Solider - “specialist Jones reporting to the board!” Sergeant - *points to chalkboard on wall* “Go ahead. Report to that board!” 👍

[@JoeGarofaloII]

🤣 what do you do in that situation?

[@scottlin7876]

When I was stationed in Germany in the mid 80s there was an E-5 who couldn't pass the p.t. test among other things. He was also a Viet Nam vet. Then when I was at Ft. Stewart (Georgia) there was E-6 who went in front of the board with his zipper down. We called the army achievement medal the army acheesement medal.

[@hawk9865]

What board would an E-6 go in front of.

[@vanpearsall]

Never heard of an e- six board

[@lelandgaunt9985]

I had one of those good MOS’s that stayed at 798, all year round.

[@haroldvoss5886]

Me to, Signal during the 80's and 90's ours stayed maxed out. E-4 to E-5, good luck unless you re-enlisted and went into another carrier field

[@lelandgaunt9985]

@@haroldvoss5886 I almost reclassed to 12 Bozo, the points were 420 most of the time, as a “soft engineer” they just don’t give us sapper slots.

[@venomsupe]

15 Golf for sure. That shit still 790 🤣

[@happynowfarms]

11B 798 from 91-95 due to drawdown from the Cold War. Infantry units were full of Corparals at the time. 11M was 498 due to STAR program which is almost automatic E5. 11M no longer exists.

In the reserves you don't don't go to a physical board, that's because then you'd have to go on Orders to attend an in person board. Because a lot of Reserve Soldiers have busy lives they do what is called a Paper Board, where your packet goes up in your place to a promotion board. I recently did it in the Reserve. My colleges credits gave me a huge edge compared to my fellow soldiers in my unit

[@thechillmaster5836]

Ironic i was researching how many a degree is worth. Thanks Chris🔥🔥

[@ParkBongSig]

I appreciate this. I know I asked you about this recently and the fact that you did this piece so quickly is a major help.

[@drakodelta7]

Lots of e-5 slots in the reserves but one of the hardest things to obtain is blc

National Guard totally different, I joined Regular Army, my best friend went national Guard. I made E5 after 2 1/2 years. He made E6 after 2 years. They needed an E6 and he knew the job?

Good video like always. Helpful stuff

I know you have a lot of 88m content could you do more on the certifications an awards you could earn throughout your time as a 88m I’m one in the guard an I love my job

[@isaiescamilla550]

Do you think you could cover the officer route of things? How long it takes, how difficult it is, the positives and negatives ECT.

[@germanstudent06]

I ended my contract in the reserves and I will say you need good PT and rifle scores. I maxed correspondence courses, had a deployment under my belt, and a letter of recommendation from the SGM in my packet. The letter, theoretically, didn't make a difference but I got a great board score. Also, make sure your Form 2A is correct, and if it's not get with your Unit Administrator (UA).

[@kevinmicheal817]

How does a Masters degree weigh in as an E-4?

[@507onsight]

Wow I noticed that 17 echo only needs 40 points how is that? Please school me Im a proud father of a new enlisted soldier.🇺🇸

[@christopherchaos]

This happens when an MOS is in need of soldiers in that rank. So if they are short on sergeants or staff sergeants in the MOS of a 17E they will drop the points really low to get people promoted and then raise the points when they start getting the numbers they need.

[@507onsight]

@@christopherchaos Thanks you so so much for the reply. My son just shipped as a E3 but this is valuable info.🇺🇸

[@kendraerving7022]

Hi Chris brief overview, like the videos btw, anyway going in to dtrs soon to see a neurologist and i was wondering if and what medical conditions prevent you from joining the army. And if neurological disorders can prevent you from doing certain tasks or jobs.

[@justwelin5082]

if I have college degree before enlist, does my degree count as points?

[@christopherchaos]

Yes. Civilian education will give you promotion points based on how many credit hours you have.

[@1JSilva20]

@@christopherchaos Is that after you graduate and become an E-4 or is it included when you become an E-4 after basic training?

[@felicia6438]

How many points for completing a course at DLI? Is the conversion of 5hrs = 1pt the same?

[@nwj03a]

Got my 5 the first month I was eligible, but my points were pretty high… think I was like 18th on the list, but I’m not positive.

[@ryan215553]

Haha I got almost 700 and I was going to change to 12R which is only 40!

[@ImNotCreativeEnoughToMakeUser]

My recruiter said I can get promotion points if I help him with recruiting. Is that true?

[@LOL-kq2dd]

If you enlist with a bachelors degree as an e4, are you able to use that degree for any future promotion points

[@christopherchaos]

Kind of. Technically if you used your degree to come in as an E4 then you used your education already and would need additional credit hours that you earned while you are already in to get points for E5 or E6. That part is pretty tricky with how the regulation works for credit hours to promotion points.

[@LOL-kq2dd]

@@christopherchaos who should I ask to get more information? Just signed my contract today 🙌

[@hawk9865]

If you have a masters why are you going enlisted, why not become a Warrant Officer or a Commissioned Officer?

[@LOL-kq2dd]

@@hawk9865 I have a bachelor's not masters and I need to petition my family for parole in place as soon as possible (yap all you want about the PIP controversy idc)

As a cb I never heard of a drivers badge. Lol Everybody's getting one. Good idea though. Hey, Army, Navy,, the pay is the same.

Wait.. lol the only differential is the suck.
