Good for you bro, I did 8 years and 4 months as a Machinist’s Mate(a rough job) and at the end I was not enjoying what I was doing anymore. While at my second command while underway I just had an eye opening thought that I was not happy leaving my kids and wife sweating 😓 my ass off everyday down in the hole. It was time to go, I had a good amount of savings and my wife was working as a Medical Assistant. Although it took me about a year to find a job because of the recession of ‘09 when I got out. I’m happy to say everything worked out for me and mines years later, now I work at a hospital steam plant making top dollar and I get to come home everyday. All in all everyone has different reasons to stay in or get out, congrats on continuing to serve. I salute you! 👏🏼👏🏼
I’m glad that you love helping people and that you really made an effort to think about whether you wanted to stay or leave and not let it get to you in a harsh way. Either way, I’m always here for you man. We are always here for you brother. HOOAH!
I just found your channel (as you may see from my previous comments) you are truly inspiring me to join the navy. great channel bro. :) thanks for being an inspiration
I'm glad to hear you make a good choice for you. US Army retired, loved Moving to a new location out country every 3 years and more important I really loved what I did. I wish we had TSP back in the day.
Certainly not shitting on anyone that's getting out or has gotten out, but yeah bro, I have 0 idea how people can't see the forest for the trees while on active duty. My story is pretty much the exact same as yours, just about 3-4 behind, just sewed on E-5. I have several friends that ended up getting out a few years back and each and every one of them has had to either move back in with family, and/or take a huge cut in QoL and pay. The thing I'm telling my troops as a new E-5, every time I hear them say "oh man, I can't WAIT to get out, fuck shaving, fuck PT, fuck this, fuck that" is that you need to take a step back and think logically about what you're worth is on the outside, and what you're giving up by getting out. My wake up call was just prior to when I decided to stay in, I calculated my new healthcare premium as I was planning on going back to school, or getting an entry level Imagery analyst position with pretty lackluster benefits. With a family of 4, my healthcare premium a month to achieve the same level of care to the point that if my wife's leg falls asleep and she feels like going in for an x-ray, she can for free, would run me anywhere from 1600- to like 2200 bucks! That shook me like crazy, and then there's the possibility of traveling to cool new places I'd be giving up, the community that exists within the military, the retirement that's going to come up quicker than people think, the BAH, and tbh I the fact that people actually give a shit about you in the military compared to civi life (at least from what my father who did 21 and retired as an 0-5 tells me). If you have a job on the outside in the bag that makes an obscene amount more than you do in the military, AND it's pretty stable then yeah I'd say go for it and give up all the benefits, because it may end up breaking even in the end or doing a bit better, but for 99% of people the enlisted military is one of the best kept secrets in the entire world.
Been thinking about joining and I’ve heard nothing but bad stuff. Veterans saying they wouldn’t want their kids to join and would be enlistees giving their reasons why they aren’t joining. Your comment was a fresh breath of air.
Realistically if you ever want to have a wife and a family you are going to have to take that pension at 20 years and then continue working some type of job.
Those who join after this year, will have to serve 25 years before being able to retire at half pay. They can still retire at 20 years with 40% of their average pay for last three years. Have there been any studies, as to how this will affect retention? Will this make a military career less attractive?
I don't regret getting out. I deployed 4 times in my first 4 years so that's why I got out. The next ship I would have gone to had just left for deployment too so I took it as a sign to get out. Have a solid plan when getting out. I work with a lot of retired military. They are not actually retired so have a plan when you retire as well.
@@stephandalton2390 You deployed 4 times in 4 years? I was on track for it to continue that way. My LPO was gettingnout after 20 years with 3 deployments. If you think thats fun than you are a major weirdo. Made lifetime friends but best years of my life... no way i love my wife and little girl way more than deploying. Big suprise right
Hey nicky whats good bro. I finally passed my asvab second time around. I go back to meps next wk to finish my processing an pick my rate. Thinking of going MA side of things. Do they get to deploy equally as everybody else? Or does that rely on uncle sam? But cant wait to swear in an get my journey started
JTsuits Didn’t you do wear the Navy uniform for clickbait for your videos, “I went to go see the Marines”, “I’m back in the Navy” and you’re most recent one as well? Lmaoo
Are there any benefits long after a contract has been finished and the reserve time is over? I only plan on only going in for a 4 year contract. If there's a few veteran perks, you should do a whole video on it.
post 9/11 GI bill, VA home loan, disability if you are inured during service, foot in the door on government jobs, different clearance could help you land a job, and resume boost is pretty much the main things.
Hey Nicky first time listener. First thanks for your service. I have a couple of questions I need answered. First I know your rate is corpsman but did you go into a specific field such special operations, or pharmacist. Second congrats on your degree. Second question I have is after you do your 20+ years are you going to do a civilian job related to your navy job. And third what degree did you get and is it related to your navy job? O can you do a video on Damage Controlmen (DC)? Thanks.
