After 10 months of fighting for a waiver, losing 50 lbs, I finally signed my contract three days ago for the Florida National Guard. I ship in four months. Will be participating in RSP. Dont quit.
Hooah Motha F’n Lujah and huge Congrats!!! Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best! Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Easiest $200 a month I ever made especially from March - June where we did nothing but online drills and even until now where we only have one day drills and no PT lol
#teamswartz Just 4 months left until I can get my waiver and swear in to the ARNG. I’m 40 and have been waiting to fulfill my legacy of service for years now. Honored to serve.
Hooahlujah!!!! Good luck on your waiver and may the waiver gods forever be in your favor! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Hope to see you within our ranks soon!
Had my first RSP drill last month, really made realize I need to work out more! I'm not like super skinny but I am a little under average. I was great at the running, but man do I need to work on my upper body! Could only do around 30 pushups, 45 sit ups, but I did the 2 mile in less than 16 minutes. I don't ship till July 7th, 2021, so I have 11 months to get in shape at least
Outstanding and not bad for your first weekend! That’s pretty damn good actually. You’ll have plenty of time to get ready but it sounds like you did the old APFT. They APFT is dead lol. We do the ACFT now and you can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WI1IJzcL09E.html Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
I actually signed a national guard contract a few months ago. Currently sitting at Fort Benning, in quarantine 😂 The RSP program is amazing, atleast for me.
@@TEAMSWARTZ I wish I would of paid more attention to the RSP, all my drill weekend but 1 where online. Wish I would of pre memorized The Soliders Creed, Army Song, and etc.
God bless you and thank you for not just your service, but all the videos to help all of us to get ready for every faze of the Army National Guard!! You're awesome!!!!
Thanks a million and I’m trying to help as many as I can. If you ever really like a particular video, please share and help others be informed as well. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 and best wishes!
I’m happy I join the guard... armystrong 💪🏽 my mos 92a and my shipping date is April 2021. My first rsp drill is in January, was kinda nervous but this video is very helpful. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 You’ve got this and just do your best and have fun. Congrats and welcome to our family!
Great video! I recently got enlisted with the GA Army National Guard as a 91B and I’m attending the RSP December 4-5. Glad to know I’ll be paid for it haha
@@ABADMTHRFUKER Idk about CA since I'm not from there but you most likely would since they're screening you to see if you'll be qualified to join the military
@@TEAMSWARTZ of course!! you’re very welcome!!! thank you!! the development and training flight deeply helped prepared me before i shipped out to Air Force basic military training as it was literally the same curriculum as the RSP! keep up the very excellent videos! 🤙🏽🇺🇸
My 1st RSP Drill is September 12 and 13. Can't wait! You videos have helped me out very much with decision making and information on the army national guard. Thank you! Your videos are awesome!
👆🏼This person is my REAL T.S. MVP! 💯💪🏼🇺🇸 Thank you for watching! Real Tawk! 😎 Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck at RSP!
@@TEAMSWARTZ For sure DS! Much appreciated and It’s my pleasure as well! Can never be too informed about changes and new things happening with the guard and the army in general as things happen really fast and on a dime especially since my recruiter isn’t the quickest. Stay safe out there DS and I’ll see you in the next one!
SFC, I am suppose to be in RSP and my recruiter said I didn’t have to go...obviously they were wrong. She did not give me any orders, so my employer will not excuse my absences. Do you usually give out duty orders to recruits in RSP so they can be excused from their professions?
