MY son joined the AF as a AB. Got college credit and 8 years later was promoted to second lieutenant. Now he's a Capt over 15 years in. It worked out for him
I need to stop being lazy. Having a kid who’s not even a year old yet makes it very hard to manage work and personal time but I gotta start working and stop being complacent
This video was super helpful. I'm thinking of enlisting. I'm currently in college, but I've been having trouble getting a job that works with my school schedule, as well as wanting to start new somewhere else.
Active Airforce here in and working on my bachelors degree in cybersecurity and information assurance WGU is heavily overlooked and I recommend it just finished my first semester 30 days early with them last week
@@AaronbTV Im currently in college rn but want to join the Air Force this year, I don’t have my associates yet is it possible to transfer units and keep going in the Air Force ?
Is the process of balancing college and active duty in the Air force stressful. I’m thinking of enlisting in the air force straight out of high school and i also want to do college at the same time so i’m trying to decide between Active or Reserve
only reason i went enlisted is for a specific job role rather than a becoming a leader for a certain field (kinda like a manager), also the commitment as an officer is a lot longer than enlisted if anything. ROTC does have its benefits though if you really want to become an officer and there's no downsides if that's what someone aspires to be.
Very good point. Many specialized jobs in the military that align w/ what someone might want to do in civilian life aren't open to officers. Officers are management, and enlisted are craft. There is a down side to or at least something that really must be understood if one is to be a GOOD officer. As an officer YOU ARE in charge and ultimately responsible. Want a good career? Take care of your men and they'll make your career.
That’s interesting. I prefer in campus classes and I think that’s one of the reasons why stayed a civilian instead of joining. Also I thought being in the military, working, and going to class would be to overwhelming.
if you have a college near your military post, you can go to both as long as your schedules lineup. I did that, but it was way more stressful to go to Campus than just online.
Let me say this. I graduated in 1999 I was able to get a music scholarship and academic scholarship for my first 2 years of school at a community college. My parents never saved up for college and they never applied for state based aid for me despite knowing that I wanted to go to college. (Yes, I'm still pissed about that) The military was an option but I didn't think it was right that I had to sign up for 4+ years of slavery just to have the dignity of an education. I had no other option than to take out student loans, which is also a form of slavery. Slavery is still in operation in this country.
@@gera2396 The capitalist oligarchs have made it so we cannot live within our means. So they offer healthcare and education in exchange for bondage. That is slavery.
I’m in my Junior year of high school, graduating next year and planning on joining the Army right out of high school and enlisting as an MP, I also wanna go to college to pursue my criminal justice degree.
If you're going for a criminal justice degree and going for 31B because you want to become a LEO in the future, then I'd advise against it. I don't have any experience myself, but from what I've read from officers, it's better to have a different degree as a backup if law enforcement doesn't work out. It's also better if you don't become an MP because even though it does give some LE experience, military and civilian law are entirely different and its easier to train someone that doesn't know anything about LE than to break down someone's military LE experience then train them in civilian LE. If you're not doing this then... just ignore this comment.
wow I’m literally in aww this video is so helpful one and two seeing someone my age be so committed and focused it’s such a beautiful thing- thinking about specializing in anesthesia for my Air Force career because I think it will connect to my esthetician/ spa owner dreams. does your career have anything to do with your college degree ?
@@benevolent2077I know plenty of people who are not black that have skin conditions and issues that they require a shaving profile. Beards can look professional too. Now there are people who use a profile as an excuse due to laziness. Now I hate shaving because I think the military looks weird with grown men having baby faces but I don’t get paid enough/ don’t have any power or influence to be able to change AR 670-1 but if it were up to me, I’d say if you can grow a beard you should be allowed to within a reasonable limit. But you do sound ignorant for that statement about black dudes crying about getting a shaving profile.
