Family and the PJ Pipeline?

The military life is very tough on relationships and families, and I know that many of you are wondering how the pipeline works when you have a spouse/kids/dog. Today I'm answering 2 questions I am asked all the time. When do you get to live with them, and when can they visit you after you join the Air Force.
I am not a relationship expert by any means, but I share some of the things I do to try to stay connected to my wife and kids from a distance.

I didn't realize how tired I was when I recorded this... it's finals week for me at school, so all I do is study. Just a couple more tests and I will be in my senior semester. So forgive the lack of energy lol.

[@JGBrutus]

Hey, finals week for me as well, so I can relate. I had a question for you though. I know you have brought up CRO a couple of times in your videos. I was wondering if it'd be possible to get a whole video on just CROs in general and the distinctions between them and PJs when it comes down to on-the-job responsibilities, what's looked for in a potential candidate, and their training through the pipeline. I'm currently an AFROTC cadet and I've been looking heavily into this career field and a few words from your perspective would be much appreciated. Huge fan by the way.

[@julianperez5046]

You're fine dude, keep focusing on your goals and I'm glad you're doing great on your education goals. Keep up the great work and if you need to take a break from the vids if you really need the energy/sleep you're healthy is definitely important. Btw I'm glad you made this video to give some valuable lessons as I did learn some new things not just in regards to military alone.

[@psak3]

James Brutus an extensive CRO video would be awesome! Pipeline, commitment, responsibilities, longevity of career in the field, and above is great! Good idea. Not many videos out there about about CROs.

[@psak3]

Keep up the hard work! Best PJ content on Internet! We all appreciate it!

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Hope you got the chance to check out my interview with the Special Warfare Training Squadron Commander last week!

[@threehammers2516]

My daughter is almost 2 and I’m extremely paranoid of her forgetting me and being afraid of me when I see her again... hopefully that doesn’t happen

[@ajhc18]

Brian, let me just say this; I had an ex-gf recently in PA school and she refused to do much else but study because of the rigorous and fast-paced nature of the schooling. I admire how much drive and effort you've been able to put into still helping us out with these videos and maintaining a strict work out schedule/maintaining a family. You're a man that seems to have 30+ hours in each day and I admire that like crazy and look up to gentlemen such as yourself. I'd love to be able to stand next to the elite men in this world with guys like you hopefully soon-on in life. Thanks again, man and happy holidays!

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Thank you very much for the compliment, I really do try to fit as much into my days as possible. I couldn't imagine it any other way though, I hope that all the videos and other content help you to get through, put on that beret, and go save lives!

[@Yo-qt2nu]

Blessings brother 🙏 God bless you and keep you guys safe all times, thanks for your selfless service So others may live.

[@sumtingwong7408]

Peep the NFQ shirt. Video quality is awesome dude. Thanks for putting out good knowledge and helping out the wannabes like me. Scarecrow says hey btw

[@Aztec715]

I noticed the NFQ shirt, I wonder where How to Be a PJ stands on the controversy surrounding Mike and his NFQ company.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

As far as I am concerned, NFQ is a company with a message that helps people and I have had multiple conversations with both of the owners. They are good dudes who want to help others, bottom line, don't judge based on some random strangers opinion make your own decision.

[@kevinyanezmartinez6121]

You have my physique. Im also around the 5'7-5'8 foot range and also mexican. Only thing is that you are more fit than I am. You have my dream physique Mr. Silva

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Well I am flattered! The only difference between us is a few years I am sure, there is no time like the present to start getting jacked

[@IdleCurmudgeon311]

This video really helped. Thank you.

[@flawsome606]

Hey Silva, love all the valuble info your sharing. What class did you graduate from.

[@MosheNUllman]

Brian there's no denying you got quite a healthy looking physique. Curious if many operators enter physical decline post the military after all the stress they go through during training and deployments..

[@HowToBeAPJ]

I believe most stay in shape to the extent they are able to

[@buddha6896]

Is age just a number when going through the PJ pipeline or does it paly a big role in getting through?

[@me-ie4pu]

hey just a question, during indoc do you have weekends off? more laid back training? or is it hell all the way til the end

[@OnTaRgEt16]

bob oatmeal Yes you have weekends off. You are encouraged to spend that time recovering as much as you can.

[@theindivisible]

Weekends off but some weekends you will want to work on your weakness

[@djjasonceol9611]

Question: - I was in the Army for 7 years, Airborne Infantry with 5 deployments OIF & OEF, and I ETSed honorably back in 2012. I currently have a 70% service connected disability for PTSD and have overcome it after help from veterans treatment court program getting sober from alcohol for years now. I miss the military I want to join the Air Force to become a PJ but was wondering what the probability is of that happening with a service connected disability at age 37. Your thoughts? Plus I’m trying to convince my wife to…. well… let me. lol.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

I dont know you so please dont take this personally but from other guys I have seen in similar situations, going back to the military is not going to fill that desire you have to do something worth while again. I honestly dont know if the military would let you back in but I would say there is a chance with waivers. If your wife is hesitant and doesnt want you to do it then thats a whole other issue as well and you dont want to end up without her at the end of your career. Hope this helps if you would like to talk about it more email me [e-mail] I am happy to help man

[@djjasonceol9611]

@@HowToBeAPJ Just talked to a recruiter and unfortunately, they said they couldn’t take me because I have 2 DUIs on my record even though one was expunged 6 years ago. 😞

[@talonharness9750]

So basically after pre dive school, your spouse could live with you ?

[@TTexas123456789]

Somewhat related to the topic, when, if at all are you allowed to have a vehicle with you? Is there ever time to use it if you can have one? Thanks

[@grinch4114]

Mr. Silva, do these principles apply to the 212th rescue squadron as well?

[@metricfuse7140]

Hey man, I'm thinking about becoming a pj. I was wondering how much you make a year, this is rude and I don't want to offend you but I'm just curious.

[@peytonsickenberger7265]

Do you get your phone during Indoc or training??

[@shaquarnstevens8770]

All fun and games until you bring out the Glock 😆😆😆

[@jamilsalih9724]

Ever heard of guys in their 30's making the cut ?

[@tiffanydee1376]

There’s a 32 year old going through the pipeline now with my husband. It depends on the individuals physical standpoint more than age alone.