You’re Recruiter or RSP NCO can supply you a memorandum verifying you in fact conducted military duty for your drill weekend. Sounds to me your recruiter tried to hook you up without going before running it through their leadership. By Federal Law your civilian Employer needs to adjust their schedule around your drill schedule. I’d suggest you get a copy of your RSP Drill Schedule and provide it to your employer so that they can schedule your work days around your drill schedule. If your company has an HR Department, they know the law. Managers more often don’t know the law and view it as a hassle and do not understand. Reach out to your recruiter and get the memo stating your future drill date in question and possible arrange a phone call. I’d highly suggest emailing your drill schedule to your civilian company and hand deliver a hard copy when you see them. That way you have a digital footprint as evidence you provided it. Small mom and pop shops that don’t have an HR Department most definitely don’t understand the law around military duty. You won’t get orders for drill weekends but you can def get a memo verifying the dates you conducted your duty with us. Hope this helps and if you have more questions, DM me on Instagram @TeamSwartz

What happens if you fail height and weight for rsp I swore in about 2 weeks ago and kind of went buck wild and gained weight My ship out date is next year in July Will i get i get in trouble for being over weight during rsp ?
You’ll have to be within the standard 30-45 days prior to your ship date. Sounds like you’ll have plenty of time but don’t sleep on it. Get to work lol You should expect to be counseled on your Ht&Wt.

Thank you so much for the information!! I'm going to meps this week and I'm excited to join the guard! Is it true that permanent residents have a wait period before going to BST?
So I’m in the middle of trying to enlist right now and I’m getting a waiver for a misdemeanor drug possession, is it normal for me to have to hand write a letter explaining the incident and pretty much copping a plea to the army as to why I should still be let in as well as getting 3 hand written character references 1 being from my current employer?
Love your content! What’s the soonest you’d be sent to RST after signing your contract? I’m signing on Wednesday, would I be required to go that same weekend? Thank you!
Your Recruiter will provide to you those Drill Dates and a Drill Schedule. Congrats and best wishes! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼
DM me @TeamSwartz or Shoot me a Text “Tony Boss” to 917-576-3529. In a perfect world less than 2 weeks to get enlisted and 2-8 weeks to get into training.
So my son will only get to do two rsp weekends before he leaves to basic. So will he have to just do one more before he reports to his unit when he gets back from basic?
@@TEAMSWARTZ The importance of not losing your blue book, water source, and rubber riffle. I also learned that if one person fails, we all fail and are punished accordingly. Then also the standard red phase stuff with SHARP, rank and insignia identification, drill and ceremony, etc.
Yes, Saturday and Sunday as described in the video but your recruiter will tell you if you’re sleeping over or going home. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
You’ve got this! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 and Congratulations on your enlistment!!
Never heard of that but in my 19yrs in so far, only way you miss training for AIT is through the CASP (Civilian Acquired Skills Program) and that’s it.
To join the Guard you must be at least 17yro, High School Junior and on track to graduate. For 31B they’ll need the line score for that MOS, US Citizen, at least a learners permit and obtain a drivers license prior to shipping to OSUT for 31B. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Is it true that if you write a letter to the Mayor of the state showing interest in joining they'll send it to the POTUS and they'll answer back with a congratulations letter and that helps joinig??? Is it true???
I know you get pts at rsp but when I arrived at 30th ag there were a few gaurdsmen arriving already in ocps are ocps something that they give you at an rsp? Also wandering because you get issued a cac Id so would you take the picture for that in a pt uniform?
Some states issue OCP’s at RSP and no you wouldn’t take a photo holding your CAC. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 BCT Photos are taken in OCP...
@@TEAMSWARTZ I was asking what wed be wearing to take the picture not if wed take a picture with it sorry for the bad dictation but thank you for the reply
I’ve only seen this authorized once in my 20yrs of recruiting and that was because a 17yro’s mother became furious because she only agreed he’d join only if he didn’t choose a combat MOS. Once finding this out, she contacted everyone she could to stir up a ruckus and ultimately got them to change his MOS to a non-combat job. If you’ve already signed a contract, you’ll have to wait until the middle or end of your contract to negotiate a reclass to a new MOS. Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Yes, you’ll retain your rank and you’ll participate in the RSP until you ship to training. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Welcome back!
Awesome video DS Swartz!!! I think I would love for my husband to join Army National Guard when he comes to America! What is the age limit for Army National Guard?
