Easiest $200 a month I ever made especially from March - June where we did nothing but online drills and even until now where we only have one day drills and no PT lol
I actually signed a national guard contract a few months ago. Currently sitting at Fort Benning, in quarantine 😂 The RSP program is amazing, atleast for me.
@@TEAMSWARTZ I wish I would of paid more attention to the RSP, all my drill weekend but 1 where online. Wish I would of pre memorized The Soliders Creed, Army Song, and etc.
Had my first RSP drill last month, really made realize I need to work out more! I'm not like super skinny but I am a little under average. I was great at the running, but man do I need to work on my upper body! Could only do around 30 pushups, 45 sit ups, but I did the 2 mile in less than 16 minutes. I don't ship till July 7th, 2021, so I have 11 months to get in shape at least
Outstanding and not bad for your first weekend! That’s pretty damn good actually. You’ll have plenty of time to get ready but it sounds like you did the old APFT. They APFT is dead lol.

SFC, I am suppose to be in RSP and my recruiter said I didn’t have to go...obviously they were wrong. She did not give me any orders, so my employer will not excuse my absences. Do you usually give out duty orders to recruits in RSP so they can be excused from their professions?
You’re Recruiter or RSP NCO can supply you a memorandum verifying you in fact conducted military duty for your drill weekend. Sounds to me your recruiter tried to hook you up without going before running it through their leadership. By Federal Law your civilian Employer needs to adjust their schedule around your drill schedule. I’d suggest you get a copy of your RSP Drill Schedule and provide it to your employer so that they can schedule your work days around your drill schedule. If your company has an HR Department, they know the law. Managers more often don’t know the law and view it as a hassle and do not understand. Reach out to your recruiter and get the memo stating your future drill date in question and possible arrange a phone call. I’d highly suggest emailing your drill schedule to your civilian company and hand deliver a hard copy when you see them. That way you have a digital footprint as evidence you provided it. Small mom and pop shops that don’t have an HR Department most definitely don’t understand the law around military duty. You won’t get orders for drill weekends but you can def get a memo verifying the dates you conducted your duty with us. Hope this helps and if you have more questions, DM me on Instagram @TeamSwartz
To join the Guard you must be at least 17yro, High School Junior and on track to graduate. For 31B they’ll need the line score for that MOS, US Citizen, at least a learners permit and obtain a drivers license prior to shipping to OSUT for 31B.

You’ve got this! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 and Congratulations on your enlistment!!
My Recruiter told me that Whenever you sign your contract with the National Gaurd and you start drilling at RSP that your contract duration starts, is this true?
@@anademy8690 Starts the day you sign your contract. 🙏🏽 Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 NATIONAL GUARD STRAIGHT, NO LIES: ruclips.net/video/KS5a7TOzGbM/видео.html&feature=share&si=EMSIkaIECMiOmarE6JChQQ ARMY CONTRACTS EXPOSED: ruclips.net/video/9jrioFJSf1M/видео.html

So my son will only get to do two rsp weekends before he leaves to basic. So will he have to just do one more before he reports to his unit when he gets back from basic?
What happens if you fail height and weight for rsp I swore in about 2 weeks ago and kind of went buck wild and gained weight My ship out date is next year in July Will i get i get in trouble for being over weight during rsp ?
You’ll have to be within the standard 30-45 days prior to your ship date. Sounds like you’ll have plenty of time but don’t sleep on it.

