Dang, my Army career only lasted 27 minutes and Fittytwo seconds, I thought I could do better...
HowDoYouUseThe3Seashells?@ Care to explain? Please?
@@DiceDoothat's the length of the video
Chris Black@ .......... Thank you for clearing how much of a idiot I am
@Henrik Jagger damn
Damn man same. Lol
Wow... things in the Army now are much different than my time serving from '92 - '96. RUclips videos like this would have been handy back in the day, LOL. Thanks for taking the time to share what new soldiers might expect.
** TRY ? THE 80's * DUDE ! 1981/1985, HERE !!
This video is awesome man! So much content and information for future as well as current soldiers!
Thanks man!
I see you everywhere now 😂
I'd like to point out that I had a GED, scored barely passing on the asvab yet my GT score was 105, I served 8 yrs as a 67T reclassified 15T Combat Arms Support Blackhawk repairman and I also crew chief on the Blackhawk. I ripped after my initial contract of 6 yrs and did 2 more yrs to complete my total commitment to the Army so I would not have any inactive or ready reserve. I'm now 60 % service connected disabled. I forgot to mention I was in from Fed 2000-Apr 2008. Basic was B Co 2/47 at Ft. Benning
Old pension system was the main reason to make a career of it. I don't know why anyone would go beyond the period where you still have to reup with what you're describing.
OUTSTANDING Video Troop!!!! Wish I had this type of information when I joined back in 1985!! Great job as usual Chris!!
* I GOT OUT, IN 1985 ! 4 YEARS * E-5, HOME TO HAWAII ! * ALOHA ! *BRAH !
@@edwardnakagawa593
I was stationed with the 25th Inf. Div. at Schofield Barracks. It was Primo Brah!
i was told "the needs of the army" come first regardless of whatever m.o.s. u sign up for!! inda 80's!
Not all heroes wear capes...
My timeline went like this
2014: I enlisted as a reservist
2015: Graduated High school, basic and Ait
2015-2017: made the step to active then served in fort hood, promoted to sgt
2017-2020: pcsd to South Korea for a year. I was in my prime as a soldier when I got to this point I was killing it
2021-2022: my downfall years…fort Stewart, decided to get out after a really really bad ntc rotation and getting sick of what my unit was doing to me mentally now I’m back as a part timer in the national guard working insulation jobs just trying to find my place in life
I like to call it the rise and fall of SGT Hendrickson
I'm joining soon have any advice to avoid shitty situations like this
@@TryingToLoveInnaWorldOfHate yes stay out of fort Stewart at minimum stay away from anything involving 83rd cbrne battalion if there’s no avoiding it at minimum stay away from 51st cbrne company. They are never pleased treat everything as first priority you will not get anything done. If for someone reason you see a 1sg Rios, cpt lintner in that unit if for some ungodly reason you go there tell them I said “fuck you”
What’s it like being stationed in Korea as an army man?
@@hectorzeroni1088 fun! travel is cheap, the temples are beautiful, foods great and travel once you’re there is so cheap you can go from one side of Korea to to the other on just 40 to 50 bucks
You got promoted to Sergeant in just 3 years?
Leaving for the army this month 💪 lets go
Q.D Art good luck 😂
@@Journeyman1642 u laughing like. *ur going to go thru hell*
How are you doing now Q.D?
Well...how was it man.
How is it?
Thanks men.For all the information u give us appreciate it.
i cannot verbalize just how helpful your channel has been for me. Thank you
I stuck around for the whole video ... My son is thinking of enlisting in the army and I wanted to watch your channel to get info(Awesome Videos) One of my biggest regrets was not serving
Thank you for your service and Awesome channel Brotha!!
I kept raising my hand to ask a question and they thought I was volunteering so yrs later when I was still raising my hand they just thought I wanted them to follow me .
I'm mostly here to learn more about the Army. My step-dad is an army, some friends, and my boyfriend is Army. I have thought about it. I'm still on the fence.
