My favorite part about going in the military was getting out. But in all seriousness it’s an absolute life changer and for me it was mostly in the best ways. I’d go back if I could. I deployed in 2017 to the same area my uncle did back in 2008 both as machine gunners too funny enough. it’s a small world but so much comes from it, stories, memories and arguably the people who become your brothers and sisters. That’s a blessing you won’t find anywhere else truly.
@@greatest_ever4482 absolutely not. Everyone experiences different things. I happened to show up to 4/25 (now 11 ABN division) and it was in the middle of being shut down because of funding issues but going from trying to pack a base up to then deploying a year later and unpacking was not what I expected. Lol
@@samj306 yes. The real answer to it is, everyone who signs up, has what’s called an obligation. So say you do 4 years and wanna get out, as long as you reenlist within the next 4 years before your 8 year obligation is up, you can go right back in without retraining or anything more than likely. I got out in 2019, my 8 years were up this September so if I re-enlisted now, I’d have to retake everything I ever did like the first time.
For the Tuition portion, I will finish 10 years active duty with my master's degree. My GI bill is fully saved for my kids. If you do more than one enlistment in the Air Force you can transfer your GI bill to dependents. IE, have 2 kids, give them each 2yrs of a 4yr GI bill. Community college for the first two years...super easy to cover it.
@@sturmbreakers7817 in Texas which where I enlisted out of we got the hazzlewood act meaning of you blow through your GI bill the state will step in and pay for any state funded school.
@@sturmbreakers7817some community colleges transfer over to 4 year colleges. The community college I went to actually had 4 year programs. I did two years tuition assistance while in the military, then used my GI bill the last two years for my B.S. I got my BS from there then transferred to a university for my MBA. Another word of advice, unless it’s Ivey league most jobs don’t care where your degree came from. Home loan I recommend buying a home, stay in it one year, refinance and rent it out, then you buy another home using your GI bill again, rinse and repeat. Last recommendation, use your GI Bill to educate yourself, build up your income to the point where you can pay for your kids college.
I really wish videos like this were around when I was 18 and thinking about joining. I’m 21 and your videos got me thinking about going in for real this time. Definitely love your honesty and straightforward approach rather than being vague like a lot of videos I saw back when I wanted to join.
I spent 25 years serving. Nothing is free. As a service member, you are forgoing your youth, health, and possibly your life. You have or will "earn" every benefit for faithfully serving your country.

However, buddies of mine who were commo or intel(just a name a couple) got out making six figures. The benefits alone are worth it. Also bought my first house with my V.A. home loan damn near best part of the whole thing.
I’m 27 and still on the line about joining 🫤 any words of advice ? Would like to earn a degree while on active duty since tuition is payed for through the GI bill. And also the VA home loan is what sold me aswell, I’ve been renting since I got out of Highschool sadly
@@ambitiousproductions3224 Do it! I knew people who enlisted even in their 30's! That being said, the younger you are the easier it will be physically. However, "soft skill" jobs(MOS) usually don't go crazy with PT like the combat units have to. If you like to travel and want the best benefits I would recommend the Air Force or the Navy but if ship life isn't for you or you have a hard time getting into the Air Force or they don't have any positions you are interested in the Army is about 97-98% support jobs most of which transfer to the civilian sector but if you want to get into firefights and blow shit up the Army and Marines is the place for that too, obviously. Marines have overall better duty stations being on the coasts as well as Japan, Australia, ect. The Army has more posts stateside but they are in places like Kentucky, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, to name a few. Figure out what branch appeals to you the most and go talk to a recruiter. They will guide you the rest of the way.

Work less make more but it’s a whole other headache tax, dealing with customers … it ain’t like you work for your self at all you work for whoever is your customer at the time.

