Oh....and if you're only doing 3 or 4 yrs and ETS out for the college money, make sure you deploy at least while youre....so you get to get that experience going downrange/ sandbox. Its a whooole different ballgame/ Separate bag than just being stateside in CONUS/ not even going overseas during your short time in enlistment. If you do 4 yrs and don't deploy, you might be missing out on all the fun/ skipping the best part. Years later you might regret it afterwards by NOT going when you get the chance.
God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, & believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today & repent!
Great video, I retired from the AF after 23 years. The military is great for young people to bid some time until they figure out what they want to do. Like he said you get paid training and experience while you're deciding what to do. Remember this, someone will always tell you what to do and when to do it. Even if you start your own business your customers will tell you what to do and when to do it. The military like all large operation has many rules and regulations that seem dumb, don't let that bother you stay focused on YOUR future.
If you want to join as an officer after college, many of the things he talked about still apply, but at the end of the day joining as an officer is a totally different ball game than enlisting. Use the military to help you pay for college and then enjoy your time as an officer.
@@tonyclayton585 you should probably finish out your college because if you join the military, especially on active duty, you would have less time to do so. I would imagine that unless you get a good job at a good unit, you would have even less time for yourself to even do online courses in the army especially because you would be going to the field for weeks at a time and even doing things like long formations and PT (not to mention long ruck marches) and time in the motorpool would make your days longer. Unless you are much older, I would say wait it out till you are done with your college work, especially if you aren't even in your mid twenties yet.
@@tonyclayton585 im sure you would have to do ROTC or some officer candidate school but you still have plenty of time since the age limit for officer is 35

