This is exactly what I plan on joining for, I did a semester of college and dropped out because I wasn’t really ready for it straight out of high school. I just turned 20, I’ve been working at Walmart for almost 2 years now, just been smoking weed and hanging out. I’m getting tired of not doing anything... it’s honestly making me depressed. I stopped smoking on my birthday and when I’m clean I’m going to the recruiter and signing up. The plan is to mature in the navy and let them pay for school. Wish me luck!
He is right. I got too comfortable with living at my parents' home after five years. Now I don't have any other options but get enlisted into the Navy.
I completely agree.. When I told my mom I wanted to join the Navy through the NROTC program, she told me that she knows me best and "knows" it isn't for me. I let her biased opinion dictate my choice but by next year, I will transfer as a NROTC student and live up to my potential
True. I learned fast that the military has some really dubious (wouldn't say evil) snakes looking to ruin a sailor or two. An inch of water in the ship's ballast and my first class wanted me sent up to CM.
27 years old here and I officially enlisted on 12/16/20 as a YN. Got my shipping date for 05/05/21. Excited and motivated to start this new journey 🇺🇸⚓️

I didn't have a plan or expectation of life before joining the Navy. And... from personal experience you wil still succeed! Take what this young man is saying with a grain of salt. There is nothing wrong neither, with not having a plan after your first contract so you settle for a re-enlistment. In fact its the best decision I made in life. I went on shore duty on my 2nd contract. No deployments, chilled the whole time, and picked up a BS in investigative forensics. After 8 years I got out as an E6 with established wealth, if you dont have a plan, its ok. Trust me when I say this the Navy will show you the world literally and figuratively. The only statement I agree with is that there are higher ups that "belittle" your future aspirations. Unfortunately, there are incompetent higher ups that cannot persuade sailors to re-enlist so they resort to "homeless veteran" tactics. The truth is though, it is their duty to retain sailors to fulfill the Navy's manpower quota, understand that. Leaving this here as another opinion you can take into consideration.
Hey man, that's a good reason to join, but I just want you to know that it's completely up to you. Bootcamp will definitely make you a more disciplined person, but it's up to you to maintain all of that when you go to A-School, and ultimately, the fleet. I've seen a lot of my shipmates slip back into their old behaviors, old addictions, and civilianized themselves after Bootcamp. My tip, if you're joining the military to change your life when you get out of Bootcamp, avoid the bad habits, avoid making friends with people who remind you, or are like your past self, and work out. See the towns, and live out of your barracks room. The military is not what you think it is. Bootcamp will give you the tools to be a better person and live more efficiently, but it's up to you to sharpen those tools and put them to use.
Amen! Joining the Navy was one of the best decisions I ever made. I did four years and went to Central Washington University after that. The Navy opened doors 🚪 for me! Go Navy! And have a plan!!! :-)
I had the “old” GI bill, through which I received about 280 dollars per month As long as I was enrolled in at least twelve credit hours and maintained at least a “C” average.
I am looking to join the navy to gain experience toward a medical degree, work as a hospital corpsman; and then get out and work at a hospital on the beach. That’s the plan.
I just came across this video because I've been watching Navy videos lately reminiscing and asking myself what could've been if I stayed and did my 20. Did 8 years and took the risk not knowing whats going to happen with my life without the Navy. This video just reminded me that I made the right decision and I'm in a better place in life. I took advantage of what the Navy thought me within those 8 years I served and went back to school to do what I really love which is physical therapy. Everything you said in this video hits deep bro especially when you said don't trade money for time. Thats something I've been going by for the longest and it makes life much easier and enjoyable. Keep doing your thing bro. You earned my subs right away after seeing this video. Goodluck and God bless!
Never seen a more inspirational video. I'm going to try harder for not only myself but my family as well. Everytime I feel myself slipping, I will watch this video again and again. I've never heard anything like it and honestly I need a voice like this in my life.
Knowledge is power but it doesn't appear as if he's read any of those books. They look brand new when you really have taken the time to read the book it looks worn. The biggest laugh is he didn't show the front of the books with the title they could have been cook books
mgbracey You say you can’t see the covers of the book, while simultaneously stating that they look like they’ve never been read. Shim made this video to motivate people, not to show off his reading materials.
