- A day in the life of a SOLDIER | Army Pharmacy Technician. This video shows you what a day in the life of a soldier is like in the army pharmacy. A lot of people don't know we exist and what we do on a day to day basis. This day in the life of a soldier series, army edition is just a snippet of what my day is like. This is not my "everyday" because I would normally do PT on my own early and not go to my daughters daycare mid day but you catch the drift. This day in in the life of a soldier army pharmacy tech will give you a sense of the job and some of what we do. Its cool but very trying and tedious. Its hard to show you a lot of the job because we do handle peoples personal information but If you have any questions please comment below. Enjoy!

Beauty and fashion are my passion but the military is what Im apart of. I've been in the ARMY for 9 years now and it has opened up a whole new world for me. Im glad you all have decided to tag along for this journey I call life. It is a very exciting and enlightening one! Hopefully I can inspire you in some way to be a better and take something I may have to offer you. I support my SISTERS IN ARMS and by all means, do what makes you feel beautify.

If I didn't have as many mental health issues as I do, I would try to join the Army. This is probably the profession I would try to get into.
its is very draining sometimes and that is the thing people dont talk about. Thanks for being honest and identifying it may not be for you.
From one pharmacy tech (Walgreens) to another, I am SO envious of how much counter space you have! How many scripts does an army pharmacy fill in a day?
Your daughter is too cute! I used to work in Eisenhower... you brought back some memories lol. tfs beautiful, God bless you
Shannon Rockefeller thank you so much! Yea we just got here this year so I'm still learning the hospital.
Your child is adorable
Thank you 😊
I love ur daughter♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you soooo much!
Cute little one 👑
Thank you
So with this MOS, do y’all distribute medication to only soldiers or is medication distributed to civilians as well? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question i am just curious lol😊
We service all military dependents. So that would include spouses, their family members, retirees, veterans, and active service members. It depends on if you have tricare coverage.
Reminded me inpatient setup....I bet it’s the same as ft belvoir...
are you at ft Belvior?
ARMYprinncess just inpatient for now...hard to get in as a civilian...:p
oh ok I might be going to Ft Belvoir this year!
I noticed some of you at the Army pharmacy wear the army camouflage uniform and others wear the stereotypical pharmacy uniform. Is there any reason to that or Do yall have the choice to wear whichever uniform you want? I am very curious to know when you wear the army uniform to work as a pharm tech?
Hey, ive recently enlisted into the army with the same MOS. I get sent to Fort Sam Houston on October 20th. I was wondering if you had any tips on how to prepare for this job and any other tips for basic training.
For basic training....do what they tell you and work as a team! Its really not that bad and I would go back in a heartbeat. You will meet lots of people and make great friends. Pay attention to the details that the drill sergeant give you. Be at the right place, at the right time, in the right uniform. For the job, Pay attention to detail as well. This is a job that can kill somebody. Look at right dose, quantity, and strength of medication. If your unsure, as a pharmacist.
Do you ever see any field duty ? I know back in the day field duty was required at least 1 day no matter what MOS you had. I lived in the field (12B) & I HATED it.
no not really in my MOS. Im thankful for that.
So I was going to reclass to this MOS and from what our retention NCO was telling me, it's like cramming 2 years of school into 19 weeks. Is it really that difficult to pass or how would you rate that? Also do you enjoy it.. I'm like a big medical nerd and this was the only medical option for me to reclass to so I was hoping it'd be a fun one 😁
It is a lot of work crammed into about 19 weeks but its do-able lol. You really have to make the time to study because there is a lot of drugs and there is math too. As far as the job itself its not hard but it is mentally demanding because its long hours depending on where you get stationed and you are in a customer service job. You deal with the patients, dependents and retires so you get a mix of everyone. Its a good stable job though and something you can do on the outside.
Seriously how hard is AIT? Don’t know if I could make it
Its the math that gets people and a lot of memorization. You really have to be motivated to study because its fast paced. But not too hard overall...
ARMYprinncess what kind of math would you be doing for 68Q AIT?
