LOW ASVAB SCORE OR OVER WEIGHT? JOIN TODAY! | U.S. ARMY FUTURE SOLDIER PREPARATORY COURSE

[@daltonjennings3058]

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 !

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.

How did it go

[@DiamondPlayBotton]

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'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...

[@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 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

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.

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 am in the midst of joining at the age of 23, my recruiter is encouraging me to go to meps and try to pass above the cat4 however if i’m below average he knows that i’m still willing to give my everything as I have nothing interesting going for me right now Id be happy with any mos as long as I make something of myself while I am in. 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.

How’d it go?

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!

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.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

@@iR0CZI think you’re confused. Passing tape means that the measurements calculate your body fat percentage. Depending on the calculated body fat percentage will let you and your recruiter know if you’re within the standard, exceeding the stand and to whether or not you’re able to leverage the ARMS 2.0 program or the ARMS 2.1 edition with the 09M Program. ✅Up to 2% over your maximum allowable body fat percentage per age and gender you’ll qualify for the ARMS 2.0 program and ship directly to Basic Training through this exception to the Ht&Wt requirements. ✅If you’re between 2-8% over, you’ll be offered the ARMS 2.1 Program through the 09M Program that pays you to learn about health, fitness and workout 1-3x per day to lose body fat for up to 90 days. Once you’re within the guidelines of the ARMS 2.0, you’ll then be sent to Basic Training. ✅Both of these options will require you to score a 100 or more on the “WILL DO” portion of the TAPAS Test (personality test).

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.

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.

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!

Would be dope if they had something like this for guard and reserves to get caught up on physical fitness without distractions from everyday life

The NYARNG has a 2 week course but off the top of my head I forgot what it’s called. They are trained by MFT’s teaching them Nutrition, Health and Wellness along with daily PT. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@iDubzZ420]

I just spoke to a recruiter in LA, he said they have that program for the reserves as well.

[@shizzle15p]

The course was known as the TAC course which was Tactical Athletics course and I went through the very first course taught in the NY ARNG at camp smith in 2018. It was a very informative course and you learn so much about nutrition and recovery and prep.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

@@shizzle15p Yassss!!! That’s it and thank you for reminding me the name. I here good things about it too…

[@shizzle15p]

@@TEAMSWARTZ It is a great course taught by great instructors. I learned everything from counting macros to myofascial release. They teach you about calories in calories out and even the difference between gym workouts and calisthenics.

My recruiter told me I need to make a 21 to get into the Future Preparatory Course and I failed this ASVAB test twice and am also chubby so I don’t think I could join still but I do want to join the army still

09M will help once you get to 21% or better and get down to no more than 6% over your maximum allowable body fat.

[@ThePandaOreo]

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! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@ThePandaOreo]

@TeamSwartz That's basically the questions haha!! Sorry for rough understanding at first but those are what I was referring to! Thank you sir!

[@ThePandaOreo]

I believe my only other question is would I have the option to pick when to ship to basic within a year of completing MEPS and/or 09M?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

@@ThePandaOreo As described in the video and my response for 09M you’ll ship out asap, next available ship date for that program and for normal enlistment have to ship after the first 3 weeks of signing your contract but no more than 3 to 4 months from the contract date. If you don’t sign a contract, your testing and medical exams are good for two years. I’m live-streaming tonight 8-10pm if you wanna tune in! 🙏🏽

[@jaquelh86]

my husband got a 21 on the test, but his recruiter said that because of his age (40) the colonel said that in order for him to go to the program he will have to get a score of 50. that is so unfair. A person who doesn't speak English is not capable of getting a 50.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

I have a bachelors degree can I enlist as an E-4 or officer? I will need waivers for (anxiety) & moral(lied to a cop back in the day)…. Is this all possible?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

4yr degree will have you enlist as an e4 but OCS is what you’d need to qualify for to go Officer. OCS OPTION OVERVIEW: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIWkl3yDnb5ppqs You may or may not qualify for OCS due to that law violation. So I’d recommend getting the disposition to that case and get with a recruiter to see your options. Thank you for watching and stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@johnaugustus2211]

See when I asked my recruiter about joining the program he said I don’t need it and that’s it I got a 47 on my asvab but I only want to take the arms portion of the future soldier program but he believes I don’t need it. I haven’t sign any papers yet and only went to meps for the asvab but I still will like to take the arms portion of the program

[@johnaugustus2211]

next time I go back to meps for the medical portion can I sign up just for the arms portion there or do I have to sign up for both portions

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! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
