[@cg7240]

What do u do if ur like in the middle of an activity and u have to go to the restroom? Do u ask a drill sergeant? Or do they give everyone potty breaks or somethin like that?

[@TheJRDProductions]

How much more difficult was ocs compared to basic?

[@kidthndr2]

I think OCS is easier than basic.

[@henrylewis5649]

This is the dumbest question, but toilet usage. What are the rules? Thats the only thing I really don't know about when it comes to basic training.

[@kidthndr2]

Lol dont blow it up son!!!!! haha no rules they give you TP

[@henrylewis5649]

kidthndr2 nothing in regards to going in the middle of the night? Just, when t u gotta you gotta go? Within in reason of course like in the middle of drills and such.

[@thomasbusbice1144]

Henry Lewis just get up and use the bathroom. No consequences

[@Agent.K.]

Thomas Busbice Even in the middle of drills?!

[@thomasbusbice1144]

Agent. K. Middle of the night you're fine. Middle of drills depends I guess. Might be sweating so much you don't need to use the bathroom haha

[@quencylewis]

What are 3-4 basic challenges you can share with an 22 year old thinking of joining (Army) will have to accept ?

[@kidthndr2]

Bro, Take things with stride. Not really challenges... just alot of growth.

[@albertoxibarra1120]

Good Incite man, I leave for basic in three weeks!

[@kidthndr2]

Good luck!

[@Greg-wq3dk]

What are saturdays and sundays activities during basic? Or are they the same activities during the week?

[@kidthndr2]

Sundays are your days off. Saturdays are still training days.

[@hazellee3225]

[@spartan11265]

What are the things you need to look for to qualify for leadership? Might be a dumb question but I figured I ask, thank you.

[@kidthndr2]

Volunteer is the number 1 thing.

[@thecakemuffincrew9987]

I have a suggestion: get a discord!

[@kidthndr2]

Idk what a discord is but Ill look it up.

[@reecemarshall8771]

@@kidthndr2 lol did u ever get a discord?

[@SNIP3RT3CH]

Hey bro been following you progress and journey for a while.. Can you send me your contact info? need some advice.

[@kidthndr2]

Its in the description of the vid? or email [e-mail].... but be warned I dont check it very often.

[@SNIP3RT3CH]

kidthndr2 kool dont bother then.

[@arthas640]

Your first step to preparing for basic training is to watch Full Metal Jacket. If you think you can handle R Lee Ermey screaming at you then you can handle anything. Step 2, get used to using the bathroom and showering in front of other people. Step 3 get used to homesickness, even if you hate your hometown and everyone in it you'll probably at least miss the food, the climate, or your favorite starbucks.

[@parisporter7645]

How long is pt in the morning?

[@kidthndr2]

around an hour

[@matt9400]

kidthndr2 that's not so bad..... What kinda pt do yall do

[@simbadg13]

@@matt9400 yeah that is just the scheduled pt. You also get smoked for doing things wrong. Which could last for a couple hours. Also keep in mind you are moving all day from place to place. On top of that you still have chores/training which could be physical. So in reality you're being active all day. Generally it's body weight exercise days and then run days. But it's up to the DS

[@lyndsymontgomery2840]

Hey I am interested in the Air Force can anyone help me out with the asvab I'm in Fort Worth area

[@HJuan94JR]

Every video you make is very beneficial. What time do you guys go to bed and wake up during bct

[@kidthndr2]

Bed varies. Wake up I think it was 0520 unsure though. Just a random guess.

[@hellcatpilotjj7482]

Just in time, I leave tomorrow for basic

[@nathanfoster1277]

Is the army good for people with anger issus

[@SNIP3RT3CH]

Not at all bro .

[@BlazingMaryJane420]

MITSU TUTUTU how so?

[@SNIP3RT3CH]

No career is. Need to get that under control. The military isnt going to magically change you.

[@nathanfoster1277]

MITSU TUTUTU I knew that much. I'm mean I'm only 13 tho so I should be ok

[@YoureRightAndrea]

XD Jesus is good for people with anger issues

[@386boy819]

I have aspergers will I be able to join the army?

[@kidthndr2]

I dont think so, but check with a recruiter.

[@arthas640]

kind of late to the party on this comment but I have aspergers and I'd suggest taking a "dont ask dont tell" approach to it. There are actually parts of the military where aspergers can be a benefit but the social portions of the military can make things harder for you. The rigid structure of the military and the routine actually work to your benefit. It comes down less to "will the military let me join" and more down to whether you think you can handle it or not. Some militaries like the IDF go out of their way to hire autistic people for job like military intelligence for their abilities to process alot of data and spot slight differences in things like aerial photos and technical fields tend to attract autistic people. There are some militaries that are even looking into hiring people with aspergers/ASD for certain positions like drone pilots as well so there are places for you but it all comes down to whether or not you can handle it. I have Aspergers myself and would have joined the military if not for a back injury right after high school. A good case for Aspergers in the military is Doctor Tony Attwood who's a rather famous doctor that specializes in autism and especially aspergers. He had a patient who was almost turned away from the police for his aspergers but he was even able to convince the police that his aspergers would be a benefit to the job.