Think of the benefits you AND your bf could get, but it’s all up to what you want. If you’re not all the way in don’t do it. Good luck in whatever you do!
It's been 4 years, did you end up enlisting?
@@FrauWilhelmKlink nope did not enlist 😅😂
@@Nugget2.0 What made you decide against it?
@@FrauWilhelmKlink some personal stuff had come up. Now I’m just waiting for my bf to get out soon. In like a year he leaves so holding down the fort till he returns. ☺️
I’ve spent weeks watching videos in anticipation of going. I’m going as MOS 17C when it’s available. I have to say this is hands down the best video on YT to watch if you need more info. I’m halfway in and he’s answered questions I didn’t even know I had. Thank you so much Sir, and thank you for your service.
How’s the 17C training going? It’s the MOS I’m looking at going when I enlist next year
@@shinykamon188 Well let's see. You can't say shit about it otherwise my battles will find this post and make fun of me for it. But it's been good. Expect a long AIT.
my last night as a civilian I spent the night in a hotel with the rest of the guys who was going to basic training the next day. They woke us up at 6 am had breakfast after that we loaded up on buses and they took us to the induction center to get our orders and our plane tickets and after that loaded back on the bus again and it took us to the airport. This was on a Friday we didn't get to Lawton, OK till Saturday afternoon with all of the miss flights. From there a shuttle service tookus from the airport to the reception station at Fort Sill and that where it all begins.
Johnny mahsrow i never knew you can ship out on a Friday
** RETIREMENT ? THATS THE HARDEST THING I COULD DO ! ONE ENLISTMENT,WAS ENOUGH !
I got in without GED or Diploma, but I had to score higher on the ASVAB. Also only for the reserves.
This is great! I've admired the regiment lifestyle for years.
Hey man, I really enjoy your videos. I plan on enlisting and your videos really help me better understand what I'm getting into.
Hi Chris! Hope you're having a easy Friday. And have a good weekend🤙🤠
16S 1983-1986. The ADA units I was in went to the field twice a year for three weeks at a time. Once in summer, once in winter.
Thank you for the break down and explaining everything. It was easy to understand. :)
Excellent video. Very informative. Love your videos. They've been very helpful. I'll be starting my Army career soon, and appreciate your videos. Hooah!
How did you get the army symbol on your RUclips user name?
@@kingart6442I have it because I’m a member of the channel.
Thank you for the help
Who's going to fort Jackson?
Hows fort jackson?
Me in 2 weeks
Wow. The work you put into this and man it was a great job, thank you so much!
Why am I just now seeing this? This was so helpful
Shippin out june 1st 2021 as a 74D, these vidoes have helped me out so much. Thank you chris wish me luck😎
This channel is neat. I’m not at all interested in enlisting, but the whole process is really fun to learn about for some reason.
This is a great video with important information. 👍🏾👍🏾
Excellent step by step description!
How did you get the army symbol on your username???
I love that intro
Yes it's neat.
Yo I REALLY want to enlist in the Army but ive had a waiver for my highscool discipline. Ive never been expelled nor have a bad record but ive had this waiver for about 3 months now. Do you think I'll be accepted?
most likely yes.
@@macburger5026 that true.
Another interest process...when I was halfway through college, I submitted a WOFT ("High school to flight school") packet with the National Guard. Was a weird mix of both. Started directly with a dedicated warrant officer recruiter, taking appropriate tests, while simultaneously also dealing with a local enlisted recruiter for ASVAB and traditional paperwork. MOS would've been 09W, with a normal departure and basic training process. I believe it comes with an automatic promotion to E5 or E6 but without formal NCO status. Unfortunately the local recruitment command reneged on letting people ship out as 09W and it never happened, but is cool to know about since I think it's talked about less
Thank you, for uploading this video, it sure helps me to understand what my future would looks like.
I enlisted in the MN army national guard as a junior in high school through the split ops option, meaning I did basic training between my junior and senior year
on the plane heading to benning now
how was it
@Matt Gonsalves How was it?
Most underrated RUclips chanel on RUclips
Thanks!!
