Are you national guard?

11C training is fun, mortars suck to ruck with at first, but overall, would recommend

You’ll be in either E, D, or B company 1-19, I’m pretty sure

Abby Weaver Thank you. Your story’s make me less worried about my leave date

Takira Ramsey me too! fort jackson?

@@lifewithneli1868 yes

I also went to Fort Jackson in 96, through RU-vid I've found videos of recruits or active Army ncos drill sergeants. And the things they complained about seems so trivial....i laught!

Congrats! I leave August 25th

I ship to Jackson the same day!

I ship on the 15th of September lol, goodluck!!

LOL you will be fine!

I also ship out in January to Fort Jackson!

New video just went up! Thank you for your support!

SO TRUE. Quitters (and injuries, unfortunately) pretty much sat on the sidelines for the entire cycle. A few of them got to go home just before graduation but a few were still there after I left!

I think a higher level of maturity was super helpful to be able to take a step back from all the nonsense and see that there is a reason behind the way you're being treated etc. Also- you've probably been out of the house or at least spent time away from your family at this point in your life, for a lot of the younger kids that was a realllly difficult aspect of being at basic training.

Absolutely. 2.5 months is cake when it comes to distance from family. Absolutely love your videos and will continue to watch until I get sorted out.

@@jordiewitt8369 Well thank you so much! Feel free to ask any questions that come to mind!

I joined the band too and at 24. They didn’t give me too hard of a time as an older person. My recruiter told me Basic is just a motivational game and they wouldn’t give me a hard time.

Relaxin Jackson is so easyyyy, it's literally all mental. I was in Dco. 2-39th and it was fun now that I think about it.

Good luck!!! Just saw you went this week :)

Nope! They gave us a few pills instead. The medical provider even told us that at Jackson they have discontinued the "peanut butter shot" and switched over to the pill form.

I’m leaving to Jackson nov 3rd

Usually you’ll try again and then if you can’t do it, you’ll substitute with some push-ups or burpees.

I found a "None to Run" plan online that I'm starting. It has good reviews and should be easy to google

Oh wow! That is EXTREMELY interesting! I wish her the best, I'm sure she's rocking it. 😁

Thanks!! I 'll let her know!

@@TheAshleyJess Feel free to keep me updated on her process, I'm sure there are lots of others watching that are curious as to how things are functioning right now and I'd love to share with them!

@@AbbyWeaver I will let you know as the mail comes in! She would of loved watching your videos. She did alot of research right before leaving too.

I had the same fear shipping at 24. There was a pretty even spread of people older than me and kids coming straight out of high school or undergrad.

🤓 I feel like not many people would care but I would actually love to film a storytime/video with my fiance about the whole thing. ❤️

Can you run 2 miles non-stop ? Can you perform 15 push ups without stopping ?

Kit Carson yes I can. I’ve been preparing my self since I enlisted.

@@sierrawhite2210 that's good. You have to hold yourself accountable, if you know that you've weaknesses regarding physical fitness. You might know what "porkchop platoon" is. Not only fat people go there.

@@sierrawhite2210 US Army does send recruits to the pool, so be sure that you can freestyle swim for 50 meters, at least 2 laps.

Ooo I've heard this is good!

From what I heard, not right now

Me too!

omg hey add my snap and let’s start chatting (ayanaaa32)

Yess! I just added you haha

me too!! i’m nervous

Rachael Velazquez that’s so freaking cool! Me too!

Top tier in PT? They sort you into lanes to facilitate the run portion of the test so that the grader on that lane has trainees that will all finish around the same time. The lanes don't actually count for anything. "A good run time" depends on your gender and age. If you're a female running a 12-14 two mile, you'll probably be in one of the faster ability running groups.

Abby Weaver I appreciate the reply. I’m a bit of a pt stud so I appreciate these details so I can make my goal of maxing the pt in basic training. Just trying to gage the effort level I should do for the assessment run since my current max mile run is approximately around the 8 minute mark (woman / 31 yr old). Just want to keep up with the young folks

@@jmariehudson I was around 8:45 on my first mile assessment and 7:45 by the end of basic, I moved from lane 14 to lane 8 I believe. Our company had an "advanced" group for PT, they got to wear jerseys and do extra stuff with kettle bells, I can talk all about that in a separate video. But they determined who was in that group by if you could do a leg tuck or not along with passing the first APFT, I'm pretty certain. IDK that every company will do that, just run your best. With an 8 minute mile at 31 you're probably close to maxing, for me at 24 it's only a 15:36 to max.

Omg. I’m so sorry 😩

They have a large variety and if they somehow don't have your religious service available, they will make accommodations for you to practice. They do have a pagan service.

Part two coming soon! Do you feel ready?!

Abby Weaver a little bit just not ready for all them shots at reception

@@zykythnorton4427 whether you get the min or the max, it's over very quickly, just keep your arm relaxed!

@@AbbyWeaver I'm so excited! I leave on Sunday!

Aye I ship out the 22nd. Good luck

A good show

Cant go wrong with the classic beef stew

A lot of people tell me their favorite is the spaghetti! 😂
