how do i get better at land nav???

Go have someone put markers in the woods, print out a gridded map of said area with the markers on the map a and compass so you have your north beariNg and go at it do this 10 times with different markers and different terrain and id say you got it

did he say anything about water survial or land nav??

@@trissren4401 I don't remember hearing anything about land nav (so I assume it wasn't a big deal for him) and I asked him about the water survival assessment because I'm not a strong swimmer and he said it was really easy compared to other stuff and not to worry about it. If everything goes to plan I should be going to RASP in like 8 months so I can let you know how it goes then haha. The main takeaways I got from the conversation were that while it isn't easy, it isn't impossible and as long as you meet the pre-rasp requirements you will be capable of passing. He also pretty much said "just don't be a bitch about it and you will make it". I'm pretty sure he said most failures were people who quit and not due to a lack of ability to continue training. Some were medical and probably some from being underprepared physically, but most were voluntary quitters

@@ChickentNug whats the pipeline like to go to rasp? Im going to speak with a recruiter tomorrow and im kinda afraid to ask for option 40 lol. Can u tell me how u went through that process and how hard u had to study for the asvab jus to get the job

@@trissren4401 sure. I don't blame you for being nervous and I was too. Sorry for the massive message, but it kind of needs to be so I can clarify everything: What might work for you could be different than what might work for me, so don't just do this because I did, but I actually just got a contract to ensure I got the MOS I wanted (68W) and Airborne school (Option 4, not Option 40). My recruiter helped me decide on that because the Army changed how the pipeline works for Option 40s in the last few years. The way Option 40s work now is Basic training>AIT(or OSUT)>RASP>Airborne Instead of Airborne being before RASP, it's after now. They did this because a lot of people in the past went in with Option 40s and backed out as soon as they passed Airborne and didn't even attend RASP. The only issue is that with this pipeline, if you don't actually pass RASP, you will be assigned to a "regular" (not Airborne) unit in big Army. So with Option 40, the big upside is that you are guaranteed attendance at RASP and the downside is you are not guaranteed Airborne school. My recruiter helped me decide on an Option 4 because while RASP isn't 100% guaranteed, cadre and recruiters will reach out to your classes at both AIT(or OSUT) and after Airborne School and ask if there are any people who want to go to RASP. From pretty much everyone I've talked to that has experience with this, they've said that you are pretty much just as likely to get to go to RASP this way because the volunteers are going in to replace people who backed out of their Option 40s, and there are always a bunch of people who do that. So assuming it works out how it is supposed to, the Option 4 pipeline for me looks like: Basic Training > AIT > Airborne School (guaranteed) > RASP (not guaranteed but very likely). This way, I will be assigned to the 82nd Airborne no matter what according to my contract and I can leave once I am ready to go to RASP. Also, if I don't pass selection, I will be sent back to the Airborne unit I was already in before going to RASP in the first place and I will still be able to be an Airborne medic. Even if for whatever reason I'm not able to request RASP during AIT or Airborne, I can still contact the 75th's recruiters and I can get in to RASP that way. Also if you don't pass selection, you're allowed to retry in like 6 or 8 months or something (regardless of what contract you have), so it isn't that huge of a deal if I don't make it through. So for me personally, Option 4 was a better choice than Option 40 and my contract guarantees that no matter what I will be a 68W and in an Airborne unit (which I was told by the counselor at MEPS would be the 82nd Airborne). Depending on your MOS (or just what you want to do) this might not be a concern, but I was also told by a few people that Airborne units are more likely to be line units, so as a medic I will be more likely to be assigned to an infantry unit and less likely to be stuck working in a field hospital (which is kind of 50/50 with my MOS in non-airborne units). So I will still be pretty happy with where I end up if I don't pass selection for the Rangers. It depends on what your motivation is, though and what matters more to you. Do you want to be 100% certain that you will have an opportunity to be a Ranger and not sure you will be able to jump out of planes, or do you want to be 100% certain you will be able to jump out of planes and not certain you will be a Ranger?

