[@qwerty_seven5905]

Hello soldiers by God’s grace I’ll be taking my 2nd chance in ASVAB. Cause basically my first attempt did not go well I ONLY HAD 2 MORE POINTS TO PASS IT cause i only had couple of days to prepare but i know GOD has a plan for me maybe this month is not yet my time. But I TRUST GOD 😊 my next test is in december That is my testimony to all of us 😊 If you want to leave a comment to encourage me please feel free 😊 GODBLESS US ALL

[@ricardoaguirre8559]

Did you pass it?

[@ci115]

Reception was absolutely the worst part. I Laughed when you said you didn’t want to be the first on the bus, I was the first on the bus and the last to come off for the shark attack it sucked! My last name is carter too lol I went to basic in April. Happy I did it though.

[@MrCarter85]

Ci Leigh thats awesome. Great to hear you finished through it!

[@rbryant100]

Reception has been hell on Earth since the beginning of the Army training program. Shipping to BCT from reception was a relief

[@MrCarter85]

rbryant100 thats true, reception was the absolute worst.

[@fshblw]

I'll never forget reception at Fort Jackson,the worst two weeks of my life..but if I had to do all over again,I could.

[@danrickprater8633]

Whats The Hardest Part Army Basic Training I Went Two Weeks Of Air Force Basic Training I Kinda Know How The Atmosphere Going To Be

[@MrCarter85]

Basic was more of a mental challenge for me. The biggest part was understanding that not everything is going to go your way. You will be surrounded by people from all parts of the world. Some will want to be there and some won’t. Ultimately, it is up to you to be the best you can be while in training. Don’t let the actions of others dictate your performance. Understand that you can only control what you can control and you will do fine!

[@andracoisbored]

I really enjoyed the video but the music was a bit too loud! Thank you for your experience :)

[@MrCarter85]

I’ll keep that in mind. glad you enjoyed the video!

[@xtne.e1100]

Thanks for sharing this video! Just in time before I leave next week 🙌🏼

[@MrCarter85]

Ohh wow its finally time for you to start your career! Good luck with everything, i know you will do great👍🏾

[@Rhinosmith67]

Great Video! My fellow OCS applicants and I are always trying to figure out how to find the most research on branch selections. The OML process is understood but looking for more info on the Branch fair. Do you guys get to “shadow” the branches or actually get a day in the field/office with the various branding options? There is only so much available online. My OCS board is next month. Thanks!

[@MrCarter85]

You will have an opportunity to attend a branch fair a couple weeks before your branch ceremony. That’s really the only time you will get more in-depth details about the branches. Good luck on your interview!

[@juwanlg6199]

What did you end up branching?

[@MrCarter85]

JuwanLG signal branch detail chemical

[@juwanlg6199]

So you did basic training and then OCS after? And both of those after applying and getting accepted into OCS?

[@MrCarter85]

Matt Ebuhardt yes and yes. Once accepted, you will proceed to basic then ocs afterwards.

[@chasecrowder2414]

[@jameslee8428]

[@the_primetime2187]

Did yall take the fast class?

[@MrCarter85]

Im not sure what that is, doesn’t sound familiar.

[@georgesigar2671]

I had some questions in regards to OCS. TIA! 1. When do you get the graduation date for OCS while attending? 2. Are you able to get leave or Hometown Recruiting after OCS? 3. Do you leave OCS the day after graduation?

[@MrCarter85]

You find out day 1 whenever graduation is. You are able to get HRAP only if you finish in the top 20%. Anyone can take ordinary leave though after ocs. Yes you will leave right after ocs, either you take leave or you will pcs/ptdy to your next duty station for bolc.