Do a video on Cutoff Scores for promotions to Sgt and SSG.
What the difference between veteran vs retired?
Retirement comes with a pension
That's like asking what's the difference between a dog and a animal
Retirement: Typically 20 years or more of service, unless retiring under a special, temporary authority like 15-19 year retirement or medical retirement at any time after entry level (180 days or more of service). Comes with a pension and benefits (medical, commissary, BX, etc.) and veterans benefits. Veteran: Has served beyond the entry level (180 days or more of service) but under 20 years. Receives veterans benefits. Both retirement and veteran categories can receive veterans disability benefits, where/when eligible. Recent changes in law have also enabled veterans to access and use base facilities (commissary, BX, etc.). I don't recall if it is related to disability level or not. I believe all veterans can now use the online BX.
Awesome man ! Super informative . Working on my Highschool Diploma than hoping to get accepted for some waivers.
Great video you should do an officer edition
The ultimate prize is the DD214!!
Can you be a National Guard ROTC???
If you are NG you can be deployed if your unit is, right??
Thanks.
The ROTC not sure but yes on deployment
In the Nation Guard yes but the second you sign your contract for your commissioning process NO you can't be deployed your status moves to Non-deployable. This contracting process begins around your MS2 year depending on credit hours. If you want to know more google US Army National Cadet Command.
Hey Chris, got a question for you. You said once you move to indefinite, "you're just riding out needs of the Army." Does that mean they can change your MOS on you? Or does it just mean you have almost no control over what you do within your MOS? (When I say 'control' I mean being able to do things like request certain duty stations.)
Hey chris can you do a video on 91B and 68W? Im thinking of joining amd those are the 2 MOSs im torn between, i used to work in the medical field and ive currently done 4 years of trade school for automechanics and work at a dealership. Also potentially the paths those 2 MOSs can take would be amazing like ranger school, airborne, special forces, etc
91b is easier than 68w, I'm a 13b and know a few people who failed 68w test and got stuck doing a shittier mos. If I were you I'd be a 91b
Hey Mr Chaos! I like your channel and appreciate your feedback. The last one I saw was about getting rid of shark week. I couldn’t see anything beyond these little boys wearing masks below their noses. 😜😳
Going back 1972 2 years was the draft friends of mine that stood got out 20 years now that's no longer an option
My advice is that it’s best not to get stuck to one job. Make a list of top five jobs that you would be Able to classify and do your research on each one and what other jobs are similarly the listed ones and that way you will have a lot of info for an informative decision.
Doesn't help when you hate physical labor indoors lol
Yea good advice. I would say go with the best job that requires the highest asvab score you can get, then start working your way down to a job that 1. Pays good and 2. Is in demand in the private sector when you get out. Also make sure whatever training and accreditations you pick up in service transfer to the private sector and dont require additional years of college, unless of course you dont mind that and plan to use the GI bill to fulfill that.
The needs of the Army (military) come first once you take the ASVA check your scores compare to the job( MOs) you want (Dont sweat in and tell them that and stand your ground ) the recruiter has quota to fill ( be mindful of this) When they show you the MOS description make sure it is on a official website and documents. Then when the school is available (A.I.T.) . Read all documents!!
Hey Chris this is PFC Quemado I'm going to JRTC tomorrow do u think u could do a video on this pre deployment training and 9 month rotation deployments appreciate it thanks
How my timeline went:
1997: Talked with the recruiter and decided I wanted to join
2009: graduated college and ROTC
2009-2012: Served at Ft. Campbell, promoted to 1st Lt
2012: Re-enlisted for an additional 3 years
2012-2014: Served in USAG Stuttgart, Germany
2015: re-enlisted for two more years
2015-2017: Served in Joint base Lewis-McChord, promoted to Captain
October 2017: Left the army as the former leader of Company C, 2nd Battalion 23rd Infantry
Edit: Spelling
Tomahawks sir
Do combat medics get a bonus for reinlististing
I actually like some of these longer videos.
