- In this video I'm gonna give 10 small changes to succeed in the Military. Air Force promotions can be difficult if you don’t prepare right. I sucked at being successful in the Air Force for about my first 10 years. After trial and error, I've learned how to be a better leader and Airmen. If you're trying to take control of your military career or become a better military leader, or promote I hope these 10 tips can help you achieve that.

Hey Jody! I’m currently in the DEP Program for Air Force active duty. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and my recruiter recommended some of your videos too! Your videos have helped me gain confidence in joining the Air Force and overall making a difference in my life. Thank you and keep up the awesome videos!!
Aye man. I’m glad I could help you. Means a lot to know I’m impacting folks like that. Congrats on swearing in and good luck on the rest of your process. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
You in high school
Thanks Jody! I'm not in Air Force & have no intentions in joining, but your videos are informative.
I’m glad I can help man. I made this one for anybody. This doesn’t matter if you’re military interested or not. These tips can help anyone grow. Thanks for watching and supporting. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
You're like a mix of a comedian and a military encyclopedia! I was surprised to see you only have 63k subscribers. I'm pretty sure hitting 1 million isn't far away for you. Keep up the good work🫡
Thank you. I hope you’re right about 1 mil. lol. That would be dope.
I’ve been in the Air Force for 8 years now and your tips are right on the money. In the past year, I have learned these tips on my own and I wish I understood them before. I guess that’s part of my growth and I’m thankful for this video because as I was watching it, it gave me time to reflect on my career as far as when I learned each step and which ones I am still working on right now. I must say, Tip #1 needs to be at every work center. I wish I learned this when I was an airman and as a young NCO. Tip#7, Watch your Mouth, is something I am learning to express in better ways. I just know that I fluff people’s feathers when I speak up for my airmen. Thank you for a great video. Keep it going!
Thank you for the transparency. Man it took me about 12 years to really learn this stuff, so I take my hat off to you for learning this at 8 years. One more tip I learned, if you don’t want to ruffle peoples feathers, the best thing I’ve noticed is if you first massage their ego, you can get people to listen and buy in to you.
@@Jodywithawhy That is a great tip! Thank you! I will keep that in mind and keep working on it! Coincidentally, I am reading this book called, "How to win friends, and influence People" by Dale Carnegie and that tip is on there! And thank you for the complement but I have most definitely been lucky with having the wrong people around me and learning from them then having the right people around me to support me. I will definitely share your channel with all of my airmen. You just can't share these types of lessons enough.
🙌🏽. You’re a sharp leader I can tell. Your airmen are lucky to have you. Thanks for the support as well. 🤙🏽
Tip 2 !!!!!✊🙌🙌✍️
And that applies in every area of life!!!! Jody you think you can make a video on how long it’ll take you to ship out from the moment you have your first meet with your recruiter??? Thanks! 🙏
Yea number 2 took me years to figure out. I honestly used to think in order to be successful, someone who was already successful needed to help me. It wasn’t until I took my responsibility for my lack of success, that I actually started to find success. 🥴
As far as the process, I can make a video. But for you right now, it really case by case. It depends on qualifications, date of availability and job preference list. Depending on these, it can be anywhere from 1-12 months, but on average 3-6 months.
Tip 3 is DEEP‼️‼️‼️‼️
Took me awhile to figure that one out. 🤙🏽
I made E5 in less than 4 years. My Air Force experience was great. I would do it again if I had the chance.
Hey Jody I recently stopped my enlistment process into the Air Force and a couple days went by and I have since regretted dropping the process. I called my recruiter back and he wasn’t mad at all and welcomed me back with open arms. I’m headed to MEPS next week
This is actually normal. That second guessing phase is real, but I’m glad you were able to work it out. Good luck at meps and with the rest of your process. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
The edits be so good
Great video. Very informative!
Thank you for watching and supporting. 🙌🏽
Good solid advice. Good job.
Thanks Ron. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks JODY woke up saw a notification and clicked straight to the video❤️
Thank you so much for the support. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I just joined the Dep program yesterday. I will definitely be following your videos for advice
Ayeee. Congratulations. Good luck throughout the process. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hey Jody really appreciate the great video, I'm planning on going to BMT some time April and these advices are gems man and I really feel you are a great inspiration and what we people need. Keep it up!
No problem at all. I’m glad I could help, and good luck on your journey. I appreciate your support. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Solid information for anyone wanting to join or someone that has been in for a few years. 👏
Thank you kindly. 🤙🏽
Thanks, Jody! your videos are so helpful. and definitely set me up for success. I just passed my ASVAB and now waiting for a call for a medical and physical exam. I can't wait to join.