So I’m in the middle of trying to enlist right now and I’m getting a waiver for a misdemeanor drug possession, is it normal for me to have to hand write a letter explaining the incident and pretty much copping a plea to the army as to why I should still be let in as well as getting 3 hand written character references 1 being from my current employer?
@@TEAMSWARTZ Your videos are super informative and helpful! Really made me feel comfortable setting up a meeting with a recruiter for this Wednesday here in GA. Thanks for the great content!!
DM me @TeamSwartz or Shoot me a Text “Tony Boss” to 917-576-3529. In a perfect world less than 2 weeks to get enlisted and 2-8 weeks to get into training.
Some states do but we don’t in NY. By the time they are ordered, received... you’re already in training. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
I’ve only seen this authorized once in my 20yrs of recruiting and that was because a 17yro’s mother became furious because she only agreed he’d join only if he didn’t choose a combat MOS. Once finding this out, she contacted everyone she could to stir up a ruckus and ultimately got them to change his MOS to a non-combat job. If you’ve already signed a contract, you’ll have to wait until the middle or end of your contract to negotiate a reclass to a new MOS. Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Never heard of that but in my 19yrs in so far, only way you miss training for AIT is through the CASP (Civilian Acquired Skills Program) and that’s it.
I know you get pts at rsp but when I arrived at 30th ag there were a few gaurdsmen arriving already in ocps are ocps something that they give you at an rsp? Also wandering because you get issued a cac Id so would you take the picture for that in a pt uniform?
Some states issue OCP’s at RSP and no you wouldn’t take a photo holding your CAC. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 BCT Photos are taken in OCP...
@@TEAMSWARTZ I was asking what wed be wearing to take the picture not if wed take a picture with it sorry for the bad dictation but thank you for the reply
Yes, you’ll retain your rank and you’ll participate in the RSP until you ship to training. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Welcome back!
Keep watching lol Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best!
Is it true that if you write a letter to the Mayor of the state showing interest in joining they'll send it to the POTUS and they'll answer back with a congratulations letter and that helps joinig??? Is it true???
@@TEAMSWARTZ The importance of not losing your blue book, water source, and rubber riffle. I also learned that if one person fails, we all fail and are punished accordingly. Then also the standard red phase stuff with SHARP, rank and insignia identification, drill and ceremony, etc.
Go through your RRRC and it’ll be smooth AF. If you get out and don’t get back in with 6mo from the ETS date from AD, you’ll have to go back to MEPS. Then you’re F’d! MROAD EXPLANATION: ruclips.net/video/q5dbSVlM8Ss/видео.html Go through your RRRC! DM me @TeamSwartz if you have more questions. Chances are I won’t see your response to this.

Hey Team Swartz. I have a few people that are interested in joining, They are a year or two above age. Can they get waivers? They are also currently FLEO's. If so can i have you contact info to pass it along. Thank you.
They’re over 35yro but below 40yro? They can pass the Test/Medical and submit an ETP (Exception to Policy) Age Waiver and if approved be able to join. When you say FLEO, you mean Florida Law Enforcement Officers?
QU-hEtIC- NYC New York Send them my way please and I’ll take care of them. If you’re in the NY Army National Guard and haven’t received the Recruiting medal yet, I’ll get you the NYSRM because all you need is one to enlist. No money involved but it’s a medal you can wear in your dress uniform.
No but expect it by the time you get to training if you don’t already have all shots required to be fully vaccinated… Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
No, uniforms and gear will be issued during BCT. Then the gear is returned after you successfully complete BCT. Gear is issued and returned during AIT and each unit of assignment. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Bea Soliven That would be State Specific. Not in NY unless they’re Battle Handoffs or soldiers who’ve completed their training and ready to move to their assigned units. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ so you said not usually, but in some videos I see that they have then in the pool doing activities called (water survival skill) is that a must that everyone in the RSP has to do?
Once your contract has been signed and scheduled for training, it’s extremely difficult to change your MOS. I’ve only seen and heard of an MOS change prior to training 1-2x in my 16+ years of recruiting. It’s going to have to be for a compelling reason. The one I’m for certain was changed is because the 17yro’s mother went ape shit lol. Sooooo, it can be done but highly unlikely. Worst case scenario if your unit won’t reclass you during your contract, at time of reenlistment you can negotiate a reclass and/or unit change. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
2yr max by federal law. Must ship out and/or be MOS Qualified with 2yrs. Must have compelling reasons to not ship out as scheduled or risk being discharged by your leadership. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ wow thanks so much for that helpful and quick response. I'm highly considering joining and doing 8 months or so of rsp before i graduate college.
@@TEAMSWARTZ I have been given the opportunity to come as a guest to rsp. I have a friend who is in rsp and an assistant coach who is in rsp (first week for me and both will be there). I will train with my friend for half of next year.
@@TEAMSWARTZ thank you drill sgt for all the content that helped me make a well informed decision to join lol it was a long process but now that I've lost 65 lbs and can pass the tape I can finally get the ball rolling
William Lindsey Which ones are you referencing specifically? Reserve/Guard do receive VA Benefits and if you’re referencing the VA Home/Small Business Loans you’ll need to do 6yrs part time to prequalify or do 6mo of Active Duty other than Basic Training, OSUT and AIT.
Not always. Some RSP sites will allow you if you’re otherwise eligible to join but will have you not conduct physical activities or sign a waiver to participate in PT or physical activities. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