I’m 29 thinking of joining
Good job bro well explained
I've been out for a few years. But don't NCO's still have handler's at the Pentagon?
Thank you for everything
Hey!! Loving your videos! I do have a quick question. I enlisted in the National Guard as a 68w. I’ve been out of AIT for 2 months now and been to drill twice already. However, I sort of regret joining the Guard and want to do active. I feel like Active is more for me. I am taking advantage of the GI Bill (going back to college next month).. What is the process to switch over if possible? Thank you so much
What would you think is best for me? Try to go active now or maybe do ROTC and go active as an officer?
Steven Mena You need your command to sign off on a Conditional Release for you to go Active Duty. How long until you’re IRR? They very well may not sign off until then unless they’re over strength on Medics or something. They put you through basic and AIT and they’re expecting you to serve - it’s different funding between the big army and the guard so even if you going active is “net gain for the military” they still might not wanna let you go, but when you’re IRR the chances improve. Anyway if it’s what you wanna do get the paperwork started ASAP because this process takes a long time even if your command is on board with releasing you.
Edit: However, like you said, you definitely might want to put some thought in to staying in the Guard and finishing your education before going active in order to earn a commission. Learn about what it’s like to be an officer and how that differs from the enlisted lifestyle. Some people that are qualified to be officers still choose not to be.
You would need to talk to your leadership about moving to active. From what I understand it can sometimes be difficult because they have to release you from your unit to active and some are strict on that and will make you wait till the end of your contract to re-enlist for it.
Do ROTC. You get your degree and you get more money both in college and as an officer later.
Could you do a video on the 35W MOS please, I can't find anything too useful elsewhere online
I'm well beyond retirement age, and I have this recurring dream that I'm back in barracks shinning my boots and everything else. Anyone hear any strange rumors lately?
Do they have to pay a fee when they retired the army
Hi
Smart video Idea.
Medical mos in hospitals dont get weekends off
What about other schools? Like airborne, ranger , air assault?
Great info. I go to MEPS August 12
Tony T Why such a far away date bitch?
question..what separates the army from the air force? i mean opportunities that'd make anyone go for army over air force
I picked the army over the air force because i wanted to do army shit and have job guarantee. Air force is great if you value quality of life and wanna be as close to a civilian job as possible and not shoot guns or anything. I love the schools the army offers and hope i can go to some of them. Plus, i just wanted to be a soldier. Not a Airman
@@macburger5026 that's fine i like being out in the desert. im no pussy so i aint doin chair force.
@@macburger5026 well another thing is the air force doesn't give people attention. Yea they're not in need like the army but still. So many people choose another branch just due to the fact that the air force recruiters don't give a damn unless you have a degree or "fight" to talk to them. Thats a secondary reason why i joined the army.
@@macburger5026 dude i seen some idiots that got accepted into the air force..u just gotta be lucky wit a recruiter. each recruiter has their own standard of asvab and even then if u pass they might not call u. i dont get why u hate on the army so much like why would u join a branch u don't respect? u coulda joined the navy at least. i hear navy guys hate their lives too. i got a friend that is tired of chippin paint all day. some other dude told me the food wasnt all that great. i kno what ur gonna say oh but u get to go to some cool ports well some people dont like being on a ship in tight quarters surround by men for 8 months. i wanna join the army to get a real military experience and do what others dont wanna do. immature people are everywhere u go.. every point u made sounds to me like u couldnt cut it in the army and u had a hard time adjusting to army life.
@@macburger5026 the point of the military is to serve and prepare you for war. If u wanna stay at 5 star hotels and with AC and have your own bedroom and cable along with a tv that's what the chair force is for. Listen we all got preferences on what we want to get out of the military. I hope to become an avionic mechanic. A lot of people's experiences differ depending on their MOS. Couple of buds of mine got stationed on air force bases. If you're infantry expect to be out in the field. I am fully aware we do more physical work than other branches and pretty soon our PT test will change. That still ain't stoppin me from joining.