Aye. I’m glad I could help. Congrats and good luck. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I have been in for 14 years and im still trying to learn this. Thank you jodywithawhy. I use your videos to get better at my job as well as provide any applicants a place for information
That’s what’s up man. Thanks for the support. I’d be lying if I said I’m perfect at all the things in video. It’s definitely a daily struggle to get better at them, but as long as we’re trying that’s the most important part. 🤙🏽
I love watching your videos Jody! Thank you for all of the informational videos! I’m currently going through the enlistment process for the Air Force!
Ayeee. Congrats and good luck through your process. Also, thanks for the support. I hope everything works out for you. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Thank you sir!
Great advice! This is good advice is for any career!
Thank you. Yea these are definitely my tips for life. Hopefully they can reach the youth to avoid a lot of my mistakes. 🤙🏽
I read in a book years ago something that stuck. A good book will always refer you to another good book. Thank you for sharing these reads. Bless!
It’s like a rabbit hole once you find a good book. You just keep finding more. 🤙🏽
Commenting to support your channel. - 10 year Guardsman but my daughter in the process of joining active duty (I sent her links to your videos for reference)
That’s awesome. I’m glad I can help. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Big facts
Jody!! Great video once again! Stuck in Lackland awaiting orders (2 week grad hold over). Embracing the suck!! 😅
You already did the hard part. Hopefully they don’t have you doing too many details.
Thanks for the your tips
I been watch videos it help a lot
Because I’m trying to join I know I’m kinda old to join like in age 30 but soon as I get the American GED I’m going to join Air Force and I learn a lot your videos
Thanks !!!
I’m glad I could help. 30 is not old. You’re still young. 🙌🏽🙌🏽. Good luck on the process. 🙌🏽
Thanks for the tips. Tip #8 is something I already do I love to smile. My recruiter showed me one of your videos when I went through MEPS I was like “oh I already watch him lol” I think he said you trained him if I’m not mistaken.
Keep smiling. ☺️. That’s secretly my biggest tip in life. Thanks for the support.
Who’s your recruiter??
@@Jodywithawhy I am 😊 and TSgt Derek Gauldin
So he wasn’t mine, but I helped his instructor out a couple times. His instructor was TSgt Houlden. But he’s good people. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Good video...
Spot on; worked hard to make MSgt so I would have a voice.
The “flipping the table clip” took me out 🤣🤣🤣
Can you do a video on tution assistance and GI bill things like that and how they would apply to your spouse
I can. Just gotta give me some time. 🤙🏽
You should do one with air national guard and bring someone you know
I love you man I relate to you so much I would be very interested in having a conversation with you. I am currently in the process of going the Air Force. I will leave another comment when I have graduated at the top of my class!!
I love the ambition. Can’t wait to hear you successes when you join. My email is jodywithawhy21@gmail. You can hit me up there
What you say makes sense. You are in control of you! You are now a man, not a baby.
Can't even lie...he's not wrong...lol! Great vid man...
I appreciate that. Hopefully some young airman can apply these while they’re still young, instead of learning late like myself.
@@Jodywithawhy definitely...been trying to instill this in many of my airmen throughout the years...makes life a lot easier!
Number #7 is something I gotta work on and I will admit I have very undisciplined tongue 👅 and it got me into trouble.
Also currently in DEP
The tongue can be a tool or a weapon depending on how you use it. Use your mistake as a lesson, and you should be fine. Good luck on your journey and congrats making it into the DEP. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy The most common complement i receive from my co-workers and friends is that I don't complain and I do pay attention to details, but my biggest flaw is of course my tounge 👅 which in most of my job experiences thats what let me to get a write up or in trouble other than that I can definitely do this!
where did you get that shirt?!?! lmao
I create them. Lol. I sell them in my merchandise tab under the video. 🤙🏽
Hey Jody, as a teenager growing up I have many thoughts on possibly joining the Air Force. I have done quite a bit of research on the Air Force and one question have is does GPA actually matter when trying to join?
It only matters when you have a history of adhd, or you’re trying to become an officer.
Hey Jody! Could you please explain to me how ranking in air force reserve works? I’m planning on signing 6 years
You will begin at the rank of E-2 Airman if you meet any of the following criteria: - have a Junior ROTC 2 year certification of completion - completed 2 or more years of college ROTC and possesses a letter of recommendation from the professor of aerospace science at the ROTC unit attended - completed 20 semester or 30 quarter hours of qualifying college credits - achieved the Eagle Scout or Gold Award from the Boy or Girl Scouts.
You will begin at the rank of E-3 Airman First Class if you meet any of the following criteria: - have a JROTC 3 year certification of completion - completed 45 semester or 67 quarter hours of qualifying college credits - achieved the Civil Air Patrol Billy Mitchell, Emilia Earhart or Carl Spaatz Award.
If you have not met any of the prior criteria, you will begin as an E-1 Airman Basic.
