Watch Before Signing Your Military Contract

[@halvey8518]

Leaving Tuesday to San Antonio, I feel more prepared than I really should be thanks to you, Kyle Gott, and other Air Force (even Navy) youtubers. Thank you.

[@stephughtopia]

Mike Halve I pray you enjoy your journey. Good luck!

[@carloscruz-jz2nq]

Mike Halve good luck

[@gabriell.1467]

Mike Halve ayyy Ima arrive at lackland on the 10th as well 👍

[@brandonkang2509]

See you boys there :)

[@SimplyAnne1]

Hey, how'd you do?

[@josephmagana4268]

Wild blue is the first military KZbinr I started watching. I'm picking navy, but I still watch because he's a cool dude.

[@youraveragejoe2]

Joseph Magana same. I'm going Army though

[@PAPIOSO908]

Check out JT suits

[@wyattriott2139]

So how’s the navy?

[@Mapar988]

It's taken me a whole year. I'm leaving for Lackland in a couple weeks but I first stepped in an AF recruiting office May 2018

[@Rameses3113]

Headed to MEPS to sign my contract ✊🏾

[@jesusmarquez2242]

Me And Only Me how’s it going

[@Ciez]

Got about two months before I head to San Antonio, thanks for the advice you put into your videos. Looked all over youtube and the internet for videos and information before getting everything going. Best people I got information from were you, Kyle Gott, and JT Suits.

[@GhulamMustafa-pn2xi]

Hey WildBlueYonder, can you please do a collaboration with Kyle Gott, BullyJuice, NavaTheBeast, JTSuits, Archizzle, or other military youtuber?

[@andrewthacker2743]

you ease all my worries with every video!! I am a senior in high school and i signed in December of my junior year. i still haven't gotten cleared to go to meps because they send my medical back and i was getting worried i might be getting denied. hearing you had to wait a year really eased my worries and re-established my confidence in joining!!

[@brianfarrell7288]

My wife is now going round three with the recruiters!! The last time she had all her waivers approved, ship date set, ready to go to basic, and surgeon general said nope....they called her back last week, and pretty much this time is the last try. Her waivers are still approved, and hoping that MEPS says yes this time, without going to the surgeon generals office. She is going for aerospace engineering field!!

[@ralphkalbach866]

Enjoy your videos. It's a lot different when I went the AF In Nov 1969. 6 wks of Basic, about 5 months of Tech School and then off to your first assignment. I lucked out I didn't get Nam.

[@serenaclaire3512]

You can also request to retrain earlier, on the halfway point of your contract as a FTA. If the job you want is undermanned it will be more likely that they will allow you to cross train.

[@Leorgo]

I had to pause the video for a second.. So despite other people saying that if a job we want isn't open or available.. We should just accept what the recruiter is pushing to us? Isn't that bad? To be stuck with a job you didn't want for 4 or 6 years?

[@phoenixperplexity3784]

SALO or The 120 Days of Sodom: I can't eat rice with my hands like this... Then eat Isht! Yes it is wrong. You can never get everything you want, that it is true. But a contract is a compromise on both sides. It's redundant to only play by their cards. In a fair contract both sides have a say. Not all contracts are fair. But in the US where our supposed values are fairness, equality, and justice, the example is not set many times. Yes I get his mentality but you have to be scrupulous about a recruiter's rhetoric and persuasion. Now that does not mean to disrespect the recruiter or make a scene at the recruitment center. Yes that recruiter is a doing a job and he/she does not represent the entire US military, even though it is the first person we see to join, but they add pressure and make you think that it's the only option you got. See the thing about military practices is that the military tries to deprive one of self thinking and individuality, all be one. Now that's not entirely on purpose, it's just the consequence of military training methods so one can operate during stress and operate in unity as fast as possible, but some people abuse this methods. I advice as many have said, the military is for those who are mentality and physically strong and able, and only a strong mind is capable of mataining it's individuality in the tough and only a strong body can get you to the end. Yes, that's gonna be stressful! But it makes you stronger and gives you more ability. The key here to a military contract is if you don't get to have the MOS you want is not the end of the world. Also, another key is to be patient and composed which I think would be good qualities for a soldier. Recruiters use car dealership tactics. Dealiships persuade you to get the car on impulse by bragging about a car's feature and it's purchase add-ons and make your impulse seem that your are buying the car out of logic. The key to logical military decisions is to research an MOS, go to forums and view other people's experience. Not everybody always tells the truth, but gather info on the goods and bads of an MOS. Now everybody has their own motives and reasons to like or dislike something. Now after that analyze if the pros outweighs the cons based on your goals. Now if a recruiter tells you that MOS is not available, it's not the end of the world, and be patient. What the military doesnt tell you; just like any other job, everyday people fill a certain job and people leave that certain job. That tells us that job will eventually be available. Understand that you will have to make comprises, that goes for other life decisions as well, but don't commit what you will not agree too. Just clear your head, be strong, make a plan that allows you a bit of extra time just in case those wanted opportunities are not readily available, and make plans with extra options, no more than three total, be yourself, don't be gloomy, and you will be fine. Worst case scenario you don't like the contract you have the freedom to leave and nothing else happens afterwards. You can always try again in a month or two which gives you extra time to work on yourself for ex. Keep working out and get even stronger and on things that will make you a better candidate. It's not like they ban you for not signing, so you can always come back.