I vote they also add military should be allowed to skip all lines at any theme park no season pass required. If it’s not already a thing.
@@brandonlienhart122if you get your bachelors before you join, you will enter as an e-4 with a starting base pay of 2,503 as of 2023. There are alot of benefits as well if you ever do plan on getting out. Make sure you do the research because they dont teach alot of these things during service
I was waiting for a new video. I want to join the military (Army) and you have been helping me with everything that I need to learn for this. Along with making me feel more comfortable, by breaking down all the things we will be doing. I was wondering could you do a video on if it is better to go to the military before college or going to college then the military to just get it out the way so you would not have a lot to do?
It’s best to go to the military first in my opinion cuz even while serving you can still choose whether u can do college after or during while serving active/reserve because the army will be paying for your classes.
Alot of people hear Military and get scared but if you look at how the world is going today, its a very good and safe option. In Australia the reserves are great as they cover medical and dental and thats for part timers! I dont know what its like in America though for part timers! But I am so keen to enlist and get into all of it
I'm tempted because I heard that the military can take care of a down payment on a home and also interested in the benefits, but I'm still going to school and I'm 25. I think the military ages out after 28, so I'm contemplating every year.
Great video! I was wondering if all this free stuff, especially the no-credit card fee benefits, were available to both active and part-time military members. Thank you
@@PlayDeepballCBRunballupmiddleHe's saying if you're immature and don't know what to do in life and expecting someone else to take care of you: join the military The military will ideally fix that if you're willing to put effort in
I was at the recruitment office and apparently with the college thing, basic training/boot camp gives you college credits. The recruiter I talked to said he earned more than half of an associates degree off of basic training. I don’t know if you still respond here but did you get credits out of basic?
I’m waiting on meps to come back with me to see a consult, I’m in colorado and don’t know where I’ll be picking my deployment but if I ever do see you in the future hopefully you’ll still be in service and we can make some videos
hey I’m 23 years old and considering joining the air force for the benefits and getting my family ( sisters and parents, no plans on getting married ) out of a tough situation. I do want to get at least my associates one day. Can anyone let me know what to expect and if that’s a good reason to join? I don’t really know what else to do so this is why I’m considering the Air Force. If anyone could answer this I’d appreciate it.
@@moppy3937 Sadly yes. The Air Force has specific rules regarding tattoos. Visible tattoos on the head, neck, face, or hands are not allowed. Edit: You can try to get that laser removal thing that some people do for tattoos if you really want to enlist in the Air Force.
My dad told me: Military is the last option if your single and poor Not when you have an actual career that'll pay your rent and you have an education. I had recruiters try to convince me that since im in college they will get me all the benefits and that they cover it all and everything but its just to get me to help them get their own personal benefits they get for recruiting new soilders
That Amex can destroy some irresponsible soldiers. Pretty sure those things have ZERO limit to them as long as you pay them off. That is dangerous for young SM that are coming straight outta HS
"But, your injury was not service related. Yes, you may have been shot in the knee, but that was 3 minutes after you were supposed to return to the depot."

