I arrived at the ARMS program in April and just graduated from basic this month. In that time, I lost a total of 102lbs. It was a great program that assisted with weight loss as well as they thought several classes about nutrition. The cadre were more than helpful with the entire transformation. It sucked while I was there, but if I had to do it over again, I would.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Thank you for sharing! Congrats and good luck in the next chapter of your army career! 100+lbs??? That’s dope AF !

[@kawa_ian2319]

@daltonjennings3058 I'm looking at doing this soon, any info you can provide about your time in the program? Things you wish you knew, advice, etc?

That gives me hope I'm just about to turn thirty two and I've been really considering the Army reserves.I mostly have a weight issue.I didn't know that they have classes about nutrition.Thats kind of my goal right now to lose 100lbs with in a reasonable time frame.I will have to look into the ARMS program.

[@DiamondPlayBotton]

Went there started 4 weeks ago with a asvab score of 28. Left with a 71 AFQT. They told us this test was easier then the outside asvab test at meps. It really was baby questions. Everything we learn in class will be on the test. I suggest anyone to sign up for this program and go and really focus on studying here. I learned 100 words in 2 weeks never thought I could learn that much like that. Really good program I can become something better then what I was. They gave us this book with arithmetic and vocab words you need to know at least 110 to be safe on the test. Stay away from immature people there is a lot and study words every night here and you will pass. I’m stupid dumb and I passed thankfully they really want people so go sign up and I promise if you do everything I said you will pass.

Leaving out tomorrow from meps to this program. I’m glad they made this program for unqualified recruits. Going for the academic track scored a 28 a couple months ago I didn’t want to retake again and possibly fail then having to wait 6 months. I thank grammer hero for the knowledge I did gain to even score a 28. It’s below average but I put myself here because of not taking school seriously and playing video games even missed middle school and freshmen year. I still graduated but I find basic high school math hard to understand. Anyone else reading this and in my boat get rid of distractions and excuses. I’m working on these. Be back in 2 months to give an update on the course and my status

I take the test with everyone in my company this Tuesday. At the beginning of the program they gave us this book to study arithmetic and vocab 150 words. I have been with some other people here studying the words and know about 100. However only 15 are going to pop up on the test and it’s a shorter test from what I have been hearing. Once I get a good score I will let you know everything from start to finish and what to expect if you decide to go. Glad I made this decision tho.

Took the ASVAB and got a 97/99, 26M with a BFP around 30%. I am currently heading to MEPS on Jan 31 and should be shipping out for the ARMS 2.0 program. Super excited this program exists as I will be able to get in shape but also become accustomed to Army life and routine before BCT. Will be enlisted as a 35P, Cryptologic Linguist. Love your videos and they have helped me a lot. Lost about 15 pounds in the past 1.5 months already.

[@hybridramper-futurearmy1160]

How did it go

[@showmeyourdaleel6568]

I think this program is good. It allows future soldiers who are close to meeting the standards the extra push they need to achieve the standard. All branches should have these programs. I am sure 10/15 years done the road the Army will have future senior NCOs and Officers who are graduates of these programs. The NJ guard has a program for existing soldiers who fail to achieve height and weight and pass PT. It’s pretty intense and good for retention.

I joined as an 11B back in '11, and I've been out for a long time. The thought of re-doing BCT has always stopped me from re-joining. After watching new videos on BCT, I'm not afraid at all. I agree that adolescence can be groomed in many cases to standards: there are so many developmental aspects that may be lacking that could be nutured within a structured environment. After about 25, I think it is a lifestyle and should come from within. I'm now trying to join as an RN, and there is basically no effort from recruiting staff; if my stuff isn't together, no response, haha. They want certain experience, advanced certifications, refferences, packet handed to the board 100% complete, multiple interviews... an adult... I taped into OSUT back in the day and I wasn't very aerobically fit. I lost about 50 pounds during training and suffered. If I had the knowledge then that I have now, I certainly would have performed better. Now in my 30s, I could casually pass a PT test.