@@trissren4401 for the ASVAB part of the question, to be honest I got lucky and scored pretty well both times I've taken it (I took it Sophomore year of HS and Senior year, since your ASVAB score only applies for 2 years after the test date). The ASVAB is kind of like taking the SAT but with more questions about general and kind of random knowledge things like how electronics work (and units related to them like Watts, Amps, and Ohms), auto and shop/ mechanical stuff (like gear ratios, pulleys, car parts, tool identification), and some other stuff like that on top of math, science, and reading. The last 3 for me were pretty easy because it's pretty much just stuff you learn in school, and the other stuff wasn't hard because honestly I'm kind of a geek and have spent a metric assload of time on UA-cam over the years watching videos on how that kind of stuff works. There are also a lot of good apps on mobile and websites on pc that you can use to do practice ASVAB tests. That way you can see how you scored and find out what areas you're lacking in. I think you can schedule a more official practice test with your recruiter, too, and it will be more accurate So make sure you do practice tests to see (pretty roughly, they aren't identical to the real tests) how you will do and find what areas you're not doing as well in. Then, just look shit up on UA-cam and teach yourself concepts in that field (like if you're not doing super well in auto/shop, watch videos on the different parts of cars or videos on the different types of valves that exist). I'm not a very smart person but I scored 92 on the AFQT (like the main score thing separate from the smaller scores for specific areas), which is a pretty decent score. I think the biggest reasons I got a good score were that I found the areas I sucked in and improved them. It's not really as much about how smart you are as a person (because I'm not far off average) and more about how much random shit you know. Some people will need to study a bunch to get a score they like and some don't really need to study at all. Just practice enough that you are confident you will do good enough to meet the requirement for your chosen MOS (and the required GT composite score for RASP which you can look up online I forgot what it is) and make sure you take the test without test anxiety. You'll do fine, it really isn't that hard as long as you practice first.

What’s the difference between rasp v and pre rasp

@destinygo4616 you go to pre rasp to prepare for rasp.

@@limbanimkorongo1061 oh wow so they won’t kick you out of pre rasp if you can’t physically do the physical stuff when you get there? I have opt 40 and I’m suppose to go to rasp in 2 wks and I know for a fact I’m not physically ready but I know mentally I won’t give up. I just need more time to physically get ready

@destinygo4616 congratulations, i dont know what they can, do or won't do but pre rasp is to prepare you for rasp, its meant to be 4 weeks, according to the ranger training us he said if you show your ready they will send you to RASP before the 4 weeks has elapsed. Why do you feel like your not ready? I feel the same its going to be the Hardest thing we ever done.

@@limbanimkorongo1061 oh ok thank you. And because physically I’m not there yet. I wish I had more time to prepare. But yes I heard it’s going to be extremely hard

Keep doing them but push pass 58. Do 58 then go for 82.

I gotta trick that got me to 103 in the 2 minutes. It was shooting for a goal that’s way higher that you can do. And telling yourself your not allowed to get less. So if your max is 58 tell yourself your not getting less than 70.

Couldn't hang 😊

Yo I'm shipping for basic in 39 days. Then I got 68w ait, then rasp, then airborne. Good luck bro

Look man just fuck it and throw your hat in the ring. Rangers and SF come in all shapes and sizes. Physical fitness is one of those things that anyone can improve as long as you stay consistent.

@@bruhbwoi3618how’d it go

You should be maxing everything so you can pass even when tired.

all uphill from what ive heard, so train for that

u prb will be fatigued during rasp so have a good buffer like 20-30% more at peak conditions

One thing I heard a seal say is that your never going to get faster/stronger at BUDS or whatever your going too. So be so far above the scores that you don’t have to worry about passing it even with a broken foot and the flu.

Honestly just doing bodyweight workouts so push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, running and whatever other type of cardio you want to improve in. For your neck I suggest lying on a bench and literally doing neck curls forward and backward and sidways. Once you can perform that with ease upgrade to a 5 pound plate or even 10 pound plate. Good luck man

bro you will learn everything you need to know in osut before going into rasp -what ive heard from the people in the know

I am sorry to hear that brother, definitely go back and get that green beret!

what did you fail at?

What about swimming?

@@ryneyost3076 don’t you have to take a swimming test when you at rasp?

@@louissaintherold807 Yeah man I mean if you know how to swim you will be just fine but it was not a pass/fail when I went

Thanks for watching man!

Good luck man you will kill it!

Update?

Thanks!

Thanks man, maybe in the near future

It was heart crushing!