Team Swartz He’s turning 40 in September so they do a waiver if he would like to still join and also he doesn’t have a high school diploma... he plans to do a program to attain the high school diploma... any advice DS Swartz? I’m active duty army just re-enlisted 2 weeks ago and I’m at AIT in Fort Lee, but from the New Jersey area
Once your contract has been signed and scheduled for training, it’s extremely difficult to change your MOS. I’ve only seen and heard of an MOS change prior to training 1-2x in my 16+ years of recruiting. It’s going to have to be for a compelling reason. The one I’m for certain was changed is because the 17yro’s mother went ape shit lol. Sooooo, it can be done but highly unlikely. Worst case scenario if your unit won’t reclass you during your contract, at time of reenlistment you can negotiate a reclass and/or unit change. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Some states do but we don’t in NY. By the time they are ordered, received... you’re already in training. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Keep watching lol Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best!
Go through your RRRC and it’ll be smooth AF. If you get out and don’t get back in with 6mo from the ETS date from AD, you’ll have to go back to MEPS. Then you’re F’d! MROAD EXPLANATION: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q5dbSVlM8Ss.html Go through your RRRC! DM me @TeamSwartz if you have more questions. Chances are I won’t see your response to this.
Hey Team Swartz. I have a few people that are interested in joining, They are a year or two above age. Can they get waivers? They are also currently FLEO's. If so can i have you contact info to pass it along. Thank you.
They’re over 35yro but below 40yro? They can pass the Test/Medical and submit an ETP (Exception to Policy) Age Waiver and if approved be able to join. When you say FLEO, you mean Florida Law Enforcement Officers?
QU-hEtIC- NYC New York Send them my way please and I’ll take care of them. If you’re in the NY Army National Guard and haven’t received the Recruiting medal yet, I’ll get you the NYSRM because all you need is one to enlist. No money involved but it’s a medal you can wear in your dress uniform.
👆🏼This person is my REAL T.S. MVP for watch my ENTIRE VIDEO!!!! 💯💪🏼🇺🇸 Real Tawk! 😎 Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Whatcha nervous about?
God i know this is besides the point but am i the only one seeing "Swartz" and reading the German word "schwarz", only to get weirded out by the word's correct pronunciation?
After time in grade and time in service. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best!
Bea Soliven That would be State Specific. Not in NY unless they’re Battle Handoffs or soldiers who’ve completed their training and ready to move to their assigned units. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
No but expect it by the time you get to training if you don’t already have all shots required to be fully vaccinated… Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ Your videos are super informative and helpful! Really made me feel comfortable setting up a meeting with a recruiter for this Wednesday here in GA. Thanks for the great content!!
2yr max by federal law. Must ship out and/or be MOS Qualified with 2yrs. Must have compelling reasons to not ship out as scheduled or risk being discharged by your leadership. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ wow thanks so much for that helpful and quick response. I'm highly considering joining and doing 8 months or so of rsp before i graduate college.
No, uniforms and gear will be issued during BCT. Then the gear is returned after you successfully complete BCT. Gear is issued and returned during AIT and each unit of assignment. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ I have been given the opportunity to come as a guest to rsp. I have a friend who is in rsp and an assistant coach who is in rsp (first week for me and both will be there). I will train with my friend for half of next year.
Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and am congrats on joining! Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best!
Not always. Some RSP sites will allow you if you’re otherwise eligible to join but will have you not conduct physical activities or sign a waiver to participate in PT or physical activities. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ so you said not usually, but in some videos I see that they have then in the pool doing activities called (water survival skill) is that a must that everyone in the RSP has to do?
@@TEAMSWARTZ thank you drill sgt for all the content that helped me make a well informed decision to join lol it was a long process but now that I've lost 65 lbs and can pass the tape I can finally get the ball rolling
William Lindsey Which ones are you referencing specifically? Reserve/Guard do receive VA Benefits and if you’re referencing the VA Home/Small Business Loans you’ll need to do 6yrs part time to prequalify or do 6mo of Active Duty other than Basic Training, OSUT and AIT.
