Hey Angela, I'm sorry that I asked you so many questions. In some of your videos, you mention that you are open to answering all the questions from your subscribers, but I'm extremely shy to contact you on IG. I understand English well, but I have trouble speaking it sometimes. I'm worried about my accent, especially when giving OPORD briefs during the Blue Phase. 1. Do I need very good English for OCS? 2. Do they give you the materials for the OPORD brief one week in advance to prepare? 3. Will people make fun of me because English is not my first language? Are there lots of Hispanics with accents who struggle a little bit to speak English at OCS? 4. Is land navigation and history very hard? I've read posts from native English speakers saying the course is very difficult. If they find it hard, I'm worried about what to expect as a non-native speaker. I really enjoy watching your videos; you're an inspiration to me. I can literally relate to your personality; I'm extremely shy and not that good at socializing.
@@xxheadshotxx5562 Hey when I tell people they are welcomed to contact me with as many questions as they need… I meant just that! I love to help people and I don’t mind the questions I encourage it. I even allow some people a phone chat with me. If you would like a phone chat contact me on IG if not I will answer all your questions here! 1.) No 2.) Yes 3.) Some people are mean they will fuck with you about something but your Spanish accent I doubt bc there are tons of people from different cultures with accents. 4. Yes it is a challenge but don’t let fear stop you. You will be fine! I appreciate that so much! Happy to know that my channel is bringing value to people!
For how long did you stay at BOLC?
@@xxheadshotxx5562 4 months
Are you on vacation?
not ranger qualified?
Congrats!!!! All that handwork paid off!!! What’s this soundtrack tho?!?
@@TeddyBear96. Yes, Thank you 🙏🏽 I went through a lot for sure! The song is a partial clip and instrumental from Kalid song called “Better.”
Is the OPORDS BRIEF REALLY HARD TO DO? Do they give you all the info for the briefing? Can you read your briefing orcyou have to memorize it all?
@@xxheadshotxx5562 It’s going to seem hard at first because the pleather of information and all they want you to cover. But once you do it a few times and watch others do it; it gets easier and you become more comfortable. Yes they go over all the details and information to teach how to do an opord. You don’t necessarily have to memorize it but they don’t want you reading everything word from word. They want you to know what you’re talking about but you will have the opord in hand to scan over it as your briefing.
@@angelastarr1603 Do they give you the information to study a couple of days before, or is it on the same day that you have to make your OPORD brief? Or do they just give you the information a few minutes before, so you can memorize it and do your brief? Also, how long does your brief need to be, 5 to 10 minutes?
@@xxheadshotxx5562 So you will have plenty of time to learn how to do an opord before your final grade. When I was there we were learning about opords for over a week if not more. So you will get a lot of practice and training. They will be picky about everything so just take notes on where to improve. Briefing can be around 5-10 mins you just have to make sure you are hitting all the key parts. You will have an opord template to guide you. You’ll be fine
So yall stay in Houston? I’m from Houston and I’m abt to go the Army
RIP Marquis I hope we will all meet again 😢.
We will big bro 🙏🏽💖 just focus on The Most High!
Yooo I used to be at 79th back in 2017 when I was a Private I’m an AG officer now at Fort Liberty. I’m going to be promotable to cpt next month and looking to VTIP to PAO. Can I hit you up with more questions ?
Of course
Your videos are amazing, they really help give me a glimpse into the life of an Army Lieutenant. I'm a senior in high school and upon graduation I hope to join with the Army ROTC and finish up at about the age of 20 (I almost have my associate's degree done with). Do you have any advice for someone like me that wants to become an officer? Is there something I should be preparing myself for? What did you feel like and go through when deciding whether or not to join the Army? Thanks!!
Thank you 😊 I started off in the Navy when I was 20 years old. I think the military is a great resource rather it’s a stepping stone or something you make a long term career from. However just like with most things it comes with (Pros and Cons). My advice would be to do what makes you happy! Rather you join and find that you like it or don’t like it… make sure you make the most of it! Educate yourself and set yourself up for success rather you stay in or get out. One of those things would be (Make sure you go to medical about EVERYTHING) just to have it documented for VA disability. If you’re thinking about joining as an officer I would say prepare physically and mentally lol Make sure you are fit enough to pass a 4 mile run within 36 minutes or less. Make sure you are mentally strong to deal with the non sense of people.
@@angelastarr1603 This is super helpful! Thank you!
😢
My girlfriend is among you
Who?
Nice! Hope you enjoyed the day!
I did thank you 😊
Awww
Once he learned, there's no going back to the crawlies.
after the first 3 weeks could we go off base and have weekend passes ?
You can go off base anytime you want before 3 weeks. When I was there we had Covid restrictions.
Hey Angela 🔥✨

