I had my nephew watch your videos to have him get an inside view on what to expect. You sure as heck explained what to expect in the Army better than me when I was in during the 90s. I think he’s leaning toward the Guard. Once again, thank you for all you do for these potential soldiers! HOOAH!!!
Christopher James Glad to hear I could help! Thank you so much for watching and sharing this video! Checkout ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tiMVDM6FzRY.html if he wants an in-depth review of both components... 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Back when I went through, if you failed to meet graduation requirements you were sent to a holdover company in the battalion before you got sent to the gulag on post to fight other holdovers.
I literally talked to my National guard recruiter here in AZ after watching your last video and made the switch from reserves to national guard! Thank you for putting out really great info 😊
Official Bryana Nikol Lanier Yay!!!!! That’s great to hear I was able to help you decide! Which video are you referring to? The Guard vs Reserve or How to Join the Right Way?
Official Bryana Nikol Lanier Hands down it is for that reason. Now, after you finish your degree and come to an end of your Guard contract and have a desire to explore your options in other branches... it’s an option or you can stay lol. 🙏🏼🇺🇸 Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Please share the Guard vs Reserve Video! That’d be much appreciated...
Hello SFC your absolutely right on spot I remembered when I failed my apft in ait. For me it was push-ups but took the acft the next week and finally passed it. The new pt test is no joke that takes time and most of all effort to pass
At 12N AIT PT is huge, we have pit and running days. Pit days we are in the PT pit doing lots of Core and upper body calisthenics. Run days 3-5 miles of running. It alternates every day. You are also right about why females fail the ACFT, the leg tuck.
I heart that Acft was postponed due to epidemic that major fitnesses are closed it causes recuits fail their pt. Is that correct? Because I’ll ship out soon and I wanna make sure what pt test I’ll be taking.
For me, it was either you go to another MOS or you get recycled over and over and over until you pass that test you failed Getting kicking out was a last resort and most reserved for people who did really dumb stuff, like commit sexual assault or tried to fight a drill sergeant
I was one of those who made many mistakes and tried to fight a drill sergeant that right there was the tipping point of my DS and I ended up getting POM im definitely not proud of my mistakes i made as a young adult im over 35 now and tried to re enlist my 2nd time and still have not been successful it hurts my spirit knowing that I cannot finish what I started it definitely doesn't pay to screw up and I regret all my mistakes the only thing I did good was graduate from AIT but was shortly discharged after they tried to convince me to stay but I was young made mistakes and didn't care about consequences believe me this F@#ken sucks to get rejected twice all I want is a 2nd opportunity to redeem myself and to prove that I have what it takes to become that soldier that can look back and say i have earned that sense of accomplishment
@@geminix821 What happened in the past in the past, so you shouldn't dwell on it. And being in the army is like having a normal job but with more rules
I'm an old timer who was in the regular Army and NJNG. I can't imagine failing Basic or AIT that is if you really want it the Army tries hard to help you make it. UNLESS things have changed since the 80's. I never comprehended things quickly myself but i always found the way the Army taught you by the numbers meaning if you go step by step by the numbers makes it easy to comprehend and the instructors would drill it in to you so you could do it easily. SO how you can fail AIT i don't get it. To be honest i found military life easier to get ahead in life then civilian life. The Army wants people who wants to be there and tries hard to make you pass. in civilian life you are a dime a dozen and if you can't do the job someone else will.
Not to mention that in civilian life, there are some grown people who never served or ever stepped foot in a military environment hold annoying misconceptions about soldiers and the military as a whole. Those people do not know what they are talking about and have no real idea what the military life is like and how soldiers are.
Shipping out at the end of August as a 74D. Super pumped! A little nervous about AIT. This video helped a lot, thank you Sergeant! Also ready for the ACFT.
I leave next month as a 12M firefighter. I don't have great communication skills. Of course I do speak english but its my second language. But I am thay guy who understand everything but speak less. Im really worrying that my language could be the reason of my possible AIT failure, because I need more time to learn things in english than avg. native english speaker. So I try to study as much as I can for my AIT like a EMS, firefighting basics and more. GoGuard.
I understand and no matter how you sound, as long as the other person can understand you and what you’re saying... you’ll be fine. Now and while at BCT I highly suggest you speak only English. With friends and family. Go out and talk to strangers if needed. For ing yourself to ONLY speaking English will significantly improve your conversations skills and flow. Trust me, you’ll be fine. Or, practice everyday by reading a book or magazine out loud everyday. Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🙏🏼🇺🇸 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼
Long story short, you can choose to get recycled or get reclassed, or in the most extreme cases, they give you an entry level separation discharge. There were two guys in my 13B AIT that failed, 1 was recycled and graduated with another class, the other was reclassed and became an 88M.
