Don't know if they still do this, but when you're in an active combat environment, you're tax exempt for the duration of that operation. During Desert Storm, our salary was not taxed for about 2-3 months from the start of the operation all the way up to the cease fire.
They pay far less taxes than their civilian counterparts though. And they pay no taxes when stationed or deployed overseas! Something to keep in mind. Also, I’ve yet to meet anyone that did more than seven or eight years that got out without any form of minor or severe injuries they can claim a VA disability rating for.
Being a submariner was great because we got sea pay, sub pay, and as an E5 w BAH and roommate, we pocketed so much money. And whenever we went underway, you just were out to sea for X amount of time with the only money being spent were your bills on autopay.

My base pay in 1981 was $426 per month. When I was in Oki in 1986 I think it was 130 yen per dollar. For context, it was 500 yen per dollar in the early 1970s. Things were definitely expensive in Okinawa compared to the US in 1986.

After you’re done with your first contract then that’s when you can finally start thinking bout making good money in the military. As an E2 myself I make nothing. 🥺😂
As a former E5 in the army I can say that the base pay isn’t all that great. But, if you’re a highly skilled soldier in a high op-tempo MOS, 18 series in particular, that number can be quite a bit higher. If your job pays a big bonus, that adds to your potential earnings too. I was a Medic and Practical Nurse during my time in. My last few years my pay averaged about 50k year, but I re-enlisted 3 separate times. Each tie I got a re-enlistment bonus. One fir 15k, one for 10k, and a third for $7,500. When I was stateside I also had time off to work as an LVN in civil sector too, and usually made around $24-28 hr doing that on the side.
You make good money. I made shit as a medic in the AF but you have more time in then me. I don't think people join the service for money, at least I didn't. Mine was experience and service. Blessing up Sgt

People don't join the Marines for the money. They join for many reasons. For me, it was the pride of being the 1% of American Citizens that are fit for the job. If you want money, join literally any other branch.
Love the videos brotha , I saw your video about the Japanese grocery store and would like to see what you eat and cook . So many choices honestly. Would love to see a cooking video .
Any young service members should learn from this, but also understand that most families have a different tax bracket, jobs take out more for medical and insurance and retirement, so while me and my wife together may make 150,000$ a year we may clear about the same amount. But that would include putting extra into retirement, Ive put in extra so i could retire 10 years early while making more $ staying home than going into work. I explained this to my son that went into the marines how to take advantage of free housing and utilities and food and atart the 401 besides the Millitary retirement. DId he listen, he bought the expensive car with high insurance. Complining he has no money, gets out of the service and gets a minimum wage job and complains of his struggle being broke. I got out of the millitary because of very long hours working every day, i realized that other soldiers sometimes dont work the same shifts and get weekends off and 4 day weekends, i loved the service but made the decision that if im working 16 hour days, to get paid for every hour, never realiized that after 8 hours you get overtime. Bonus to work longer hours.
that works out to be about 38 dollars an hour on a 40 hour week . and i know from experience that its more than 40 hours a week. still not bad . a hell of a lot better than i got

Great video Devil Dog. Non rates don’t understand that if they just suck it up for a few more years they can have a very comfortable life. If they get married to someone with a good career and make it to staff NCO there are very few civilian jobs that can compare. They don’t understand how BAS can help with a mortgage payment especially combining it with a VA loan and how selling a home after your time at that duty station can help pay for your next home and so on. if this would’ve been explained to me as Lance Corporal I would’ve had no issue with a re-up. Many non rates just see that scrap pay check and want to keep partying and don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. As an E6 in Lejeune or Pendleton and a spouse with e decent career you can live better than a civilian with way more job security.

I'm not sure I heard anything about the TSP. You should be talking about that, and every Marine (over 2 years time in service) that is in the new blended retirement system should be making at least a 5% TSP contribution to get the full 5% match from the government.
That's cool that the USMC still pays you extra money for knowing a foreign language, in the Army is no longer the case, but we do get promotion points for it, which helps a lot for getting promoted to Sergeant or Staff Sergeant, which is based on meeting a cutoff score, just like the USMC does it for the ranks of Corporal and Sergeant.
You get the language incentive if you are in a position that requires the skill. The same with parachute duty or scuba pay. Even if you have the qualifications you still have to be assigned to a role where the benefit is authorized.

You choose with your recruiter, but the mos selection process is complicated. Make sure if you are to join, your contract guarantees your mos being open to you after mct. If that is guaranteed your job is yours
@@slinkychungus2044 yep, and the higher your Asvab score the better chanyou have to get a guaranteed MOS in your contract. Back in the day for me they gave 3 choices. In the end one of those three the benefited the Marines most would be the one you got.
you choose a field and the marines gives you one within the field. For example you can choose aircrew and get one of the multiple jobs within that, i think it includes mechanic and some other ones idk. Or if you choose construction as your field then they give you any random job within construction that they need at the time. I think there are like 20-30 fields to choose between
How muddy do the waters get trying to become Motor T in the marines? I watched your video that you mentioned the marines will you put you where needed. That's the MOS im after. (I'm 21 btw)
The marines promise nothing, however you will take a general aptitude test in boot camp. Based on that test, and the needs of the Marine Corps at that time, you may be assigned to motor transport but it’s not something you can, or would even dream of requesting once you’re enlisted. The Army may give you a contract for motor transport but not the Marines. And by the way, every marines primary MOS is Rifleman. If needed, you can be yanked right out of your secondary MOS in time of need. I saw this happen to thousands in Vietnam.

For example you can choose aircrew and get one of the multiple jobs within that, i think it includes mechanic and some other ones idk. Or if you choose construction as your field then they give you any random job within construction that they need at the time. I think there are like 20-30 fields to choose between
That's not that bad.
Not enough
So if you’d work 40 hour weeks with that pay of $5911.69/month after tax you’d be making $36.94/hour which isn’t bad at all
Except you're not getting paid hourly or you would make A LOT more it's salary. Which means you can work for 18 hours and still get paid the same.
Normal working hours in the Marine Corps are whenever Gunny says you can go home!
I have a rank higher than the president
The fuck
Lmao
How muddy do the waters get trying to become Motor T in the marines? I watched your video that you mentioned the marines will you put you where needed. That's the MOS im after. (I'm 21 btw)
The marines promise nothing, however you will take a general aptitude test in boot camp. Based on that test, and the needs of the Marine Corps at that time, you may be assigned to motor transport but it’s not something you can, or would even dream of requesting once you’re enlisted. The Army may give you a contract for motor transport but not the Marines. And by the way, every marines primary MOS is Rifleman. If needed, you can be yanked right out of your secondary MOS in time of need. I saw this happen to thousands in Vietnam.
You can contract motor T lol just ask your recruiter
@@billballeza377 This is salary pay. Call of duty 21/7. Pre Tax salary $3094.50= $13.81Hr calculated on 224hr per month, for a single 0 dependent Sargent in the states. Not a hourly wage and over time, a big difference. In a civilian world Pre Tax $3094.50=$25.78 per hr pay calculated on 160hrs per month.
