- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- This is how to correctly join the U.S. Military, assuming you have no medical issues. How to handle a recruiter, getting in shape, the ASVAB, MEPS, and the contract. Best of luck!
If you're interested in the Navy, there's a lot more videos on the channel that answer questions you probably have. Feel free to leave comments and I'll answer them!
Thank you, Sir, for your service. Thank you also for sharing this prudent advice. Really appreciate the time you take on explaining in depth the ins and outs of the military. For sure I will be joining the Navy. Had my heart straight and not turning back. Just needed to do a year of reviewing for ASVAB (Like you mentioned) weight conditioning, and continue with my job internship. (It is my post college field work that will help me for the career path that I found in the Navy)
I hope you are having an amazing time in the Navy and the future endeavors that await. Take care. Go Navy! Hooyah!
@@marvinaloysuis5827 Thank you! Best of luck. This is the way to be the most prepared for the military as possible and isn't the only way to do it. I hope it goes well when you go!
@@HaedenBeck You’re welcome, Sir. Thanks.
@@marvinaloysuis5827 What rating are you picking?
@@HaedenBeck Religious Program Specialist. (Part of Navy COOL)
It is to assist Naval Chaplains in helping them providing a pastoral program and spiritual support to sailors, Marines, and families. I am currently doing my internship/volunteer at my parish church in parish ministry that matches my career path/planner.
They pulled that trick on me too at MEPS, they said IS wasn’t available, but I held my ground and kept asking them to check again, and eventually I got IS.
Really great video but the stereo audio messed with me a lot
Yeah I'm just now figuring out how to make decent videos, I'll figure audio out soon. It's really a one man show here and this video took forever and a day to produce hehe. Thanks!
Good advice on walking away. Marines denied me 2x, im in the process of trying to join the Army now and if they say no I will try the Navy. I have a medical condition but in my personal opinion it shouldn't be an issue. I just hope the individuals at MEPS give me a shot!
I'm really tempted to ask what it is but I won't. I hope you get a waiver and get in. Best of luck!
@@HaedenBeck Hyperhydrosis, excessive sweating
@@proudcheerdad5220Don’t worry. You can do it. Keep on trying and never give up. If your call is to serve in the military, keep on knocking on doors until one will open up for you. I believe in you. Prayers for you that you get in. Take care.
Thank you for your video. My son is 16 wanting to go into the navy. We had no idea how to go through this process. It's a relief to know we are on the right path.
Best of luck to him!
I just wanna say I appreciate you making this video, it helped a lot!
I just got home from MEPS and was there for two days. I scored a 96 on the ASVAB and they really tried to push Nuke to me it's insane. My recruiter and everyone was mentioning it. The job counselor at the end almost didn't give me the rate I want (AC), because he said I qualify for every rate but highly recommends Nuke and said I'll get a 75k bonus if I join. He said I'll probably won't get this rate, because I overqualify in his words. But I stayed firm and insistent for AC, he folded and agreed to sign me as that rate but he still gave me a Nuke contract to take home saying I can change my mind anytime.
I just followed the advice here and got what I want but it was interesting how hard they push Nuke when you score enough for it.
Excellent video!
Glad you liked it!
Good video. I enlisted into the Navy in 1987 and unlike yourself I did not have such a good experience. I have my own advice based upon my firsthand experience. Number one, if you have a "bad vibe" about your recruiter...dont use them. Use someone else. Lot of losers in recruiter duty.... people they dont want out in the fleet. Number two, when you go to MEPS and you have a specific objective you want...AKA a specific rate or program...and the MEPS people refuse to give it to you in writing...walk. Be polite about it, say "Sir, I came to MEPS to enlist into the Navy to get program X in my enlistment contract. If you dont have a quota for me for that program or you dont think Im cut out for that program, I will go home." Again be polite about it, but be firm with the MEPS people and be decisive. Dont enlist into a rate or program that you dont want. You WILL be miserable if you do that. If you are enlisting into the Navy to be a Corpsman but MEPS insists you enlist as a Gunners Mate or into Seaman Apprentice program... politely but very firmly WALK. Sign nothing.
I’m on the same boat as you. I’m going to be 25 in December and I’m ready to join. I’ve had only one surgery on my shoulder which I plan on giving them everything for that. I do have mri and x-rays done on knee and spine. For past injuries. They will find out about those obviously but I’m curious if I should bring in medical papers about those ones as well. I never received after-care treatment. No pt or surgeries on those. What would you say my best course of action would be to handling these medical issues? I appreciate your channel greatly!
I got a 70 on my PICAT, even though I know I’m qualified for a lot of jobs, I want to be a MA so that’s what I’m going to be.
Best of luck!
Max age to join the Navy is 41 not 39. But other then that man, your videos are awesome and very informative. I'll be joining soon before December hopefully. How many questions is the ASAV?
