I don’t think people are scared as much as they just don’t want to be in the military or have better jobs. 😂. You were in “relaxin Jackson” anyway. Girl Scout camp.
definitely not "relaxin Jackson" where they have the most reported deaths from military training than any other base in the past 4 years. but I hear ya
I passed medical meps September 24th. But my recruiter did it backwards and got a new recruiter now. He told me to go to meps before my major misconduct waiver and that I could go to 09 both was done wrong. My new guy said he should have done waiver first and that I’m DQ from 09 cause my major misconduct waiver. So I need a 31 or higher on asvab and to retest. My asvab last month got a 29. But least I got MEPS Passed and out the way the medical porotion.
my bad...i could've zoomed in a bit but if you have the protractor on hand follow. along...the tick marks (small dashes) are the same just move it to how many tick marks you need. 1826 for example...disregard 18 you will find the NUMBER 2 on the protractor part 1 then take the Number divide it by two..equals 3 so move it 3 tick marks (small lines up) part 2then you are done. then reconfirm
So I’m going to do ARMY ROTC at University of Hawaii @Manoa and so I was wondering if people are doing ROTC for the Army when will they get the CAC cards (Common Access Card) do you have to be a Junior Senior Freshman or Sophomore? because I want to like know it right off the bat and if you are a Cadet for any branch in college including in Hawaii at the University of Hawaii (UH @Manoa) will you get your CAC card (Common Access Card) and does your ROTC branch have to be with you when being in the ROTC branches including Hawaii ? and so I know you can’t smile for the camera 🎥 I don’t smile for the camera anyway and do we have to bring anything else besides SS (Social Security Card) and Birth Certificate would I need to bring like stuff from ARMY ROTC at University of Hawaii @Manoa like what grade I am and how long would it take to make your CAC card ? And I know you have to be in complete uniform from the coat Trousers (Pants) as well but is their anything that I would need to bring when doing the ARMY ROTC program when getting the CAC card like do I need to bring my ROTC stuff with me from the ARMY or like a State ID of Hawaii ? and how long are we talking to get the CAC card 6-8 or 6-10 business days and what FBI background check will you have to go through to get a CAC card as a Student for doing like a CAC card even if you are a cadet for the University of Hawaii @Manoa ARMY ROTC program
Will your exact questions that’s on the PICAT be at the the beginning of the verification test ? Or will it be at the end or throughout the whole test ?
Do I have to have my drivers license for my state? Just got back from overseas and I’m back with my wife in Oklahoma. We got a lease but I still have a Florida drivers license. Does it matter if my home of record is Oklahoma? I’m doing reserves as well
My last day of the reception station was a nice meal from the mess hall and a movie at the small theater. The movie was new had just come out. Stripes. The little theater was rolling with laughter from a bunch of recruits. Great memories. Had a bit of a twist as well. My first permanent duty assignment was Italy. Just like the movie.😀
Im just not understanding. So can you just choose to take the asvab instead of the picat. Or must you do the picat first. Im asking because im set for the asvab and the only other test ive done is the entrance qualified test where you have to get over 31 to start the process, thats less then 50 questions. Sooo im just unsure. Like i cant pick the same answers when I've only done the qualifying test. Or I'm I choosing from those answers.
I would like to attend Officer Candidate School (OCS), Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS), Direct Commission (DC), or Officer Training School (OTS). I have a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science degree. I am a prior service member and I'm transferring to a new branch of service. I am 41 years old. My recruiter is saying that I'm too old to become an officer. What advice could you provide to help me pursue the officer route?
If your tongue tie significantly restricts tongue mobility to the point where it affects speech or swallowing, it might be considered a disqualifier. However, if the restriction is mild and doesn’t interfere with essential functions, it may not cause disqualification, especially if corrective surgery or therapy can resolve the issue.
if the cavities are severe or untreated, it could result in a temporary disqualification until they are fixed. Once treated, he can proceed with the enlistment process.
My husband snores at night. He has never seen a doctor and told the recruiter that he has no medical condition. Would it be possible to disqualify him for sleep apnea or would he have to go to the doctor or notify them?
I'm going to undercut some of the points that you have made about going infantry. I was both infantry and logistics in my career, so I have a unique understanding of the topic. First of all, going infantry is perfectly fine and you can still transition into a civilian job with no problem, even beyond security. You are completely overlooking the fact that troops have access to take college courses or get certifications while on active duty. The civilian employer is looking for talented individuals who meet their qualifications and requirements, and that is when your resume plays a HUGE part in you getting hired. When you learn what the civilian job entails, you can take your experience in the military (no matter what your MOS was) and tailor your resume to hit those key points that they look for in a resume. Yes, you can be an infantryman and put on your resume that you have experience managing others. You can put in your resume how adaptable you are while handling difficult duties and getting things done on time. It is all about the job announcement and what the duties are for that position. The experience you gain in the infantry is transferrable for a number of jobs beyond security or law enforcement, especially if you took time to expand your education. You could be in a support job and transition out, but if you can't put your experience on the resume, you could get beat out by the infantry guy who could. People view military service through a narrow lens and give basic answers concerning a job that demands much from you physically, but just as much mentally as well. When it comes to injuries, your job doesn't matter because plenty of support soldiers get injured doing whatever. So, if you want to be an infantryman, you go do it with no regrets. Scratch that itch and don't worry about a civilian job. You go do what you want to do because if you pick a support job that doesn't challenge you, you will absolutely hate it. Go infantry and then decide what you want to do next. Bottom line, use common sense when you get out looking for a civilian job. Make sure your resume is tight by wording it properly to fit the hey factors they are looking for in the position.