I'm going into the Navy personally, but was just told on Reddit today that the Navy has this SAME program they JUST rolled out this month... I am at 28% body fat, and worried a LOT I wouldn't make the 26% before this May 10th, (Which I will still try hard to do) But gives me a MUCH better outlook that I can still go and will qualify. So happy that the military will give us fatties the chance to still be in! :)

[@Scarrrz]

Well... I got a 43 on the ASVAB, so I think I needed a 50 to have that apply... So once again I guess I can't even do that divison training...

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯 Check with your Navy Recruiter if you need a 50. The Army 09M Program no longer has that requirement. Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯

[@itsdashanda5459]

I’m qualified for this program!! I can’t enlist until I lose like 20 pounds ! My body fat percentage is too high ! It’s been soo long since I been in school that’s why I didn’t score high enough ! I feel like if I had a little more study time I definitely would of done better but I took the test in 2 weeks and FOR me it wasn’t enough time considering the fact I was working 6 days a week 10+ hours (not making excuses still made time for studying) I just feel like I didn’t study enough because a lot of things I seen on the Asvab I seen in the book meaning if I had more time to study , I would of DEFINITELY scored high enough the next go around

Just graduated basic training got shipped out from the asvab program to Ft Benning for infantry. If you chose something other then OSUT you will get shipped out sooner. I have till September until my next graduation that being for infantry. Then my goal is to become a Ranger. If you memorize your words at the asvab program You will pass. There is only 15 words that will show out of 150 words so if you know at least 120 or so you have good odds of having most words on your test. A couple other people studied 30 words and didn’t pass. Study study so you can pass your first time there so you can start basic training.

I think that’s a great thing. A lot of people need a carrot dangled in front of them. If you just tell them no, the odds of them getting fit/etc is low. Give them something real to work for

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

I hear you but doing it that doesn’t work. This isn’t a carrot. This is something that helps them focus, be consistent and get themselves within the normal enlistment criteria. To me, a carrot is a bonus, student debt relief, etc…

Great explanation! I spent 21 years in between USMC and AF TACP. Times have changed with the culture of our youth.

Passed the ASVAB last year but was 10 Lbs overweight. It was easy to lose but even easier to gain back. My recruiter told me about the program and sent me to MEPS. The goal was to get in with the program and what not but I ended up enlisting without the program because I made tape. Signed as a 68W, with a bonus, and the GI Bill kicker for scoring a 71 on my ASVAB. The program seems really dope and wouldn’t have minded going.

I just finished AIT. But I was signed into the ASVAB program because I was literally like 4 points away from passing.. By the end of 3 weeks I ended up going from a 22 to a 52. So I don’t know if it was because I was nervous or something, but I know a lot of people who were there with me who were also dealing with a lot of text anxiety and this program helped us a lot. It help me boost my confidence. I was in the second to last group to do it too. So they ended up shutting it down after the cycle after ours. From last I heard. Apparently they do this every so often and one of our drills at the time said they do it especially when recruitment numbers are low or if they are trying to meet a specific need I guess. I don’t know but I succeeded and that and all the way to the end of AIT was one of my most proud achievements I’ve ever made in my entire life.

Thats the whole point of me joining, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain, while keeping a positive mentality there will be challenges but thats the point. Nothings simple, without the right mentality. I want to go back to college I want to get a degree, and my recruiter is helping me get my foot in the door, so I can make not only my family proud, but mainly me proud. Its a want, its a hunger, its everything no basic mind cannot fathom. We seen this shit on ads as kids and its like “omfg thats what I wanna do” ( not only that but influences too, had many ancestors before me and now in my family who have been in the military) and then boom, go to and office, and say “where do I sign” then next thing you know your on a 6 day break just preparing for meps, and with options. Not a whole hell lot of people had options that we do now to make it even more possible. It’s nevertheless hard, its what you make it. Its a path of not just correction. Its a passion, its a lifestyle, its a pact its more then just a career.