@HP have you ever heard of pause? I understand your position but when you motivate people you ougt to be able to tell them who and what motivated you. He's been in for more than a year I would gather, whats his rank and some of his accomplishments? Is he a leader in his current position and can he actually lead people. People won't follow talk they follow action. So if this motivated you bravo zulu to you, but I've been there and done that. I hope him all the best but understand what I'm saying you gotta show proof nowadays a lot of people talk a good game. Remember this phrase Big hat no cattle
Oh yeah one other point. Look very close in the background. He's living in the barracks if I had 6 streams of income coming in and a paycheck every 2 weeks I'll be doggone if I'd be living in the barracks with a roomy. Thats a little twin sized bed with a government issued blanket
when i realized i wanted to join the Navy this was the first channel i started watching. much love to you, man. i came back to watch some more after i was low on motivation. thank you 💯💯
I respect the realness. I hope the navy doesn’t get upset about this video. Update: Damn i was watching this video and was wondering why he snapping.. I literally quit my job 2 days ago because of this same reason. Everyone called me crazy but ima show them that life isn’t about being mediocre. Thanks shim you really inspired me
I understand everything this young man is saying, but it's what he's not saying that's misleading. I did a 20 year career in the Navy and no it is not for everyone. I encourage all young people who don't have a trade or don't have the means to attend college to join even if it's only for 4 years, but to do it with the intention of doing a job that benefits you when you get out. This young man throughout the entire video has talked about how he has all of these outside things going on but didn't mention not one or what he's doing to prepare himself for his return to civilian lifestyle. Example: when he makes his transition is he going to walk directly into his next phase immediately, I hope he does but reality is if he hasn't put in the work before the transition he'll have to go to the backup plan that he doesn't have in place. He hasn't mentioned any resources other than books that he's read who are the people that he's talked to in the field that he wants to work in when he gets out. The Navy has changed a lot since I retired but I always had good people around me to guide me and tell me the truth and not always agree with me. Here's what I reccomend that you do find a mentor inside the Navy and one outside that can mentor you in that field that you want to work in and don't say you don't need anyone to show you the ropes because we all do they've been there and done that. Plus they can tell you all the mistakes they made so that you won't have to. I did 20 years and I enjoyed my career. I retired at 38 paid off my house using my Navy pension now that money is pocketed on a savings account. Now I've been working for a fortune 500 company for 20 years soon to retire and collect another pension. So my advice to you young man is to calm down nobody wants to hear you sound so angry and provide videos that can actually provide some guidance as you gain knowledge. Allow someone to give you some guidance.
@mgbracey I agree with what @officialShim is saying although he did not mention his other sources of income. However, he did mention 6 streams of income but did not list them in detail. I agree with you that young people should join the military if they dont have a trade or a plan to attend college. I agree with you that a mentor is necessary to help guide you. I dont agree with the point you made about shim being angry and not providing guidance to people that would like to join. I believe Shim is amped about finding his purpose and life goals outside the military since he does not see himself serving 20 years. I believe shim is saying if you enjoy the military that's wonderful but if not prepare for life outside the military and use the military as a stepping stone. Shim major point is join the military and be happy or if your not HAPPY transition to a civilian and stop TRADING TIME FOR (pension)(paycheck) MONEY ----create a plan-----and trade MONEY FOR MONEY (Mutiple streams of income). This is a new age and you dont have to settle for a job to determine your financial success.!! With all do respect sir thank you for your service.
@@kwamybujubanton7524 👏👏👏I'm not one to linger on conversations that have no substance nor any proof. If that's what you truly believe then by all means have at it. Hey I'm all for the young mans success. Right now he's wearing a big hat with no cattle. I'm sure you've heard this phrase before "talk is cheap it doesn't cost you a thing and BS walks" take care and hope you all the best.
been watching your videos for a minute and this one really hit me. i joined to better myself but i’ve been getting too comfortable and not taking actions to grow mentally. i came across this video for a reason, thank you.
The passion is real brother. I have been watching a lot of your videos in preparation to sign a contract of 4 years as a Damage Controlman for a STEPPING STONE. Told myself I WILL be a fireman and I WILL be doing something I love in the next 5 years. Was not expecting this video to upload from you 8 hours ago but god damn am I glad you did. In manufacturing for 6 years and the quote "I will not trade my time for money...write that on the wall." stood the fuck out to me heavy. Took more than just something out of this...there is a reason I started tuning in and really taking your advice Shiimm 100% !!! Talk soon Boss.