Great video Mr. Battley! I’m going to share it my son. We have a joined bank account and because he is military he doesn’t get charged fees and we get discounts on our Tmobile bill!
Ptsd, permanent brain damage, spinal compression, arthritis in my upper back + a nasty scoliosis, nerve damage in both arms, left shoulder is nearly useless, 2 floating ribs, and several broken bones.... I'm going to enlist again! FUCKING OORAH!!!
I ship out July 5, 11X , can’t wait, my recruiter also helped me out and told me I could finish my education which I really want to do , I would like to take business and economic classes , plus I get to sponsor my parents , win win , it was a no brainer to join army.
I joined army national guard in florida. 100% tuition for college and I can use my gi bill and I got the booster for good asvab score. Plus I only work for two days a month. Just throwing that out there
When I bought my first house, I didn't have lunch money in my pocket still got the house after working 6 months at my first city job best decision I ever made was joining the US army..,. yeah it sucks sometimes....deal with it
I'm in the military if anyone sees this in the military us I.Dme discount also free tickets for theme parks. For V.A home loan credit still has to be at least 640
You're the best TH-camr I've watched, your personality makes the videos the best !! I'm 17 and waiting to be 18 to join, for sure this year I'll be gone.
If you are lucky, you will get in some overseas deployments. Truly the best part of being in the Army. Garrison life is the worse. No one wears combat patches or have CABs or CIBs anymore.
Except the "free" food is not actually free when a single soldier (E4) living in the barracks gets a $400 meal deduction coming out of their paycheck every month. Instead you are being forced to pay for the DFAC whether you eat there or not. The DFAC food is terrible and I've been buying groceries so I am technically paying about $800/month for food. $400 for meal deduction and $400 for groceries monthly.
I'm the perfect candidate for active duty My life is miserable Nobody loves me My family is not important to me I have no friends Im unmarried No kids No pets No where to live No civilian job Defac is trash but ill eat the side dishes there I have food insecurity I have poor eyesight Im into bodyweight fitness
Choose a job that is similar to a civilian one so you can have the best work life balance possible so you can spend time with your family ( you will still be away but less frequently) Buy a house.
Doesn’t really seem like it’s worth it. I considered joining at a time in my life where I was lost and was being pressured by parents to find a career after highschool.
Not recommending the military, but so does working any blue collar job, at least you'll get paid for the rest of your life from the damage you get from the military.
im a female turning 25 next month. ive always wanted to join but never knew much about the military. i never had friends or family in the military until last year. ive been learning a bunch about the military watching your videos and watching basic training videos on youtube. im seriously debating on joining this year (army). this might be a stupid question but would my age be an issue? since i would be joining when im 25? i was thinking of a contract of 3-5 years
By the time you turn 25 you’re already considered to be older even though you may feel young in 5 years you might not feel so hot this is coming from someone who has been working hard for 11 years straight. The only reason I decided to join up is because I told myself at some point if I’m going to be working like a dog I might as well get something real out of it no more dead end jobs no more kissing a supervisor ass that can care less about me I actually want a real career and my schooling being paid for is just a plus for me that being said as long as you’re working out and stretching you should be fine run a few miles every other day as well thats what im doing and it made me feel alot better leaving for boot camp in 4 days
It’s kinda funny ngl your options you had on your polls none of them applied to me I’m joining and only joining because I hate myself I want to change and yes possibly could if Been a girl but who knows 🤷🏼♂️
I’m 17, jr in high school, and overweight. I want to do this SO BAD!!! If anybody has any suggestions for me to get into this PLEASE HELP! I have until next year to be fit enough to either do this or be in normal basic training
@@noahhuraan5353 i had good credit. but no money in the bank. i got a va homeloan and took out a cash loan for closing costs. did this on both my va homeloans
Hey man I'm doing the enlightening Test sometime this week actually and then if I hopefully pass I'm off to BCT and hopefully I'll only do a 3yr contract in mos 12w for my first term. I'm really banking on all the benefits that I can get as I'm just 18yrs old and that I can actually get a VA Home loan to buy a house in my home in New York Queens. So yeah idk if joining at 18 is the best life decision or not but I wanted to help myself and my mom and that's about it, so thanks for all the info as I Definitely need to save alot of money lol
Move out of NY, the place is a shithole and way too expensive. I don’t know if they allow 3 year contracts, I’m pretty sure 4 as active is the minimum. I wish you luck though, be chill with your battle buddies and you will be fine if ur in semi decent shape/have a strong mentality.
@stephenasmith273 thanks I definitely will and yeah they have 3yr contracts that allow me to get full benefits, and then I can do 5yrs part time while trying for a college degree in something hopefully, but thanks for the advice 😄
I’m 1 year into college and I’m wondering if it would’ve been better to go to the military. Not too happy with the school I’m attending just bc I can’t afford to go to a better school, I had to transfer from a big Uni to a priv small college
im reserved and my college is fully paid for plus my rent for the rest of schooling. I did one year of college and then joined and life is set bro. 50k student loan repayment, 750 a month GI bill(pocket money), 40% discounted tuition rates. drill is easy as fuck too dude im tellin you it’s a gold mine.
I still don’t get the tuition part, so you said every physical year I get 4k off a year Can it be more off instead of 4k? I want to go to my first choice college that is around 45k on 1.5 years
It’s not like you’re forced to join 🤡 You can’t have all the nice shit and benefits without putting in the work, it’s the military. also At least we do what we love, (even though we have awful days in the infantry) we don’t live miserable lives caught up in the rat race making a buck, going home sleep and repeat.
Most definitely. Just make sure you don’t have a lot of bills. Obviously if you have $2k in bills and if you make only 2k u won’t be able to save. So just make sure you cut out the unnecessary bills and be smart with money and you can save that without a doubt