Hey man, thanks for all that you do. The channel as a whole has been hugely informative in my decision to enlist. I do have one question though, if you wouldn't mind. You say that participating in the academic track of the program locks you out of any MOS that requires a security clearance. Is this also the case for the fitness track? I've got my heart set on cybersecurity (17C), which I believe requires a TS clearance, but I'm overweight and trying to decide if its worth reaching out to a recruiter now or if I'd be better off waiting X months, following your keto/IF plan, and reaching out once I'm able to make weight.

I am looking to go back into the military after being 9+ years to be an officer. I weighed 300 pounds about 3 and a half months ago and already down 55. This program looks pretty friggin amazing makes me wish I had it when I first joined. I am just wondering if I could stay in the program on my own terms (under the 90 days, of course) and move to basic training after I reach a certain weight, rather than exclusively body fat. Basically I want to be ready for anything basic training AND OCS has in store for me. Thanks for the amazing video!

If you go thru the program for the weight part, can you still change your MOS and renegotiate your contract? I was told she couldn’t renegotiate her contract because she scored a 50 and she was only there for her weight. She needed to lose 3 pounds before shipping out. Side note, when she went to MEPS to do her final weigh in before shipping out, they didn’t weigh her, they just told her she’ll be going to the Prep program. She arrived in Fort Jackson and only stayed in the prep program for 1.5 weeks and then shipped to bootcamp. She had already lost the weight before she shipped out to bootcamp but they still sent her to the prep program anyways…..go figure.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Update to renegotiating to a 3yr contract is no longer authorized. MOS is locked in at time of enlistment as described within this video. MEPS no longer weighs shippers prior to shipping. Thanks for watching and sounds like she’s doing great things!

As of 2024 it is no longer a pilot program. It is a full bona fide program. Helping people successfully pass the future soldiers prep program at a 95% pass and success rate upon completion and that is for both programs. Translation if it wasn’t for these programs, they would not be able to enter the military. no other branches doing it. Given people a second chance to come get focus and discipline to pass the appropriate testing while being around their fellow peers doing the same thing and opportunity to get away from home and get focus around a structured discipline environment to-succeed. Understand that public schools have nearly taken out a high percentage of physical education programs, cafeteria are very unhealthy lots of sweets being offered instead of healthy foods. Thank heavens for the future soldiers prep program again, and a 95% success rate, allowing individuals to become service members had not been for the program. Not Loreen standards but having a program that is provided for citizens who want to serve despite the academic and weight challenges. The classes are taught by civilian instructors.

So my sister left July 5th in order to go into the academic part of this program, but apparently when she arrived at Fort Jackson, they didn’t take her directly to the school or classes in order to start. It is now July 17th, she was supposed to start classes today but she hasn’t. There are people with her still waiting around to get started, last time we talked to her she said they weren’t doing much. Basically waking up, eating, cleaning and the eating again and then sleeping. So right now, my family is worried and upset and wondering why she hasn’t even started the class yet. I was trying to find answers in this video, I mean yes we have answers to what they are supposed to be doing but she’s not even doing anything in this video…so I just want to know what the hold up is for her? I don’t understand why she hasn’t started yet…(and no she is not getting paid yet at all)

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

This happens in an occasion. I was stuck in Reception for 16 days before we eventually went to Basic Training. Maybe something happened to the set instructors they had originally planned of something like that. I’m sure she won’t be there much longer but she will get paid. Depending on when she completed the finance dept of her Reception process will determine when she’d realistically would get paid. For example; let’s say she peocesses with Finance on the 10th. She won’t make it on time for “The Finance Office” to make it in time for her first deposit on the 15th. I’d expect her first paycheck with back pay to hit on the 1st of August.