Was 18, parents split up, had a crappy seasonal minimum wage job that was coming to an end, was almost homeless, wanted to go to college but was broke. Joined the army and got an intelligence MOS. Best thing that happened. Opened a lot of doors after I got out and gave me college money. Looked great on my resume. I really loved my job. Got to travel and live in some great and not so great places. Lots of camaraderie and friendships and experiences. Everything paid for. Job security. And in retrospect, if I had stayed in and done my 20 years, I could have gotten a retirement the age of 38. Pretty darn nice.
Really? Your mos was intelligence and you say ,and after I got out they gave me college money. 🤔 No disrespect but this seriously concerns me about the state of our society.
@@williamsavant6430 wait whay does this comment concern you about the state of society 😂 please explain i lowkey laughed it's bc of thinking of joining but my parents kinda want me to and im kinda down but im confused too like what the hell even do they do☠️like i know there's many jobs and it's an important job but which path u take ☠️why does this community concern you
I served 24 years, and although, I could challenge your Cons, I appreciate a young guy, A Young Black man speaking Highly of the Military. Forever how long you serve, just know you are and impact.
I want to join because I hear that they pay for school. I plan on being a vet. Right after highschool I go to the military (4 years) than collage (3-4 years) than vet school. So you think that's good? I'm 14
@@tryhard7257 yeah 14 too and I'm trying to join for the money and the fact that they will reshape me into a hardworking person but idk if it's worth it since one family member said yes and he was in the Brazilian military saying it was like school or adults while the other said no because I'm not that much of a hardworker which is true
@@tryhard7257 i know your not asking me, but i think it’s a good plan. but i would do some research on which one you want to go to and know what your getting yourself into. and because your young i would work out and do the exercises they do in the boot camp just so your prepared. good luck!
Pro #3 is the main reason I joined, I literally enlisted recently right after I got my associates, I was not paying that high tuition for my transfer school. I’m excited to gain the experience that I want in the army and feel like I’m set for the future. And honestly, the cons feel more like “emotional” cons; that’s just a new adjustment to someone’s mentality. Nice video, makes me feel a little less nervous 🙂
For anyone discouraged please read! I didn’t have a education no GED or diploma I self taught from TH-cam. Go talk with an Army recruiter ASAP I didn’t have a GED nor diploma, I also had a felony arrest in 2017. The Army still offered open arms to me I got set up with the Sophia’s learning program where I received a diploma along with 15 college credits. I will be sworn in MAY 5th. Do not give up on your goals keep pushing until you get where you want I’ve been chasing this since 18 I’m now 22 turning 23 next month it’s never to late!
Don thank you for asking! I’m 30 days away from my ship off date! Honestly this has been a blessing I’m newly married; this opportunity gave me an education and a stable future for my wife and I, I’m very thankful for that. I went with 91B as my Mos there are pros and cons to every job but I figured this will most likely further my knowledge I don’t have a background in mechanics but I’m open to everything. I was able to get a sign on bonus as well.
22 years old. I love fighting, I train jiu jitsu, and kickboxing. It’d be awesome to make it as a pro MMA fighter, but with everything going on in the world I just can’t. I want to be a part of a positive change so this is why I stumbled on your video. Plus fighting in a cage won’t give me a secured bag haha, in all seriousness, the army has always been in the back of my head. I’m just barely realizing that I don’t want to miss any more years of my life not making that change happen. Great video brotha 🤙🏻
awesome. but consider all of the military, and not just the army. also keep in mind that unless you get a good job with a good unit in the army, you might have less time (if active duty) for your hobbies, since lots of people in the army spend time out in the woods for weeks at a time plus we have morning formations that make our days longer. lots of people in the air force (unless they have jobs like maintainers or mechanics) would have more time for themselves than so many people in the army do.
Awesome brother! I’m same age about to be 23. Feel the same, being part of a positive bigger change. Also have jiu jitsu training but want more out of it. Look into USAF, a lot more benefits than other branches even tho you get that sas talk from all those branches lmao
@Damien Fuentes if those are the only deciding factors then maybe, but most jobs will not have just work load and payment as deciding factors. Hard work builds character, discipline, and while the skill of one job may not carry to another, trying your hardest to be the best you can be at whatever you do can be turned into a habit that will help you anywhere. So, assuming you’re in a career you enjoy, the hard work that goes into becoming skilled in your field is a benefit.
@@damianmoore3308 my grandfather is a ridiculously hard worker and just retired a couple years ago since he literally could not physically do his job anymore. He’s 89 next week. The work me and him do is Silviculture forestry some of the toughest work in the world.
Honestly the short time I was in the navy it changed me for the better. In the end I joined for the wrong reasons and that's why I got out pretty quickly. But one thing is for sure. I can always say I became a sailor I got through boot camp. Which was rough for me. Those that are joining or thinking about joining the military. Join for the right reasons don't rush into it neither. I got lucky they let me just get out without it really effecting my civilian life. A lot of others weren't or aren't so lucky. Thanks for your service!!
Can somebody plz plz comment fast who has army experience maybe inbox me on here yeah that’s a thing on TH-cam now my mind is made up on going but going to the infrantry is just in consideration but I have 3 small babies at home but I do wanna be on a badazz vacation w a gun and make brothers w my fellow Americans should I join infrantry and what is the safest most badass thing to do?
@@tony04rod At the moment I am now hesitant of joining the army, things seem to be loss of honor in the leadership of the military and political aspect of things. What happened in Afghanistan recently, has really changed some perspective for myself. Many soldiers died there....for nothing.
@@tony04rod go talk to a recruiter and see what kinda jobs u can get and the career u can make out of them plumbing already pretty good so I mean u r pretty set for now
Thank you for this video + honesty! I did 9 years in the Army and enjoy being a civilian now. Plus this helps younger people make a proper/sound decision on to join or not.
good video. 9 years in the Army and I can definitely say that this video is spot on and more importantly accurate and realistic. we'll done high-speed!!
I gotta 22 year old son I'm trying to motivate from doing nothing but get fired from jobs and sit in his room playing video games. hopefully your vid can help him...seeing another young person talk positive about the military.thanks for the vid.
Honestly, a lot of young people would benefit from just doing the one contract. The VA loan, GI Bill, work experience and opportunity to save/invest a LOT of money (depending on your circumstance) are all extremely valuable. After that, however, I wouldn't sign another contract. Me personally I value my autonomy too much.
