CTI Escape Room Challenge | Sailor VS 

Super fun to see Ari doing such a high profile collaboration.

THIS is how you do a recruitment video. Well done! If I was 30 years younger, I might enlist all over again.

The collab we didn't know we needed, great job!

Props to them for putting out the video when Ari won. The recruiters are evolving, using social media the right way to promote themselves.

I cant believe he won all by himself, dude is beyond impressive!!

Just came from Ari’s vid and watching both was very educational but fun! Sometimes I forget just how many different branches there can be when you choose to serve

Ari did a phenomenal job at showcasing just how talented our CTIs are and how intense their training is at DLI (on his channel). He's a GREAT dude, and while I don't see him considering the Navy, I am super happy to see that he was available to get the word out there and help with outreach. We need talented people who want to do really cool stuff and are committed to becoming basically the best linguists on Earth. Outstanding! BZ, Shipmates.

Considering he was also trying to be entertaining, he did a very good job

Omg this is so exciting to see a xiaoma collab

This collabs brings the people closer to them by watching the US Navy/Millitary, interact with "the public" in a fun and interesting way!

This was a lovely surprise of a collab!

This is one of the coolest collabs I’ve ever seen. Well done to both but I was def cheering for Ari! 🩵🤟🏽

Arieh is great at what he does. This was fun to watch.

Brilliant! Loved it! Well done Ari and girls, you were all amazing! Also loved seeing the Rosetta Stone model, which I saw at the British Museum a couple of months ago. Amazing to think that single stone unlocked the understanding of hieroglyphics to the world. Suddenly, all the Egyptian tomb writings etc were understandable.

I am very surprised, and actually ecstatic, that Xiaoma beat, on his OWN, two military grade linguists with specialist language instruction. If ever RU-vid closes down, for whatever reason, I'm sure the USN would have no hesitation in signing him up. One head is sometimes better than two, it's dependant on the knowledge and how you use it.

As a veteran, I'd thought I'd never end up on this page, if it wasn't for Xiaoma. As a submariner, we don't even have half this much space in berthing 😅

This was so fun! You rock Ari!

I think this and some selective enlistment/commissioning bonuses will help Navy recruitment numbers increase. Very impressed with Ari's abilities but I don't think he would enlist or take a commission in the military on any permanent basis. But if he did, it would be in the Navy because that is the coolest branch to be part of in my biased opinion😀

Ari for the Win! Girls did good too. Going into it, I thought the girls would have to do the challenge individually as Ari did. Great video, thanks for sharing.

great video!! Getting in with the Navy is a feat!

One of the coolest collabs I've ever seen

Ari should go to the Air Force next.

This was a top tier challenge! Thanks for the video

These Navy videos are so cool, awesome stuff!

Well done Ari. Your doing great keep up the good work.

The video I never knew I needed ❤❤

Very cool episode well done guys!

Nice. We need more videos like this!

Ok, this was freaking AWESOME!!!

Wow, well done, Ari and the two CTIs!

This was a great video. This could actually be a show on tv with different challenges every week. I didn't realize that Ari knew Farsi and Russian.

Great content idea! Ty for your service ladies!

I missed my calling, but watching this was so exciting! Ari is a brainiac!

wow 2 against one and you won great job Arieh

I work at this escape room, we normally do not allow people to take video so it felt surreal when I got this video as an ad

So, the first stage of getting Xiaoma into the military is to start with fun things.

I really enjoyed this collab!! Great job!!👍

This is the correct approach to attract talent to the Navy. RD/OS/EW/CTT

That was fun to watch!

5:36 Best bit 🤣

Great collab Ari!

this looked like fun but wow, so difficult!

Was so upset when I lost my AECF contract due to medical issues. But was glad the medical issues were found as a civilian and not out at sea.(compartment syndrome, hEDs, and hemochromatosis).

So cool. Great job US Navy for allowing this to happen! Go NAVY!

Dad was a CT from 1950s to 1971. But back then it was a bit more secretive about what a CT was. It did not stand for Cryptologic Technician, it was for Communication Technician. And it was broken down into different branches so that you had CTAs who were Administrative, CTIs who were Interpretative, CTOs who were Operative, CTMs who were Maintenance, and CTRs who were one who recorded the data. Dad's full rating was CTMCM. But prior to the later 1976 changes it was CTCM without denoting the branch part of the CT community. Communication Technician Chief Master went to Communications Technician Master Chief Maintenance. In other words, dad was one of the people who installed and maintained the equipment that the CTI, CTOs, and CTRs would use. Often as what now would be a Command Master Chief, but back then was known as a Leading Chief even if you were only a Senior Chief. Dad also served as Division Head in that role when there were no officers over the Division. As was the case when we were in Turkey in 1960-1962 and dad ( CTCS ) was a Senior Chief/ Leading Chief/Division Head all at the same time with about 20 people under him.

This was great, really really great 👍

This was such a good video @navy!

Yeah! Ari!! I was rooting for you all the way!!

Best recruitment video ever!

Great collab Xiaoma, BZ CTI1 Roecker, CTI2 Mulvaney, the Defense Language Institute is for the best of the best

go navy! fire content! keep this coming

Did not expect this collab. I know someone who is currently at this language school.

I think you should've had CTI1 Roecker proofread the part at 2:17-2:18

the one ad i actually want to watch lol

i gotta commet and like this vid for our Navy and Xiaomanyc

Let's go, Xiaoma! 🫡💪

Well that was super cool👍

I wanted to go in as a CTI but they got me for ET. Def gonna cross rate I love language learning

this is awesome

the music in the background drives me insane every time i see this

Great video so fun

So fascinating!

When I signed up for the Canoe Club many years ago, I was supposed to go to CTI school for Russian. But they found my hearing was just bad enough in the high frequency range to disqualify me. Dream crushed.

I'm out here using citation machine for my english paper, and I randomly see an ad of the U.S. Navy with freaking Xiaoma. How random lmao

Awesome video!

This was awesome

This was pretty good

Sometimes i miss the navy. Mainly the places ive been and lived. I had a great time.

You did very good Ari - 2 against 1 and still won.

awesome job!

The Navy had to have two language experts to pose a challenge for Ari... he's the goat.

Ari the GOAT!

He's going to enlist! I just know it! 😄

Great Job Ari..

I saw that and thought it seemed unfair. I thought each person would have their own escape room. But the ladies working together seemed unfair. Good job Ari.

Very cool!

This is so cool

Great video.... Ari's awesome, but to be accurate it was Sailor(s) VS

Great video

Love Ari !!!

This was cool

Whooo! go ARI!

Congrats 🎉

Navy Public Affairs and Recruiting Command gets one right. Superior program

We need updated HPSP (medical And dental recruitment videos)

This was one of the hardest jobs to land when I went through. They wouldn't even put it on our sheets haha.

Ari got a 2 v 1 w. Hells yeah

1st rule about battles stations.

His wife Chinese he fluent in mandarin, kinda stacked in his favor...super cool they all understand that many languages

Go Ari!!!

Saw this as a add for recruitment lol

RU-vid for the win !!!!

That was. Cool

Honestly what an ego trip to do what TWO military-trained specialists can do in more languages faster, what a flex

If I was only young, and smart, I'd join!

Best Ad

Wow!

ARI!!!!!

These videos are fantastic! We’ve gotta get these ladies in top shape though! Fitness for our troops is required!

Dude when did you do this?