Holy cow, you're right. They just raised it a few months ago. When I joined it was still 39. I'm not sure how many questions were on it. They gave me a computer test of it at the recruiting office and I got the 84 and then it was "verified" at MEPS by asking a few similar questions and they were like yeah it's an accurate score.
"Let me call my Chief" sounds a lot like "Let me talk to my manager at the used car lot"...
Thanks for sharing , i feel like we have the same attitude and mentality, i do Plan on Joining the Navy, ill be taking the asvab on Tuesday, i want to be an IT. Any idea of what score i will need for it to be available.
For IT it's AR+2MK+GS=222 or AR+MK+EI+GS=222. In other words the math, electronics, and science sections of the test add up to 222. Best of luck, feel free to ask any questions and there's a ton of boot camp information on the channel.
@@HaedenBeck thank you for reply, on a practice i scored 56 , IT is definitely my top choice but i do have interest in STG and OS aswell.
@@SuPerFAde89 I used the channel Grammar Hero to practice, and just obsessively came home from work and did my homework like a high schooler every night. When it's time to go to MEPS come back to this video before you go and refresh on the games played there hehe.
Hi, I came across your channel while on my journey applying to the Navy. I took the PiCat instead of the ASVAB and scored a 64. They told me that I would be able to get contracts in the field that I wanted (medical) with my score. What is the likely hood that this is possible?
Well the medical rating for the Navy is HM, hospital corpsman, which is similar to the medical equivalent of other branches and in the civilian world would be something like a doctor's assistant. Although there are opportunities to move to other areas like combat medic with the fleet marine force and so on, but most HMs give flu shots, handle questions, and are just assistants to officers, and officers are the ones who are the real doctors and dentists and so on. To qualify for HM you need, or so it says online "VE+AR+MK+GS≥209-OR-MK+GS+2VE≥209"
Your ASVAB is broken down into sections, the recruiter should hand you the sheet that breaks down the score from each of those sections like math and science and reading etc and if those scores add up to 209 like it says there you should qualify. You can also just straight up ask the recruiter do I qualify for HM and they'll say yes or no. Whatever happens, make sure that your rating (job), enlistment bonus, and everything you agreed upon is on the contract, read it front to back, and if it's not on the contract - it ain't happening and you're at their mercy.
The age for navy increase to 42 years old.
I enjoyed your video.
They want to push any job on you and cooking 🧑🍳 switch I love. But I don’t want to cook for crowd. 👎🏾. 😁
I honestly don't know how I feel about my job I got ITS and not sure if I'm gonna enjoy it or not :\
You can go back to the recruiter and change it but it'll probably change your ship out date
Did you tell your recruiter you only wanted MA? Ive heard some people say some recruiters will not work with you if youre job locked.
You're the one that has all the cards, they need you to join for their quotas. Once you sign and are at the navy's mercy at boot camp, that's when the navy is the one with all the cards.
@HaedenBeck Thanks for the response! I will keep that in mind. I was originally planning on the airforce but after I learned that you have to do a top 10 list thing and they basically choose for you I didn't like it.
Do you plan on re-enlisting?
Too early to say.
Thanks for all your videos and information- I’m currently going through meps but got hit with needing some medical waivers to clear
According to the recruiter, he says almost all of his recruits get hit with some waiver requirement or another, hoping that’s the case
I’m going for cti and have all my scores in order. I’m interested to know what happens in an instance where I sign for that job and then there’s a issue with security clearance after the fact, (I’m not thinking there should be) but I’ve been told sometimes that clearance won’t even be determined until boot camp
If your ship out date is far away, they should settle all of your medical and background checks before you get too deep into the military, but there's no way to know for sure, it happens behind the scenes.
Navy website says the max age is 41.
They raised the age after I made this video, but you're correct
Is it true that u get shots on the arrival of bootcamp, if so how much
During P days there are two rounds of shots to protect you from a variety of ailments, most notably the peanut butter shot.
@@HaedenBeck what do you mean by "peanut butter shot"
@@davidlarson7871 Penicillin shot. Everyone calls it the peanut butter shot, and it goes into your behind.
Don’t do it! Unless you have no options
Why not? It's a great way to fill up the years between 18-22, a time when a lot of people are either working at some job they won't last at or drowning in debt in college. Military, and then free college afterward. Lot of my high school friends did that, and instead I came here late.
@@HaedenBeck thats why i said unless you have no options
Step 1: dont do it.
In the words of our president: c'mon maan
@@HaedenBeckhow about you join, and go do 12 hr shifts Mon - Sun
@@561reaper I joined in 2022 and work 12 hours a day, and like it.
@@HaedenBeck wtf is your job? And what branch are you in?
@@561reaper Watch the video and find out
The audio?
Yeah I gotta remake this one.
Great video brotha! You are cunning and know what you want I respect that dearly🫡