Really good video. One additional con in the military is that it’s very hard on relationships. The deployments, training exercises and moving to new locations is hard on loved ones. Also, there are times when the military will have draw downs and force senior officers and NCOs to retire.
my boyfriend is joining the army and he told me that its “family friendly”, him meaning that after we’re both 18 and married i’d be able to move in with him after he gets a house and his life started and that we’d be living together and that it’d be like him leaving for a normal job unless he gets deployed, then thats when there is time spent away. i’m just not entirely sure yk and im not sure if i am making sense but i’m just wondering
@@alainalandon8958if you are emotionally dependant on your boyfriend and/or the type of person that needs lots of reassurance then you should really reconsider if this is what you want. My girlfriend and I broke up because we realized that I wouldn't be available as a bf in the army. It's the sad truth that still hurts to this day, but better that then us being miserable together.
I don't exactly know what I want frome military and life but I know I want to do something impactful I been a little spoiled and sheltered ad a kid I and have a low self esteem but this sems like something I'm interested in the more I think about it the more I want to should I?
If you want to talk to a Recruiter personally let me know. I'll answer any questions that you may have. It's important to make sure that you get something out of the military. Whether it be a higher self esteem, college, etc... dont go in the military in worse or the same condition you went in as.
what do you do in the airforce? and how is it like? i’m still pretty young but i’m very set on joining the military, stuff anything rlly… (js i’m in australia) i’m very unfit and overweight but i’m planning on changing that. and can you be a high school dropout and join? and how smart do you have to be? :/ i apologise for the bother 😅
@@uyfu8590 no worry’s man! It might be different for what you guys have to do with you being Australian ,but my job is Radio frequency transmissions we do way to much for me to say it all on here to sum it up we can work on networks, radios, satellite links, and loads more. As for being a high school drop out and being smart it all comes down to how bad you want it you don’t necessarily have to be a rocket scientist it’s not the hardest thing in world but you definitely have to put the time in to study. Good luck with your journey I believe in you!!
I'm sure she goes over what it's like for women in the army when they have to go to the field for a month and cant clean themselves. Women in air force dont have that problem.
I'm 16 joining next year (Army reserves in Canada). I would definitely recommend joining the Army Cadets RIGHT NOW. It's probably the best thing you could possibly do to get ready to join at 18. I'm in the RCAC and have had many opportunities to even just ask CAF members random questions about the Army. Aswell as learn drill, marksmanship and an idea of ranks, respect and selflessness.
I definitely been thinking about joining this year. Thank you for the great tips. I just subscribed. Can’t wait to see more great information from you💯👌🏽
A really big PRO for me was I could sleep anywhere under any condition after a couple of years.Sleep is probably the most important thing to a soldier so sleep 'em where & when you can.
nothing wrong with inclusiveness and being more welcoming, it has been weird asf with the notorious ad since its a military but then again thats the marketing team more so then what actually happens, dont let that stop you because if your drive is stronger then some ideals that are not your own i would advise a differnt career in a differnt industry, we all are green or dark green when you wear the uniform
@@sirsatire7802 Being welcoming is one thing but when you drop standards to meet quota then that is when it becomes dangerous and stupid. My son is an officer and like all officers he attended four years of University. Guess what? He is knee deep with critical race theory brainwashing. All young officers are just like him. I'm a minority who enlisted in the Army decades ago before the woke generation. Back then a soldiers evaluation was based on his/her achievement, not the color of their skin or how many moms they have. Back then when a minority was in a superior position you knew he/she earned it and he/she was very much respected by everyone. Today when you see a minority in charge you can't help but wonder if it's nothing more than affirmative action hire. Really sad.
@@loganwolverine5849 Don't let that stop you from serving. The benefits don't change just because they made a woke video. Besides the civilian world is much more woke than the military. You cant express yourself by dying your hair or painting your nails and if you are gay or lgbt you can't express it. So if you think the military doing that video is a joke then imagine being surrounded by it 24/7 in the civilian world where you can openly express it
Hey Aaron, I’m in rotc and planning to do dental assisting or dental hygiene once I graduate. Can you make a video about your experience with your career so far, or is there a way we could talk so you could give some tips?
This is truth, I just got my 16th month in Korea and about the cons it’s pretty much what’s happening with me right now not being able to visit my family due to covid. I’m going air assault next month.
Being someone with a long time interest in some sort of military involvement, I must give credit to your video. Though in yours, like many others, you go get a great deal of pros and cons that are greatly understood in some way by us civilians. Honestly, I want to know more about my risks, reasons I shouldn’t go in, what’s gonna make me want to quit, how am I going to feel about myself in the corps, or even after - a long time after? I know all these answers can’t be answered. I also know your post is more than sincere, while I need a more real world, transient approach to service and life within current day battle and war.
I've been wanting to join the army for years now and I can't wait till i'm the age to do so. I'm only 15 but even when I turn 18 I might still wait a liiittle longer to make sure my interest doesn't change. Theres something about the military that just makes me all excited but I feel like it might not be a job I'd want to do for the rest of my life. If a war starts progressing i can't just dip because jail dont sound all that fun LMAO
You don’t go to jail for leaving, you just won’t be able to join the military ever again. You don’t have to serve for your whole life serve one enlistment which is about 4 years if you like it stay if not leave. Plus most jobs in every branch of the military don’t even touch another gun after bootcamp, the only people who fight in wars are the combat related jobs, like Infantry or Spec Ops.
If war starts and you gon AWOL you can be charged for desertion or go to jail. And if you’re put out depending on the discharge it’ll ruin your life. A dishonorable discharge will prevent you from ever getting a government job, loans, etc.
you can enlist @17 and go to boot camp your summer of jr year and go home after instead of going to AIT but after you graduate you will go straight to AIT