I'm glad you're a fan. I'm 59 and to me he sounded like an angry young man trying to figure it out. I did 20 years retired at 38, been getting a pension now for 20 years, paid off my home and now I'm banking that pension and about to retire again from a fortune 500 company. This guy needs direction. I understand everything he's saying and I encourage kids that don't have the funds to attend college or just need to learn a trade to join the military to get that experience and use it on the outside. Here's what's so misleading about this video. 1. He doesn't speak of anything he's accomplished in the Navy. So what makes you think if he isn't putting in the time in the Navy to excel he's gonna do it when he gets out? 2. He didn't speak of anyone mentoring him in the Navy or when he gets out to show him the ropes he's got this all figured out. 3. Experience is the best teacher books are great but experience is a heck of a teacher. 4. No accountability and he's angry about being in the Navy. They'll let him out all he has to do is ask. As older men we gotta stop buying in and agreeing these young guys need someone to look them in the eye and tell them the truth and with this story I hope him all the best but his approach is wrong
Mgbracey dude 😂 shut the hell up nobody cares if ur old young people have to grind to support themself because no one supports them these days , you went through the exact same so exactly stfu 💯
@@danielfatone3994 ahh lets fact check. Yes I am over 50, yes I do have a JOB bringing in an income, I am retired military another imcome that I previously worked for now it comes on a regular, I do have investments and rental properties I collect rent. My mortgage is paid off and I'm looking to purchase another home. Yep I'm working to make money and anyone who isn't guess what THEY AIN'T MAKING NO MONEY, and you telling me to shut up. I'm working now so I don't have to in a few years.
I’m really thinking into joining the navy, I’m a little out of shape but I’m starting to improve so when I am ready to go in I can pass the PT, great video by the way!!! It really opens my mind
Bouta join the navy as a trampoline for my goal to become a business man and a man of God. I believe God send this message for me through youu. Keep doing what you’re doing my friend. Much love ! ✝️ 💯
Keep that energy bro!! I'm about to join the navy and I needed to hear this! I plan on using the navy as a way to build a strong foundation and help set me up for the career I really want once I get out! Thank you for keeping it real brudda

Never tell your Dreams to a dream killer, that's the quickest way kill your Dream. Unfortunately, this primarily the reason why so many folk has failed to leave their positive mark in this world.
Damn bro. You speak fact! I’m making the decision to join the air force and I’m writing all my goals down before signing that paper. Fear and doubt are creeping on me but all that is temporary greatness last forever.
My sweet boy is 6 or 7 weeks into quarantine/ boot camp. I CAN’T wait to see what he learns about himself. He already seems more appreciative of his family. Lol. We’re off to a good start. Just found your channel today and I’m now a subscriber. Helping my mama heart ❤️
Yessir shim you the goat for this one I’m in the Air Force and I be telling People that I’m only doing this contract and they will say “I said that to and look at me now”
Don't trade your time for money, what? Time is money youngster. Time is always ticking it would make more sense if it said my time isn't being wasted on things that don't matter. If we have a job working 8 hours a day whether it be self employed or working a job my time is my money. The time that you put in makes you or breaks you. Put in no time you get your worth put in the time and you get paid. Keep following the advice of this guy and you'll be questioning youself and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself. Google him in a year and see where he's at. I want the guy to win but he needs some guidance in his life
Thanks shim im thinking about goin to the navy in the 2 years and im a junior in high school right now...when i hear you speak about having a future and being successful makes me give lots of options about what i want to do in the future and in the navy....you make me want to go there with a plan and think more and more further ahead with plans thanks shim you inspire me for real💯💯
See this is why I love this dude💯 I knew from his passion and his desire to be great and his words are very powerful I see me in him and strive to be legendary in Life this how I know I’ll be alright in the Marines thank you Shim🙏🏾 I’m definitely way more inspired now keep it official and keep them coming I’m here for all them 💎
"YOU SITTING ON THE COUCH WATCHING TV AND YOUR LIFES PASSING YOU BY" YOU KEEP PROCRASTINATING....NO DO IT RIGHT NOW" lmaoo no bs i know this is serious just reminded me of that commercial.
Well said. I’m doing 20 but I never tried to force anyone to stay in. I Just let people know to take advantage of the programs set in place to help their transition better.