[@SldOnEmWithDa45]

Let’s be honest I think we all fail *depth perception* I have 20/20 in both eyes and when she told me “tell me what circle is popping out towards you” and THEY ALL LOOKED THE SAME 😑

[@allwingsdriver4856]

WeBe Flexin haha truuee! NOBODY in my MEPS group passed the depth test.

[@ActivexRecon]

GeeronGlobal thank goodness I’m not the only one. That same week before I went to meps I took an eye exam for some new glasses and I aced the depth perception test and even the doctor told me it was fine but somehow I failed it at meps?? They all literally looked the same

[@laiklam96]

Yes!! They all looked the freakin same!!😤😤😤

[@briannick5265]

yall wild I got them all first try. The eye doctor was like damn that was quick

[@Josh-wt5qm]

it was hard af but I passed my deptu perception. if you found the circle on the first row the next 2 is ez

[@wayneisname4544]

Watching this after signing the contract 😂

[@brandonkang2509]

I leave for Egress tomorrow. Thanks for all your help

[@Golden.Rookie]

need a case for that phone my brother

[@ChrisLuvzBama]

Have you made a vid about saving money? If not can you?

[@Tiryk]

I too would like to see a video on this

[@Dr.Peppa307]

Daniel Grimes Kyle Gott has a money saving video. Go to his channel.

[@LovingGoodContent]

+1 to saving money

[@r2rdigital313]

I defiantly would have picked firefighter over plane seat ejector maker

[@calebgoergen2670]

Can you do a video on ROTC and the advantages or disadvantages of being an officer over enlisted?

[@EDENTROPIC]

I failed the depth perception test too :/

[@perrin1868]

EDENTROPIC I failed mine had to retake it 😩

[@joejohnson3814]

If you go open contract can you get a job you did not list at basic?

[@peterojas8202]

Air Force is the smallest branch. Perhaps that is the reason for limited MOS choice.

[@charlesbrunson6341]

KingsHIway Not DoD

[@Antonio_Talavera]

Hopefully gonna go through meps in july. Trying for Boom Operator or any other Aircrew Spots.

[@waryaali3734]

Dear wild blue yonder I want to be in the US Air Force I am strong, smart and capable of so much, but I fear that my hearing loss will destroy my dreams. I have a (unilateral sensorineural hearing loss) that is that I am 100% in my left ear, but completely no hearing In my right ear. I mean I can do so much and I feel it's my life calling to be a part of the Air force. I am aspiring to become an air force firefighter, or my favorite a Loadmaster, I've called every recruiting office and I'm not going to let this stop me from being a part of something big, but I still don't know what I should do while I wait to hear back from them, I could really use you help and knowledge... Thank you Sincerely Future Air force Loadmaster Ali H

[@Spongy656]

Ali Habib You will be limited to a few jobs, but you can still do it. Don't give up!

[@merckbook7322]

This is my little son's problem also 😞. I hope they will take you in. God bless you!

[@tyriquehenry7611]

I got cheated after I graduated I had got sign on bonus and never received it

[@welcometomylife2625]

If your married and your husband is signing for the military. Will BAH be in your contract or how to do you know you’ll receive it?