Since I was a you boy I always wanted to join the military, but life got real fast and family came first for me. Now I'm 22 and need to start my life so I made up my mind I'm going to join to build and better myself so I can help my family better, like j Cole said "the good news is you came a long way, the bad news is you went the wrong way". That hit me, because I know I stood strong and kept going and never got short stopped where a lot of people probably would have, but something happened I got lost along the way I don't know what I want to do for a living I focused so much on my family I forgot about me now everyone is getting by on their own okay, but I'm dead in the water & I don't know maybe its god who just said here and gave me the opportunity to finally start my life still pretty young and live. Now its my time to got fit & figure out what branch to join thanks for the heads up man and you service ✊❤✌
Thx man.. BUT TODAY first thing in the morning I’m going to the army joining cuz I rather fight with my brother and sister then get nuked by russia WE BE Ready ‼️🙌🏼
Senior year I made all my credits and just coasted the whole year. Ditched school abunch Got arrested for truancy ,got four F. And a 2.0 and I still walked that line haha
SAME LOL Can’t choose between Navy or army. Got both recruiters blowing my phone up even though they know I got a DUI. Idk what to pick I want both branches in jobs with a logistics. Either a 92Y (army) or LS (navy)
I was gonna join USMC too but im definitely considering the Army as marines are telling me to finish collage and then be active when i want to be active as soon as possible and just do school while working (i dont even care if they pay for it honestly)
Dude I wish I would have had a video like this before I joined. I retired after 20 years last year and they definitely don't tell people enough about the little diffrences that are huge differences once your in lol. Great video and 100 percent accurate!!
I want to join because I hear that they pay for school. I plan on being a vet. Right after highschool I go to the military (4 years) than collage (3-4 years) than vet school. So you think that's good? I'm 14
Right now I’m lost in my life I feel like it’s to late to go a university and I’m tired of staying with my parents .. I’m a high school graduate and I’m lost I feel like I mean I signed up for community college… but I don’t know I feel like going to the army is better decision for me
@@nunuxoxo2122 So that decision is a tough one.. If you truly feel like you got to get out of your parents home and hometown, it's not a bad option. You'll hear a lot of people complain and say that the military sucks but it really is what YOU make of it. I hope you can decide and good luck!!!
@@tryhard7257 super late but that is a great plan. The GI Bill is a great asset to earn. Your first four years are paid for in college plus you get a living stipend for every month extra. It varies from state to state as far as the ammount. I would definitely talk to a recruiter if you have more questions. Good luck to you and sorry about the late reply.
As i graduated high school in 2019, i didn't go to College. I got 1 year & 8 months gap. This year i researched about Army. It's very tough, physical stress, lots of hard exercises & trainings. I can join but i give up to join.
I'm thinking about talking to an Army recruiter..I lost my job as an RDA do to the pandemic and I'm having money troubles ,I work in construction now but it's not something I like I know what I'm doing but I wish I could go back to school and goto dental school. And I believe the military could help me become a better Man being in this "Hood" hanging out with friends hasn't gotten me anywhere but jail and a life full of doubts lost a couple friends. "I think the time is now to be apart of something greater im tired of waisting space.
Thank you for this bro, I'm joining considering all of this and I'm okay with it. Also appreciate how recent this is to our times. Again, thank you a million times!
Yo its my dream to join the army but im hella nervous about my vision. My right eye is 20/40 and my left eye is 20/80. Do you think im still gonna pass meps and get infantry
Why did you make Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait seem like a travel leisure destinations lol. I’ve been to Iraq “07 for deployment and never got to go again. But I was stationed in Germany for three years, after that stationed in Hawaii for four years which I got to choose both. I’ve been to over 23 different countries around the world and about 32 different. My friends stayed home and try to save up to go on vacation for one week while lived there for years paid. Was the Army every day sunshine and cupcakes absolutely not, but the days of really getting to enjoy life outweighed the hard ones substantially.
I'm thinking about joining but the recruiter I have been talking to said I will need to have tattoo removal and have my ears closed before they take consideration letting me in. This has been a hard decision for me because I feel like traveling and doing service for the country would be a new experience, and benefit my future since I'm single and I am having a hard time keeping a roof over my head or even getting a job, so I feel like it may be a good option for me I just have to clean up my appearance for it, the schooling and benefits sound amazing and could really get my life on track. It's a big decision to make, there's no slacking in the Army or Military lol It would also teach me major independence and responsibilities which would be good also
I am a registered dental hygienist, would I still be able to practice that in the army? Or would I have to do something else depending on what I score on the asvab?
Hello ! Thank you for sharing this information! Could you tell me please, if I finish basic training, can I get health and dental insurance for whole life or how many years do I have to serve to get it ?
I can go along with everything you said except having Limited Freedom. Where in your contract does it say you cannot have an opinion? I understand obeying superior officers even with stupid orders, but the freedom of speech applies to soldiers too.
@@uziatake yea I changed my mind about the military, I am now doing commercial roofing! But I still feel like there is something out there, maybe, I used to want to do security or firefighting. Maybe one of those I actually end up pushing for, who knows life is a mystery.
I hate how in the us military you are literally protecting the country and the freedoms it has, yet they take away tons of freedoms you had before, it’s like a punishment for serving for the country. Yes there are benefits but that’s probably the only thing keeping me from being in the military
This guy isn't telling everything and so does the others. They say what they are taught to say. If their sergeant or higher up find them being too honest, they will suffer the consequences. I don't trust these people, none of them. They are undeniably here to recruit whether they know it or not. For that, I am not joining the military.
Do you think the typical chain-of-command is supportive of someone's personal educational goals in his/her limited free time? (Heard you reference going to college simultaneously while AD -- did not know this was possible -- but good for you!)
I thought they also changed up how you get your pension you either pick the 20 yr option or a 6-whatever amount years you do... has anyone else heard of this...?
Am I the only one that sees the reality here? If your mos is 11b your options are what exactly when you are discharged? What about 13b great my options are 5 civilian positions available for throwing shells down range at the rocky mountains for avalanche control. My experience as a soldier is the government could care less if you are there. You literally signed your life away when you sign that contract. They don't care about you and never will. Ask yourself this before joining. What is the only job in the U.S. that promises everything and guarantees nothing? Is your life worth the opinions of the people that will never see combat and will readily send you in there place?

