SFC(R) Tohill here... Glad you are doing these video.. Wish I would've had this when I left for basic.. I was so clueless.. I believe a good subject for you to cover is retirement... Retirement should be on every soldiers mind from day one.. How to earn retirement point, the difference between title 10 and title 32 and how to read an RPAMS report.. Good job soldier..
I just swore into the army yesterday, my mos is 91 bravo my ship date is January 7th 2021 going to fort Jackson Edit: I was supposed to go this year but rona pushed me back since I'm only 17 and a junior in highschool
Been watching your video's for a few months now and I gotta say. Damn good content. I just got my waivers approved and I should be going to meps soon. Hopefully 15W is available
I was born in Fort Wainwright because my father was in the Army and he was stationed there for about 8 years and we later moved to South Carolina in 2012.
Hi Nico, My son starting basic training at Jackson, on November November 1st. (He's a bit nervous understandably about starting Boot Camp in just over 2 weeks. But I know those 9 weeks will fly by faster than he realizes and will be ready and excited for his next step after). I notice you're post has a date of almost exactly a year prior (November 2nd) Wondering how this past year has went for you there?
@@jayviviano109 I went in 2020, it was very cold and rainy but totally doable, the drill sergeant’s goals aren’t to make you fail but to teach you to overcome your challenges. At the time it was very stressful, long days, short nights, and plenty of yelling and exercise lol, but looking back I have countless happy memories of my time there. It definitely feels like it takes forever, but the last few weeks when you realize how close you are to the finish line makes it feel like it has gone by so very fast. All in all, it’s a life changing experience that taught me a lot about myself and how much more I’m capable of than I previously thought, as well as the importance of communication and teamwork. If you’ve got any more questions, I’m happy to answer!
My basic training will be at Ft Jackson on February 23rd I am really excited to start my AIT is at Ft sill Oklahoma and Airborne School at Ft benning and my MOS is 88M truck driver
I'm going to Fort sill this June, super excited about all the changes that I'll undergo. A little bit worried for all the negative possibilities like losing my leg or arm, that kind of stuff......
Hey Ben so I’m still a freshman going into my sophomore year. But I’m really confused cause I’m trying to plan my career early but I’m still a little confused. I really want to go to the Army too. I really want to go for months after basic training then come back home to work in my community is that possible I can do that?
You kinda have that mixed up a little OSUT like I went too is called One Station Unit Training but it does not start after basic its combined with the basic so we dont do AIT after etc so if its 16 weeks OSUT for tankers for example we are on tanks day 1 of basic training and are sent to a unit straight out of osut.
Push ups, sit-ups, air squats. When you build the strength (if you don’t have it already) add pull ups. Those will build a good foundation for other workouts. Good luck!
Yo I’m really into being a medic too in the army. But I’m also doing emt classes does that help a lot if I want that spot in the army a lot or it’s the same learning I do in those classes
1 How long on average would you say MOS school is? 2 I was looking at the pay charts for reservists and it didnt look too convincing, how good is reservist pay in your opinion? Was 7 weeks into bootcamp at Paris island for communications, but got sent home for asthma😐now I wanna join the army lmao
Hello! Just a bit curious. Let’s say you’re a new recruit or you’re under BASIC TRAINING. Is there by any chance you could go training with the old members at the military? Or the ones that graduated already. Is there an instance that they go join train together?
I’m enlisting after April I’ll be a senior in high school then. Hopefully the dental specialist job would be open . But question ...would I go to Fort Sam Houston for AIT ?
Was suppose to leave for Jackson June 29th but broke a finger so now I leave next Monday🤦🏻♂️ I’m excited been waiting over a year now sense I signed up
Ft.sill is awful luckily i only had to fo AIT there lol but basic training is more fun than you hear..yea its hot humid youll be sore/tired n hungry but its fast pace goes by quick
My brother got a Athletic Scholarship to West Point and his last day of basic training is this Sunday. So we can expect him to go like AIT or OSUT... will he be sent to another location or stay at West Point?
Could you possibly share some information you know about 35L. I am also curious as to the timing, when you would get sworn in, is it before or after your AIT?
I will ship out on 11/2. So due to the COVID-19 we need go earlier like 5days to receiption stay at 14days around.what we do in there exactly. So nervous and exciting.
Ino 11b osut is basically harder than basic training but does anyone know what 12b osut is like. I know it’s shorter than the rest (which I’m so thankful for 😂)
I've got a question, if you have mild atopic dirmitities/skin asthma can You still join the army?? And what's the height requirement for the army in Ft.??
I am in fort Sill and going to fort Sam Huston after Basic but My some of my 68W battle buddies have different AIT start day why is it different and is that mean I wont go thru AIT with them?
I wanna do reserves cause I'm going to do college for 4 years but I want to be in Special Forces but I heard they don't do reserves what do you suggest? Please help
So hey, after basic training, you don’t get to see your family, girlfriend, nobody? You go to AIT right away with no break at all? That’s what I’m getting from your explanation.

hey, we go to basic training together lol.
Headed to Fort Jackson on the 13th. My MOS is 19D, hella excited but hella nervous. Been training but still don’t feel like I’m in great shape

I'm a 15-year-old girl who is very short and has no muscle at all getting ready for in 3 years to do the very beginning of army basic training lol
Push ups, sit-ups, air squats. When you build the strength (if you don’t have it already) add pull ups. Those will build a good foundation for other workouts. Good luck!
There will be a physical and mental examination first, then see if you enter or not. Good luck.
Heading to Ft Leonard Wood, 30 March 2021, Future 68C... Nervous but excited for the this new journey
You said things are a little more lax when you move onto the next phase and location- what is the schedule usually like after you get there?
Do you need a car while being in the military to get around? Or advice on where to leave my vehicle? I just finished paying mine off 🙂🙂🙌🏼
You don’t absolutely need one but it’s more convenient if you have it, and you would just park it in the barracks parking lot.
@Jana Parma that’s a good information from you! 😉 thank you!!
Going to Fort Leonard Wood not looking forward to the peanut butter shot 😅
Great Sir , well done your info..thank you..Enjoy to hear you..Stay Safe
Yo I’m really into being a medic too in the army. But I’m also doing emt classes does that help a lot if I want that spot in the army a lot or it’s the same learning I do in those classes
