can always branch transfer