i dont wanna join the army for long, I only want it for discipline and mental strength , I'm 16 idk what the shortest time I can serve
Up to 3 or 4 years depending on the job u choose, then u can re enlist for more time

Great video, I retired from the AF after 23 years. The military is great for young people to bid some time until they figure out what they want to do. Like he said you get paid training and experience while you're deciding what to do. Remember this, someone will always tell you what to do and when to do it. Even if you start your own business your customers will tell you what to do and when to do it. The military like all large operation has many rules and regulations that seem dumb, don't let that bother you stay focused on YOUR future.

If you want to join as an officer after college, many of the things he talked about still apply, but at the end of the day joining as an officer is a totally different ball game than enlisting. Use the military to help you pay for college and then enjoy your time as an officer.
How does this work? I’m a college student right now and have about two years left. Should I wait to enlist or sooner the better?
@@tonyclayton585 you should probably finish out your college because if you join the military, especially on active duty, you would have less time to do so.
I would imagine that unless you get a good job at a good unit, you would have even less time for yourself to even do online courses in the army especially because you would be going to the field for weeks at a time and even doing things like long formations and PT (not to mention long ruck marches) and time in the motorpool would make your days longer.
Unless you are much older, I would say wait it out till you are done with your college work, especially if you aren't even in your mid twenties yet.
@@golfery5119 I’m 20 turning 21 this October. I’d still be able to join as an officer after I graduate?

