Worst day of your life 4K

Do you have something you are willing to die for? When I was going through Indoc in 2005 I had made up my mind the only way I could come home is either I made it or had to be kicked out for medical reasons. There were no other options. Every day my team commander used to say this one line which has stuck with me to this day.
Now I know what he said was something he fully accepted and was willing to face head on. For me, I passed it off as a joke and didn't conceptualize what it actually may have meant to him when he was saying it. Now as I am looking back I realize the thought process and application to the scenario we were in.
Constantly getting in and out of the pool, worried that the next event will be our last if we failed and being pushed to the limits of our resolve. My team and I went through selection with blinders on the sides of our eyes not realizing the impact on our lives that this career we were embarking on would have.
The times enduring physical and mental anguish are all worth it and in fact were some of the best times a person can have as a young man. It is where we all went to become men honestly and the lessons learned were 100% worth the torture we put ourselves through. I hope everyone has an experience where they leave it all on the table and are able to keep up the momentum.

The Foundation program is now available at beapj.com/workouts/programs/ along with my other programs for selection. As always if you ever need anything hit me up at [e-mail]

[@jarradphillips2218]

Your a huge inspiration to my son,Gage. He sent you a video of himself eating spaghetti in a charged mask. Because of you he is consumed with getting in pipeline and proving his mettle, after completing high school. The positive message your putting out is much appreciated and not falling on deaf ears!

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Yes I remember that video haha, he has great potential. I am humbled and honored to help. If he ever wants to hop on a phone call just ask him to email me and we can setup a time. It's always great to see parents who invest in their kids interest. Thank you for the support sir

[@jamminjeff37]

Great video Brian , my son just shipped on a SWOE contract we have followed you since the Ones Ready days , we broke down all the videos from OR and this channel....just wanna say thanks and it's on him now!!!

[@HowToBeAPJ]

That is very exciting, when you talk to him next let him know I am rooting for him and to not forget why he started this journey in the first place when it gets hard. Don't let negative thoughts creep into his head, take it one minute at a time. Thank you for the support!

[@kevinst.george8174]

Hey Brian, I appreciate all the words of wisdom and fortified mental foundations that provide the mindset to success. I leave for the pipeline in 2 weeks and I know your words will be engrained in my mind when times get tough. Thank you!

[@iambutafish]

Thanks bro. I just got done watching a bunch of your videos and I now know for 100% certainty that this is the path I want to take.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Happy to help man, best of luck to you!

I’ve heard that in training they drown you? Is that true? Also, what are the standards to pass indoc?

[@HowToBeAPJ]

No one is giong to drown you, I have had many students pass out under water and we take this very seriously and do a full medical screening for those individuals. There is no more indoc it is now assessment and selection and the baseline is you should be able to pass the IFT after that you will have a few other tests which people will help train you to.

[@Driz777]

In the DEP in Utah. First official IFT on the 18th if I pass I have one more. Then I go to MEPS and I’m gone. 34 years old. Weighed 255lbs now at 198. Super nervous want this more than anything I’ve ever wanted. Any advice for an older guy? I know my age is a factor. It’s now or never for me and I’d rather die then not do this.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Congrats on putting in the work to lose the weight and get in shape, keep going with that mindset man and you will make it happen. For older guys usually I see better consistency because they are putting their lives on hold for this thing and you know if you dont make it you will have to go back wondering what could have been. Train hard and smart dont let there be any question in your mind whether you could have done more and you will make it. If you have any questions you can always email me at [e-mail]

Damn! Words that I seriously needed to hear

[@bradleyblancoofficial]

Hi Brian, I have a few questions I’d like to know if you don’t mind answering them. First is how many deployments you’ve had ? And what has been the longest deployment in your career? Do you know of anyone having gone to be a PJ holding a dual citizenship? Thanks!

[@HowToBeAPJ]

I have had 8 deployments and the longest was close to 6 mo. I have known others born in other countries however, I never asked about the paperwork process for becoming a PJ with that status. It is possible though.

[@bradleyblancoofficial]

@@HowToBeAPJ thank you!!

[@Justgambleit]

Love your mindset principles Brian! You keep me going everyday to become a PJ. I can’t help but smile when shit gets tough from your workouts 😎 TOML 👣

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Hearing about you and the rest of the people getting after it, motivates me as well! Keep up the good work. See you at the next event!