I was wondering could you do a video on if it is better to go to the military before college or going to college then the military to just get it out the way so you would not have a lot to do?
What he said !
@@dex7251 What discord?
Have fun in basics, it’s definitely the best shittiest shit you’ll ever experience 😂
It’s best to go to the military first in my opinion cuz even while serving you can still choose whether u can do college after or during while serving active/reserve because the army will be paying for your classes.
Alot of people hear Military and get scared but if you look at how the world is going today, its a very good and safe option. In Australia the reserves are great as they cover medical and dental and thats for part timers! I dont know what its like in America though for part timers! But I am so keen to enlist and get into all of it
Still safe on the brink of ww3? I’m not dying for this country and execs at Lockheed to make $50k a year
I'm broke and thinking of joining military
This didn’t age well
I'm tempted because I heard that the military can take care of a down payment on a home and also interested in the benefits, but I'm still going to school and I'm 25. I think the military ages out after 28, so I'm contemplating every year.
I went through basic with 30 year olds and they did just fine !
@@AaronbTV ooooohhhhh Ty
I think It’s 35, not 28
The marines age out quick. But my husband just joined hes 33. (Army)
@@Clowncentral101 yessssir 17-35 yrs old
Great video! I was wondering if all this free stuff, especially the no-credit card fee benefits, were available to both active and part-time military members. Thank you
If you don't want to grow up and you want a second mom and dad to take care of you join the military
Wtf you taking abt
@@PlayDeepballCBRunballupmiddleHe's saying if you're immature and don't know what to do in life and expecting someone else to take care of you: join the military
The military will ideally fix that if you're willing to put effort in
Damn that’s crazy, it’s no wonder there’s a lot of call of duty games.
@@SCUMMY4205that’s me right now. Currently detoxing from weed and then I plan to enlist first thing
I already had to learn to provide for myself now I’m gonna join
I was at the recruitment office and apparently with the college thing, basic training/boot camp gives you college credits. The recruiter I talked to said he earned more than half of an associates degree off of basic training. I don’t know if you still respond here but did you get credits out of basic?
yes! you will get a JST!
I’m waiting on meps to come back with me to see a consult, I’m in colorado and don’t know where I’ll be picking my deployment but if I ever do see you in the future hopefully you’ll still be in service and we can make some videos
It’s only free until you have to return it all back. And I mean everything they gave you
I'm Taking the Asvab Military Test...😊😂🎉..see you guys...
How was it
hey I’m 23 years old and considering joining the air force for the benefits and getting my family ( sisters and parents, no plans on getting married ) out of a tough situation. I do want to get at least my associates one day. Can anyone let me know what to expect and if that’s a good reason to join? I don’t really know what else to do so this is why I’m considering the Air Force. If anyone could answer this I’d appreciate it.
it's worth it bro..
@@AIBINUKK I got a small hand tattoo of a sun on my hand will that disqualify me?
@@moppy3937 Sadly yes. The Air Force has specific rules regarding tattoos. Visible tattoos on the head, neck, face, or hands are not allowed.
Edit: You can try to get that laser removal thing that some people do for tattoos if you really want to enlist in the Air Force.
You should be in the advertising team for the Army
My dad told me: Military is the last option if your single and poor
Not when you have an actual career that'll pay your rent and you have an education. I had recruiters try to convince me that since im in college they will get me all the benefits and that they cover it all and everything but its just to get me to help them get their own personal benefits they get for recruiting new soilders
That Amex can destroy some irresponsible soldiers. Pretty sure those things have ZERO limit to them as long as you pay them off. That is dangerous for young SM that are coming straight outta HS
Thanks for another great video. You’re single-handedly showing me what I can do for my future if I were to join the military after I graduate college
Wanna be a officer?
@@levinichols5559 I'm in the process of getting my packet ready for the August boards.
@@amirmontgomery1155what was your gpa?
Security clearance is a huge benefit. Opens opportunities getting out as a contractor or GS civilian.
"But, your injury was not service related. Yes, you may have been shot in the knee, but that was 3 minutes after you were supposed to return to the depot."
You know the days gonna be good when Aaron finally posts a video!