This has been very helpful!! Only question(s) is, once going through MEPS going through everything, ive heard you dont have to swear in the end (correct me if im wrong) but if i was to be sent to the 90 Day Program for fat percentage etc, do I have to complete it starting after MEPS or can I choose another time? Same question for swearing in and going to Basic?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

I’m having a hard time understanding your questions. I believe you’re asking: Q: Completing your MEPS Testing & Medical doesn’t mean you have to swear in and contract. A: Correct; you’d be simply prequalified at that point. QNE or Qualifier but not Enlisted. Q: Can you choose when to ship for 09M? A: If you successfully qualify for 09M Program, you’re to ship out to 09M at the next available date regardless of your interest as described within the video. You don’t have a choice on when you ship out for the 09M Program. Q: Do you have to swear in again after you complete the 09M Program. I’m not sure if you have to redo the oath after the body fat composition portion of 09M because you’ve already signed for an MOS. I do know that in the end of the academic version, you don’t have sign the contract when you successfully complete it. You can opt to be discharged. For example, if you don’t like the handful of MOS’s they offer you in the end, you can request to not sign and be discharged. I wouldn’t recommend that but it’s an option. Hope I understood your questions and best wishes! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

Hi! I was thinking of joining the national guard. I’m currently 25 with 2 kids. I tried joining when I was 18 but got denied because of my juvenile record, and my low score on the practice test. I made a lot of mistakes growing up I was able to have my record sponge at 17 but still got denied. Now that I’m 25 do you think I’ll have a chance I had no runins with the law since then. I really want to join but I’m scared i get denied again. I was not the smartest as well. What do you think on my situation?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Well, find a Guard Recruiter in your area that’s known to be a Waiver Guru. That’s the person you wanna talk to. All I can say is try and see what happens. Having a strong applicant statement helps and achieving things since helps. Marriage, kids, college, licenses, certificates, career, management position. Possibly… showing you’ve got goals, aspirations, achievements and positively contributing to society. I don’t know your details but that’s a start in the right direction. Good luck on your waiver and may the waiver gods forever be in your favor! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

Say you was 35 and a little overweight but I do have a ged and a licensed electrician what’s my chances of getting in this program I’ve been doing 150 sit ups a day and around 150 pushups

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Score a 50+ on the ASVAB and have no issues or if you score less than a 50, you’ll need to score a 100 on the will do section of the TAPAS Test. Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯 Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

I have a question I have a BA in Cybersecurity which should give me 17C MOS or something like that I also have a ASVAB GIT score of 135 but I am 6 foot 3" and my weight is a problem I am 280 pounds so I would have to go throw this program but my question is could I get the TS clearance MOS which I will need for 17C or Officer role in Cybersecurity because you said on the academic part u couldn't but mine would just be the weight part.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Unfortunately, 17C and other MOS’s are restricted for the 09M Program. “12G, 14P, 14S, 15C, 15D, 15F, 15H, 15M, 15N, 17C, 17E, 18X, 255, 27D, 31E, 35 CMF, 42R, 56M, 68B, 68G, 68K, 68P, 68Q, 68R, 688,68X, 88K, 88L, 89A, 91M, 91P, 92L, 92M and 94 CMF are all not authorized for the 09M Program… Good luck and best wishes!

i have a few questions, so the arms 1.0 is that still effective i’m going into arms 2.0 tomorrow and if i get down to 26 cause i do arms 1.0? and do you know anything about phone privileges during program.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Correct, if you’re under 2% over of your maximum body fat calculation you’ll enlist as usual and not be required to do this program. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@lionslayer2518]

so in other words we cant go into MOS that has clearances ? and also i really want too become an officer i wanna reach to the rank of captain, but i was told about this program that they can teach hands on learners to get a higher score and i never scored high on a test but when it comes too hands on learning i excel higher than my fellow classmates. i just wish there was a test for nothing but hands on learners because i think doing it on a piece of paper is one thing but doing it on the actual field is another. any word on that?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

OCS to commission as an officer is closed to this position. If otherwise eligible for OCS, take this option to increase your scores. Choose from one of the options to offer you and later on drop your OCS packet providing you meet the GT line score requirement.