I'm finding as I just started AIT that it depends on your series and original MOS. My contract is for 13F and I heard today someone is getting discharged for repeated academic failure. There's also word that since there are very few people signing up for other 13 and 14 series MOSs that if you fail THIS school they'll just put you in another, easier MOS. It's the army, shit changes constantly.
The guidelines and expectations are stated within the initial counseling. Work hard and you won’t have to worry. Get complacent or just go through the motions with a poor attitude… reclass or discharge by the direction of their leadership. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck!
When I went to AIT , I knew a guy who flunked out of Field Generator Repair, who joined our class for Medic school, and passed without a problem. His personality was more like “Doc”. Doc W 87-93 AR/IANG
Probably strategically academically failed out to switch his MOS. Picasso! Lol Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Help me sir I’m currently in AIT. My mos is 68w and I found out it’s very hard for me because of language barrier and medical language is not for me. I already took exam I tried so hard to pass but I couldn’t make it. What should I do. I want to switch my mos. Will they allow me to choose another mos based on my qualifications? Or I have to choose whatever they want me to do it ?😢
If you fail another exam they’ll usually offer you to reclass to a new MOS that you’re eligible for but based on the convenience for the Army. Don’t say it’s a language issue because that could lead to a discharge. Good luck and sorry you’re experiencing that. 68W is a challenging school alone without a language barrier.
I saw someone fail, he just wanted out. Now this was Draft Time. Rumor was he was made a truck driver, duce and a half. Sent his ass to the only post that scared me, Fort Polk somewhere in the Gator Filled swamps of Louisiana. Never ever heard of anyone liking that hell hole.
Hello SFC! I’m going to basic in a month for intel. I’m excited but nervous about failing out of AIT. I’m gonna study hard and try my best. I just don’t wanna get recycled to another MOS. Say I fail AIT tests. Am I most likely to get recycled and keep taking the tests? Or get my MOS changed?
So my ex daughter in law is in the White Phase of AIT. She said she suffered an injury (sciatic nerve). Which she got during Basic but didn't say anything until she got to AIT. She says she is getting Medically Discharged. What is the likelihood of that happening?
If they said they’ll medically discharge her, then it will be done. Sorry to hear that… hope she heals fast! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Agent E Hooah Freakin Lujah! I’m excited and happy for you! Are you pumped up about it? Hopefully COVID19 doesn’t mess up your ship date. They just cancelled the next two weeks worth of ship dates. 🤦🏼♂️
Thank you for this video and every video! This has given us some of the best information for my son as he is preparing to go active duty after high school graduation. My son is about to go to MEPS tomorrow and has chosen 89D as his job of choice. He is aware of the high failure rate, but he is relentlessly determined to give it a go. I’m so nervous for him if all goes well and he signs the contract! His line scores were high, all ranging between 110 and 117. If he fails this AIT, what are his chances to get reclassed to another higher qualifying mos that the army “needs” at that time?
I'm female, 265lbs, have my knee replacement done 8 months ago, breast mastectomy done 3 years ago, asthma, anxiety, depression. Do you think i have a chance to be a chinook pilot?
Based on what you just shared, you would not be eligible to join and wouldn’t get passed the initial phone call unfortunately... Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ cracked me up hard hahaha. I'm preparing for basic and AIT while I get things situated. Have to get my cat to my good friend's house before I can finish the enlistment process. In the meantime, researching A LOT, as well as preparing for the asvab and meps. You're videos have helped a lot! Plus, I get a good laugh haha
Yes, you’ll be able to buy one while in AIT. Depending on your AIT location you will be limited to access outside of the barracks and immediate area. At the very least you’ll have access to your phone. Thanks for watching! HNY and stay blessed!! 🙏🏼🇺🇸💪🏻
I’m a female and can max out everything with the new ACFT except the 2mile run what happens in Basic training if I need help with my run time? Do I get recycled or sent through and get more help?
Baby What’s your MOS because Black minimum standard for the most physically demanding MOS’s is 18min. If you can run faster than that... you’re good to go. If not, by the time you get to your Final ACFT you’ll need to hit the minimum standards for your MOS. Checkout my ACFT VID: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WI1IJzcL09E.html and I talk about an update to if you fail the ACFT here and the new alternate event for the leg tuck here; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9yhDrPOjX7I.html You’re a Freakin Beast! That’s what’s up and you’re killing it! Props to you! Highest I scored a 534 but I don’t workout like that haha
tasha dobbins 100% but these days, a lot of training sites allowing it to be optional. Which I strongly disagree on... Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🙏🏼🇺🇸
You’ll be discharged… that’s it. Providing you never report back to MEPS or straight to the training site. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Unfortunately, you’ll need to finish it your active contract before switching to the National Guard… 😞 Sorry! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Study study and study! Lol ASVAB VIDEO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8_Zn3zsKdO4.html and ASVAB STUDY TIPS VIDEO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NNoEuXEycIw.html
Active duty paralegal here you missed the Bad Conduct Discharge, right between OTH and dishonorable, usually the result of a court martial if you didn’t do some war crimes or something horrible to catch a dishonorable.
