Out of curiosity, if you fail out of TBS what happens? I would assume a loss of commission and essentially a 6 year commitment as an enlisted dude? Or are you straight up kicked out?

It's really rare, they find most of the really bad dumbasses in OCS. If you screw up bad but non-egregiously expect a recycle to Week 1 and you can try again. For catastrophically idiotic events, if you came in via ECP or MECEP and have obligated service, you probably revert to your enlisted rank (unless it was like, UCMJ-chargeable and they kick you out). Otherwise (and this is where you'd be, I think) you can expect an administrative separation.

We had a guy go all the way through TBS twice. He got recycled for an "ethical failure" in like week 20, was in limbo for a while, showed up with my company Week 1 and was almost at the end then did ANOTHER idiotic thing. You can't recycle twice, so they had to either separate him or not, and he was a prior SSgt or something with a bunch of years and a brand new kid. They ended up sticking him in a supply warehouse where he couldn't hurt anybody somewhere I think.

This is the guy who got to ask the Commandant his-goddamn-self a question during his visit and led with "Sir we were in the field last week and my baby boy, I love my baby boy, he peed, he peed by himself for the very first time, and I wanted to know how you balance work and home as an officer."

Also he instagrammed himself CONSTANTLY.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
You really can't fail TBS. I didn't try and got top third of my class. Just don't cheat and you're pretty much guaranteed to pass. Get an air contract if you can. I'm sure over designed covered most everything but feel free to PM me.

Fair points. I was more just wondering if someone straight up failed a ruck march. But I also figure it's probably second nature by the time you get to that.

Second meeting tomorrow. Yay


post OSO meeting: It's pretty much been solidified that none of the recruiting NCO's nor the OSO thinks that getting guaranteed flight contract with an age waiver is doable. They think that I have a better shot than most if I can knock out a 300 PFT, along with my masters/medical experience, but they mentioned that the waiver is, I believe a garrison waiver rather than a division waiver? Either way, they kind of were hinting at going open contract and playing the odds, and of course let me know that infantry officers have huge penis's to bludgeon terrorists etc etc...

Doesn't reserve components work a bit different with job placement rather than sheer needs of the corpse? My greatest fear in life would be getting a Motor T or Supply billet.

Normally it's whatever of the 4 closest units needs the slot filled for reserve officers

e: this is according to what a few of my old unit's supply officers told me

That's somewhat what I got pitched. Was more of a "you can choose a place to live and within that area you're given an MOS or you can choose a list of MOS's and if you get one of your few picks then you're required to find transportation to that unit."

I was switched to open contract (never admit to doing :catdrugs: ever) and had a 285 PFT, expert marksman, 99 ASVAB.

MOTOR T BITCH

VV I hit the halfway point at 9 minutes and decided I could take it easy. Final time was like 19:15, fastest I've ever run in my life. Even as an Oki super stud LCPL the best I ever did was the high 20's.

But didn't you know, if you get a 300 PFT Recon battalion kidnaps you out of your bunk and sends you directly to recon school! /PFC UNDERGROUND

Max max relax bro. The secret to first class.

Seriously, if you don't get a first class, you're worthless.

What I'm saying is, nicely, get twenty pull ups.

I am going to quote Bob a feet in unironic agreement.

Install a pull up bar in like your office or bedroom doorway or somewhere else you frequent in the house. Every time you pass through that doorway, crank out a max set. That's what I did before I went to boot for like a month and I went able to do 18 (ironically boot itself fatigued my muscles so much I was only able to do 16 on the final pft, but whatevs).

E: I started off being able to do 13.

we had a dude in my unit who was clearly retarded, dumb as gently caress who could follow commands really well.

in the stall next to me, there he was, telling the pecker checker "I can't pee s'arrnt!". The UA administering sarcastically said "Well try sticking your finger up your rear end and see if you can push some pee out." not 2 seconds later.. "NO DON"T ACTUALLY STICK YOUR FINGER UP YOUR rear end, WHAT THE gently caress!".

Gotta love stupid people and UA's.

After the initial yelling of SGT. Dick Watch, the private was like "you told me too!" in which me and a few other individuals attempting to pee couldn't stop laughing. SGT. Dick Watch yelled back at him "YOU CANT FORCE PEE OUT YOUR loving rear end in a top hat. GET THE gently caress BACK AT THE END OF THE LINE!"

It took about 10 minutes before the entire company to find out that the dude..... in the words of the UA Sgt. "Stuck his entire finger and part of his fist up his rear end/butt cheeks". The guy was already quiet but it was on a whole new level, and every so often for the next few months people would make subtle jokes about it.