[@davidhata6796]

Reminds me of the Simpsons meme "worst day of your life.... So far :)"

[@vIper____]

Thanks for continuing to make these videos they help out more then you’ll probably ever know

[@HowToBeAPJ]

That truly means a lot to me, thank you for the kind words

[@Cheeeeeeeeeech]

What are the recommended and required schools to become a pj

[@HowToBeAPJ]

There are no prerequisites to join to become a PJ

[@jos5936]

Thanks for this, Brian. Videos like this help me stay dialed in during my training.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Happy to help!

[@thatkid4240]

Is 28 years old too old to be a PJ you think?

[@Zeke115]

Do it. No balls.

[@thatkid4240]

@@Zeke115 🤣🤣 I'm leaving right now to enlist! Lol

[@clap5]

No, do it now.

[@LetsTalkAW]

Age qualification is 39 and under I’m pretty sure

[@jos5936]

I’ll be shipping out when I’m 33. Do it

[@kevinyanezmartinez6121]

When i read Jimmy Sattles, I never quit the book he spoke of Major Adrian. Crazy to think you were in the same indoc class as him. My confolences, sir.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

I always liked Settle, he was always positive through Indoc and was a good dude to be around.

[@jonnydawgs317]

Are the workout programs on your website and is the associated app up to date? Just popped over to your Insta and saw there hasn't been a post in some time.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

totally valid question and I have been keeping up to date on what is required for selection as well as the recent reintro to Indoc they are doing. I will continue to modify the workouts as need to ensure they are the best and most up to date workouts available. To answer your question directly, yes they are up to date

[@maddogrob]

Thank you for your channel. I heard about you from General Discharge. I was wondering what MOS (if any) would help someone trying to prepare/get ahead to become a PJ?

[@HowToBeAPJ]

If you are looking to go into PJ I would recommend going straight into it and not spending any time trying to do another job.

[@justaguy2040]

Hi Brian new follower here I just wanted to say I been binge watching your videos as of lately. I gotten inspired to be a PJ one day like yourself but I have long road for me. Reason because of dealing with leaving my comfort zone and pushing myself to loose weight and never give up until you came and gave me this inspiration. To try and push myself to be better version of me and so I want to ask what workouts or anyway I can train to one day become a PJ like yourself.

[@ryanhanson4549]

Look up AFSPECWAR fitness preperation program, there is a free pdf on google you can download. It is a 26 week (6 month) workout schedule split into two phases. The first phase gets you ready to meet the IFT standards, and the second gets you in shape to be a recommended candidate at assesment and selection. If its too hard at first just copy the workouts but do them with less intensity. Ive been using the program for several weeks and its worked great. Make sure your diet is on point though. Getting in shape does not work without the correct nutrition. Get obsessed and make the goal of becoming a PJ your life, just the idea of this job helped me find purpose and has changed my life. Good luck, maybe one day I'll see you at selection!

[@Dexter47]

thank you for the video, in yours years in the special warfare you know a one guy that his first language was not the english? i ask that beacuse I was born en usa but I was grow up in mexico and i was like if i have one oportuniry of be selected if I survive A&S with my basic english

[@HowToBeAPJ]

It is just like anything else, if speaking english is a weakness of yours then work at it to perfect it! Dont let these barrier stop you, your character shows through when you put in the effort.

[@Dexter47]

@@HowToBeAPJ Sir, thank you very much. I really appreciate your words. I will continue working to improve my English.

[@clap5]

I sent 2 messages on the AFSW site in the past month and still no reply. Why is that?

[@HowToBeAPJ]

I have no idea man, if you have the ability to I would just show up to the recruiters office or call them. I am a big fan of getting things done in person when it is something important to me and someone else is needed to help

[@TheGoldenboyLiltwist]

Thank you so much !

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Of course, hope it helps

[@sr.pabl0806]

Will the Air Force take me after I finish my time in the navy? Currently an E-5 4 years in. 2 more to go

[@shabushabu1453]

Look in to being released early; DD Form 368.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Yes they will take you however there are very few candidates they take who are E-6 or above so I agree with the comment about trying to transfer over earlier if you can

[@Driz777]

Thanks for all your work in putting these great videos and info out there. Has helped immensely.

[@HowToBeAPJ]

Glad to help