To join the Guard you must be at least 17yro, High School Junior and on track to graduate. For 31B they’ll need the line score for that MOS, US Citizen, at least a learners permit and obtain a drivers license prior to shipping to OSUT for 31B. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
I may have missed this but how did you become a drill in the guard? I thought that only reserves and active could do that. Thanks in advance!
I got lucky! Some states send more but my colleague and I were the first two to go in our state!
@@TEAMSWARTZ was it angry cops??
The first drill this weekend just finished and passed meps, a little nervous
You’ve got this! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 and Congratulations on your enlistment!!
My Recruiter told me that Whenever you sign your contract with the National Gaurd and you start drilling at RSP that your contract duration starts, is this true?

Yes, Saturday and Sunday as described in the video but your recruiter will tell you if you’re sleeping over or going home. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

Hello stg. I have a question do you get swimming in the RSP and in the BCT?
Responded to the same question on this same video… Thanks a million!
@@TEAMSWARTZ but I watched this video and I didn't hear it. Can you pin it so I can see it?
I apparently an going to the top rated RSP in the country
Wølf Shadowhill Where is that?
Is height and weight checked on a monthly basis at every RSP drill, Drill Sergeant ?
Yes Every Month during RSP until you ship… Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
So my son will only get to do two rsp weekends before he leaves to basic. So will he have to just do one more before he reports to his unit when he gets back from basic?
At most locations, yes. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
What happens if you fail height and weight for rsp
I swore in about 2 weeks ago and kind of went buck wild and gained weight
My ship out date is next year in July
Will i get i get in trouble for being over weight during rsp ?
You’ll have to be within the standard 30-45 days prior to your ship date. Sounds like you’ll have plenty of time but don’t sleep on it. Get to work lol
You should expect to be counseled on your Ht&Wt.

So I’m in the middle of trying to enlist right now and I’m getting a waiver for a misdemeanor drug possession, is it normal for me to have to hand write a letter explaining the incident and pretty much copping a plea to the army as to why I should still be let in as well as getting 3 hand written character references 1 being from my current employer?
btw thanks so much for all the information you’re putting out there to all the people looking to enlist 🤙🏻
Perfectly Normal. Not doing so will ultimately will get you denied.

DM me @TeamSwartz or Shoot me a Text “Tony Boss” to 917-576-3529. In a perfect world less than 2 weeks to get enlisted and 2-8 weeks to get into training.

Hey sir, the recruits on rsp program can they change their mos before shipping to bct?
I’ve only seen this authorized once in my 20yrs of recruiting and that was because a 17yro’s mother became furious because she only agreed he’d join only if he didn’t choose a combat MOS. Once finding this out, she contacted everyone she could to stir up a ruckus and ultimately got them to change his MOS to a non-combat job. If you’ve already signed a contract, you’ll have to wait until the middle or end of your contract to negotiate a reclass to a new MOS. Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

When I was there we got to miss for events in high school such as baclorette, graduation and jrotc events, is that the case?
Never heard of that but in my 19yrs in so far, only way you miss training for AIT is through the CASP (Civilian Acquired Skills Program) and that’s it.
We do something similar where you can split your drill over two weekends I think in case there is a school related event