Happy birthday mom

Happy Birthday

Thanks Fred 😊
You sound like a baby. How hard is it to use the map. You have landmarks, ridgelines, water, and other things to guide you. All of that you got scaped up, tht's part of it. Stop whining.
Can you give some tips of how to score 110 for ASVAB for OCS?
So I took my ASVAB back in 2008 when I enlisted in the Navy. The recruiter had given me a study guide and that study guide was the best I’ve seen. It was closely related to the actual test. I studied it for weeks and on my 2nd attempt I scored high. That’s all I did…
what is the Asvab score requirement for this MOS if you are coming in as an officer?
To become an officer regardless of your MOS you need a GT score of at least a 110 or higher. Your GT score is incorporated with you ASVAB score so example I have a 60 ASVAB score and a 113 GT score.
Man, can’t wait till I join the military and become an mp officer, five years left till I begin ROTC and whatnot but I am so pumped!! Gonna follow in my dads footsteps.
hey, I know your an officer buts your job ?
Quartermaster
Greetings to you from Iraq❤
How’s this working out for you? I’m waiting on MEPS now. I have a degree in Mass Media. Is there any way I can reach out to you?
Hi, yes most people reach me on instagram message angelastarr87 I’m more than happy to speak with you and answer any questions you have?
I messaged you but it’s probably in your requests
“4 days,” goddamn whenever you finally (if you don’t dodge it like everyone else) deploy you’re gonna have a hard time lol
The only hard time I would have is being away from my children. There’s nothing else I can’t get through! But good thing deployment is something I’ll never have to worry about 😊
After in-process and orientations and briefs, how long would you say your typical “work day” was ? PT at 0600, COB by 1700? Thank you in advance ! Also, is laundry free ? And are the machines on every floor ?
Hi! Often things change from time to time but when I was there depending on your instructor you’ll do PT around 6-7am you’ll have a hour to hour/half to shower, eat breakfast and be in class around 8am. You’ll get 2-3 15 min breaks and 1-2 hour lunch. Class ends between 5-6pm and repeat. Weekends are free to do what you want. Laundry rooms are free and are 2 rooms on every floor.
@@angelastarr1603 thank you for your response !
How did you find a PAO to shadow?
He is the PAO for my unit and he was visiting the unit one drill when I met him.
Happy birthday to Terry (hope I spelled it right) she has a beautiful family!
It’s ok lol it’s Terri and thank you 🙏🏽
Your videos are amazing!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Wow this place looks like a lot of fun!!
Love California ❤
Had so much fun!
Had so much fun!
I live there
Are you allowed to wear make up at OCS?
When I was there No, but I saw certain people do it. It was only allowed for formal and graduation
Did everyone get put into the hotel ? Don’t some get put into those crap barracks a half mile from the hotel ?
I’m not aware of any barracks. When I was there everyone was put in a hotel. Either on base or off base.
Do you know what might happen if a soldier gets sick during STX? Like flu sick?
You can choose to go to sick call and return back same day or push through. Or you can you will have to do it with another class. Depending on the commander they’ll work with you to make it up and stay in your current class. This is how it was when I was there. I don’t know about now a lot has changed.
Thanks for the info! My son and I visited our soldier for thanksgiving and it turns out my son developed the flu the last day we were there. He left for STX the next day, so I’ve been waiting nervously to see if he got the flu and had to leave STX training. 😅 I appreciate the info!
@@solideogloria5593 No problem!
Would you be able to provide a solid study guide?
The History test along with other things have changed since I left. The test is no longer multiple choice it’s written from what I hear.
