CW2 Private RallyPoint Member 5130117 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yet another installment of Jeff&#39;s &quot;succeed at school&quot; log<br /><br />1) The Army Recruiting School is designed for you to pass, most people I observed to have trouble did one of two things: tried too hard and overthought everything aka put too much pressure on themselves, or they didn&#39;t try at all and just shammed. It is not hard!<br /><br />2) Be proficient in searching PDFs, yes plural. You will have multiple PDFs open at a time and need to search for your answers to determine if a potential recruit is eligible to join the Army, this is the biggest killer of the course, the Basic Entrance Exam. Searching a PDF is all about the right keyword. Typing a sentence doesn&#39;t work because Regs and FMs are written by bureaucratic robots, so picking the right word to search for can make or break you - hint paragraph titles and chapters are good to know.<br /><br />3) Your interview and phone call are just a guided conversation, that&#39;s all. You are given the shell of how it goes, and you get to fill it in based on your own experience and way you communicate (do not talk like you&#39;re from the streets - speak normal English), but there is freedom in how you do it. If you get a little out of order, don&#39;t worry just go back and get what you missed, it&#39;s fine.<br /><br />4) Ft Knox sucks and Recruiting school is the opposite of physical and only 3 days of PT a week. It is essentially a party school. Have fun, but remember you are there to pass and your assignment is dependent on it. School comes first, then fun, and remember everyone is a Soldier first, don&#39;t do anything stupid! 2019-10-15T13:37:35-04:00 CW2 Private RallyPoint Member 5130117

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Assignments: Do not be afraid to call USAREC G1 before you report to Recruiting school and ask for a specific Battalion or Company or even Station. If you get to school and you are told you are getting a place you really don&#39;t want, try to find someone to swap with you before just asking for a change. If it comes to a straight up request, be able to justify your desire with reasons why, not just &quot;because Camden sucks&quot;. The better you can explain and use details the better chance you have.