Can you do a video on your ait experience for this mos? How hard was it?
I can but I went through so long ago a lot of things have changed. I will do one on the basics of this MOS at AIT though
ARMYprinncess oh I understand and I so appreciate that 😃
Hi! What is the work schedule like?
I’m a single mom of a 2 yr old. I’m thinking of going active duty but before I do, I would like to be prepared to juggle it all and make sure I’m able to go to school as well. Do you think it will be possible? Any advice I will appreciate :)
The schedule is dependent on the location and the unit. Im not able to give you the schedule because it’s different for every base. If your single you need help whether it’s from friends and family. You will have to fit school in outside of work
Before you said she looked like SweetsColour, I was like hey she sounds like Tiaa & then when you said that I just laughed lol
lol She does! I always watch her vlogs too. I like her. Who else do you watch that's military?
You, her, ArmyBarbie, BeingAndyJane, Jarnesha, kidthndr2, ThatGurlAmy
Thanks so much ill have to check some of those people out, I di watch ArmyBarbie and AndyJane. They are subscribed to me as well but some of the others Im not familiar with. Im always looking for new military people to watch.
Ofc girl. & yeah I notcied that some of y'all are subscribed to each other. I just love that!!!! Have you met any of them in person? Also I watch the others sometimes just not as much as I watch ArmyBarbie, SweetsColour & you... AndyJane a little more than the others some too.
Hey,
I recently joined the army as a pharmacy specialist. Do you have any advice for AIT and what bases should I try to work at upon graduation AIT? Do you prefer working in a hospital or are their other options?
I actually just recorded a video on my AIT which will be part of my Military 10 for 10 series that starts may 1st. Definitely subscribe so you dont miss that upload. Pharmacy AIT has changed a lot over the years and its definitely more strict. Take the studying serious because you dont want to be recycled. The material is not hard but you have to take the time to study the drugs and the math. For me math was the hardest part but if you take notes and pay attention you will be fine. They show you exactly what you need to know to pass. Enjoy San Antonio but dont go buck wild, save you money and stay out of trouble.
Do you know what's the minimum time commitment Pharm techs have to commit for active duty in the Army?
I think it's 5 years
I want to join the army as a pharmacy technician. I have a 10 year old son so I think my main concern would be leaving him when I go to basic 😖
Yes that would be hard. You just have to determine if its worth it for you. Weigh your pros and cons and make an informed decision.
Hi Armyprincess! I’m interested of becoming a 68Q, the only thing is that I have a 20months old and I am married. How do you cope up with the basic training without seeing your family? Is there a possibility of deployment overseas? Any words of wisdom to enlighten me. Would really appreciate it! Thanks!
Being away from your family is hard but it goes by fast. You will be able to write often and call sometimes. They can also come to visit you for basic training graduation. Your time in basic training is soooo occupied that you really spend it focused in learning what they are teaching you but its good because it makes it go by fast. There's always a possibility of deployment at some point, Its usually based off of the unit you go to, your MOS, or the duty location. Its hard to say if or when you will deploy but you have to take that into consideration. If you do deploy you will be doing your job. For example, I am a pharmacy tech so if i deploy i will be over there working in a pharmacy so its not all bad.
Words of wisdom:
-remember why your doing it and what your doing it for. This will help you get through the hard time as motivation
-Basic training is NOT as bad as people make it out to be. It goes by fast and you get to meet a lot of cool people.
-Your family will become your support system so make sure they are on board and in the know because they really help you get through your tough times in the military period, not just basic training.
-You get sooo many opportunities for a better quality of life, healthcare, and travel that to me these benefits outweigh the risks.
-the military is not for everybody but anybody can do it.
-focus on your physical fitness, start before you even go to basic ( running, push ups/situps) it will hep you once you get there
-basic training is all a mental game to help rebuild you as a soldier, you got this!
ARMYprinncess thank you so much for your input and for taking time to respond! Truly appreciate it.
no problem.
❤ can you talk about being a mommy in the military? Like how do you manage it all. How do you cope being away?
