no fear! just give it a try, maybe a reserve component. if it’s not for you you’ll still have all the lessons learned you can use in the civilian sector.

​@@jeeannajuarez4117don't pay enough 😅

Did you do it?

Hi! I was wondering if you ended up doing exactly what was in the video? I keep finding comments scattered across the interenet saying they did completely different things, and was just wondering if you'd say this video was an accurate representation of the mos? I read that some people just played chess with patients and spent time with them, while another person never helped patients and only filed paperwork? Just curious because this is my mos and ship out in june. It's just hard to find more information aside from this video :)

My bad I am just seeing this now. Hopefully you should be already in AIT right now. Keep rocking its the army and we just turn to do a lot of miscellaneous army stuff too.

If I want to become a psychiatrist in the future, is this the MOS for me?

@@giannarose2801 it’s definitely a stepping stone. Joining the army you will get an opportunity to take college courses related to the MOS like psychology. If you have any other question feel free to ask?

Same I actually swore in yesterday for it, I'm going to do it in reserves so I can attend college in order to better my understanding of human psychology.

@@ckg_mythjr5495 take it from a civilian who has a psych degree, it's boring out here. The Military has got to be where the action is

Had the MOS from 88-94 loved the job / worked for VA following nearly the same job.

You can ask to transfer over after your contract is up. You can work a deal to sign a new contract, only if they can transfer you

I’m a 92Y

@@tazirecadet5991 I mean it's nothing wrong with being a 92y. I love it you will stay with a jobs

what are you going to do, skydive into an office full of depressed soldiers?

Alpha Male how do you like it

@@shoppinmal my bad let me clarify I'm not doing it yet I only enlisted a while ago I ship out to basic June 24th to fort sill but I cant wait I'm excited for what awaits and am looking forward to being a 68x that's the mos I chose

@@uzirodriguez9505 B Co 188 is cancerous... As far as i know that's where all the 68x go for AIT

Did you require a secret clearence to qualify?

@@anthonys4398 you don't need one to qualify. But I have a secret clearance... I didn't know until I checked my ERB 2 months ago. The instructors said it helps you actually preform your job though. Idk. I graduate today so we'll see. I go to Korea in January

I’m still deciding between this and Financial Management! Hope it goes well for you, are you already in the Army

@@user-uh5eg6qo5t I turned down 36B...I'm tired of clerical and accounting. To help other fellow soldiers cope and overcome certain struggles and assist in any way I can to make a difference and positive impact in their lives is much more rewarding for me. I shipt to BCT on 08/17 ( fort sill) then to Sam Houston for my AIT. My ig: rose_camarillo1

Same shipping out to fort sill next month

@@user-uh5eg6qo5t I hope you chose this instead of finance cuz I’m switching 😂😂😂

@@britneypot9769 nice, what Battery?

Is that really true? I was looking into taking up this mos next year after graduating. Are they removing it due to inefficiency?

Yes I am also considering this MOS is this really the case?

@@bluerayoraphim5421 I am leaning towards taking up this MOS in the air force now, but I looked into this one in the army after posting this and I am pretty sure the MOS will not be removed. You should ask your recruiter about this if you ever meet with one they should have more insight. Looking at john smith's comments he seems to not like this mos in particular. Mental Health is really being prioritized by the military and I've read that MOS like this one actually need more people and are undermanned.

@@hanwest5528 Hey Han thanks for replying. So are you looking at Mental health services job for the air force? I was looking into that as well. Unfortunately my Air Force recruiter tells me I can only go mechanical because I have a waiver for a simple drunk in public from 2013.. Funny thing is I have not drank in years haha. So that's what has lead me to now talk to an army recruiter. The air force recruiter said even if I get really high asvab scores it won't matter. He said he won't even let me take the asvab through him if I don't agree to go open mechanical and im not doing that so here I am looking into the same sort of job for the army.. How are you going about landing this job with the air force?? Yes, I would think it would be a necessary job in almost any military branch but especially the army. Again thank you for any and all info

@@bluerayoraphim5421 No problem man! Also sorry about your situation, as you probably know the Airfoce has the best lifestyle out of all the branches, so they get alot of applicants and usually meet their quotas. Owing to that, they're allowed to be more selective about who they choose. Also it sounds like your recruiter is trying to fill in a field low in applicants so he doesn't want to entertain anything else for you. You can wait until the field you want opens up in the DEP, but some recruiters like yours won't allow that. Good on you for sticking with what you wanted and going Army. From what I've learned you can pick your job in most other branches and are usually a guarantee to get the MOS you want there. I'm enlisting entry with a bachelors degree related to mental health specialist and a 3.5+ GPA, so I am hoping that might help. I'm also trying to score high PT and ASVAB scores. However, I do have a traffic accident where I was at fault. If my recruiter can't work with me to get this MOS I'll probably end up going Army like you.

