I just finished MEPS yesterday, everything went well expect the fact that doctor said I have flat feet so I had do go back in 2 weeks to get X-rays on my foot. If it goes well I will leave for OSUT on March 17th. I’m in decent shape but want get in the best shape of my life before basic training so I will work my ass off to get in great shape. Thanks for the advice and wish me luck.
Zachery Todd To see how flat my feet are. I ended up getting DQ so I had to get a waiver and once it got approved I went back to MEPS to swear in. I ship on May 14th to Fort Sill as 13J
Caleb Roche assuming you can do atleast 50 push ups and sit-ups in two minutes and run a sub 16 2-mile time you’ll be fine. Just focus on not getting hurt. Drink a lot of calcium and take fish oil to prepare your joints. OSUT is meant to destroy your body and mind.
Hey! Thank you for this info. My husband just left 2 days ago, BravoX infantry. Question- did you guys get to go outside at all during reception? Do you guys get to get fresh air? Also I heard that nobody is allowed to speak and remain quiet at all times, is that true? Thanks!
Psh try doing the 22 week cycle bruhhhh it’s wild . I didn’t get home sick til honestly week 17 ish lol so yeah I was like fuck fuck bruhhh i Wanna quit it got quite to easy I can run for days and pt my ass off 😂
Thanks for this video man iamgoing Guard to, and I leave in 6 days doing infantry OSUT and iam feeling a bit discouraged but I know to pour my heart out. I am just scared physically haha
Esteban Gonzales at this point is too late for the physical stuff. Right down why you joined and remember those reasons when you are feeling down you can use them to motivate yourself
Signing an infantry contract after my moral waiver gets approved, already went to meps , how hard is it to get a shot at airborne after oust ? I cant get it in my contract due to the need of a waiver.
jeremy Porter it’s really not that hard. Just when the drill sergeants ask you, who wants to go possibly meet up with the airborne liaison. Say, I do. It doesn’t guarantee it, but just go and ask...
originally I wanted CaV scout but there are no units in northern California only Central and Southern California... and I'll be damn if I'm driving down south every month. hahaha 😂
I go to ft.benning on Tuesday for infantry osut and during the AIT phase are we still in barracks with all them people and do we have our phones by then?
im a pog and ive choked out infantry men so i dont mind that word.and i deal with weapons all the time so meh.i do more soldier shit than construction.
Alone in Glory honestly take the practice ASVAB and see what you need to work on. As far as SF I can't help you out on that, just do some research on whatever you are specifically looking to learn
took my ASVAB two days ago in high school, did not get results yet but if I were you I'd make sure i learned about general mechanics and electric. good luck
What is the best way to prepare for bct at fort Benning? I passed the physical, and I retake the asvab again on the 16th. I'm planning on choosing 11b national gaurd.
For anyone going to Basic or OSUT, some of you will likely encounter the typical dbag or trouble making asshole. I had a real shitbag in my platoon that was always causing me problems and fukin shit up, and setting a bad example to get his minions fukin off too. You'll need to get that handled. In infantry we were only allowed to use the back Emergency stairs the entire training, which are a bit cramped and always having to run everywhere. It's chaotic bc it's always a hurry tbing, so just get yourself behind that fukhead on a way down and push his ass hard. He'll likely get hurt with some sort of leg injury getting him out of there, on profile, or at least set a tone of "don't fuck off anymore". Running down like that nothing can prove you did anytning. Shitbags need to get dealt with, esp when causing you and/or everyone else grief.
Thanks for the video man. Good info

Just graduated OSUT at sandhill 4 days ago. I can’t help but maniacally laugh as I watch some of you guys in the comments enlist. Haha
What is the best way to prepare? I leave for infantry osut in 19 days.

@@tokioyzf5323, I took the apft test at rsp drill, my situps were 23 in two minutes, 37 pushups in two mins and two mile run was 17.36
Caleb Roche good luck, you’re going to need it lol. Just don’t quit and they will get you to where you need to be.
@@tokioyzf5323, Awesome
Leaving this August. I’m mostly worried about the physical aspect but working on getting in the best shape possible
Me too man, I ship out the 12th/13th to Fort Benning
@@partypickle2012 Same yo leaving this Monday to Benning might see u their brotha
Man the food was the best part.

Do you ever get your phone back like during the AIT part of OSUT? Is it split like BCT/AIT or is it all one thing
Psh try doing the 22 week cycle bruhhhh it’s wild . I didn’t get home sick til honestly week 17 ish lol so yeah I was like fuck fuck bruhhh i Wanna quit it got quite to easy I can run for days and pt my ass off 😂
Do you take the pt test at the 8-9 week mark in OSUT or towards the last week of OSUT
Thanks for this video man iamgoing Guard to, and I leave in 6 days doing infantry OSUT and iam feeling a bit discouraged but I know to pour my heart out. I am just scared physically haha
Any tips?

