I appreciate this video, i'm thinking of going into the reserves/NG as they have opportunities to pick up assignments at cooler missions rather than active duty where you're stuck at a duty station for 3-4 years. About to reach my ETS date so contemplating the reserves heavily.

Honestly insane this genesis system. I got in right before this and can honestly say in the 2 years(not a long time) ive been in, i want to say over 75 percent of people i served with have lied about one thing or another that would have kept them out

Do you have a deep dive video on recycling? What does it look like on a deeper level? The incidence, prevalence, percent of recruits that recycle, etc? What does it look like if say, you get really sick during training or it fail some sort of testing etc. You touch on it several places but what video goes the *most in depth? Love your channel! Just a thought: have you ever thought about selling what to pack for basic training items on YOUR site? Your video is great on explaining what to pack and just to support the channel I bet people would buy everything from moleskin and cough drops to book bags and religious medallions. I would. Just an idea. Same thing for parents and items to send to recruits -sell em! ❤
Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Interesting idea. The video wouldn’t be that detailed honestly without DOD Data. You can be recycled in general for failing to complete any portions of one’s mandatory graduation requirements. Sometimes company commanders can do a waiver but not typical. Recycling to an earlier phase is optimal for a trainee but depending on the details and circumstances… one will get recycled to day zero. Which really sucks and takes a lot of self motivation and drive to redo portions of BCT. I’d say a good percentage are very apprehensive of redoing training but for the ones that stick it out… excel. As for the packing list idea… I love it and will look into it for sure! Thank you for the idea.
Unfortunately, not until you compete your active contract. You can always upgrade from reserve/guard to active but regulation states you cannot go from active to guard/reserve. 😞
@@TEAMSWARTZ I enlisted I got everything done paperwork physical PiCAT. I'm just waiting for my background waiver. I'm nervous to be honest. All my charges were from when I was a Minor all got dropped to misdemeanors. I'm also based in California
So I just got out of active duty this month and I’m currently thinking of joining the guard as of right now, unfortunately I didn’t transfer directly, so I just hope I don’t have to do the medical screening at meps
If you’re not contracting within 6mo of discharge from AD, last I checked you could avoid MEPS with a valid PHA. I believe we got a new update that if I recall correctly, may have been extended to 12mo from discharge from AD but I’d have to look that up. I haven’t worked with a PS individual in awhile so I didn’t care to read it thoroughly lol Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck!
You’ll need an administrative waiver for the discharge and for that reason, too easy and you’ll need a medical waiver.

Actually, if you have a VA disability rating no matter what percentage, your payments will stop upon recently. Once you get discharged, you can pick uo where you left off. There isn’t any repayment involved (except weird circumstances) .
When did that happen? You’re saying you CANNOT get your disability rating on the days you don’t drill? I’m gonna have to disagree with that… I have a bunch of friends who still get their VA compensation on the days they’re NOT wearing the uniform…
hey man, i passed the meps no harm no fault. And then i found out that i have high blood pressure and prescriptioned before shipping to bct now my unit refusing to ship me and they say you will get a discharge. What do you think?
Sounds like you shot yourself in the foot and you have no other options than to workout, eat healthy and work on getting yourself to normal Blood Pressure readings and off medication for a few months before you can reapply. US ARMY MEPS MEDICAL WAIVER GUIDE & BEST TIPS | WHAT IS THE US ARMY MEDICAL WAIVER PROCESS? ua-cam.com/video/P02k-kCmTio/v-deo.html You’ll need to be off medications for at least 6-8 weeks and you’re more than likely need to wait 6mo before you can apply depending on how they discharge you. After the 6mo you can reapply and my recommendation is monthly go to the doctor to get your blood pressure checked and this will show proof or evident that you’re stable for a period of time and significantly help with your medical waiver. Good luck and best wishes!
@@TEAMSWARTZ got it. Trying to work on my reading even before get a discharge but in the case if i get discharged as a permanent resident. What type of reenlisting code do i get get do you think sir ?
What’s up big SFC. Question from active duty guy who wants to go Guard after contract. If I have a VA rating of 70%, can I transition into Guard still ?
Unfortunately, the cut off percentage is 30% for the Guard but Reserve might still be able to take you. Work a direct transfer from AD to Reserve and if it all works out, be sure to get you pay situated with the difference in VAD and your normal pay or be prepared to pay back in taxes at the end of the year. ua-cam.com/video/vQQCj6ZaGZo/v-deo.htmlsi=3MaWpoNp9PHG2Uib Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ thank you SFC !! Appreciate it. Looking forward to see what life is like after active duty. Your UA-cam channel helped me out even before I enlisted
Thank you for the video this is helpful! I know you covered this in a livestream already but I am still confused on how the retirement would work for transferring from active to the guard/reserve. Could you explain how it works again?
Unless you do 20yrs on federal active duty service, you’ll retire as a part time soldier instead combining all your active duty time and reserve/guard time. Active Duty Retirement: minimum of 20yrs of active service (full time) Reserve Retirement: Combination of Active and Reserve/Guard time to equate to 20 + years of service.

That’s not what this video is about but def make sure your PHA is less than a year old and begin the process 30-60 days prior to your ETS Date.

With a valid PHA, correct. Failed to contract within 6mo of ETS date requires you to complete a MEPS medical exam. Good luck! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