PERIOD! perioddddd. i have 3 1/2 years. joined 6 months ago, been at my first command here in Norfolk for about 2 weeks now. they already trying to make me stay in for another 4 after this contract. hell no. i respect it. im grateful for this. but i got passions and bigger plans that i have for myself once i get out. will definitely use this as a fucking trampoline into my next part of life. thanks for the wise words & for reminding me the same shit i was thinking when i joined, i seemed to have forgotten & started to have my mind changed without even realizing it
"6 months without playing the game " i'm almost at a month, been more productive. Barely miss it, @officialshim, you always spot on with the motivation
@ 4:55 was real talk I felt that man, I still haven't joined the military yet still trying to pay off debt but yes that what you said is very true man, your channel is what makes find a pathway to a success.
Bro real talk this video is DOPE! Keep putting out great content like this man. I personally appreciate it and keep up with them as I start my journey into the Navy.
This is some real content i graduating HS at 16 and when I turn 17 i plan on becoming a hospital corpsmen or a doctor and im inspired to use that platform to help people because i feel thats my pourpose
I just finished my first semester at college, it was okay but I have bigger dreams. While I was rethinking everything the Navy recruiter called me so I decided to go in and talk to him. I really like the Navy Program and what it has to offer since I didn’t have much structure or discipline growing up, but I’m still unsure what to do. I know it cant really hurt me going but how do i avoid getting trapped.
I retired about 6 years ago and truly understand where you coming from. The Navy its not for everyone. The compensation package you will received has decreased in recent years. Retiree Tricare used to be free, now there is a fee to pay. Even most benefits like commissary and NEX , that used to be for retirees and active duty only, has been extended to Veterans. Retired pay has demished and not enough to live a normal lifestyle. Plus at 38 almost 40 its hard to find a job specially if you have any VA rated disabilities. If I was doing it again... I would have done my first term, got out, used my GI bill and got a job. Joined the reserve and collect my same retirement at 60 instead of 38 with less bs/time away from home. A would have been better off. So why retire active duty when I can get the same from retirement at the reserve. Just my 2 cents.
💯 God Bless you abundantly. this video definitely reached me and got my confirmation from God through you brethren. Gotta set my daughter's future and take care of my wife. Gotta provide, it is my God given duty and it's only up from here.
I’m Joining the navy to get myself ahead. It’s just a stepping stone 💯 gotta take care my family I’m 24 with a wife and 2 young boys it’s time to stop procrastinating and get my mind right and grind. Yeah I have my cdls but I feel like that’s not enough I feel like I’m still behind. I got to get in the navy and have that mindset to move forward ‼️💯
Shim I’m a small youtuber myself & I swear you motivated me from this lazy comforting dark place im in right now. You’ve added a kick boost & fuel to my fire ❤️
Thank you for this video. You really made me emotional. I will change my mindset. I am weak minded. Comfort really has killed my growth these past 2 years, so I made the change to join the military -- something I always was interested in. Everything was going well for me, but I steered off path and didnt't stick to my original goal. My original goal was joining the military as a linguist, which I was a couple points away from scoring. I made the mistake of taking another job which I never even wanted. I backed out of the DEP and I felt regret. But after watching your video, I realize now that if I entered the military then I would easily be influenced to sign a reenlist contract in the future, because I am weak minded. I will study again - harder - so I can get my dream job in the military, which I have a passion for (or at least within the field I want). And when it is time to sign my contract, I will be strong minded and not easily influenced by others. For now, I must wait a bit to take that DLAB test again, but during this time of waiitng I won't waist time. THANKS
thank you bro i needed this i’m not in the service but watching this just opened my mind up so i can make the best decision for myself and future dreams God bless
I gotta do the NAVY to make me a better person, but you are right shim that I'm not gonna do that for 20 yrs straight. Im going to do it for a reason, like with everything else I am bout to do in my life. this is the first vid I watched of yours, keep making killer content.💯💯💯💯💯💯

Joining military to become a better person entirely
Hey man, that's a good reason to join, but I just want you to know that it's completely up to you. Bootcamp will definitely make you a more disciplined person, but it's up to you to maintain all of that when you go to A-School, and ultimately, the fleet. I've seen a lot of my shipmates slip back into their old behaviors, old addictions, and civilianized themselves after Bootcamp.