I’m heavy into bodybuilding style training, legit the best part of my day, what’s the equipment in the gym like? Planet fitness level (damn near no machines and baby ass dbs, or more equipped)
I'm joining the army soon. Don't know whether to go active duty or reserves though. I'm 28 and currently work full time but I'm tired of doing that. I been working though and shit and like I wanna further my education I'm a college drop out and i chose to waste my money on drugs and all that so yeah but that's in the past now I want to go back to school so my question is do I still get all the benefits and stuff for college if I decide to do the reserves ? Because I can definitely work full time and go to school. I've been working my whole entire adult life so working doesn't bother me but I definitely feel like I need college can advance me further in life I might just do active duty though because I want the full army experience but not sure yet either because I do make decent money at my job but also kinda tired of doing factory jobs hmm decisions.
Bro I wanted to join the army a couple months ago, but I bitched out. Currently working a construction job but to be honest , feel like there’s more to life than just being a construction worker . Fuck idk man . I’m 20 by the way
@@lilbaby2957 Shit bro you're way younger than me. I say go for it because most people (including myself) have those self doubting thoughts all the time and they hold you back. If the army if something you really want to do then go for it.

That was like 4 years ago bro but it's a really big decision tbh so just make sure you really want to do it and don't give up on yourself bro and don't let nobody tell you that you can't do something
@@lilbaby2957 im also 20. I work in factory jobs. I feel pretty stuck, so I made up my mind to go to the army. And i say go for It. Cause it’ll always stay in the back of ur mind. And idk working in a job you don’t even enjoy sucks. Trying stuff out tho sounds like an amazing opportunity.
Infantry in the field for 24 hours up to 2 weeks? I'm just fucking w/ you dog. I'm an old infantry guy. But there's a super big point you imbody, but are missing. The person's choice of MOS. You're a great example. Dental Specialists. Dental Hygienist. Dentist. There are a lot of jobs in the military that already set a person up for a civilian career. And then one could piggy back off that w/ their education.
you're not wrong. it makes way more sense to do what you said as opposed to doing what some people say which is doing a MOS like infantry that has no civilian translation then trying to do your gi bill when you get out later. And for another one of a gazillion reasons, this is also probably why the air force is a better idea because of the fact that air force doesn't do the field like the army/marines do. Even if you went TDY in the air force, you'd still most likely have some internet access. Yeah you can use tuition assistance and do online college courses in the military including the army/marines while you are on active duty, but keep in mind you're in the army/marines where at various points of the year (even if you are in a medical mos like dental specialist in a field unit) you can be sent to the field where you are stuck for 2 or 3 or 4 or more weeks at a time without internet access. The Air Force wouldn't have that the same way that the army/marines do. Someone in AF can go for a few weeks on TDY and then when they are done for the day they have internet access to catch up on the online college course they're doing.
@@golfery5119 Now a whole other option. Say you want to be a tatted up badass operator type? Go thru those programs. Get those skill sets. There's a lot in the civilian sector for that. And it can be quite lucrative. A lot of folks w/ a lot of money often need some kind of shit handled. But, this shit can get dark fast, so always be the Honorable Warrior you were trained to be.
@@oldnatty61 hoah. Maybe there might be a good contractor job for that, and maybe I might be able to go through one of those programs when my TAP window opens.
If you are an active duty 68w and you’re attached to a line unit can you also go to college? I want to finish up my bachelors for public health and use the GI bill for doctoral physical therapy or preferably I want to do HPSP (can you do HPSP for a DPT program, I have over 36 credit hours and only need 8 more classes btw) I don’t know if I should join before finishing my bachelors or join after I’m finished with my Bachelors.
I really want to got to college and the military at the same time but also still want to practice guitar and improve musically. From your experience do you believe this will be possible to do while on active duty with the time elotted to me by day?
@@Lafortune100Yeah but not many people join the military to play instruments. If anything it’ll be depending on the mos you want and the time management skills of said person.
I'm trying to join jatc which is a electrician school basically colldge and I want to join the military idk what to do so can you join colledge first and then join the military and then finish it off
I know this may be an old video so you might not respond, but did you get community college credits in the military and then transfer them to WGU to pursue your bachelors?