And a swollen Vag
Rule number 2: never enlist if you're addicted to Nicotine w/o cold turkey for minimum of 4 weeks. ( learned that the hard way years ago 😂)
Yooooo, I watched you since junior year, and now I'm a senior and pass the asvab, and now I'm looking at the jobs I'm available for, and I need to do my physical soon.
You got this!
You had to get all your health and criminal records for your recruiter right?
Great video Mr. Battley! I’m going to share it my son. We have a joined bank account and because he is military he doesn’t get charged fees and we get discounts on our Tmobile bill!
Please do!
Yah ima just lost on how to use the tuition for those classes. Yah gotta figure out that eye surgery stuff.

I ship out July 5, 11X , can’t wait, my recruiter also helped me out and told me I could finish my education which I really want to do , I would like to take business and economic classes , plus I get to sponsor my parents , win win , it was a no brainer to join army.
I ship out June 25, 68W. 💪🏼⛑️

Wat do u mean by sponsor your parents?

I joined army national guard in florida. 100% tuition for college and I can use my gi bill and I got the booster for good asvab score. Plus I only work for two days a month. Just throwing that out there
Two days a month? Wtf

When I bought my first house, I didn't have lunch money in my pocket still got the house after working 6 months at my first city job best decision I ever made was joining the US army..,. yeah it sucks sometimes....deal with it
I'm in the military if anyone sees this in the military us I.Dme discount also free tickets for theme parks. For V.A home loan credit still has to be at least 640
Good to see this information thank you brother !
Hello bro I wanna join military army cuz I'm broke...how much money you get by joining right away, are there bonuses ???
@@Dragox-mh8fbdepends on you make on your asvab and the job you choose my little brother got a 40k bonus
You 400 a month for food you don’t eat for free stop lying to them

Good luck brother
I hope you like snow.
Hey I got a question, can I join the army if I have a hand tattoo? Is 1 inch big
You can get a waiver for it most likely
I’m really tempted to join the military I’m going to join the discord and hope to speak to people ab it
Great Video
Free college after 36 months, full G.I. coverage after 36 months, im on a 3 years 24 weeks contract and i’m garunteed G.I.
So I can go to college for free without using my G.I. Bill?
I would say its not free your earn all these things.
That ain’t free. Y’all earned every penny and I’m happy my taxes go to y’all instead of homeless meth addicts and illegals
You covered a lot of things 💯