[@VERDEPLAYS22]

Could you join the Air Force if u had a rotator cuff/ labrum tear repaired. Also if you get injured while operational do they kick you out?

[@Christina-xf1yl]

Does each mos have a certain minimum amount of years? Or can you choose? Or is it what’s available?

[@autumnhayes1673]

What is the ASVAB score requirement for Security Forces and what other requirements for it?

[@kendrickervin5573]

Autumn Hayes I'm Joining security forces, you need a 33 on the ASVAB and you need to pass all the important tests at meps, Hearing, color vision etc. to get qualified for the Job.

[@Leorgo]

Kendrick Ervin vision? People with glasses can't be selected for SFS?

[@budokaiman3938]

SALO or The 120 Days of Sodom: I can't eat rice with my hands like this... Then eat Isht! no like color blind

[@Leorgo]

[@bskinny910]

Can you do a top 5 job video please

[@roush3836]

B SKINNY infantry would be #1 I would assume

[@requiemsgv]

What do you guys thinking about security forces?

[@aaronpyzik5869]

If you did pass the depth perception test would you have gotten the loadmaster job? Is it a undermanned career field right now or difficult to land that job?

[@Gil0720]

What happen if you get sick during BMT?

[@pchangrak]

Hi can you suggest some electrical job that would translate well in civilian world. Thank you and love your videos.

[@youngking4575]

If you come into the air force enlisted with an associate's degree in a particular field, is it guranteed that i will get a job in that particular field?

[@plusmagnificent]

What have you heard about Fighter Jet maintenance job? My recruiter signed me up for this job. I ship Sept 1st for BMT...keep in mind I'm also 38 years old, not married yet and have 1 step child from a current relationship. Please I need some answers

[@vflhvhvjkkjvhjljhlv]

leaving Feb 28 with a TACP contract. really wanted PJ but my run time is not there yet. I asked for my ship date to be pushed back to allow me more time to attempt the PJ PAST. My recruiter told me that I would have to quit the DEP and get another contract. And if I quit no other recruiter will work with me. Is that true? Also could yoy make a in depth video about the crosstraining process?

[@TheJarro3800]

Do you think it will be easy for me to get security forces and only that. I figure since it is a in demand job that it is easy to get it

[@kendrickervin5573]

Jarrett Divan yes very easy I got my Security Forces job in a week

[@NickyboyOC]

same

[@Psycoholic2008]

While it is in-demand, that is only during certain periods. SF is the most overfilled MOS in the military, in every branch. SF/MP are just the go to job for your average male so they fill like crazy.

[@michelles7531]

Kendrick Ervin How do you like security forces ?? How was the tech school ? Was it physically difficult ??

[@KayDimples]

Do you do this thing called wacth ? like other branches...

[@davidolusegun]

I am a part of the national guard with a 6 year contract. I was planning on leaving. Is it possible to just tell your leadership you want to quit or do I have to finish my contract?

[@themariomaster539]

You have to finish your contract then you can leave

[@DucklantisOfficial]

Almost done or done

[@JS-xx4be]

have a question signed my first contract at meps but due to family problems that came I wish to no longer continue am I able to cancel it

[@dakotabennett8965]

could i enlist with a 6 year and reenlist with a 4 year? and do you think it could be possible to cross train to spec ops? like do you have any videos about cross training or could you make one?

[@jesselogan3268]

Hey, I'm trying to get ahold of an airforce recruiter, I sent one email. that was about a week ago. As it seems there more I look into it, the less it seems it was about 30 years ago. Apparently 30 years ago they were trying to get you to join. The airforce today it seems, is the branch to join, but they can afford to be picky. They don't need you. It actually seems that the average wait time for a recruiter (amongst the airforce youtubers, just to get ahold of one, is 6 mo. to a year. I don't want to wait a year just to talk to one. So what do you suggest is the best way to get ahold of one. As it seems emailing and calling isn't going to work.

[@ravensixs]

use the chatters on the Air Force website

[@jesselogan3268]

ravensixs, I actually just got ahold of a recruiter today but thanks for the comment irregardless

[@Leorgo]

Jesse Logan irregardless?

[@dragonianknight8872]

Idk if you'll see this man but I'd love it if you could answer me back. Will MEPS let you sign a contract if you fail the urine analysis?

