Hey man. Would you be able to tell about benefits for a married man who is joing the army (does the army pay during the basic training for housing, for hard time ? Etc)
First time out of AIT and I went into the office and stood at parade rest and I got told to relax and they handed me a box and I ended up holding it for 10+ minutes and I had a staff sergeant apologize for not seeing me holding it that long, it’s crazy how different it is.
My unit was in Germany. When I wasn't in the field, I had time to travel and party. It was one of the best times of my life.
What mos?
Leaving too fort sill in about 1 1/2 months and I been watching all your videos. Good content man. It’s been easing my mind
Love the channel Ben. Using th info religiously as I prep to join
Glad you make these videos man, I’m on HRAP right now but In 4 days I’ll be reporting to Fort Bliss, had no clue about what to do but after watching a couple of your videos it eased my mind
Thank you Sir!.. Enjoy your video 👍
My son is 18 and graduating basic training in 3 weeks. When he calls once a week he says it's hard. Then another week it's not so bad. He seems to be struggling and as a mom I just feel bad for my baby being so far away and I know that day to day it's hard.
I was in OSUT at Fort Benning. Well sometime in the middle of my cycle the name changed to Fort Moore. But honestly OSUT sucked. There were very strict rules and barely any freedom until around graduation time from AIT. My company basically got treated like we were in red phase the entire cycle. Now what’s even worse is that you’re stuck with the same people in the same place for 22 weeks basically, doing the exact same thing every single day. And then it wasn’t until I got to my duty station when I realized how completely different the “big army” is compared to how tradoc is. In the big army you have more freedom and nobody is there to hold your hand. Basic training and AIT just teaches you the basics on how to survive and live in the big army. Although some things are still the same.
I’m leaving for basic at fort Jackson in four days. I’m really anxious about it but I’m trying my best to keep a positive mindset.
I'm be leaving to Fort jackson November 8, I'm really excited and ready for it
Just graduated basic at sept 16 , honestly it’s NOT that bad. Just get used to waking up early 🙃
@@sung4117 same ! From fort Jackson ? If so what battalion?
Its easy, i even had the strictest company youll be fine. I just graduated, if you have any questions I got you!

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I served in several bad units where they would screw soldiers over to make themselves look good
yo ben, you should make a vid on how ordering online packages work in the army both in garrison and deployment
This plz!!!
I don’t recall if you did a video, but do you have any details on how your belongings and/or existing car gets to your first duty station?
Have you made a video of things that can get you kicked out of the army? I just started to do some research about the army because I'm entertaining the idea of joining the army. But I'm just afraid of not being enough and getting kicked out.
The first question I was asked at my first unit was could I play basketball because they had a game that night!! I played and immediately made new friends day one!! Back in 1987...
Going to benning on my 22 birthday may 2. 11X, first duty station fort campbell Kentucky and a 20k bonus for 3 years
Do you get the 20k bonus over time ? Or is it paid in brackets ?
You there now?
How can I get to you sir?
I tried on Instagram but you did not reply.
I need to talk about something very important with you
so are you staying out of the army
I want a new path in life since I mostly worked food service jobs. Is 28 years old to old to join?
Not at all, as long as you don't mind people younger than you in charge.
Not at all! Going in myself! I'm 26 btw
Im 31 going back in. Its all mindset
35 is the cut off homie from what a recruiter told me you’re chillin for now
I’m in ait and honestly really scared of the big army. I just hope it gets better because I don’t think I can do another 3 years of this
Felt
How has it been?
What do you do now that your in the civilian world?

@@TheBenAllen. cool man! Thanks for that reply! Love the content!
is it worth buying a car before enlisting im 17 btw
No brother it isn't at all.
Especially not these days
if u absolutly need a car for whatever reason, i suggest getting one from a govt auction for maybe a few thousand bucks. lots of ex cop cars that run just fine
Are vaccines mandated for the military?
Yes.
Yes
I would recommend getting it before you go out to basic
Yes
i spent 2 years in TRADOC.... not a chapter or a med board... just went to basic, got recycled, then went to ait (ima 68w btw so it was at fort sam) got recycled for trouble, then i got reclassed to 92F (petroleum specialist) and started my cycle, got recycled, then i had to wait the long process of getting chaptered. currently Jan. 15, 2023 and i'm re enlisting and i have to go back to basic 🥲