I'm definitely going to try to create a video for you on this. thanks for the suggestion!

3. have you ever deployed or went into the field that required you to leave your child behind? how was the experience. also how often do you go into the field.
4. what is your rank?
5.any pros or cons about being a mom while serving?

sorry for so many questions💜💜💜but If you could answer that i would GLADLY appreciate it😊😊😊
How long does it take to get promoted with this mos? I'm going to join and it is still open at the moment so this is what I'm going for
That sucks bc all I want to do is pharmacy
How’s the AIT for pharmacy specialist ? Is it hard ? Coz I’m 92F right now but I’m reclassing to 68Q.
NOT HARD BUT CHALLENGING.
do you get certifications that transition over to the civilian side??
Yes!
OMG Giselle is so cute😍, makes me want a little girl.
thanks!
What asvab score should I get to qualified for that job?🤔 I’m joining soon!!!
Im not sure about the ASVAB score but it depends on the GT score a certain score within the asvab. Ask a recruiter, they should be able to tell you. I took the test over 10 years ago so im not sure if things have changed so i dont want to quote you a number.
Your line score for ST needs to be a 95. I scored a 55 and this job is available for me.
Jayla Lane thk u 😘
ARMYprinncess ok love thx 😘
Jazz Black Valcin you’re welcome love
Do you guys ever goto the field?
Yes, it just depends on the unit your in.
So I'm planning to be a pharmacy technician in the army for two years does that count as experience since after I'm done with the 2 years I wanna work at a hospital pharmacy btw I'm in a pharmacy technician program in highschool and after I graduate do I just have to go through the boot camp training and not the pharmacy technician training in the army or how does that work?
If you join, yes you still have to go through basic training. They might let you skip the pharmacy school part but not 100% sure because the rules keep changing and the minimun time you can join as a pharmacy tech right now is 5 years. There is no 2 year option but that time will count as experience.
@@ARMYprinncess thanks for the information if I wanted to this for 5 years and after work at a hospital would they accept me or not bc of the army?
Hey I've always wanted to join the military but once I was really ready I ended up having a baby whose now 6 .. how long if ever do I have to wait to join the military? Should I just put that dream behind me?
the cut off is like 30 or 34. I definitely think you should do it if you still can. there are so many benefits and your child will be set with healthcare. there are sacrifices like long hours and deployments depending on your job but if it was me I would def do it.
What kind of training did you have to go through to become an army pharmacist
Do you get the weekends off as a 68Q
It depends on where you are stationed. Right now I am at a hospital so they are open 24 hrs with the ER so we have shifts to include the weekend. All of my previous duty stations were small clinics that were not open on the weekends so at those places i did not work weekends. It just depends on where you go and the hours of that facility.
Does 68Q require a clearance?
Yes a secret clearence
@@ARMYprinncess thanks! Is there site we can use to see what jobs are need a clearance?
Im not sure, you may have to speak to a recruiter about it. Try goarmy.com
How long was AIT?
I think like 4 months
More like 6 months
Do u ever deploy to a combat zone? How often do u deploy?
Yes we can deploy it depends on the unit your assigned to as far as where and how often
What is the hardest part of that mos when you were in ait?will i be able to pass that as someone who got out of highschool?
Yes if you did high school you will be fine...its really not that hard, you just have to be mature enough to make yourself study. There is a lot of memorization and the hardest part for me is the math but they show you how to do everything in school.
So I’m thinking about joining the army as a 68q but my recruiter told me if I joined with that mos I’d be required to have a minimum 5 year contract. I just wanted your opinion on this because I’m not sure if I 100% believe him. I wasn’t planning on enlisting for 5 years and I’d be a lot more comfortable going in for 4.
That sounds about right, I initially came in on a 5 year contract and all of my new soldier just getting to the unit are on 5 year contracts, I guess because of the money they put into sending you through pharmacy tech school and you get state certified in the end they want to make sure they get some time out of you. Really, the time goes by soooo fast. but weigh your options do whats comfortable for you.