I did pharmacy tech, now i'm an independent duty corpsman, then I will try to commission as a PA or a healthcare admin officer because I already have my degree in that. After 20 years i'll have to see the job market to be honest. I dont know enough about DC to talk about it and be informative to be honest.
NICKY MGTV thanks Nicky for the info. I know I have more questions I'll tune in on Friday. If you'll be able to answer without getting flooded with questions
Highly recommend it man. I've seen them 3 times and they keep getting better. Some day the stars and planets will align and you'll see them. It's well worth the wait though.
When you stay in for 20 years, you're going to eventually become the boss that many of the young enlisted people are going to hate...it's the circle of military life. But your reasoning for staying in are sound...just start racking up as much of that TSP money as you can and your retirement in your early 40s will be golden.
NICKY MGTV Being a people person helps, but when you need to enforce regulations that young enlisteds' believe are 'dumb, ridiculous or outdated;' or become the buffer between upper-level management & your troops, it is quite a challenge. You will, however, gain some respect for what some of your supervisors went through once you walk a mile in their combat boots.
AS A FUTURE CORPSMAN I WILL MAKE IT MY LIFES MISSION TO MEET YOU ONCE I GET IN CHIEF NICKYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEAHHH but nah honestly thank you for everything you have done thank you for your service thank you for inspiring me to join the navy as a corpsman thank you for taking time out of your day to make these videos I really appreciate your work man !
Do not get out! Husband did 5 years and has now been out 1 year and TOTALLY REGRETS IT!!!! The grass is not greener on the civilian side!!!! He’s trying to get back in right now!
nicky, hey I've been looking for several methods to get into the naval and none of them appear Can you tell me which page, place or contact can I enter the naval?
I know it’s random... why do some divisions wear white and some divisions wear navy dress uniform at RTC graduation? in DEP and my family wants to know what I’ll wear at graduation not sure why lol
I got an asvab also. I never studied for it, I didn’t even know what it was when I took it. But most of it seemed like common sense. But from what the recruiters told me, you qualify for any branch and majority of careers . Good luck
After 15 years due to service related Injury I was out getting 20%. With my current employment and something happens I get 100% disability 1st year then 80% for next 10 years and 70% for the rest of my life. Medical, Dental, and Vision covered via VA. Take everything into consideration like cost of living and taxes in other places than CA. Fair Winds and following seas shipmate.
Take It slowly buddy... It Sounds fun, but you should always make sure you REALLY want to stay. Don't commit your life like that until you've at least gotten a taste... 5 of the 4 year contracts should work for you. That way you always have that choice every 4 years, if you still want to do it...
I got a question. I'm in the navy too, ET3, san diego. I've thought about staying in for 20 but I'm scared it's going to ruin my relationship with my girlfriend and if I have kids, I fear for being away from them. How do you plan on dealing with being away from you're family on/off again for the next 11 years?
Brandon Buffa honestly it's all about sacrifice. Something you and your girlfriend will have to kind of agree on too. It's for the greater good it's part of the package of what you bring to the table. Reality is if you get out what are the chances you won't have to work those extended hours to make the cut for all the bills etc. many of my friends found themselves working the same about while getting out to keep up so that's something to consider as well.
I know you posted this 2 yrs. ago, but I knew 5 mins. after swearing in that the Navy was not a great career choice for me. Every day for the next 4 yrs. I hated it. A month before my discharge my Div. officer had a ship over chat.with me. I could not believe it. I told him you wouldn't be sh*tin' me? I could not get away fast enough. Never regretted my decision.
Michael Nicholson thanks. Some guy said he was in the Navy and said they always wore sailors uniform and rarely used NWUs. Little did we know the guy was a fake.
You neglect to tell us [ assuming it's not an issue ] what school you're currently attending. From a former HM a word of advice. Don't change who you are as a person in order to attain that E-7 level. It's a rite of passage and all that, and as I'm sure you know it comes with a lot of pressure to conform to the " program ". I've worked with a number of HMCs and many were total dicks, mostly because they had been shit on by those who came before them and now they wanted their turn. Congrats on your decision, best of luck in the future.
most of the people around me have made it sound so impossible and almost stupid to try going green side as a female. I don't understand why my gender matters when I just want to help people. Thank you!

most of the people around me have made it sound so impossible and almost stupid to try going green side as a female. I don't understand why my gender matters when I just want to help people. Thank you!
I'd probably stay in too if I was a medic and not doing jobs that absolutely suck balls. So you don't know the suck ahaha
Well first, i'm a corpsman. Second, you're probably right lol.
20 years in the army would be better

Don't sell yourself short. You can always make more money.

If you want to make more money, you should consider working in the private sector.