Protect your chickens, and when they pop their eggs out don't put them all into one basket.
Mannnn. That’s too real. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hello!
Do you know approximately how long it would take for a recruiter to get back to you after answering the pre-qualification questionnaire? I contracted a I recruiter but I haven’t gotten answer back and I have a bit of a unusual case so maybe he’s not interested.
Hmm, it shouldn’t be too long after. Some recruiters are more busy than others, so sometimes to response varies. But they shouldn’t be too long, even if you were disqualified they should still let you know.
Hello Jody, thank you for all the advice you give us I really appreciate it man, I would like to recommend a book that has really helped me a lot . Maybe you have read it before it's "The secret" by Rhonda Byrne, excellent book!!!
Definitely read it before. Great book and was the start of my quest to becoming my best version. That and the Alchemist are great
@@Jodywithawhy Thank you. I'll try the Alchemist
Hey Jody, my first day of BMT is Feb 1st. I'm going in as an Intelligence Analyst, do you know if this translates to a good job in the civilian world, and what exactly would I be doing? I've tried doing my own research but everything i've read so far seems very vague
Yes Intel jobs translate well into the civilian world. A lot of jobs are starting over &100K. As far as what you’ll be doing, a lot of Intel is top secret, so the job specifics are hard to find.
Hey, I want to go Security Forces, and then get into federal law enforcement. Is this possible?
It’s definitely possible, just not guaranteed. It helps a lot having the experience, but security forces doesn’t guarantee anything in law enforcement. It increases your chances by a lot though. I hope this helps.
I'm joing
Thank you for all the inspiration
Hey I’m 20 years old and I wanna go in the Air Force but I don’t know what career I wanna take up and I was thinking about doing hvac
This video should help. th-cam.com/video/KTnso5e3NII/w-d-xo.html
So I got a 50 on the asvab, with line scores M46, A50, G51, E58. Do you think if I decide to no longer join the army, can I join as a 4R0X1 Diagnostic imaging? I did bio and stuff in school but it doesn't show on my transcript.
That’s a tough job to get in the Air Force if that’s what you meant. Even with the all the prerequisites, it’s just a hard job to get. As far as the Army goes, I can’t speak for them or their job process.
E-4 + Bittier = The E-4 Mafia “this life chose me!”
Lol. Chill. 😂😂
I was diagnosed with asthma when I was 5 I just tested for it again and it was negative so I no longer have it. Am I good to join the Air Force?
It will depend on the records and what our doctors think. Gather your records and contact a recruiter. That’s the only way to know.
Hey Jody! I’m in the beginning stages of joining the Air Force Reserves. I was told by my recruiter. I could retake my ASVAB to boost my score after a few years being in the reserves. Is this true?
It is. You can retake the asvab after you’re in to qualify for jobs that require higher scores.
@@Jodywithawhy Thank You!
Am allowed to try to pursue some type of hobby? I really want to try stand up! Will I get in trouble for doing that?
Not at all. I do a lot in my spare time. I even thought about stand up, but I’m intimidated as hell from it. Lol. You’ll be fine once you settle down into your job, and finish all your training.
@@Jodywithawhy sweet! I’m still doing my CDCs and I would really like to take up a hobby like that as soon as I am done with them! I would like to try to build a little following off of it! You should give it a try someday!
Where’s your shaving waiver
What's the best thing you ever did, for a dog?
Huh?? Like literally??
Jody!!!! I’m crinnnneeeeee
I’m definitely will check out those books. Thanks for sharing!
Man, I genuinely, GENUINELY think you're a good, smart person... Please dont ruin it, or your own brain, by recommending or even reading that "10x Book" 🤣🤣... What's next, Scientology?
It’s a good book man. I contribute a lot of my success to that book. I didn’t even know it was considered a bad book.
@@Jodywithawhy hahaha No worries, I'm not being that serious at the end of day. Anyone should be allowed to read and do whatever they want...And like the Bible, it can be used as guide, and Not "Must Do's"... But its NOT the book, its the person, Grant Cardone. He is a very controversial Scientologist and there are many videos that talk about his shady dealings. So yeah in a way, buying the book indirectly supports Him and Scientology.
Also, I am currently in the recruiting process here in Puerto Rico✌️🇵🇷, and have been using your channel for helpful tips and info, and even the "Back and Forth Show" on the Air Force Channel. Already crushed the ASVAB, TAPAS and Cyber, and now have my MEPS Physical appointment for Wednesday next week 💪... And despite my name, I HAVE NEVER used drugs 🤣😉
Ayeee. Congrats my guy. Glad I’ve been able to help you, and appreciate the support. Good luck on the rest of the process. 🤙🏽
@@Jodywithawhy Thank You very much! "Sir" 🫡 haha... Keep up the great content and work 💪👍