That depends on when you ship. Some people have as much as 12 or only 1.
Do they drug test at RSP
MEPS and BCT but you’re subjected to being tested at anytime within your career. DM me on Instagram @teamswartz if something’s in your system.
Is it true that if you write a letter to the Mayor of the state showing interest in joining they'll send it to the POTUS and they'll answer back with a congratulations letter and that helps joinig??? Is it true???
Mitchell Waters Ocasio No clue but if it works for you, please let me know!
Bruh, I got 9 months of rsp left
Lol. How do you like your RSP Program and which State are you in?
@@TEAMSWARTZ Indiana. I just had my red phase last week. It was great overall but just a long couple of days.
Benjamin von Werder Awesome and what did you take away from your Red Phase weekend? What did you learn?
@@TEAMSWARTZ The importance of not losing your blue book, water source, and rubber riffle. I also learned that if one person fails, we all fail and are punished accordingly. Then also the standard red phase stuff with SHARP, rank and insignia identification, drill and ceremony, etc.
Me too I ship out in July 🙃
Is the process coming from Active Duty Army, to National Guard a hastle?
Go through your RRRC and it’ll be smooth AF. If you get out and don’t get back in with 6mo from the ETS date from AD, you’ll have to go back to MEPS. Then you’re F’d!
MROAD EXPLANATION: ruclips.net/video/q5dbSVlM8Ss/видео.html

Hey Team Swartz. I have a few people that are interested in joining, They are a year or two above age. Can they get waivers? They are also currently FLEO's. If so can i have you contact info to pass it along. Thank you.
They’re over 35yro but below 40yro? They can pass the Test/Medical and submit an ETP (Exception to Policy) Age Waiver and if approved be able to join. When you say FLEO, you mean Florida Law Enforcement Officers?
@@TEAMSWARTZ . There are below 40, both physically fit. Sorry I was not very clear, current federal law enforcement.
QU-hEtIC- NYC New York Oh gotcha! In New York or another State?
@@TEAMSWARTZ . New York.
QU-hEtIC- NYC New York Send them my way please and I’ll take care of them. If you’re in the NY Army National Guard and haven’t received the Recruiting medal yet, I’ll get you the NYSRM because all you need is one to enlist. No money involved but it’s a medal you can wear in your dress uniform.
Do I need the COVID vaccine before my first RSP drill?
No but expect it by the time you get to training if you don’t already have all shots required to be fully vaccinated… Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Do you get any gear in rsp?
No, uniforms and gear will be issued during BCT. Then the gear is returned after you successfully complete BCT. Gear is issued and returned during AIT and each unit of assignment. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
I've been that I'm starting with blue phase first.? Is that right
I discuss the phases in the video but the last drill before you ship is Blue Phase
Do they already wear OCPs in RSP?
Bea Soliven That would be State Specific. Not in NY unless they’re Battle Handoffs or soldiers who’ve completed their training and ready to move to their assigned units. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Do you get swimming in the RSP?
Not usually but that’ll site or location specific. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ so you said not usually, but in some videos I see that they have then in the pool doing activities called (water survival skill) is that a must that everyone in the RSP has to do?

1. What is the proper way to asking to change your MOS?
2. How long do you have to wait to reclass?
3. Is it too late after I just sweared in?
Once your contract has been signed and scheduled for training, it’s extremely difficult to change your MOS. I’ve only seen and heard of an MOS change prior to training 1-2x in my 16+ years of recruiting. It’s going to have to be for a compelling reason. The one I’m for certain was changed is because the 17yro’s mother went ape shit lol. Sooooo, it can be done but highly unlikely. Worst case scenario if your unit won’t reclass you during your contract, at time of reenlistment you can negotiate a reclass and/or unit change. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

William Lindsey Which ones are you referencing specifically? Reserve/Guard do receive VA Benefits and if you’re referencing the VA Home/Small Business Loans you’ll need to do 6yrs part time to prequalify or do 6mo of Active Duty other than Basic Training, OSUT and AIT.
I need to sign the contract before i can go to the rsp?