Was 18, parents split up, had a crappy seasonal minimum wage job that was coming to an end, was almost homeless, wanted to go to college but was broke.
Joined the army and got an intelligence MOS. Best thing that happened. Opened a lot of doors after I got out and gave me college money. Looked great on my resume. I really loved my job. Got to travel and live in some great and not so great places. Lots of camaraderie and friendships and experiences. Everything paid for. Job security.
And in retrospect, if I had stayed in and done my 20 years, I could have gotten a retirement the age of 38. Pretty darn nice.
Really? Your mos was intelligence and you say ,and after I got out they gave me college money. 🤔 No disrespect but this seriously concerns me about the state of our society.

@@tryhard7257 yeah 14 too and I'm trying to join for the money and the fact that they will reshape me into a hardworking person but idk if it's worth it since one family member said yes and he was in the Brazilian military saying it was like school or adults while the other said no because I'm not that much of a hardworker which is true
@@tryhard7257 i know your not asking me, but i think it’s a good plan. but i would do some research on which one you want to go to and know what your getting yourself into. and because your young i would work out and do the exercises they do in the boot camp just so your prepared. good luck!
Pro #3 is the main reason I joined, I literally enlisted recently right after I got my associates, I was not paying that high tuition for my transfer school. I’m excited to gain the experience that I want in the army and feel like I’m set for the future. And honestly, the cons feel more like “emotional” cons; that’s just a new adjustment to someone’s mentality.

For anyone discouraged please read! I didn’t have a education no GED or diploma I self taught from TH-cam. Go talk with an Army recruiter ASAP I didn’t have a GED nor diploma, I also had a felony arrest in 2017.

22 years old. I love fighting, I train jiu jitsu, and kickboxing. It’d be awesome to make it as a pro MMA fighter, but with everything going on in the world I just can’t. I want to be a part of a positive change so this is why I stumbled on your video. Plus fighting in a cage won’t give me a secured bag haha, in all seriousness, the army has always been in the back of my head. I’m just barely realizing that I don’t want to miss any more years of my life not making that change happen. Great video brotha 🤙🏻
awesome. but consider all of the military, and not just the army. also keep in mind that unless you get a good job with a good unit in the army, you might have less time (if active duty) for your hobbies, since lots of people in the army spend time out in the woods for weeks at a time plus we have morning formations that make our days longer. lots of people in the air force (unless they have jobs like maintainers or mechanics) would have more time for themselves than so many people in the army do.
Awesome brother! I’m same age about to be 23. Feel the same, being part of a positive bigger change. Also have jiu jitsu training but want more out of it. Look into USAF, a lot more benefits than other branches even tho you get that sas talk from all those branches lmao

I wouldn’t consider hard work a con.
@Damien Fuentes how so?
@Damien Fuentes if those are the only deciding factors then maybe, but most jobs will not have just work load and payment as deciding factors. Hard work builds character, discipline, and while the skill of one job may not carry to another, trying your hardest to be the best you can be at whatever you do can be turned into a habit that will help you anywhere. So, assuming you’re in a career you enjoy, the hard work that goes into becoming skilled in your field is a benefit.

