Why?

@@MMMstag they don’t know what they are doing. It’s very unorganized. They will tell you your going to do something then they say oh no you can go home.

Womp womp go cry a river somewhere else kid.

You can always request the mos you want when it’s time to talk to retention. The mos you start off with isn’t the one you have to stay in forever. I’m going 14e for example and my request is going to be k9 when it’s time for me to renegotiate for the following 6 years after the first.

​@@амбалТоварищ he sounds like such a baby , I'm going in November and I don't see it like that at all. Sounds very whiny and I got the mos I wanted

@@TAPATIOPLEASEI’m going in November as well see you there 😂

@@Big_Uce95 what date I'm the 4th?

I scored a 26 on the asvab and got qualified for this program. So is it true that you can leave once you get a passing score?

@@carlosrodriguezjr1995you got a 26 before entering the program or while you were in the program?

If you are within body percentage and you score higher in your afqt you will renegotiate your contract and ship to the next bct class starting

This program has a lot of quiters

whats your ship date?

@@FA5Abe 14th may

@@joeyprecise378hell yea good luck man! my ship date is tomorrow 😅 how overweight are you?

@@FA5Abe literally like 5 lb

@@joeyprecise378thats crazy

Did you get paid during it?

Did you get your ocp's at the prep course?

Thats awesome bro, i was just wondering, when you do loose the weight to be fit enough for BCT do you just start it right after you are fit enough?

@@62.81I was told you do get paid. Not sure how much compared to basic

@@jericaayne2895once you make weight you’ll be sent to basic

I go May 1st as well

@@62.81 May15th, right behind yall.

I’m also going soon, have you started yet ?

@@mackeffect420 hopefully!! I’m waiting to hear back about my medical stuff and I still needa do the psychical but they’re taking awhile :( what about you?

@@Thriffanie oh man my medical stuff took months to get approved by meps they are sooooo slow lol I ship out April 3rd to start the program :0 good luck !!!

@@mackeffect420 maybe we’ll see each other 😂 !! Good luck with everything ,you got this!!

@@mackeffect420 I also leave April 3 for the program

Right

Retention/recruitment wasn't as bad

Which one? ASVAB or weight? I did the program for weight and I'm about to head back to basic. The longer you're at this program the more it helps with basic, trust me.

@@cornbreadcasserole7062 Imma do both programs I don’t have to the weight program but I’m just doing it to be more advanced I’m mostly there for academic program just wanna know the experience if they truly help

@@AngelMartinez-is6nd From what I can see a lot more happens on the ASVAB end. There's a lot more people in ASVAB than the fitness track so a lot of drama tends to occur compared to the fitness program. But if you focus on yourself and focus on your personal goals, you'll be just fine. I know a few people that went from 20s to high 70s on the ASVAB getting their dream MOS (if it's open). They focus on the sections of the ASVAB that are for the GT score so a lot of vocabulary classes, math and paragraph comprehension. You're in class a majority of the day from what I understand and you have PT in the morning if the weather permits.

@Angel Martinez OMG! Me too, I am heading there on the 23rd for academy and physical. When are you heading there ?

@@bintasani1709 I’m going to meps Thursday and then they should give me a official date of when I leave I’m only doing the asvab program

I leave for this program on the 17th of January, any tips?

@@andrewellis2020 whatever you do just don’t give up, cause at times it may feel like you aren’t making any progress, but just do what I did just remember all the people who are behind you and supporting you.

@@vghit921 appreciate that man!

@@andrewellis2020 are you going to fort jackson SC? i'm headed there Jan 9th for this program

@@brandonwilley3503 yeah man, I'm shipping out January 17th though

I got back from MEPS yesterday and they're shipping ARMS people out in a little less than 2 weeks for this next cycle (at least for weight/height, no idea about ASVAB). Not sure how many slots are left so that could be a reason why they might be urging you to retake it since you're so close. My recruiters weren't even sure how long the program would be around. I've heard a mix, some say it'll be around for forever or that this could be the last cycle. You never know. Keep studying and keep going!

Oh okay how was your Maps experience I'm from Bama so I might have to go to Nashville or Montgomery but I just got off the phone with my recruiter and that might be getting to go to that prep course at Fort Jackson that I made a 29 on it I have to go to Huntsville next week and verify it I was a little bit confused so I might be able to get to go sign my contract I got to go and do another fingerprinting screening Monday and fill out some more paperwork

@@highlife9343 MEPS is A LOT, not bad at all but it takes a lot of patience. I went to one in Texas. You could either finish in a day or be a holdover like me if there's something holding up the process. They say the workers there can be a bit rude but most of the time they're veterans or family of veterans who want you to move with a purpose and get things done. They do this 7 days a week so it's understandable for them to be a bit short, especially if it's a large group. When they saw us being respectful and listening, 99.9% of the time they were very motivating and friendly. You'll find some that want you to make it just as badly as you want to make it. Make sure you listen and ask any questions you have once you're with your counselor. Especially in regards to jobs. Make sure you listen to everything your recruiter tells you as well. I was lucky enough to have a team of recruiters who I trusted and they got me through the process. I was there for 2 days and was the last one to sign. Trust your recruiter, they'll look out for you even when it seems like things are going terribly. I'm going to the prep course (fat camp 😂) in October for the fitness portion then on to Ft. Leonard Wood. I'm wishing you nothing but the best and good luck! You'll absolutely make friends at the hotel before MEPS as well, I guarantee that. Everyone's just as nervous and excited as you. Most of all, remember you're in charge of your own success. You got this.

Oh okay it went great this past Wednesday I had to go all the way to Huntsville AL thanks for asking

@@highlife9343 did you go to the prep course?

Know which branch you want to join, contact a recruiter and do the ASVAB TEST get a 21% or higher and you are in 😊.

Learn the difference between there and they're.

@@Karoke77hey that’s mean 😭😭