Aye bro honest question let me know if you can answer this but I’m in the army myself and want to know if I can become a pro boxer while being In the army
I’m interested in joining the air force, heard you say in one of your previous videos that you are a dental assistant and on the air force website it says a qualification is to have completed a minimum two year american dental association accredited degree awarding dental hygiene program. Did you have to complete this before joining the army? Did you take this while in the army? Or am i misunderstanding what it is saying
I'm not fully in the Army yet but was qualified to become a dental assistant if I wanted. I'm 17 and have no college credits so no, you don't need any experience. What you most likely read is probably for *Officers* that want to do dental work. Enlisted soldiers don't have to complete any courses beforehand to train to become whatever they want to become. For example I'm becoming a 68W (Combat Medic) but I don't need to get my NREMT before joining or do any courses before joining. They will teach you what you need to know.
@@xirxn9592 Oh my goodness you do you bro or sis. It would make way more sense to be a 68E instead of a 68W because of the fact that 1) on the outside, a dental specialist would translate to a dental assistant whereas a combat medic would translate to what, an ambulance driver maybe? I don't even think combat medic actually translates to an emergency medical technician but I could be wrong. Then of course there's the job on active duty. As long as a dental specialist is actually assigned to a clinic, he or she would actually be doing his or her job. Things will suck if the dental specialist is assigned to a field hospital (because this isn't the air force but the army) and all he or she is doing is for the most part motorpool nonsense and cleaning up at the company followed with once in a while going to the field doing whatever (because this isn't the air force but the army). For combat medics, obviously that's something you'd never actually do since you aren't at war in combat. At most you'd maybe treat an infantryman who sprained his ankle in the field. For the average day if you're lucky you'd be sent to a unit that lets you work in a clinic where you'd be signing people in and maybe checking their vitals. If youre not lucky, then you'd really be stuck in a motorpool and cleaning up all day even moreso than a 68E sent to a field hospital. It just makes less sense to go with 68W over 68E but you do you.
I don't know if im too late but, far as I know you can join the Army as a non citizen and it will help you obtain a U.S. citizenship. Talk to a recruiter though because they have the most up to date information on that stuff.
Sounds like your in the dual credit program. I did a college course while I was in high school. It stays on both high school and college. I recommend talking to your recruiter first before joining and see how it works
that's the military in general unless you have like an office or medical job in the air force or if you do go Army, don't be sent to a forscom unit (which you have no control over)
I didn't score high enough on the Asvab the first time and didn't want to take it again, also i didn't know what I wanted to do really after highschool!
4k a year??? Tf. Most good schools will want near 10k a semester. No cap other jobs outside the military will pay more towards college or pay you more in general so you can afford that college tuition
Tuition Assistance is one of 4 ways the Army can help you pay for college. You also have your MGIB-AD and MGIB-SR (Montergomery G.I. Bill/Active Duty and Selected Reserve). Then you have your Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. Each of these have different requirements and benefits. The basic rundown is that everybody gets TA as long as you have enough time in your contract to complete your course(s). Benefits are up to $4,500 a year paid directly to you. This is available for as long as you take classes. For the MGIB-SR, you must sign a 6 year contract to receive benefits. Benefits go from $1,300-$5,250 a year paid directly to you based on how many courses you're taking. This is available for up to 36 months. For the MGIB-AD, you must pay $100 a month during your first year of service and serve 2 years active duty before receiving benefits. Benefits go from $6,600-$26,500 a year paid directly to you based on how many courses you're taking. This is available for up to 36 months. For the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, you must serve at least 90 days active duty to recieve 50% benefits all the way up to 1,095 days (36 months) to recieve 100% benefits (There's also 60%, 70%, 80%,and 90% in between). Benefits go from $13,550-$27,100 paid directly to the school based on your percentage. Benefits also include up to $1,000 for books and supplies and a housing allowance for in person classes (Based on Basic Allowance for Housing in the area you're attending) as well as $1,050 for people who are attending college online. So you're final benefits are: TA + MGIB-SR: $5,800-$9,750/Year TA + MGIB-AD: $11,000-$31,000/Year TA + Post 9/11 G.I. Bill: $18,500-$31,600/Year (Not including housing and stipends) So all in all, the benefits are confusing but they do provide a good deal of money for education. I do recommend you look up more information about it if you're curious since this is just a basic breakdown of the benefits. Maybe this will even persuade you towards joining, who knows? Even if it doesn't, good luck with your future.