[@michaelgriffin5736]

Eduardo Resendiz no

[@justinmahon7984]

I was thinking on joining security forces but many people say its either a bad or dangerous job, any opinions?

[@samqureshi7049]

Don't

[@samqureshi7049]

Ni hao Tokyo worst job in the Air Force. If you respect your self and your time you won't do it.

[@Exploitlol]

don't listen to him. security forces is what you make it. most bases are 8-5, but there are some that require 12+ hours temporarily. you don't just read IDs either.

[@MexicanBagpiper96]

Any ideas on the waiting period to become a 1C2X1?

[@xXsilentvatoXx]

futurepj96 hahaha please don't go into the military saying things like that. It's some boot ass shit. But seriously I doubt it'll be long just focus on passing the test to even get in, by the way your name through me off future PJ yet trying out for Combat Control.

[@MexicanBagpiper96]

Rading my comment now, yeah, that sounds pretty stupid. I probably just should have said "Combat Control." I know that the Pipeline is about two years long, I was wondering about the amount of time it takes between signing up with a recruiter and actually getting on the bus to Lackland. About the name, I've wanted to become a PJ since I was a freshman in highschool. I've been getting kind of dissuaded from becoming a PJ recently though, because I heard that they don't see as much action as Combat Control. Yeah, I'm one of those "I want to see some action kind of guys," I know that can be looked down upon sometimes, but I got that desire from reading books like "No Easy Day" and "No Hero." My recruiter did tell me that there is such thing as a "dream sheet" (which I think WildBlue addressed in a couple of his videos), so CCT and PJ are my top two options.

[@MrRainbowSprinkles]

Did you ever make it to CCT or PJ?

[@Nlyi]

Does DEP last that long?! I wanna go this year

[@NoahFerg14]

Nyli it depends on your job, I’ve heard some people only in for two months some are in for 2 years it really depends

[@astrum097]

Should I go Air force or Navy?

[@josephmagana4268]

jack duval they're both good. Honestly, I haven't heard too many complaints about either of the two branches from people I've met.

[@natashav8381]

Depends on what you want to do? Do you want to spend time at sea?

[@Psycoholic2008]

^^ While the Air Force has carriers out at sea/dock, you are more likely to me at a land base in the Air Force, especially for the first two years. The Navy will put your ass on a boat or dock and tell you to enjoy the sea.

[@youraveragejoe2]

jack duval that's up to you and you only

[@Matt91593]

[@Matt91593]

Oh OK

[@asileharcourt4821]

Hey dude,so I'm wondering... I wanna become a commercial pilot but my parents insist on me entering the airforce instead of a college/flight school so...please tell me. Once in the airforce what are priorities and the time it takes from the airforce to my transition of actually pursuing a commercial pilot career and how much time all that stuff would take

[@budokaiman3938]

Asile Harcourt you can't become a pilot without college and that will give an edge to pursue your career later on. do your parents have any experience with the military?

[@asileharcourt4821]

Nope

[@Robert-goose1]

Asile Harcourt Firstly, you NEED a bachelors degree to join the Air Force. If you're joining the Air Force because you want a good name and some free training, it's time to stop thinking about that. Join for the experience, not the pay or the flight training.

[@anthonyrose8921]

Super late but is there a way to have a contract where I sign for one specific job ,or is that not a possibility.

[@cupnoodles6714]

Anthony Ouimette yes there is. You sign a guaranteed job

[@anthonyrose8921]

What process would I take to go about that

[@ZagPC]

I really want to be a loadmaster, plan to ship out this year. What exactly is the depth perception test like?

[@jjtproductions6415]

Thats test is busted, i am not a 100% perfect vision and i think that test was impossible because of it.

it was challenging for me.

[@brindanozelin7539]

what are the requirements to enlist as E-3 for BMT??

[@Matt91593]

45 college credits or more and you achieve that rank after bmt not before.

Or JROTC for 4 years

[@sixer21]

He low key wishes he could of earned the title ...

[@deejay6252]

@@mrsancheezee4793 Yeah I mean he’s probably just using a generalized statement but technically that’s not politically correct because he’s an Airman in the Air Force not a soldier in the Army.

If I have to pick other jobs, would I be able to retake the DLAB when I'm in the Air Force and working, then cross train for crypto linguist if I pass it? Is that what you're talking about with cross training?
