Approach Military Entry With a Plan
There’s more to joining the military than meeting the requirements. The decisions you make along the way can shape the work you do, the opportunities you can pursue, and how military service fits your long-term goals.
The Military Recruit Success Formula is a self-paced online course in development for aspiring U.S. military recruits considering enlisted or officer paths. It combines practical guidance, lessons from my Army experience, and a course workbook to help you research your options, prepare informed questions, and build a plan around your goals.
Four Modules to Guide Your Preparation
Module 1: Military Fundamentals and Mindset
Consider your reasons for joining, examine common expectations about military life, and understand what service involves.
Module 2: Building Your Battle Plan
Compare enlisted and officer paths, explore branches and service components, and research career fields before meeting with a recruiter.
Module 3: Executing Your Battle Plan
Prepare for recruiter conversations and the entry steps relevant to your path, including testing, medical screening, and reviewing contracts or service obligations.
Module 4: Thriving in Your Military Career
Prepare for initial training, adjusting to military life, and navigating your first duty station.
Put What You Learn Into Practice
The planned course includes video lessons, a PDF workbook to help you develop your own battle plan, lifetime access and course updates, and the Recruit Ready Regiment community for course participants.
Your options will depend on your qualifications, availability, and service requirements. The course is designed to help you understand those options and make informed decisions as you move through the process.