Honestly the short time I was in the navy it changed me for the better. In the end I joined for the wrong reasons and that's why I got out pretty quickly. But one thing is for sure. I can always say I became a sailor I got through boot camp. Which was rough for me. Those that are joining or thinking about joining the military. Join for the right reasons don't rush into it neither. I got lucky they let me just get out without it really effecting my civilian life. A lot of others weren't or aren't so lucky. Thanks for your service!!
What was Boot Camp like?

Did he end up going ? I have a decent 9-5 but then go home and play video games and feel like I’m wasting my time when I can do more…
Honestly, a lot of young people would benefit from just doing the one contract. The VA loan, GI Bill, work experience and opportunity to save/invest a LOT of money (depending on your circumstance) are all extremely valuable.
After that, however, I wouldn't sign another contract. Me personally I value my autonomy too much.
Really good video. One additional con in the military is that it’s very hard on relationships. The deployments, training exercises and moving to new locations is hard on loved ones. Also, there are times when the military will have draw downs and force senior officers and NCOs to retire.
my boyfriend is joining the army and he told me that its “family friendly”, him meaning that after we’re both 18 and married i’d be able to move in with him after he gets a house and his life started and that we’d be living together and that it’d be like him leaving for a normal job unless he gets deployed, then thats when there is time spent away. i’m just not entirely sure yk and im not sure if i am making sense but i’m just wondering
@@alainalandon8958if you are emotionally dependant on your boyfriend and/or the type of person that needs lots of reassurance then you should really reconsider if this is what you want.

I don't exactly know what I want frome military and life but I know I want to do something impactful
I been a little spoiled and sheltered ad a kid I and have a low self esteem but this sems like something I'm interested in the more I think about it the more I want to should I?
If you want to talk to a Recruiter personally let me know. I'll answer any questions that you may have. It's important to make sure that you get something out of the military. Whether it be a higher self esteem, college, etc... dont go in the military in worse or the same condition you went in as.
Joining the Air Force instead of the army was probably the best decision I have ever made what you guys in the army have to through is lame af !

I'm 16 joining next year (Army reserves in Canada). I would definitely recommend joining the Army Cadets RIGHT NOW. It's probably the best thing you could possibly do to get ready to join at 18. I'm in the RCAC and have had many opportunities to even just ask CAF members random questions about the Army. Aswell as learn drill, marksmanship and an idea of ranks, respect and selflessness.
I’m 16 and I’m still thinking about it. I got time tho 😂
I definitely been thinking about joining this year. Thank you for the great tips. I just subscribed. Can’t wait to see more great information from you💯👌🏽
A really big PRO for me was I could sleep anywhere under any condition after a couple of years.Sleep is probably the most important thing to a soldier so sleep 'em where & when you can.
What’s the trick? I didn’t learn this skill 😅
The way the higher ups in the military are forcing wokeness , really makes me think twice about joining.
nothing wrong with inclusiveness and being more welcoming, it has been weird asf with the notorious ad since its a military but then again thats the marketing team more so then what actually happens, dont let that stop you because if your drive is stronger then some ideals that are not your own i would advise a differnt career in a differnt industry, we all are green or dark green when you wear the uniform
Emma’s two moms keeps us safe
Them forcing wokeness makes me laugh, the military is a joke because of it, and that makes me sad. They use to be badass. :-/
@@sirsatire7802 Being welcoming is one thing but when you drop standards to meet quota then that is when it becomes dangerous and stupid. My son is an officer and like all officers he attended four years of University. Guess what? He is knee deep with critical race theory brainwashing. All young officers are just like him. I'm a minority who enlisted in the Army decades ago before the woke generation. Back then a soldiers evaluation was based on his/her achievement, not the color of their skin or how many moms they have. Back then when a minority was in a superior position you knew he/she earned it and he/she was very much respected by everyone. Today when you see a minority in charge you can't help but wonder if it's nothing more than affirmative action hire. Really sad.
@@loganwolverine5849 Don't let that stop you from serving. The benefits don't change just because they made a woke video. Besides the civilian world is much more woke than the military. You cant express yourself by dying your hair or painting your nails and if you are gay or lgbt you can't express it. So if you think the military doing that video is a joke then imagine being surrounded by it 24/7 in the civilian world where you can openly express it

