assistance video for Performance Task: Alley Dock Backing. Any comments and feedback left will make it to an instructor for content change consideration to the video. Additional questions can also be addressed through comments.
Glad it helped bring all that information into focus for you so you can learn the skill and put it to use for any future endeavors. Good luch and welcome to the Corps!!!
Glad it helped and hopefully some of the other video's help with other thing's you encounter at your duty station on line. Congratulations on your success and let me know what video's could help you and your troops where you are🙂
The training curriculum has changed so much it would surprise you. The Army getting so much new equipment in the last 20 years and the struggle to find the perfect way to train a new generation of Soldiers, it changed 3 times while I was there for 4 years😅
Been driving a semi for 4 years. Would love to join the NG and drive an Oshkosh but got medically disqualified for a collapsed lung in high school. Great video.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. There are many ways to serve the community and our country and I thank you for the hard work you put in keeping the supply industry with a professional addition to the team🙂
Sorry to hear about joining the military not working out. I was medically disqualified in 2013 because of my vision so I know what that disappointment of not being able to join feels like 😔.
Hell yeah! Good initiative to go above and beyond to find additional training tools and resources. Good luck on your endeavors and welcome to the Transportation Corps!
@@Whogives2shets bro. You and me both went to the very same AIT together 14 years ago. Surprisingly there are other people from our old AIT class here with 58th trans. Myself included. Small Army
@@mattblow9380 I realized who you are after I seen your picture on your FB😂. You haven't changed a bit for an ole man😜😂. Man that was a long time ago and seems like yesterday still. I sent you friend request on there🙂.
I’m a 88M, here I am struggling trying to alley dock with my future civilian job FedEx( stick shift truck). Finished my AIT April 2020 so I haven’t practice at all with the 915 in my National Guard unit 😤 16T A58 2020
Unfortunately, backing a trailer is a perishable skill and has minor differences between different trailers especially depending on the trailers length. Practice makes perfect so anytime you're in a truck with a trailer, take a few minutes to find a place safe to back it up and give it 20 minutes of your time to practice backing in
Welcome to the Army and the channel! I am finishing editing slowly on videos but whatever you need to see let me know and I can even post a quick vid to help clarify anything. Good luck at AIT, you will do great!
The trailers at AIT are 41ft long with 3 rear axles so it'll be slightly different but nothing you won't be able to adjust to with your experience after a few times driving them🙂
Being nervous is a good thing, keeps you focused. Just remember, if you lose sight of the back of the trailer, turn right. Too much angle makes it turn faster so watch the passenger landing leg. Turn toward the trailer to straighten up
Amazing commitment and initiative to look ahead and seek further education. Troops like you always do much better because you do the research to prepare and gain the confidence from the extra information you collect like tools in a tool bag. The instructor's out there will guide you in all you need just make sure you ask the questions no matter what it is you want clarification on.
Unfortunately, it's not a step-by-step process, it's a skillset. There is no way to say back up 18ft, turn wheel left, back up 10 more ft, straighten wheel, then proceed backwards until complete. The trailer has many variations that effect what happens each time a different operator moves it, how the terrain is where your practicing, if you have the wheel truly straight, etc. You have to know how to react depending how the trailer moves and that's what the video and your instructor's are there for.
88M is the Military Occupational Specialty identifier for Heavy Motor Vehicle Operators. Talk to your local Army recruiter about Active, Reserves or National Guard options.🙂
A calm mind is a focused mind. Control your breathing and don't let negative thoughts control the confidence you approach the task with. Breath smooth and just keep telling yourself all the things the instructors taught you and that the angle controls the trailer. Good luck, troop! Welcome to the corps!
We sure do!🙂. If it has wheels, 88M can be trained to drive them. Buses, semi trucks, gun trucks like the JLTV, MATV, MRAP, and HMMWV are all in an 88M's field of operations.
Honestly; I'd probably do it if my wife wouldn't kill me first. Driving's all I've known since I was 16, I've made it a point not to run over the road anymore but the call is still there. Coming from a civilian standpoint; there's no such thing as a content driver, I guarantee that probably at least half of us would go overseas just for the fun of it, myself included.
@Mr.Sanchez602 I'd have to google the current recruiting policies for your state but it also can depend on federal service time and health. My best advice is to go see your local recruiting team and ask. Things change all the time and there are wavers for many things
@@Whogives2shets 2:38, 4:47 the truck and trailer is ( / ) and i can already see the left landing gear . in the school im attending we have to start straight (---) . But im sute straight or angled you're whipping it right into that dock lol
@@peedifromdownthestreet395, yeah, I just skipped the in between stuff. If I make an additional video for alley dock in the future I will insure to include it all🙂. The feedback is always helpful so everyone can learn how to get that thing parked better
