I have a little less than a year before I join what should I do to prepare for the asvab and boot camp
As I suggested in the other try this on for size for the ASVAB. As far as preparing for basic training, I assume you mean physically, correct? Well you should also prepare mentally for basic training. Here are a few suggestions:
- Start doing military push ups, crunches, and back bends;
- Start try to run a little bit every day;
- If you don't already, learn how to swim;
- Make sure you understand that once you sign that paperwork, Uncle Sam owns your a$$ until it expires and a Drill Sergeant owns your a$$ for 10 weeks;
- Watch some youtube videos about boot camp and such;
- Make sure you understand the risks involved with the commitment - not only the obvious;
- Make sure you understand the FULL SCOPE of the MOS you're going for - easy is never easy
I'm sure the Sargent knows better than I! But if memory serves me right the more running you do the better!
BTW what's the back bend? We didn't do that when I was in?
If you own a rifle it might not hurt to learn how to shoot, or shoot more accurately.
If your heavy try to lose a few, It will save you a lots of discomfort.
Best of Luck
Is there any study guides or tips you can give for the asvab
Training must have changed since I went to basic and was an AIT instructor...the first phase was called red phase, then white, and finally blue...and since I was OSUT it went to black and then gold to finish.
Anyways, for the kid...just do exactly what you're told when you're told to do it. 90% of your success is just going to consist of being in the right place, at the right time, in the right uniform...if you do that, I promise you your drill sergeants will do the rest and your transition will be less painfull. Your job is not to ask or even know the "why" you're doing something....it is to act. Remember that.
I've decided on the navy
I will be 17 Tommorow I'm trying to talk my parent into letting me enlist in the navy any advice they won't budge
