by the way for those that dont know this and the Army does not tell you i found out on the way out lol. you can fast track as they call it at leadt you used to be able . in other words like my MOS was 63S heavy wheel mechanic 10tons and above . do you can take all the test at once and faast track witch means you test out before everyone else does they have to got to the school house ever day and do their thing that the NCOIC has for you. not if you fast track you haVE TO STAY ON POST AND AT YOUr AIT UNIT BUT YOUR DONE WITH SCHOOL YOU TOOK ALL THE TESTS AND PASSED your golden man.
My gf is there rn in 39T in Charlie Co and she said they might get rolled again because there’s too many NG and reserves. She graduated from FLW on july 15th and still hasn’t started
Depends on if you are going for basic training or for AIT. If you go there for BT you don’t have access to any gyms at all.. you are basically confined to one area 24/7. If you go for AIT there is a gym on the base, but it was closed due to Covid when I was there, not sure if they’ve opened it back up yet. I mostly just did my own workouts in my room.
So is dude going to ranger school after 88m . Or is it even possible to go to airborne or assault school. If I sign up as a 88m. STL over here too. Still trying to figure how the shit works
For us phone privileges went like this: first of all, black and gold phase for us didn’t have a difference (they said we were a good class) we got our phones during both black and gold phase, the entire weekend Friday at 1700- Sunday at 1900 . But the normal black phase you would get your phone for 2 hours each day. (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and during gold phase you will get it for the entire weekend and also during gold phase you will get a pass to walk around base with your battles without drill Sargents, you can shop, eat, etc. And we didn’t get to have visitors during our AIT due to Covid so I’m not sure how that works. But I’ve heard that in the pass visitors were allowed on weekends
@@ardariustv thanks a lot. Just graduated BCT at Fort Sill. Waiting to get shipped to AIT. We were allowed to have in person family day/graduation so I’m hoping they’re starting to open it up everywhere and I’m allowed to have my girlfriend visit me at least once during gold phase. Appreciate the knowledge homie🙏💙
@@ardariustv it’s changed. I’m in black phase now in bravo 58th and we get our phones the entire weekend. From Friday night to Sunday night. We also get passes every Sunday.
had a question for y’all😂so i got earrings but i ain’t had them for crazy long yet only like 8 months but i was wondering y’all know any way there’s sum around just letting em close up? like putting sum else in em or sneaking earrings in to wear at night?
Did the prior service / Re-class people wear their combat patches & Airborne wings, CAB, CIB?? Were they allowed to, is my question. Also, if you already have a CDL. 88m AIT is shorter, right??
Yes prior service members wore their patches. And yes if you have CDL the training is supposed to be shorter, BUT we had someone in our Truck with CDL and he still had to go through the whole process with us. I’m not sure why,
@@TheTalentedBear 915 was easy for some and also hard for some people . Personally for me it was easy once I learned the technique that worked best for me. You will have different instructors give you different techniques for backing. Just find the one that’s easiest for you . I personally think the civilian instructors teach best for backing lol. But Goodluck 💪🏾
I just got to 88m AIT a few days ago, my classes don’t start until the 28th and I’m pretty sure we are supposed to have our phones the whole until classes happen I think. What are phone privileges like though throughout your training? Also with the passes how often did you get them and did you ever get off base passes?
I was in c co 33T u get ur phone Friday after dinner chow until Sunday night, passes for us we got a 1 day pass the 2nd week and from the 3rd week on since we passed inspection we got 2 day passes from like 1300-1700.
@@hurstfamily1471 not quite sure about that one, but mostly what people did on passes was get haircuts and go to the px and get food and go to the other small px to get some gear if they needed it. But honestly with this new COVID strain they probably not going to be allowed on pass, but you can always ask i guess.
You’ll do great! Just listen to your instructors on the pad.. they’ll literally give you all the answers needed to pass all assessments just pay attention and you’ll be okay.. good luck 👍🏾
@@joshuamccay8374 lol I didn’t study. And I did great on each assessment. Just listen to the instructors, they literally give you all needed information. But of course if you’re struggling with a particular assignment throughout the course you should focus on that more. And NEVER be afraid to ask your instructors for more help, they are there to help you become a proficient 88M
We never actually got contraband checks. They would always threaten us and say for example “room checks @1800” but they would never really check, they just wanted to see who would get nervous and confess that they had contraband. They don’t really check rooms unless you give them a reason to.
@@Aussault 💪🏾. And that’s really only for Charlie company.. I’m not too sure about the others. But if you get Charlie company every thing I tell you is FACTS lol
Lol I was a little distracted but there are 3 different test/assessments to complete the course. The first assessment will be hands on… you will be assessed on everything your instructor has taught you about the M1120 HEMTT Load Handling System. The second assessment will also be hands on and it will be on everything you learn about the M915 semi trailer truck. And the final test is an online test over a book that they give you on Day ONE. It’s called a “Red Book” everything you will learn throughout the entire course is in the red book. The red book test is 50 questions. It wasn’t hard at all I passed with a 98(only missed 1 question). You also will have 2 Road Test, one driving the LHS, and one with the M915 In order to pass ALL assessments you have to get at least a 80%
Yes it really is 6 weeks and 4 days, if you pass all necessary graduation requirements on the first time. Some people had been there for months because they couldn’t pass 🤦🏾♂️ I graduated in 7 weeks and 5 days because we started a week late. But the average is 6 weeks and 4 days
Too easy ! If you license to your instructor at the pad everyday, they give answers to the test just by teaching you. And you could probably study/read through the book about 3-4 times and you’ll pass it. It’s super easy, I missed 1 question and made a 98. Some people (my roommate in the video) never studied and passed with a 100. So don’t stress over it, you’ll pass for sure