So do soldiers have to get new gear for each new PCS or can they bring the gear from the previous PCS?
They will usually keep it when it's issued at your first duty station and take it with you to each location after that. It use to be that you turned it in before you did a PCS but they don't do it that way anymore.
Amazing video man, im thinking of being a infatry in the army or bravo and this helps alot
Wassup Chris
Can you do a video on more national guard reserve side of it ?
Great briefing
I'm heading to area 51 y'all want something??
Get me an alien
Use the back entrance if you are serious
Pet alien
Find my dad
A taco would be nice , crunchy, not soft . :3
Can you make an MOS video about 92R ? I enlisted and I would like to have more of an indepth look into it
emilio calvente you fucked up bud
What's 92r?
Parachute rigger it’s ok just a demanding job it’s ok some people hate it though
Can you have personal weapons mailed or how does that all work
are they allowed to deny you if your over 30 years
Has the Notification Platoon reached Company level, yet?
SOMEWHERE!!! NOT SOMEWHERES
I had Basic Training at Fort Sill and then AIT at Fort Bliss.. it was a big contrast. I spent most of my non-deployed part of my Career in Bliss.. I guess I was lucky since I didn't have to move my family
Great Video
So does OSUT follow the same 10 weeks as normal basic and then change up or is it different from the start?
It’s different for each MOS. It’s all a combination of basic trading with a little more and also the job training all together. How that is done depends on the MOS. And the length of OSUT also depends on the MOS.
I am 24 and of course need to get in shape, you think it is to late to join the army?
Nope. Max age for joining is 35. So you are still good.
I joined at 24 and my first day at reception was also my 25th b day
@@christopherchaos You really suggest going in at 25 being enlisted? I also need to lose like 20 pounds, which I am working on
@@jusslookin9826 Christopher Chaos You really suggest going in at 25 being enlisted? I also need to lose like 20 pounds, which I am working on
My friend retired with just short of 15 years in how did he do that
You could do that if it's for medical reasons.
if you are an E5 in the Army and you switch to the Navy, do you have to start over as an E1?
Depends on how long you wait to switch branches. If it was right away or in like less than a year you would likely stay an E5 but the more time that passes between going back it the more of a chance you loose some rank.
Whats is typical day for 88M
pretty sure he made a video on that exact topic
What about for officers
** EDUCATION, READING,WRITING,MATH, * IF YOU WANT TO GET AHEAD ? THESE,ARE *IMPORTANT ! * TRUST * ME ! *ALSO ? BE READY TO TAKE ALOT OF TESTS ! THE ARMY, IS A TEST, ALWAYS !
how often do you see combat as active duty
What happens if a SIT doesn’t pass the PT test ?
mac burger thank you
Notification platoon
* REPORT DIRECTLY ? SOUNDS LIKE * HELL !
I got stationed in Korea for my first duty station at carroll for the next year, I signed a 3 yr 25w contract when I go back to the states after my year here what do you think my chances are of deploying again to a possible combat zone ?? In my first contract which is all I plan on doing so far
Devin Hartlaub where you going? Stewart, Riley and bliss deploy a lot.
We’re commo so we chillen
Jordan S have no idea still haven’t got pcs orders yet
Devin Hartlaub keep your head up, fort Riley is fucking trash
* THINK POSITIVE DUDE !
If they deny your packet, can you stay till they will accept it?
Retirement packet? Yes. You would just keep doing your job in the Army and maybe re-submit your retirement packet in a year or what ever.
Wait so if I leave the army , I’m not allowed to come back? Like I leave for two years bc I gotta take care of a granny full time can I rejoin ?
You can come back in if you are still eligible but for something like being gone for 2 years you would have to do basic training all over again.
Oh okay thank you. Was curious. Aye man by the way I watch lots of your videos and they are very helpful so I appreciate it . Keep it going 💯
Who’s leaving for benning November 12th?
Does this apply for reserves too?
** DONT REMEMBER AND DONT CARE ! JUST GO THRU THIS *HELL ! AND FORGET ABOUT IT !
