Civilian to infantry OSUT. My experience.

My experience of going through the first stages of joining the army and some information for those looking to join.

[@houseofcotes4402]

I like your contact immediately gave you a subscribe. I'm currently joining the army I just have to get my hand tattooed removed I'm in the process right now I been wanting to join since I was 5 and I messed up right before I turned 18 so I had to wait some years after so that they see that I am more mature I'm 22 now and I cant fucken wait!!!! Pretty set on going 11b. I'm not sure if i can but i wanna get airborne on my contract but I also wanna get ranger idk yet but I'm super pumped not gone lie haha but all these videos you army guys post is motivational and I love how you break down the stuff it's very helpful information

[@danp4725]

It's 21 minutes Army for 2mile run. However to max it is obviously way less.

[@immortal4471]

I wouldn't sign unless they put 11b main MOS in my contract.. during our first official PT test I got 290 my DS was impressed and talked to me for like 5 minutes "this is rare for new recruits in basic" I told him I wanted to be 11b airborne maybe even Rangers.. He gave me a nod and I thought that was that... 3-4 months later guess whos name was called to become a Fing 11C.. This guy... Pretty sure if you're good at math and PT they make you become 11c because everyone else who was chosen said they scored in the 80+ percentile on the asvab.

Great content man. I came across your videos because I’m looking to head into the army. I’m 25, and recently married. Without getting into too much detail, and writing a novel I’m stuck between deciding if I should start off with infantry, and then try to go to Ranger, and then SF, (“the traditional way”) or if I should just join with an option 40, or if I should just go through the 18x program. What would you say the pros and cons of all this would be? Also, after basic what is the realistic schedule like considering the route I wanna go. How often will I get to talk to loved ones, and/or visit them or they come visit me. Like you’ve said in your previous videos there’s really not too much info out there on this stuff some I’m glad we have similar stories so I’m just wanting to pick your brain that’s all and get first hand experience.

[@JohnS677]

Great questions brother, I'll try to give you some answers after I've put some thought into it.

[@JCA122510]

Very much appreciated! I look forward to it!

[@ayedriantee]

Shawn Wisser opt 40 definitely when u get to ur unit it’s extremely hard to get a slot to rasp sfas or ranger school due to the competition or ur unit’s “needs”

[@WiiR3d0000]

The switched the pipeline for 40, I suggest 4 and then prove your worth at airborne. Cadre will be watching and offering slots there

Hope you don’t mind me asking how old you are/were when you enlisted? It’s pretty obvious you carry yourself as an adult maturely. Enlisting into the special operations community at 30 sounds daunting. Thanks in advance.

[@JohnS677]

I was 26. But I'm 28 thinking about going back so I hear ya. But I find that most things are tough but they always seem more impossible in our heads than in reality. You just gotta push yourself and make it happen.

@@adrianherrera4455 There was an Airforce guy in my platoon who switched to army infantry and he was inserted into blue phase and by that time the drill sergeants were already a bit more relaxed and I never saw the guy get singled out or anything.

I think you are cute. You have a nice voice. I like hairstyles on the 1800 guy!

[@bryanquiroga3912]

does they teach you hand to hand combat?

[@lukesmitha8916]

Bryan Quiroga yes. You learn up to level one combatives. It also depends if you have RASP, where you’ll learn more, or if you are just regular infantry.

[@philthethotdestroyer4194]

they teach you how to beat up someone with a rifle and how to grapple and choke.

[@flindsay0001]

What about the Land Nav in the INF OSUT?

[@JohnS677]

Well when I went through it was pretty basic. You did land nav in a small group so even if you didn't know what you where doing hopefully someone else did.

[@flindsay0001]

Jonathan Shelton and at RASP?

[@gradyhaberlan5989]

You’ll do team day/night, battle buddy day/night, and solo day/night. Easily one of my best experiences of osut

[@gradyhaberlan5989]

Turn 26 got 2 kids and a wife wanna go infantry any tips thanks hope all is well.

[@JohnS677]

Just get yourself ready to pass a PT test and work on proper pushups form. If you want a little extra pay and don't mind destroying your body for it make sure you get airborne in your contract. You will go to the 82nd most likely, possibly Italy, but the extra pay is nice. A lot of people try to get airborne after they join and most people can't pull it off.

[@hwhitley93]

Thanks u appreciate that ya I have been working out quite a bit almost everyday got that dad bod going on lol ya I would love to go to airborne my fear of heights is more than getting shot at but tell myself quit being a bitch and just go for it how does your wife like you being in the army and jw was it hard pay at first and ranking up thanks

How old were you when you enlisted and did you have your kids at this time?

I enlisted at 25 and I had two children.

I’d like to know your reason for joining and how the hell you convinced your wife to let you do this being away from her and the kids so much.

@@snowboy720 it's not an easy decision, and I still regret the time I missed with my kids. Being a military spouse can be fulfilling, and they become very independent, but it's not for everyone. If you can't get her on bored then it may be that she's the one being smart. Lol
