Joined the army June 28th ship out in October, I’m going to fort Moore😭 I thought the program would be in fort Jackson. How the hell am I the only one going to a different location😂
Lmaoooo No worries and huge congrats on making it into the Army. Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best! 09M is located at either location. You’ll be fine and just do your best… 🙏🏽
Hello! Tuning in from Florida. If I'm homeschooled and still need to take the ASVAB, how exactly do I do that? Meaning, do I just walk in to the school I would be toing to if I weren't homeschooles and ask to take the ASVAB? Or, do I set up an appointment at the school? Also, are results immediate, and would I be with other people also taking the ASVAB, or are they going to separate us? Thanks in advance.
@@AngryGator098 Hello there and thank you for reaching out! Reach out to your local Recruiter to learn more about that branch of service, take a practice test and hopefully take the PiCAT/ASVAB. You’ll take it essentially through a Recruiter and not through a score. Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯

I’m waiting for a waiver for migraines and thc. Is there anything I can do on my end being as though I have no medical history for those or haven’t been diagnosed for anything
@@TEAMSWARTZ I went to the hospital 2 years ago due to having a migraine that day which I said was from some weed I smoked but I was only there for about 2 hours. Never been back, no documentation or anything from them. My recruiter said to wait to hear back from MEPS doctor
@@TEAMSWARTZ it wasn’t necessarily diagnosed they didn’t run any tests I was just hooked up to iv and I told them I felt fine and was able to leave without any medication or any further visits. What would the MEPS doctor or higher ups need to see if asking for any documentation. What can I do
@@Iceman2x You’ll need the Documentation to that Hospital Visit and annotate those things in your medical complex prescreen. Your Recruiter hopefully reviewed your records and accurately annulled the medical things on your prescreen. The video above shares with you what would be required. Sounds to me like your recruiter already submitted the prescreen. And now you’ll have to wait until MEPS reviews and determines your status.
Now this may sound irrelevant to the subject here but I just have to get this off my chest. I know of a female soldier I work with who is in the guard with me. She wants to earn the rank E-5 Sergeant. However, the thing I find infuriating is she has a strong sense of entitlement complex. It’s Her Way or the Highway and All About Her Her Her. She cannot take being corrected or told to do something and yet she still wants to be a Sergeant and has applied for an E-5 Sergeant slot at five different units now. For this reason, a lot of NCO’s feel she is not mature enough for this leadership role. I believe she is not ready to handle it. Respect is s two way street and if she expects other soldiers to respect her but she cannot give respect, other soldiers will disrespect her back. She still has yet to understand that she’s not entitled to other people’s respect. That has to be earned as well. E-5 promotions and respect is not given freely like candy. The sun does not shine on her behind and other people and their respect does not revolve around her.
Hi I just saw your video and I’m shipping out on this October 15 with 09M and I hope everything will go smoothly and of course I will study by myself before I’m going there.

I have some dental issues and I'm going to meps for the national guard in a few days, none of my teeth bother me with any pain however, 2 or 3 of them are bad and could probably be pulled, will this dq me?
Not usually. As long as you’re not in pain and it’s less than 30% of your teeth, you usually get a pass… Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯 Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

I am 32 years old recently got my high school this past February. My opinion on it is if you want the incentives and the bonuses study Get your high school or GED study extremely hard and get the highest score. Possible doesn’t owe you anything I’m working on getting my scores high enough and getting into the Navy.

Recently just graduated from my Ait, was with a guy who did the 09 mike program, he always passed his test in AIT, hopefully they continue the program as I met alot of guys ar Fort Jackson who went there and they did as much as the rest of us did in BCT.
Ngl I don’t have a problem with the program but knowing this after having my whole battalion almost shutdown for them and reception kids is crazy. Made my bct experience so much more difficult than needed to be
Interesting… What was the reason to shut down a whole BN? Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck in the next chapter in your Army career!

@@PdaadAbdullah It doesn’t matter if you’re a CAT4 or 3B… It’ll reopen on or after Oct 1st described in the video. If you’re currently a 3B, you can go through the BSEP Course at the Education Office on any Army base within your career. It’s limited to how many times you can but it’s available later on. You’re not stuck forever… Hope that helps and good luck!
@@TEAMSWARTZ I understood from the video that the program is currently closed and will not open until the new fiscal year. My question specifically pertains to if that option was available for 3b applicants. Thanks for the information on Bsep.
@@PdaadAbdullah According to the the normal guidance it’s a possibility and you can discuss that with your recruiter at time of enlistment. But it’s currently closed except for ACTIVE Duty… At least from the last time I checked the update months ago. 🙏🏽

@@SteveHoude Yes, this video isn’t about someone in his position… Congrats on your son serving and hopefully he makes you proud! Welcome to my channel!
to anyone who sucks at math theres tons of free stuff you can use to help learn math you dont need an asvab book for dummies theres a youtube channel called grammar hero who teaches all the math youd need to know on the asvab trust me i suck at math and his videos helped me pass! i went from a 32 on the picat at the recruiters office and then when i went to meps i had to take the full asvab and got a 48 which isnt the best but use grammar hero if you suck at math
I thought Arms 2.0 was the body weight portion. my recruiter is planning for me to do both 09M and Arms 2.0 but I need to get a 100 on the TAPAS for the Arms 2.0 program. I got a 96 on it last month and Im waiting to take it again this month. I did the Physical too but failed height and weight
Being 1-2% over your maximum allowable body fat percentage (MBFP) doesn’t require 09M. 09M for body fat is allowed for 2-8% over your MBFP… and yes, you’ll need a 100 on the WD section of the TAPAS unfortunately.
