    phones and computers. sheesh. 64c from 1984. was self paced from a book when we were introduced to the CUCV & jeeps up to the 915's. Picked up my 88m in Germany when our HEMTTs were delivered.

      It’s definitely changed a lot, even just 10 years, let alone 20+ from what our instructors talked about. A lot is on the units and specifics SOPs instead.

      @absfitlife all open book testing. No laptops or tablets. I didn't see any reason for failing the written test but some people did lol. Like I said, AIT was a cake walk and I was over 32 years old when I hit basic training too lol

      @joeordile7657 oh dang!! lol our was on the computer BUT no open notes or open book, nothing like that. I think 5 ish people failed the first go and then passed on the 2nd attempt. We had some hands on tests as well with a matching paper test before the final

      @@Archangelactivewear I highly doubt any other companies allow you to have it during the week during training (past fatal accidents) I would guess most have the same type of structure for the weekend. Especially since you get pass and need your phone to get around base (pay taxi, etc) I was in Charlie

    So im just really nervous and home sick a littel. I know we get our phones and. Does time just fly by. Also what is there that i can do to just prepare myself. Im just so worried about the test both paper and truck test.

      @absfitlife  4 дні тому +1

      Hey! When you get pass on the weekend, use it, enjoy the time. Walk the PX, go bowling. Get some food. That is always a good way to feel ‘normal’. Time does go by pretty fast. Lean on your roommates if you need them. RED BOOK!!! STUDY YOUR RED BOOK. You get so many practice reps with the trucks. It’s weird but just do as your told. It’ll work out. If they ask who wants to go again, do it! Ask questions

    What was it like for prior service while attending ?
    What if i already have my CDL?

    • @absfitlife
      @absfitlife  7 місяців тому

      Prior service probably has an ‘easier’ time, only because you’re already use to the military way of things. But it’s still all the same training.
      From what I’ve seen, if you have your CDL you are able to ‘skip’ some of the training but there’s still a lot you need to go through.

      Not directly. Fort Leonardwood is not a licensing ‘facility’ but it makes it easier to get your CDL when returning home/going to your unit

      Congrats on making it through BCT!! If you’re a hold over like I was, you’ll have your phone that entire time. ONLY IN YOUR ROOM. You can’t go to the DFAC with it. Once training starts, phones are turned in. You get them back Friday evening after training and turn them back in Sunday around 1900

    • @absfitlife
      @absfitlife  6 місяців тому

      It’ll depend. Some classes may be able to start right away. My class had a week where we didn’t do anything. Graduation from BCT -> next day we moved right into our new company, then sat in our rooms for a week before starting. Had our phones, but that was it. We didn’t get our gear until during the first week. But it was just ACHs. (It might change depending on MOS)

    • @absfitlife
      @absfitlife  4 місяці тому +1

      @marwankareem477 hey!! Pre workout will not be allowed because of caffeine. You can’t have any during training days. As far as vitamins it will depend on the company you’re in. When you get there, you will be able to ask, and should be told, what you can have. And when you get your first pass and go to the PX you can then purchase that. I had to get a note from medical allowing me to have fish oils and airborne gummies