I get where you're coming from! While transitioning from an infantry role into the civilian workforce is definitely possible, it does take deliberate effort, just like you mentioned. It’s also about having long-term thinking, knowing that the transition will eventually come. In the infantry, most soldiers probably aren’t thinking about civilian life early on-it’s usually later in their career when they realize, “I need to take these classes, get certified, etc.” What some people miss is that certain MOS roles naturally align with civilian careers, which makes the transition smoother. If you take advantage of TA, you can gain additional qualifications, but some MOS roles don’t even require it because you’ve already developed those skills on the job. For example, someone in logistics may already have experience in project management, supply chain management, or IT systems, which easily translates into civilian job requirements. This could make passing certifications like the PMP easier-it’s not guaranteed, but for those using those skills daily, it’s definitely more achievable compared to someone just learning them. That being said, as you pointed out, with the right resume and education, an infantryman can also highlight their leadership, adaptability, and problem-solving skills effectively. In the end, choosing an MOS should align with your passion. If someone really wants to go infantry, they should go for it. The key is planning ahead for the transition and taking advantage of every opportunity to build up skills and education. A solid resume and leveraging military benefits, like certifications, can make a huge difference.
@@SupremeSoldier - And that is the point that I'm making. We should never discourage others from doing the military jobs they feel compelled to do. You were never infantry, so your personal knowledge is limited with the career field. I would always ask why they want to go infantry and then share the reality of it, and how it was one of the best things I ever did. I constantly tell people interested in the military that they have to go in with a business mindset. That they take their time to get as much information as possible on particular jobs that they are interested in and follow their interests. The most important thing is picking the job that you really want to do and have no regrets once you do it. The Army was good to me, so I always help point the young guys in their direction after I determine if the Army is the right branch for them. Infantry gets a bad rap and people give erroneous info about it when it comes to transitioning to civilian jobs. However, joining the infantry isn't about using it for civilian employment. It's about joining that exclusive club of warriors who's sole purpose is to close with and destroy the enemy. It is a very personal choice to do a job that very few people in the nation have ever done.
@@parawill7074 Thanks for your perspective! I agree-it’s important not to discourage anyone from pursuing the military career that they’re passionate about. Everyone’s path is personal, and going in with a business mindset, gathering all the info, and following what you truly want to do is key. The infantry definitely gets misunderstood, and like you said, it’s about more than just civilian job prospects-it’s about being part of something unique and challenging. Appreciate the insight! Hopefully most develop your thought process before considering the military as a whole.
3 important factors to take into consideration for when you are in the military and have a learning disability 1. The military does not provide accommodations for learning disabilities and soldiers are all taught the same way. So, if your use to seeing teachers with different teaching styles to captivate and help retain information this is a rude awaking. 2. In the military there is a culture of having uniformity with an emphasis a dog and pony show. This means that it is not so much what you do or say but how you make the leadership look. 3. Many individuals were able to excel academically prior to joining the military because they were not defined by short comings and in the military there is more of an emphasis on what you did wrong. I say all this as someone who has a learning disability , served 3 years in the US army and used military benefits to pay for my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work.
There’s a huge misunderstanding about the infantry. Say whatever you want about it but someone else is stepping in YOUR PLACE to keep you off the battlefield so you can stay on a computer with an opposing opinion. Idk 🤷🏾♂️ why do people join the military just to do civilian stuff?? To me it’s rather insulting to say that the infantry has no value or purpose to transcend into something else. There’s plenty of ex infantrymen that have done well to reclass into other fields outside of combat. Stop generalizing the profession if you haven’t even walked the path you don’t have the same heart ♥️. You’re going in to be a damn computer nerd 🤓 to get the perks of the military off the backs of REAL men who do the REAL WORK. YOU DONT GOT THE RIGHT BRO! You ONLY get the respect of the uniform you wear off of men of REAL ACTION. Should’ve stayed in college instead why join just to put down those who ACTUALLY step up??? This is why POGS never get any respect because you all have uniformed opinions with zero effort but love getting the credit for serving. You’re not serving 💩 but your own ambitions but you could care less about those who bleed 🩸 on your behalf to save you the trouble of any hardships. It’s disgusting…
i see where he is coming from but not intirely true; translating infantry over to civilian sector is like writing an NCOER... it's not what you do; it's HOW YOU WORD IT! You may have to be more creative with your wording for infantry but those skills will and do translate over.
That facts! I was just stating its more challenging in comparison where even though Infantry does alot, you just have to creative ways as you mentioned to word your experiences.
@@SupremeSoldier - No. All you have to do (and this applies to whatever MOS you were) is go over the job posting and it will lay out what they are looking for. You tailor your resume showcasing your experience that lines up to what they posted. Now, how competitive you are against others will boil down to whatever certification/education they may say "is not required, but desirable.", so the type of job you apply to matters. There are jobs where they are looking for folks who are already qualified in a specific field, but it doesn't mean that they won't give a shot to someone who lacks some of that training or experience. That is where the intangibles play a huge part with getting hired.
I live with PTSD...my first 7 years retired was hard but it got easier.....i had to watch my SGT die infront of me and the worse part is knowning its nothing you can do to save them