yes, but if you think about the military tuition assistance for 4 thousand dollars a year is like that because the military doesn't really expect you to be taking a lot of college (if you do take college) while serving on active duty because the military is such a hectic schedule. It might not be so difficult for a lot of people in the Air Force who are not mechanics and have decent schedules compared to a lot of other military servicemembers, but it is especially more difficult for a lot of people in the Army and Marines who have to go sit in the woods for several weeks on end without internet access. I don't know how Navy would do it on a ship but I doubt they're much better. The military is only counting on you to take one or maybe two courses here and there while you're serving on active duty and probably they let you have that little bit of tuition assistance, 4 thousand dollars, as something that might convince people who don't know any better to try to stay in and not get out the military.
Im going on my last semester in college and will be commisioning as an active duty officer this december. After my BOLC and getting settled down at my unit i plan on going to grad school but Im not sure how to juggle that with me being higher in leadership, any tips?
Can I serve 4 years active duty, while doing so earn my associates degree. They after the 4 years go to a 4 year university and play football? Then go back to the army to continue my career? I know that's a lot but my dream has always been to plau college ball. But I'd also love to continue serving and possibly someday work in intelligence!! I love sports but also the opportunities the Military provides for someone like me. Please help out..I just cannot afford collge right now and am in a pickle when it comes to living a normal life and I know the military can and will help me earn my goals for my future! Please let me know!
I would think that you would have to have some kind of scholarship to play football in college in the first place??? I doubt they would let you serve, then get out, and play football at a college?

Did you have to complete this before joining the army? Did you take this while in the army? Or am i misunderstanding what it is saying
Im also curious
I'm not fully in the Army yet but was qualified to become a dental assistant if I wanted. I'm 17 and have no college credits so no, you don't need any experience. What you most likely read is probably for *Officers* that want to do dental work. Enlisted soldiers don't have to complete any courses beforehand to train to become whatever they want to become. For example I'm becoming a 68W (Combat Medic) but I don't need to get my NREMT before joining or do any courses before joining. They will teach you what you need to know.
@@xirxn9592 Oh my goodness you do you bro or sis. It would make way more sense to be a 68E instead of a 68W because of the fact that 1) on the outside, a dental specialist would translate to a dental assistant whereas a combat medic would translate to what, an ambulance driver maybe? I don't even think combat medic actually translates to an emergency medical technician but I could be wrong.
Then of course there's the job on active duty. As long as a dental specialist is actually assigned to a clinic, he or she would actually be doing his or her job. Things will suck if the dental specialist is assigned to a field hospital (because this isn't the air force but the army) and all he or she is doing is for the most part motorpool nonsense and cleaning up at the company followed with once in a while going to the field doing whatever (because this isn't the air force but the army).
For combat medics, obviously that's something you'd never actually do since you aren't at war in combat. At most you'd maybe treat an infantryman who sprained his ankle in the field.
For the average day if you're lucky you'd be sent to a unit that lets you work in a clinic where you'd be signing people in and maybe checking their vitals.
If youre not lucky, then you'd really be stuck in a motorpool and cleaning up all day even moreso than a 68E sent to a field hospital.
It just makes less sense to go with 68W over 68E but you do you.
@golfery5119 Well, I'm shipping out to San Antonio tmr, but I'm still fine with my choice of 68W.
what is GIBO
💯💯💯
Does 68E require citizenship, I cant find information about it. I'm joining as a noncitizen.
I don't know if im too late but, far as I know you can join the Army as a non citizen and it will help you obtain a U.S. citizenship. Talk to a recruiter though because they have the most up to date information on that stuff.
what if youre already enrolled in college but going to serve in the army (i have not graduated from high school)
Sounds like your in the dual credit program. I did a college course while I was in high school. It stays on both high school and college. I recommend talking to your recruiter first before joining and see how it works
Im 25 uniform its not really predictable
that's the military in general unless you have like an office or medical job in the air force or if you do go Army, don't be sent to a forscom unit (which you have no control over)
Do you dorm in the college ?
Would u recommend cybersecurity in the military?
Yes it hard as fuck but do it if you can…I tried but I didn’t make the cut😂 so definitely go cyber(17 series) or IT(25 series)
Hey Arron, why did you choose to be a 68E instead of something related to your Cyber security Major?