Go Navy 🏳️‍🌈

What's this career number under the Navy?

- no , it's for enlisted . Madison Baker

I understand what are you saying but I think they train you to become a behavioral health tech/ mental health tech and a psychometrician assistant which in the us you need a high school Diploma. So it is to assist the mental health provider. And for the test they do I think it is to give them and do the scoring so the psychologist or therapist can give a diagnosis

I just finished this course and your basically a tech. All I am going to do is make sure patients are safe and I'm their person to talk to. My provider who IS licensed makes all the legitimate big decisions. I'm purely the middle man that makes the stuff happen

@@cobethoma5821 who does the 1 on 1 counseling with soldiers ongoing?

@@BradOrok Us BH techs do the assessments for intakes and walk ins. The provider do follow appointments and therapy

@@cobethoma5821 provider being state licensed social worker, PsyD, or MFT, LPC?

You have to pass your asvap with at least a 70 score. I got this Mos yesterday during Meps so tey.

@Brandon Mbhi I read somewhere that you just need to score high in the skilled technical part which consist of Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, General Science, Math Knowledge and Arithmetic Reasoning.

S M yes very true, just came back from the recruiting station.i am aiming for this job ❤️

@@SM-ju7rj yes i had high scores on them luckily.

@Brandon Mbhi That’s great! Congratulations!! This is a very rewarding job and I’m aiming to enlist with this MOS as well!

yes, but few.

@@johnsmith1671haha thanks, but i chose 25U with Airborne, i ship in January 13, fort jackson.

@@CesarCamposSk8 that's a really good choice post military. Just be resilient while you in.

@@johnsmith1671 definitely! i am a psych major (60% done) but 68X was not available so i chose 25U because all the carrear paths that it opens. As a 25U one can get as many certifications plus the experience side. Thanks for responding by the way.

@@CesarCamposSk8 rip I’m a 25U too. I regret it. I should have picked this mos

Who is your CO! I am reporting you!

Bro bravo is gone.. Alpha is the main company now

Depends on your pay grade and NOT your M.O.S.

42k which is pretty good for an entry level assessment job

Very good actually. Pretty sure this counts as credits towards college and can help with getting a counseling job

@@Sazi_de_Afrikan it allows you to take a credentialing exam for social services. it does not "translate" any better than infantry or 68W in terms of civilian education. however if your goal is to work as a low tier worker in a BH facility, Yea!

@@Sazi_de_Afrikan no it doesnt, not for the army, they get like 20 basic collage credits from this. GO NAVY

@Samuel Lozano actually yes for the Marine Corps, you may get some college credits for Harvard and Yale. GO MARINE CORPS!!!!!

@@JohnJohnson-pv6bz Good luck to anyone getting into Harvard or Yale when they get out bud. The average IQ of someone who gets in there is at least 130, so that drops out 98% of the human population without even looking at how they could potentially be an asset to the school. Doubt the military would even pay the tuition for one of them schools either.

Why you say that?

@@keepingupwithmoni are you serious? Do you want to deploy, advance in rank, not get treated as if you’re a dirt bag? If you do, don’t go to military behavioral health.

What's the best position?

@@Veicity25 I’m not saying 68X isn’t a good choice for an MOS. What I meant is that seeking help through military behavioral health isn’t a good plan. Find a civilian therapist so your career won’t be impacted. That being said whichever branch you choose, remember it should be something that can be used in the civilian sector when you get out. Coming from the combat arms community, most of what I did did not translate to a “real world” market.

@@docdomo620 literally untrue, we can and do deploy pretty often and get treated just fine. In fact most units who have a COSC BHT love them

Cloudfoam yeah psych meds that will make whatever malfunction the soldier has even worse, psychiatry kills .

Lol people like you are why the stigma about mental health in the military is the way it is and why the suicide rates are going up especially on the army

As an BHT, I'd rather get a service member kicked out and get better help, the to be a liability in combat, or even cause harm to themselves or others. Sometimes it's for better