Hello I have a question about active army, what if someone that’s an active soilder that made it through basic already but failed out of ait and got reclassed what were to happen if they fail there next ait?
One that was never deployed. Additionally, deployment’s are not a promotion requirement. They’re a good experience to have yes, but not required. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Depends on the school house. Don’t fail anything and you won’t need to worry. Typically if you fail the same consecutive test will DQ you from any school unless otherwise stated.
Seasonal allergies 🤧? Because there’s no way you could have enlisted with any other types of allergies lol Be careful what you put out into the universe lol...
Try not to fail and you’ll be fine. Focus in class, stay off your phone in the evenings and study instead. Write notes, read what you covered for the day and pay attention. Attention to detail and make sure you are well rested by going to sleep on time every night. Stay off your phone! Lol
You will not get nothing but a mcdonald's job if you have anything other then honorable. You will work for minimum wage all you're life. Good Jobs require good discharge theirs only one honorable! You will also lose your rights to own fire arm's... Forget the right to bear arms there is no such law... This law was ratified by Congress in years ago... By adding another law to it... Plus remember federal government laws trumps state laws. Also when you're at home conduct yourself accordingly you can still be prosecuted for fighting use of drugs anything that can be held against you in civilian life will follow you right back to your unit.. and you will be prosecuted by federal law which is worse than state law. Just be moral honest and polite. If you don't have these characters built within you do not join... America needs a strong military.. not a bunch of wannabe soldiers that have attitudes and half do things.
Is it possible to do a 2 year contract I know if I'm needed I can be called back up to 6 years after that . I want to spend a year in war environment I want that experience to fight for your life seems amazing
Not in the Army National Guard. The shortest contract is three years and it’s not guaranteed you’ll be deployed to a combat zone. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

What happened to just be given Motrin 800mg and keep rucking? Also when they hell was PT, a choice, I went through in 89 all the way through Jump School, with PT everyday. Hell we PTed in Saudi and Iraq. PT should always be Mandatory.
ACFT doesn’t directly get you promoted but eventually when it becomes for record will be part of your overall annual assessment. Higher your score, higher your rating will be. Strive for perfection and settle on greatness!
I LOVED MY DRILL SARGENTS!! They never held my hands, they never said good job, I was reminded that my thoughts, are not my thoughts. I was now government property. All these years later, they were my mom, dad, priest, and therapist!! Yet they never said a word. During graduation I got the "nod" and drill sergeant cracked a smile. -- I still remember him all these years later. DONT BE A LAZY FATTY, WHINING AND CRYING!! WORK HARD STUDY HARD! THEY WILL PUSH YOU HARD!! PROUDEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE!!
Depends on how big, the location of the tattoo on your hand, what the tattoo is of and which hand. Some are able to get an approved Exception to Tattoo Policy Waiver.
Depends but not until you’re 100%. If offered to go home, make sure it’s as convalescent leave or else you make be screwing yourself over. Thank you so very much for watching this video and i hope stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Advanced Individual Training is your MOS training. You learned about your MOS and completing tasks and exams that pertain to your MOS. It gets you ready for when you are sent to your duty station so you can be ready to start your new job.
Deven Snyder You’ll have to start out as infantry and your unit has a small sniper squad. They’ll offer it to you if you’re a good shot. At least that’s how it was explained to me in our infantry unit here in my armory.
Corporations or big companies will find out. Small mom n pop businesses won’t but that’s more so for city, state and federal jobs I’m referencing. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ I have tibial stress fractures & im not going home 😂 there’s some one here with Grade 4 FEMUR stress fractures and they ain’t letting them go home either.
@@Liaxlifts That’s great news! I believe they should let them stay and heal. Then get back into training. Just my two cents... lol THAnk you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
If you fail AIT, maybe you need to get lost!! >f you pass basic training but can't pass ait, you are disrespecting all who do!! As a Veteran and a taxpayer, you have just wasted my money and their time!! Your not a baby, grow a pair and see what you are made of!! Take accountability and pick up a book famiarize yourself with your job. Lots of preparation for Basic and AIT. If it was easy -everyone would do it!!