Being someone with a long time interest in some sort of military involvement, I must give credit to your video. Though in yours, like many others, you go get a great deal of pros and cons that are greatly understood in some way by us civilians. Honestly, I want to know more about my risks, reasons I shouldn’t go in, what’s gonna make me want to quit, how am I going to feel about myself in the corps, or even after - a long time after? I know all these answers can’t be answered. I also know your post is more than sincere, while I need a more real world, transient approach to service and life within current day battle and war.
I've been wanting to join the army for years now and I can't wait till i'm the age to do so. I'm only 15 but even when I turn 18 I might still wait a liiittle longer to make sure my interest doesn't change. Theres something about the military that just makes me all excited but I feel like it might not be a job I'd want to do for the rest of my life. If a war starts progressing i can't just dip because jail dont sound all that fun LMAO
I am 19 and want to join
this is how I feel I’m 14
You don’t go to jail for leaving, you just won’t be able to join the military ever again. You don’t have to serve for your whole life serve one enlistment which is about 4 years if you like it stay if not leave. Plus most jobs in every branch of the military don’t even touch another gun after bootcamp, the only people who fight in wars are the combat related jobs, like Infantry or Spec Ops.
If war starts and you gon AWOL you can be charged for desertion or go to jail. And if you’re put out depending on the discharge it’ll ruin your life. A dishonorable discharge will prevent you from ever getting a government job, loans, etc.
you can enlist @17 and go to boot camp your summer of jr year and go home after instead of going to AIT but after you graduate you will go straight to AIT
Since I was a you boy I always wanted to join the military, but life got real fast and family came first for me. Now I'm 22 and need to start my life so I made up my mind I'm going to join to build and better myself so I can help my family better, like j Cole said "the good news is you came a long way, the bad news is you went the wrong way". That hit me, because I know I stood strong and kept going and never got short stopped where a lot of people probably would have, but something happened I got lost along the way I don't know what I want to do for a living I focused so much on my family I forgot about me now everyone is getting by on their own okay, but I'm dead in the water & I don't know maybe its god who just said here and gave me the opportunity to finally start my life still pretty young and live.

I hate how in the us military you are literally protecting the country and the freedoms it has, yet they take away tons of freedoms you had before, it’s like a punishment for serving for the country. Yes there are benefits but that’s probably the only thing keeping me from being in the military
It's a hard life. I think the cons outweigh, but just my opinion.
Ya, especially the biggest con… SUDDEN DEATH!!!
This guy isn't telling everything and so does the others. They say what they are taught to say. If their sergeant or higher up find them being too honest, they will suffer the consequences. I don't trust these people, none of them. They are undeniably here to recruit whether they know it or not. For that, I am not joining the military.

And what’s going on with that guy that cussed at a DS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you think the typical chain-of-command is supportive of someone's personal educational goals in his/her limited free time? (Heard you reference going to college simultaneously while AD -- did not know this was possible -- but good for you!)
Yes
Depends on the command dome are very supportive, and others make excuses as to why you can’t go.
Do u need to go to college even if you are taking a mos
I wish I'd seen your video 40+ years ago. Keep up the great work!
cons “death” 😂😂
I leave tomorrow to fort Jackson in Georgia. Never been outside California besides Las Vegas. I'll tell you guys what it's like when I'm done. 👍
Good luck you’ll do great things don’t give up it’s worth it look at the brighter picture
There will be lots of parking lots, stores, houses, cars, trees, grass and the sky above you.. just like everywhere else
Can I bring minoxidil rogaine foam, to boot camp or not.
I thought they also changed up how you get your pension you either pick the 20 yr option or a 6-whatever amount years you do... has anyone else heard of this...?
Am I the only one that sees the reality here? If your mos is 11b your options are what exactly when you are discharged? What about 13b great my options are 5 civilian positions available for throwing shells down range at the rocky mountains for avalanche control. My experience as a soldier is the government could care less if you are there. You literally signed your life away when you sign that contract. They don't care about you and never will. Ask yourself this before joining. What is the only job in the U.S. that promises everything and guarantees nothing? Is your life worth the opinions of the people that will never see combat and will readily send you in there place?
Keep on that grind! Fr Fr
I was late 130 times and graduated😂
