Yooo I watched this vid 3 years ago when it came out and I came back to say we made it On our way up there 💪🏾💯

Now you get sent to RASP before Airborne and if you fail out you’re SOL needs of the army and will not get your wings.

I appreciate the video

Sir, I just randomly came across your videos but didn't I talk to you at the recruiting station here in Illinois? My recruiters are SSG Borrego and SFC Vele

Slept on video, going in as 31B headin to Missouri for basic and AIT in January

We used to joke that the first five jumps were ALL night jumps -- 'cause we had our eyes closed!

Sapper School is hard. Less political is better. Let it be knowledge and physical based without biased. Lt’s today should know nothing. Nobody wears rank. Grow the NCO corps not just O’s. That’s a huge fowl.

I think the problems are not just people scared of joining the military man. If you think for a second. There are so many questions that people have about the military? Why should I defend a country / government that doesn’t give a sh@t about our veterans? Who are my real enemies? What am I protecting by deploying in the Middle East? Why there is a suicide epidemic in the military? The questions go on.

Insulin is released by pancreas 😂😂 not liver what a f***ing soldier

Very cool. Did not know that even after four years in

You'd make an excellent Captain in the 13 Court Guard Squads.

In america? does that include... south america? Just wondered. I hope you guys get these kind of vacations. etc

Are there waivers that can bypass age limits for officer programs? If so, can you assist me?

What airborne unit is this?

The Army route is easier for black people.

What if I want to get into OCS but don’t have a bachelor’s degree? 😢

How difficult was it to get into OCS? I’m enlisting as a specialist but my main goal is to become an officer in a year to a year and a half

Glad I found your channel here. I originally followed on a different platform when you were just getting into Basic.

As a retired CW4 flight warrant, I'd like to make what is hopefully a slight correction. Non-chief Warrant officers may not know their jobs all that well. We're talking "spots" or WO1s. I don't know and have never known a single CW3+ who didn't know their job inside and out and their specialization inside and out. I was flying bitch with a CW4 in the Battle of Baghdad, and there was a Captain (our C.O.) who was told to go take a seat so the Colonel could talk to the CW4 about the battle situation. We know our jobs, I promise you.

I got a Forrest ranger tab. Proud of it suckers...

When I entered the Army in 1968, my recruiter guided me to the Intelligence field. At that time, the intelligence analyst was designated 96B. When did it change? I carried the 96B as my primary until I retired as a MSG in 1990. Various assignments around the world from Corps level, NSA, Division G2 to instructor and project development at Ft Huachuca.

I know this is an older video, but just wanted to say for the sake of the viewers (and Dom) that that's a lot of vitamin C. 6000mg plus whatever is in the other two vitamins. Even taking two general vitamins probably isn't necessary and might not be recommended. Upper limit recommended for most adults is 2000mg according to Mayo clinic (though I'm sure that varies) and can lead to various side effects if taken in extreme excess. It's a water-soluble vitamin so it's very hard to have any major side effects from it, but it’s at least probably unnecessary in most cases. Vitamins are hard to overdue with general diet, but with supplements it is good to have some awareness (especially if it were fat-soluble). Not trying to criticize Dom, he may have specific reasons that I’m not aware of. Moral of the story is more isn’t always better with vitamin supplements

Bro I love the us military

You probably passed my brother at some point boot camp South Carolina

My brother did this school No thank you his sister hates heights

Bro you gotta edit out the smacking sounds 😣😣

Can you go to OCS if you’re an enlisted soldier BUT you complete a college degree in the military or wherever?

I was raised to fear guns. I was raised that violence isn’t the answer. I was raised that hitting back is bad I was raised to be a soft person

Hope you figure out your path man, God bless you

Only way id ever go back into the military is as a 2nd Lieutenant, a commissioned officer. After age 35 dont signup as enlisted.

Music too loud but good info

Just protect the constitution and never turn your back on the american people.

I need help trying to loose weight for air force

Sam Damon. Let's go.

A nation founded on hate, opression, theft, rape, racism, salvery and and murder can not abandon the principles it was built on and still maintian power. Acccepting truth is a very hard thing to do because it requires letting the ego die which is very painful. I took me 44 years of lying to myself before I accepted what I had witnessed my entire life as reality.

One thing that is missing is establishing extra incentives, that is giving awards (commendations, ribbons, time off, bonus pay, etc.) for those who do meet their goals or those who perform best.

If you’re in command why aren’t you delegated responsibilities?

You will be fine brother. I just finished 18 months of command last year. I was in familiar territory of knowing nothing or having previous experience about the formation I was going to command as well. I took a Signal Company as an Engineer. I had to lean on the subject matter experts for atleast the first 6-8 months before I really had the confidence in the job. The majority of the worries you have are common and good because that shows you care about doing a good job. My few tips for you to be successful. 1.) Remain humble always and don’t be afraid to fail. 2.)Don’t plan in a bubble. Just because you’re the commander doesn’t mean you will always make the best or most efficient decision in every situation but if you create buy in from subordinates together you will be surprised in the outcome and results. 3.) Seek counseling from your 1SG often. If you have a good one they will always square you away and protect you. I was lucky enough to have two outstanding 1SG that always pointed me in the right direction with their candid feedback in decisions I had to make. 4.) Enjoy the Soldiers, NCOs, and LTs you have the opportunity to serve with. The bonds you will have will be invaluable. Unfortunately, this position you can’t do forever so soak it all in as much as possible. I miss that part of the job daily. 5.) You have a lot of influence on your organization that can be either negative or positive so keep that in mind when you have to make hard decisions even if they are necessary. They are a reflection of you and your 1SG. Y’all set the tone. Stay on the same page, your Soldiers will notice immediately when the two of you don’t get along and that impacts the organization. If you bump heads discuss it in private, never in front of the Soldiers. All in all they are probably many more tips but you will be fine. Just know this will be the most challenging and stressful but rewarding assignment you have done so far.

I will not be able to apply for command until I am a Major looking at Lt Col. I sincerely hope you continue to drop these nuggets of advice so that AF officers like me can learn from your successes and apply it when it is our turn to take command

Is this your first or second command? I thought about doing a command in USAREC but I heard some branches don’t look favorably upon it.

That's good stuff!

Sounds like you gonna enjoy this command a lot brother. Happy for you. Not surprised the people in Chicago are reacting to you like that. Enjoy it 🤙🏾

Never that… Company Command is the best position in the Army. You will excel in the position!

Sewed on Capt today. I definitely have you to thank for dropping videos like this that made my life as an Lt that much easier. Keep up the amazing work sir!

That’s one of the reasons I moved from Chicago because of how it’s expensive it is, but there is a lot of opportunity in Chicago despite the downside of it. You’ll probably meet a beautiful woman there.

Is the flexed arm hang still a thing?

Good luck 😊

Why is everyone and they're mama moving to CHICAGO!? Nah, but fr I just moved here like last week. Crazy. It is expensive but doesn't even compare to how crazy expensive NY is.

Glad to see you’re doing well dawg‼️💪🏾

Getting out is something I’ve never regretted, fuck leadership and the stupidity that runs the army in general.
