What MOS are you all?

Husband is 11B, just graduated basic and AIT starts today. Another 3 months apart. Miss him like crazy

You go to A.I.T.(MOS Training) Then you go to your duty station. If your Reserve or National Guard, you are then released from active duty and pick up your first DD-214, and then you are sent home to report to your Reserve or National Guard unit.

I get shipped out next month for BCT, wish me luck. 11c.

Initial Entry Training (IET) is just the start. Go Infantry like I did, and you'll go from civilian to fully-MOS qualified Soldier in 22 weeks (14 in my day as both a Trainee and Drill Sergeant). Most other MOS' will see you complete nine weeks of Basic Combat Training (BCT) followed by Advanced Individual Training (AIT). When you enlist, each little step is a milestone. If you're in White Phase (weeks 4-6) of BCT, the Red Phase (weeks 1-3) units are "Cherries". If you've earned your Soldier status and are in AIT on Fort Jackson, the BCT Trainees are like little children to be ignored. Never mind that weeks earlier you were in their shoes, you've made it, and they haven't. Once IET is over, the real transitory period begins. You're an MOS qualified Soldier, but you have to adjust to your unit, master your job, and above all else, prove yourself to your leaders and peers. If you're married and/or have kids, you've got to find the right balance of being a good family man/woman and Soldier. It's up to you to take care of both your personal and professional lives; dropping the ball on family is an obvious no-no, but most leaders will only give you so much leeway when it comes to using family as an excuse. "SGT, I'm going to be late this morning, the baby kept me up all night" might fly once or twice but will eventually lead to consequences. I spent 21 years in uniform and now just make lengthy (and arguably worthless) comments on videos like this. During my time in, though, I did just over three years as a Recruiter, two as a Drill Sergeant, and was an Infantry NCO for 18 years. I like the positive and informative content a lot of you creators are putting out, and judging from the comments, it's very beneficial to those in the training pipeline or thinking about enlisting.

Discord gang here man. Great vid as always!

Discord Gang 😎 Appreciate for the info as always 🙏🏻

68w was changed to only phase 4 (black phase) and phase 5 (gold phase)

I got done with everything. I just need my background waiver to go through then i can choose my MOS. Praise God! 19K or 15T

68w here (best mos in the Army)

Can you make a video for reservist transitioning to Active Duty? I seen a lot of videos on YT about what happens if Active Duty switches to a Reserve Component, but not one for those like myself switching to Active Duty. What should a reservist expect and should know upon making the successful transition to Active Duty?

Ship out Monday to reception/ 11B NG

Ben, can you do a segment on what the current 18x experience is like? Or perhaps interview someone that is or went through it. I’m seriously considering joining just for that and would like some more info man

I ship on the 20th. 68D.

Can you interview someone that’s a 25 hotel? I know it’s a newer MOS but I can’t find much information about it.

think you can make a on base housing, for married soldiers ? how to request, what process ? I haven’t shipped yet, but want be ahead to get my family settled at a home

When does graduation happen if headed to AIT Army INFANTRY? Is there a period of time between BCT & AIT or will graduation take place after AIT?

I was a 91C for 4 yrs and now currently a 31B

i’m praying i get to go to basic . i have my vision consult on the 28th

One of the longest, if not the longest AIT - 35P with a Cat 4 language - 15 months language training at DLI, 4 months job training at Goodfellow. It ends up being like 21+ months. It was insane.

I ship next month on the 30th. 14E

#TheRealArmy did you make that separate video yet?

4 man AIT room in 87 at Fort Jackson...

Hi. Can my children come with me if my AIT is 52 weeks long? I’m a single mom and I’m working with a recruiter now.

Do we get a break after basic like non combat mos while in OSUT or are we just doing 22 weeks straight. I’m currently at the airport shipping out lmao

I remember I was watching all of your videos before I joined. Now I’m abt to hit 3 years in soon that’s crazy😭🤣

Do they give you the covid-19 vaccine at reception? I haven't gotten mine yet.

MP osut is fun

I went OSUT for Military Police. After basic training, I remained with my basic training unit but we were treated like AIT soldiers.

I gained 40lbs after basic training 😩😭

Joining 11bravo this summer

How tall are you, im 5ft5 119 thinking about joining the airforce.

Real army vid is good but also a update on BCT or living during AIT

Real army

When you graduate basic, you become an official chisel chest!

Ye getting recessed in AIT is a BITCH to deal with, I had a couple 68p kids who had to reclass to MEDICS. They went from 6 figure jobs to like 30k jobs outside the military

My son is now in AIT as 92F after ait how long usually they stay in there 1st duty station ?

I have a question... im 37 and about to talk to an Army recruiter, im in great shape and hungering to join. Would you recommend a 4 or 8 yr contract for someone who feels like they could handle a longer contract, to the very end?

Real Army please

'Promo SM'

My son is in BCT now . He chose MOS 14P . I have been searching his MOS and can't find a lot about it but what I did learn was that they deploy a lot. Now my heart is hurting.
