I have one negative counseling and it was for being late. Will the discharge affect my career outside the military? Answer: The first and most important thing I can tell you is that technical training is not the same as the operational military. Things are much different, and in most cases, much better, once you leave training. Start with Basic Training: you learn all the basics of being in the military—discipline, customs and courtesies, how to dress, how to march, how to maintain and fire a weapon, teamwork, and on and on.
You will be whipped into shape both physically and mentally. By default, Basic Training must be rigorous and rigid in its format and teaching. You will be yelled at. You will be put under stress. In short, you must learn all you can learn about living and functioning in your branch of service in just a few short weeks.
It is stressful because it has to be. You made it through Basic Training, and that is an accomplishment. Here is something your recruiters probably never told you: AIT and Tech School are in some ways an extension of what you learned in Basic Training.
If they did, they would have a huge problem on their hands. Trainees would go crazy and unlearn everything the Army just put them through. Instead, the Army must ease their training population into the active duty service.
Things like falling into formation at O-Dark-Thirty for crazy fun runs. Marching to class. Remaining in uniform for the first few weeks or months of class, confinement to base, room inspections, and all kinds of details that seem over-the-top to trainees. It also means more yelling, quick-paced learning, lots of tests, and lots of stress.
In many ways, the military keeps the stress level high on purpose. There are several reasons for this: They need to keep students focused on completing their training. Otherwise students will let their newly found discipline slack, and they will fail out of their training and be kicked out of the military.
That costs everyone a lot of time and money. The quick pace is designed to put students through the course as quickly as possible—again to see if they can handle it, but also because it costs the military a lot of money to train their troops.
Finally, the stress level is high because each branch needs to see if their trainees are physically, mentally, and emotionally tough enough to handle the stress the military will throw at them.
You are training for war, after all. The answer, as you well know, is yes. First, it takes a lot to fail out of AIT. If you fail a section, they will simply roll you back a couple weeks and you will repeat those weeks of training. During that time you can expect tutoring or extra homework to make sure you pass. At that point, the Army is simply going to reclass you into a different MOS.
This can take several weeks, or even a couple months. During your waiting time, you will have the honor of performing details around the squadron, including fun tasks such as cleaning, checking passes, and whatever else they can find for you. All the while you have to watch everyone on your squadron graduate and move on to the operational Army while you wait around for your next assignment.
Then you get your assignment and get shipped off to your next Tech School. At that time, you start over at the beginning in a new career field. What happens if you fail a second AIT? At that point they may look to separate you from the service, or they may try one more time to reclass you into another career field.
Either way, it will take several more weeks for them to process you. Did you join the Guard or Reserves? In that case, you may or may not be reclassed into a new job immediately. The Army may send you back to your unit for them to determine what to do with you.
That could mean reclassing you into a new job, or it could mean kicking you out. Either way, it will probably not be a quick process. Sure, you can get kicked out of the military for failing your PT test. All that means is you will get put on remedial physical fitness training, which will be monitored, and you will have to test every week or every other week until you pass. It will be very difficult to fail your test under these conditions.
This can only be initiated by your Commander. In your case, he must believe you simply cannot pass your training. A commander will not grant this type of discharge if he believes you are intentionally failing your coursework. If you are very lucky, that could be a general discharge.
But more than likely, it would be an Other than Honorable Discharge. This can have a negative impact on your future employment potential, especially if you want to ever work for a state or federal government, both of which will require you to disclose any and all military service, including your discharge status. Final note on discharges: yes, it is possible to get a discharge upgraded.
It can be done, but it is usually a lengthy process and requires you to prove there was an error during the discharge process. They can also earn up to 75 points for civilian education. An additional 30 points may be earned for airborne advantage. Soldiers also earn 80 promotion points for attending the Warrior Leader Course. But yes if you fail one event you fail the test it is no different then the APFT its like saying well I passed the push ups and sit ups but I failed the run or tape test that means you have still failed the test.
Instructors who fail a record APFT will be removed from instructing. The instructor will be reinstated to instructing once the APFT is passed. The U. But for now, soldiers will continue to take the more challenging fitness assessment. By regulation, you can be barred. Promotion points are received for academic excellence in BLC, however. ALC cannot be waived. BLC is optional. Answer: Yes. Warrior leadership is a powerful, selfless, motivating and unique leadership style that, if properly studied and practiced, can bring about desired results in your business.
The roots of warrior leadership can be found in many places.