[@maddygreen2391]

I have two questions: I leave Feb 6th to head to the 09M program and I already know I lost the weight since I swore in because it was only a few pounds, so 1. Will I go through a week long reception similar to basic training when I get there? Or will they weight you immediately and determine wether or not to send you to basic? And 2. For the packing list, is it just the stuff I’m packing for basic? Or should there be a separate packing list? Thank you so much for your video!

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

No confirmed SOP but it’s safe to assume that if your ht&wt/body fat calculation is within tolerance, you’ll be prepped to ship to BCT instead of the body comp/FSPC.

I attend this prep course at Fort Jackson in one week. Over the past 4 months I have worked my ass of trying to loose weight. I have lost 35 lbs and meet the height and weight standards before even leaving for the program. Will I still have to attend this program even though I’ve meet the standards on my own?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

They’ll send you right to training as described within this video. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best!

[@alexsalmoran54]

I have a question so I’m 5,8 and 220 pounds. Can I just go up to the recruiting station and ask if I can do the future soilder program or do I have to go to Meps first and then see if I qualify for the program?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

You might not need to at that height n weight… your body fat might be within tolerance. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@BRIXSKET]

Hey so quick question what if someone doesn’t pass the army do they get a dishonorable discharge have a friend that’s interested but worried about that part any feedback would be appreciated

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

If they are discharged for anything other than completion of required service, they will need at least an administrative waiver. If approved they can rejoin. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

Great video man. I was actually looking at making one with the same topic. 👍 🫡

Hey team Swartz! So I passed everythint and I am going to the school at the 17 of July. I want the Mos of laundry! You think I can get it through the school?

[@angelalvizo5848]

Hi i leave may 2 for this program for the asvab portion after completing the program and passing the asvab can we renegotiate our contract for option 19 and bonuses and can we choose the mos we want i have heard your stuck with leftover mos is this true?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Since the recording they resorted to offering you a handful of MOS’s that are pre approved that are available. Whether or not that meets your “wants” will be determined but you’ll get 5min to decide and you’re still entitled to Bonuses if you score 50+ on the retest from what the update states. There’s other factors like MOS, score, Tier Level, VCN eligibility, etc… Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best!

[@Fokkas]

So what are the restrictions? I'm seeing Future Soldier being thrown around but on every website it sounds like this only applies to teenagers or perhaps very young adults? How do I go about opting into this? Just talk to any local recruiter? The last recruiter I spoke to was in about 2019 and I wasnt allowed to take the asvab because I was over on my body/fat percentage.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

The qualifications are discussed within the video. If you meet those requirements you’re good to go. You got this and most def reach out to your local recruiter. Unless you’re in NYC looking to go Guard. Then look not further… I’m your guy lol Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@kpkeilo5083]

I did the PICAT at my recruiting office and passed, then went to meps to do the PICAT verification and I answered the questions right but still end up have to take the full ASVAB and get a 22. I’m so embarrassed I really wanna joined so I decided to go to the program I’m doing my medical next week I hope everything went well and go to school and get a better score to qualify for the job that I want.🤞🏾🙏🏾

Why be rude about the “fat camp” and call people grossly overweight? Why would someone want to join when others that are already in, especially an E7 recruiter who puts them down before they even enlist?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Says the person referring to it as “Fat Camp.” You’re the only person that took offense to my comment about being “grossly over weight.” I could have sugar coated it or something but I don’t think or feel it was rude. Especially in the context I said it and if you hang around my Channel for more the 2sec, you’ll quickly realize, my mission to help people make better decisions and be more prepared when joining. Subscribe and hangout sometime. You’ll see I’m not malicious, rude or disrespectful but you be the judge and please do so by hanging out for more than one video. Appreciate the feedback though and I’ll def keep that in mind for future videos. Although you’re the only one to share that, it’s possible people felt that way and just never said anything. I def don’t want to be rude. I’m struggling to see how you could take that one sentence as “putting them down,” with the whole video in mind. Idk, but that’s just my two cents…