CT Tactical Yeah for sure man, iam ok physically haha. Actually got a confidence boost today physically, but for sure ans noted man!
Esteban Gonzales well great. Good luck to you man!!
And im here just waiting for my med waiver its been 58 days and counting.(Shoulder surgery im 100% cleared from my doctor)
How many pull-ups/push ups should i shoot for?
Swearing in as infantry in a month 💯 you think I should memorize the creed before hand?
Jacob Fabian absolutely

5 o’clock formation !? 😭😭💯💯
the only thing I think il have a problem with is remembering the creeds...
LICKMYNYNE try and learn it man, what is your MOS?
trying to go infantry in the national guard. trying to remember everything before hand
LICKMYNYNE infantry is the way to go
originally I wanted CaV scout but there are no units in northern California only Central and Southern California... and I'll be damn if I'm driving down south every month. hahaha 😂
I go to ft.benning on Tuesday for infantry osut and during the AIT phase are we still in barracks with all them people and do we have our phones by then?
you might get it on Sundays for a few minutes but you definitely won't have them for long. Usually it was 20 minutes
and yes you will be in the same platoon bay for all of infantry osut
does they tech you combatives ?
So between the two MOS’ 68W and 11B which is better because I’m stuck between the two.
depends on what you want to get out of the military, medical training or combat training..
Hey CT, will we have any time to work out while at reception?
not much, enough to do pushups in the barracks but honestly reception was pretty busy and not much sleep
How hard is basic training for infantry? Like I'm skinny but I've never done sports and I've only been playing videogames for the past year
its not that bad but you need to start doing pt now if you are joining
What if you cant keep up with the group runs? I'm leaving in a month I duck at running
How was it?
im a pog and ive choked out infantry men so i dont mind that word.and i deal with weapons all the time so meh.i do more soldier shit than construction.
noestoyfacil "almost infantry" right? lmao
i swear i thought i would do construction all the time.nope.
noestoyfacil but you’re still a POG
Still a pog though
Any tips on boosting my Asvab score? I want to go Infantry but I'd also like Special Forces
Alone in Glory honestly take the practice ASVAB and see what you need to work on. As far as SF I can't help you out on that, just do some research on whatever you are specifically looking to learn
CT Tactical thanks man, I appreciate it
took my ASVAB two days ago in high school, did not get results yet but if I were you I'd make sure i learned about general mechanics and electric. good luck
Lethal Motion good to know, thank you
yes sir no problem
How much running did you do to prepare?
Like your average time per mile and how many miles?
im leaving for ft benning in 2 days. what aare my chances of being 11b instead of 11c?
Joshua Gatti depends on the army's needs
Joshua Gatti I’m pretty sure it’s a 3:1 ratio of 11b to 11c
I leave today
Hi I have a question please make a video or reply back. How is it being an 11b in the National guard ? Becuase I just enlisted as an 11b ?
Infantry grunt Warrior I definitely will when I get back from Ft Hood
CT Tactical please don't forget brother thanks man
CT Tactical Yes, please do. I just joined as infantry in the Guard and I'm curious as well. Thanks!
making it tomorrow. sorry I had this nasty infection on my face. wasn't herpes lol
CT Tactical Haha, thanks brother!
What is the best way to prepare for bct at fort Benning? I passed the physical, and I retake the asvab again on the 16th. I'm planning on choosing 11b national gaurd.
Caleb Roche lots of running and pushups. just try to be in good shape before you get there
Caleb Roche I just graduated today.... really no way to prepare.... just expect the unexpected
Hammam H, Congrats man, I enlisted in Army Ng New Mexico as 11bravo. So intense preparation isn't needed?
Hammam H, Is it possible to fail basic or is the only way to fail is to quit?
just go active lol
Did you guys get offered airborne slots while in osut?
johnathan hennix to a few active duty guys yes
Cool man thanks.
Don’t do it find another mos not hating on 11bravo but being here for 22 weeks ain’t worth it honestly it wouldn’t be bad if it was 22 weeks though
infantry man's creed?
Esteban Gonzales Google it
Is the final pt test in osut 2 miles ik the basic pt test is but i mean the pt test to pass infantry
jordan Medlin it's the same army pt test
For anyone going to Basic or OSUT, some of you will likely encounter the typical dbag or trouble making asshole.

So the infantry shoots the M4 only ?
lol no. 249,240, mk 19,50 Cal,at4, m4, 12 gauge shotguns, and more depending if you are light or mechanized..
CT Tactical I’m sorry I meant to say for the two options as for m16 and m4 . So the infantry touches the m4 and pogs only the m16. I
@@AlonSOAMAZING yea infantry doesn't touch m16s
How many miles was the longest ruck march?
Michael Jones 12 miles, but it wasn't that bad
CT Tactical we did a 10 mile ruck in fort LeonardWood so 12 miles is not that bad
matrone plight plus you work yourself up to it, so your body is conditioned to it at that point
CT Tactical True, all that running we did at basic and AIT I can run a 13 min two mile all day long.
CT Tactical 91b leads the way HOOAH
Is OSUT 14 or 16 weeks?
16
14 for 11B
Brandon Viale no, It’s 16 for 11B too.
My contract says 14
@@brandocomando29 my contract also says 14, so I'm thinking that the 16 weeks is a policy that will be implemented in the future, after out ship dates
Your eyebrow looks like it's about to jump off of your face.
Ryan Stokes yea not sure wtf was happening, but didn't want to record a new one
Do they drug test you at reception?
TheRichman3000 i didn't take one, but that doesn't mean you won't have to..
No
TheRichman3000 shouldn’t be worried about that to begin with
