    Before our final exam at the JFK School, they had us up all night painting the barracks, so we had to take shifts studying. Got up at the crack of dawn (0 dark 30) to do the final ruck march, then to the final exam. So, it’s the studying under significant psychological stress and physical stress, no sleep, and still passing the exam.

    What are the statistics for 37X recruits being selected from POAC ? Someone commented that about 1000 trainees come through via this 37X option -which is a pretty good sized sample group. Is this a situation in which a small percentage of candidates actually get to become 37F? Are the % similar to the 18X contracts?

      Your branch would have to approve your application for PSYOP selection. I assume your branch has a time in MOS requirement. It also depends on the strength of your MOS - check in and out calls on HRC. But ultimately yes, you can apply for PSYOP selection. Just don’t wait too long because we are accepting up to E-5 right now. Although that does change from time to time.

    • @8thpsyopgroup
      @8thpsyopgroup  3 года назад +2

      The short answer is no. If you commisson as a 37F you would have to follow the same rules as other officers recruited to PSYOP. Typically you would have to branch qualify in another branch, wait until your year group comes up, and then branch transfer to PSYOP. Because the officer and enlisted training is different as well, you may have to redo selection and training as well.

Unless you are top 1% of the ruck times you . will be a non select-no go-very vague and subjective reason “need more communication skills-But can’t go into details” Come back in two years. The Army gets high scoring ASAVB kids to enlist for 5 years and the has them for needs of the Army. They make smart, fit, highly motivated soldiers into pissed off “I got shafted by the Army” specialist who tell everyone they know how much the Army tricked them and stuck them with a job they never signed on for. YES they told you it wasn’t a guarantee But 28%?? With no objective reason why you are a no go. ! Kids don’t do it. Parents -don’t let them. Don’t believe we need PsyOp soldiers believe they need new soldiers in the Army to do other jobs they normally can’t fill.

I can't get away from you. I want the goberment to put me in a decent house or apartment in Russia. I must be brainwashed. Well, they did that, and now I can't think well. It's the same as having a club hit your head followed by mathematical scribbles. There was more than one hit. I get stuck in places like the army because there's nothing for us after HS. I'm also a target. Yes, I'll be the one who comes back, so destroy me more and wonder why I'm not conforming. I cannot. I liked the army. I do not like you.

    He's cute :P I like Durov. He's just a good person. I always carry the mental curse. It started with grandma having to give dad up, and my dad is insane, diagnosed bipolar with many psychotic features. I don't care if you think I have mom and dad issues. As far as dad, I don't want to die. Ask others. My grandma is a paranoid schizophrenic. I have undifferentiated schizophrenia. My grandma was crazy when she gave dad up. Dad grew up to be crazy despite being raised in a loving home, trust me. Then we had my so, so, so sad childhood, and then I would have the kid and be too poor to take care of it. I would create one to start out in utter poverty and more influences he/she would be drawn to. I don't like the songs. Am I pure now? I lost over ten years of my life fighting stupid battles with stupid people who don't even know me.

    Not particularly bright looking fellows. Not incidentally either one might add? Cloaked shadows, covert sharks.