Returned US Army special forces
Bro I just wanna do 3 years and get paid for the rest of my life get out and get a job making 35$ and hour and getting the military checks
If you are lucky, you will get in some overseas deployments. Truly the best part of being in the Army. Garrison life is the worse. No one wears combat patches or have CABs or CIBs anymore.
I have 145 days left in the IRR on my 8 year term. Should I re-enlist?
If you have to ask, the probably not.
Except the "free" food is not actually free when a single soldier (E4) living in the barracks gets a $400 meal deduction coming out of their paycheck every month. Instead you are being forced to pay for the DFAC whether you eat there or not. The DFAC food is terrible and I've been buying groceries so I am technically paying about $800/month for food. $400 for meal deduction and $400 for groceries monthly.
Good to see this information because it seemed like a college tuition where food is free ( technically )
its all lies. Dont fall for it
Are you in the service?
...@@Paidfullz
I'm the perfect candidate for active duty
My life is miserable
Nobody loves me
My family is not important to me
I have no friends
Im unmarried
No kids
No pets
No where to live
No civilian job
Defac is trash but ill eat the side dishes there
I have food insecurity
I have poor eyesight
Im into bodyweight fitness
Then i suggest not to join 😭😭😭😭
Joining the military is one thing nobody should bother doing. F that
What bank provides those credit cards, please? Im enlisting and wish to choose a military bank to go through for the next 20 years or so
I'm 43 years old married two children about to enlist anybody with any good advice....... other than don't do it
Choose a job that is similar to a civilian one so you can have the best work life balance possible so you can spend time with your family ( you will still be away but less frequently)
Buy a house.
@@AaronbTV yes I've been in carpentry my whole life I'm going for a 12w. which is a carpentry specialist
Doesn’t really seem like it’s worth it. I considered joining at a time in my life where I was lost and was being pressured by parents to find a career after highschool.
The military also provides, for free, crippling PTSD, destroyed joints, and an endless fight with the VA for benefits that are righty yours.
Not recommending the military, but so does working any blue collar job, at least you'll get paid for the rest of your life from the damage you get from the military.
@@AaronbTVRather work blue collar instead of dying for the ZOG LMFAOOO
Omg. What the He'll are you talking about. Free what?
How much money you get by joining army right away and how long it takes to get your first paycheck.....???
On point. As real as it gets.
If you already have a bachelor's degree, do the military still pay for your classes if u want to get another bachelors degree????
Just be an officer if you have a bachelors but yeah you can get another one and get your loans forgiven
What's your favorite benefit of joining the military?
I haven’t joined yet but I’m hoping to soon, I’m just not old enough yet, so glad you uploaded
Not having to worry about how I will pay the bills and support my family.
Stability is an amazing thing!
A consistent roof over my head. I’ve never had one, even as a child, and I can’t wait to ship out to BMT (Air Force) and finally have that.

