Im joining at 32 , leaving in a few weeks . Definitely a hard reset on life but I’m ready for the change . mind , body and soul and A life of austerity 💯💯👍 . Thanks for this video
Im 32. I've always wanted to join the military, I wanted to join when I was 19 but I had a girlfriend at the time, we thought we would get married and start a family blah blah blah... Then I was single at 25 and became an alcoholic til about 28. Then I my little brother passed away and I wanted to stay close to my mom and other brothers. Now I'm ready for a new start and can finally join the Army. Im nervous but excited. Good luck brother
Wow what a story, just seein this. Sorry you lost your little bro. Def cant fault you for self medicating i know what thats all about. Keep bring ur light to others
im 28 and literally just feel lost in life at this point. not sure if what ive been doing is what I want to do for the rest of my life. not sure if what im waking up for is worth it anymore. just feel stuck. that hard reset almost sounds like the perfect thing..
Yes, YOU are worth it. Youre not alone so reach out to find who you need by you. Be picky & Find your hard reset! Def understand the dark times but keep on pushing for the light. Its out there just give yourself enough grace to find it then jump in head first. Ull def grow through the hard times.
I'm in the same boat as you sir. I'll be 29 in November, former Marine, but went AWOL. I've felt ashamed the entire time. I'm looking to join, clear my conscience and build.
When I showed up to basic training there was this guy on his phone during our time in reception and I was like what are you looking at and he said he was trying to find a way off base so he could escape and I told him to call the chaplain before he went AWOL
im still lost even after serving and am getting my mba now. def going for reserves to keep plugged in as I try to figure out life. but joining DEFINITELY helped me grow in MANY ways. PUMPED I JOINED! Gi bill is amazing btw
Dan, I enjoyed hearing you share your story and experiences. Really got some needed encouragement and advice. Thank you so much. Love how you said your preparing to be your best for the next 30, 60 years! Im like ok he definitely planning to make it to 100. Awesome 😁
Dan, I appreciate your perspective on this. I’m 32, soon to be 33. Prior powerlifter who is way out of BFM standards. But I’m considering this option. I have a BS in Kinesiology. It’s just she to use without being a teacher. I’m former Soldiers about joining and if it should reserve or full active. Im engaged so that deff plays a part. I really am looking for that hard reset. Thank you again.
Awesome to hear. Let me know if you have any questions. I can post another video. Also feel free to check out my book that’s available on military leader ship psychology you can preview it for free on my website. www.combatpsych.com
'Awesome' is like basically...a meaningless and overused word. It's for those with a limited vocabulary, you know, you know, you know what I'm saying? By time someone is 37, they should be close to where they want to be going. Basic training ain't it. @@SixFigureCouchSurfer
Turning 30 in June, used to build 747s pre covid and went back to start my basics in college and plan on enlisting as a 68x if I can while I finish my bachelors in psych and take what experiences I gain as a 68x to continue my PhD in clinical Psych, lets get it 30 years young.
Im looking at joining the reserves to help get me into higher education and solidify my chance at getting a legitimate career. I am a bit unsure and nervous at 34..but I think its just gonna happen and I want to take advantage of the time to set myself up so when Im 40 I can have a great career and life ahead of me.
@@SixFigureCouchSurfer Thank you! I've been dreaming with this day since i was a litlle girl. Your words of encouragement are extremely valuable ;since i cross the age of 30 life became more meaningful i think, and i had to change the country and language ( wich makes me more proud of the decision a made) to dedicate my mind, body and soul for what i believe being my real being.
I went and had a chat because I have a surgery coming up. He said come back in 9 months if you have to get it. I am going to my consultation next month and with the way it's looking. I may not need the surgery. That being said I wouldn't need to wait the 9 months. My fingers are crossed.
I turn 32 in February, no kids or spouse, master certified mechanic with GM and Chrysler, a decade of experience, one year into Jiu-jitsu and still wanting something more. I want to be a pilot but cant get the loan for ATP. Think I'm gonna go talk to an Air Force recruiter. Lots of high paying tech jobs, and ATP and several others accept the G.I. Bill.
Def worth a discussion, hope ya find what you want. I asked some flight schools about gi bill and they said id need to be in a bachelors program to enable gi bill payments but not sure how ATP functions
26 and looking to join, waiting to hear back about setting my basic date, also want to become a commercial pilot and learned that through the air force, (and i believe all branches) they have a program called the yellow ribbon which helps pay for flight school similar to the function of the GI bill @@SixFigureCouchSurfer
official army website: REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN OCS You must be a U.S. citizen and have your bachelor’s degree by the time you are commissioned as an Officer. The general age requirement is between 19 and 32.
Awesome to hear. Let me know if you have any questions. I can post another video. Also feel free to check out my book that’s available on military leader ship psychology you can preview it for free on my website. www.combatpsych.com
You could get sent to the DLI in Monterey CA for that but I’m not sure if that’s a hard slot guaranteed before you sign your contract. Def worth asking recruiters from various branches
I’m currently 31 I’m in school for Hvac but I don’t feel like that’s going to be enough so I’m thinking about joining the army when I graduate next year in April I’ll be 32 I’m thinking this might be the right move 🤷🏾♂️
it definitely will help set you up if you plan everything ahead of time and have a sense of what you’re getting into before you sign the contract- if you’re married or have kids definitely adds more variables to balance out but if not, shouldn’t be too big of an impact and you can always go reserves or national guard as well, depending on what you’re looking to get out of it
No, not pure Bjj But you can find your own training partners pretty easily. Army.Mi websitel: “Combatives is a style of hand-to-hand combat used by the Army. It consists of a mix of effective combat techniques from various martial arts styles. Soldiers use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappling and throws, take downs from Judo and wrestling and strikes from boxing and Muay Thai.”
I’m posting a video dedicated to you but on the intro I called you ALAN because my coffee didn’t kick in yet my bad but I put your name in the title so you know it’s yours
I just turned 31 and your vids are very insightful. What’s your advice on enlisting active duty versus reserves ? I have some student loans,does the Army help with those ? Condolences on your loss brother.