I didn't score high enough on the Asvab the first time and didn't want to take it again, also i didn't know what I wanted to do really after highschool!
@@AaronbTV wass good Arron what do u think is the best mos in the army that can translate to the civilian world
@@juniorowusu_ just be logical like imagine being a parachute rigger how does that translate to civilian world
@@juniorowusu_ Chef
you can, you just dont ever have time for it.
Will this also cover trade schools?
Yes
Trade school >> College

4k a year??? Tf. Most good schools will want near 10k a semester. No cap other jobs outside the military will pay more towards college or pay you more in general so you can afford that college tuition
Tuition Assistance is one of 4 ways the Army can help you pay for college. You also have your MGIB-AD and MGIB-SR (Montergomery G.I. Bill/Active Duty and Selected Reserve). Then you have your Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. Each of these have different requirements and benefits.
The basic rundown is that everybody gets TA as long as you have enough time in your contract to complete your course(s). Benefits are up to $4,500 a year paid directly to you. This is available for as long as you take classes.
For the MGIB-SR, you must sign a 6 year contract to receive benefits. Benefits go from $1,300-$5,250 a year paid directly to you based on how many courses you're taking. This is available for up to 36 months.
For the MGIB-AD, you must pay $100 a month during your first year of service and serve 2 years active duty before receiving benefits. Benefits go from $6,600-$26,500 a year paid directly to you based on how many courses you're taking. This is available for up to 36 months.
For the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, you must serve at least 90 days active duty to recieve 50% benefits all the way up to 1,095 days (36 months) to recieve 100% benefits (There's also 60%, 70%, 80%,and 90% in between). Benefits go from $13,550-$27,100 paid directly to the school based on your percentage. Benefits also include up to $1,000 for books and supplies and a housing allowance for in person classes (Based on Basic Allowance for Housing in the area you're attending) as well as $1,050 for people who are attending college online.
So you're final benefits are:
TA + MGIB-SR: $5,800-$9,750/Year
TA + MGIB-AD: $11,000-$31,000/Year
TA + Post 9/11 G.I. Bill: $18,500-$31,600/Year (Not including housing and stipends)
So all in all, the benefits are confusing but they do provide a good deal of money for education. I do recommend you look up more information about it if you're curious since this is just a basic breakdown of the benefits. Maybe this will even persuade you towards joining, who knows? Even if it doesn't, good luck with your future.
yes, but if you think about the military tuition assistance for 4 thousand dollars a year is like that because the military doesn't really expect you to be taking a lot of college (if you do take college) while serving on active duty because the military is such a hectic schedule.
It might not be so difficult for a lot of people in the Air Force who are not mechanics and have decent schedules compared to a lot of other military servicemembers, but it is especially more difficult for a lot of people in the Army and Marines who have to go sit in the woods for several weeks on end without internet access. I don't know how Navy would do it on a ship but I doubt they're much better.
The military is only counting on you to take one or maybe two courses here and there while you're serving on active duty and probably they let you have that little bit of tuition assistance, 4 thousand dollars, as something that might convince people who don't know any better to try to stay in and not get out the military.
Im going on my last semester in college and will be commisioning as an active duty officer this december. After my BOLC and getting settled down at my unit i plan on going to grad school but Im not sure how to juggle that with me being higher in leadership, any tips?
maybe you can apply to grad school to where the army would let you go to school and be a student instead of assigning you to a unit?
Full time student and parent? 😭😭😭
What school is WGU?
Western Governer University
Online college probably
Can I serve 4 years active duty, while doing so earn my associates degree. They after the 4 years go to a 4 year university and play football? Then go back to the army to continue my career? I know that's a lot but my dream has always been to plau college ball. But I'd also love to continue serving and possibly someday work in intelligence!! I love sports but also the opportunities the Military provides for someone like me. Please help out..I just cannot afford collge right now and am in a pickle when it comes to living a normal life and I know the military can and will help me earn my goals for my future! Please let me know!
I would think that you would have to have some kind of scholarship to play football in college in the first place??? I doubt they would let you serve, then get out, and play football at a college?