@@jeremiahkingg4542 thanks bro
I’m 19 years old, and I’m thinking about joining the Air Force, but I’m not sure yet
Go for it bro don’t think about it to much just be mentally ready
I’m about to turn 19 and same
i swore in 2 days ago,, go for it
What you do in air force?
im a female turning 25 next month. ive always wanted to join but never knew much about the military. i never had friends or family in the military until last year. ive been learning a bunch about the military watching your videos and watching basic training videos on youtube. im seriously debating on joining this year (army). this might be a stupid question but would my age be an issue? since i would be joining when im 25? i was thinking of a contract of 3-5 years
By the time you turn 25 you’re already considered to be older even though you may feel young in 5 years you might not feel so hot this is coming from someone who has been working hard for 11 years straight. The only reason I decided to join up is because I told myself at some point if I’m going to be working like a dog I might as well get something real out of it no more dead end jobs no more kissing a supervisor ass that can care less about me I actually want a real career and my schooling being paid for is just a plus for me that being said as long as you’re working out and stretching you should be fine run a few miles every other day as well thats what im doing and it made me feel alot better leaving for boot camp in 4 days
Did u join the army???? How much you get by joining right away, and how long it takes to join after getting in contact with recruiter....
Nobody still not joining...don't waste your life
Sounds like you were wasting time in your grammar class.
Can you have multiple va home loans or only one?
1
VA disability comes in clutch 🥴
It’s kinda funny ngl your options you had on your polls none of them applied to me I’m joining and only joining because I hate myself I want to change and yes possibly could if Been a girl but who knows 🤷🏼♂️
How are they approving someone for a platinum card who is bringing home $1800 a month..? Lol
Wait I have bad credit are u saying that it helps build my credit or I have to have 700
That’s what I’m trying to figure out too
It's like a prison sentence but with some benefits.
So if I’m in the military how does it benefit like my mom and family? Or does it not help them
I wanna join cuz of cool uniform
I’m 17, jr in high school, and overweight. I want to do this SO BAD!!! If anybody has any suggestions for me to get into this PLEASE HELP! I have until next year to be fit enough to either do this or be in normal basic training
Just don't over eat and only drink water for the most part and do cardio 20 minutes 3x a week and u will ne fine...and just try not to consume sugar
but the VA homeloan thing you need to financially qualify
Yep, You need GOOD credit as well. Also expect someone who is putting money down on the same house to get it over you.
@@noahhuraan5353 i had good credit. but no money in the bank. i got a va homeloan and took out a cash loan for closing costs. did this on both my va homeloans
@@defective1331i thought the va loan covered closing costs
@@defective1331don’t u only get va home loan only for married couples ? Or can a single person get a va home loan
Hey man I'm doing the enlightening Test sometime this week actually and then if I hopefully pass I'm off to BCT and hopefully I'll only do a 3yr contract in mos 12w for my first term. I'm really banking on all the benefits that I can get as I'm just 18yrs old and that I can actually get a VA Home loan to buy a house in my home in New York Queens. So yeah idk if joining at 18 is the best life decision or not but I wanted to help myself and my mom and that's about it, so thanks for all the info as I Definitely need to save alot of money lol
Move out of NY, the place is a shithole and way too expensive. I don’t know if they allow 3 year contracts, I’m pretty sure 4 as active is the minimum. I wish you luck though, be chill with your battle buddies and you will be fine if ur in semi decent shape/have a strong mentality.
@stephenasmith273 thanks I definitely will and yeah they have 3yr contracts that allow me to get full benefits, and then I can do 5yrs part time while trying for a college degree in something hopefully, but thanks for the advice 😄
I’m 1 year into college and I’m wondering if it would’ve been better to go to the military. Not too happy with the school I’m attending just bc I can’t afford to go to a better school, I had to transfer from a big Uni to a priv small college
im reserved and my college is fully paid for plus my rent for the rest of schooling. I did one year of college and then joined and life is set bro. 50k student loan repayment, 750 a month GI bill(pocket money), 40% discounted tuition rates. drill is easy as fuck too dude im tellin you it’s a gold mine.
@@otis2241give more details...how much money I get right away by joining, are there bonuses
I still don’t get the tuition part, so you said every physical year I get 4k off a year Can it be more off instead of 4k? I want to go to my first choice college that is around 45k on 1.5 years
And you can get all of this in only 3-4 business decades
Great content G, can you make a video on the benefits of being related to or living with someone in the military? Thank you.
Wow !! And sucker me I joined for patriotism.
Awesome video man!
been watching you for over 3momths now.
And I appreciate your inside into your journey.
Muchas Gracias Carnal
All materialistic things with the very low price of YOUR LIFE! Same thing as joining the Illuminati to be a rapper or actor etc. 😂
It’s not like you’re forced to join 🤡 You can’t have all the nice shit and benefits without putting in the work, it’s the military. also At least we do what we love, (even though we have awful days in the infantry) we don’t live miserable lives caught up in the rat race making a buck, going home sleep and repeat.
@@BleedingEyes666I work in the oilfields and make over 100k a year. lol keep telling yourself that.
with a 2 year 6 month enlistment you think it’s possible to save 1k a month for 30 months
Most definitely. Just make sure you don’t have a lot of bills. Obviously if you have $2k in bills and if you make only 2k u won’t be able to save. So just make sure you cut out the unnecessary bills and be smart with money and you can save that without a doubt