My tip, if you're joining the military to change your life when you get out of Bootcamp, avoid the bad habits, avoid making friends with people who remind you, or are like your past self, and work out. See the towns, and live out of your barracks room. The military is not what you think it is.

I understand everything this young man is saying, but it's what he's not saying that's misleading. I did a 20 year career in the Navy and no it is not for everyone. I encourage all young people who don't have a trade or don't have the means to attend college to join even if it's only for 4 years, but to do it with the intention of doing a job that benefits you when you get out. This young man throughout the entire video has talked about how he has all of these outside things going on but didn't mention not one or what he's doing to prepare himself for his return to civilian lifestyle. Example: when he makes his transition is he going to walk directly into his next phase immediately, I hope he does but reality is if he hasn't put in the work before the transition he'll have to go to the backup plan that he doesn't have in place. He hasn't mentioned any resources other than books that he's read who are the people that he's talked to in the field that he wants to work in when he gets out. The Navy has changed a lot since I retired but I always had good people around me to guide me and tell me the truth and not always agree with me. Here's what I reccomend that you do find a mentor inside the Navy and one outside that can mentor you in that field that you want to work in and don't say you don't need anyone to show you the ropes because we all do they've been there and done that. Plus they can tell you all the mistakes they made so that you won't have to. I did 20 years and I enjoyed my career. I retired at 38 paid off my house using my Navy pension now that money is pocketed on a savings account. Now I've been working for a fortune 500 company for 20 years soon to retire and collect another pension. So my advice to you young man is to calm down nobody wants to hear you sound so angry and provide videos that can actually provide some guidance as you gain knowledge. Allow someone to give you some guidance.
@mgbracey I agree with what @officialShim is saying although he did not mention his other sources of income. However, he did mention 6 streams of income but did not list them in detail. I agree with you that young people should join the military if they dont have a trade or a plan to attend college. I agree with you that a mentor is necessary to help guide you. I dont agree with the point you made about shim being angry and not providing guidance to people that would like to join. I believe Shim is amped about finding his purpose and life goals outside the military since he does not see himself serving 20 years. I believe shim is saying if you enjoy the military that's wonderful but if not prepare for life outside the military and use the military as a stepping stone. Shim major point is join the military and be happy or if your not HAPPY transition to a civilian and stop TRADING TIME FOR (pension)(paycheck) MONEY ----create a plan-----and trade MONEY FOR MONEY (Mutiple streams of income). This is a new age and you dont have to settle for a job to determine your financial success.!! With all do respect sir thank you for your service.
Couldn’t have said it better myself 💎
@@OfficialShim No problem brother. Keep doing your thing and inspire the youth. Next time you in DC hit me up.
@@kwamybujubanton7524 👏👏👏I'm not one to linger on conversations that have no substance nor any proof. If that's what you truly believe then by all means have at it. Hey I'm all for the young mans success. Right now he's wearing a big hat with no cattle. I'm sure you've heard this phrase before "talk is cheap it doesn't cost you a thing and BS walks" take care and hope you all the best.
What about ppl with an actual trade or degree what would you say about them joing ? Or not to join??
He said “ I put my back against the wall and whatever’s in front of me , has to move “ 💯
been watching your videos for a minute and this one really hit me. i joined to better myself but i’ve been getting too comfortable and not taking actions to grow mentally. i came across this video for a reason, thank you.
The passion is real brother.
I have been watching a lot of your videos in preparation to sign a contract of 4 years as a Damage Controlman for a STEPPING STONE. Told myself I WILL be a fireman and I WILL be doing something I love in the next 5 years. Was not expecting this video to upload from you 8 hours ago but god damn am I glad you did.
In manufacturing for 6 years and the quote "I will not trade my time for money...write that on the wall." stood the fuck out to me heavy. Took more than just something out of this...there is a reason I started tuning in and really taking your advice Shiimm 100% !!!
Talk soon Boss.
Man you said a mouth full. And that's coming from a 50 yr old man.
I'm glad you're a fan. I'm 59 and to me he sounded like an angry young man trying to figure it out. I did 20 years retired at 38, been getting a pension now for 20 years, paid off my home and now I'm banking that pension and about to retire again from a fortune 500 company. This guy needs direction. I understand everything he's saying and I encourage kids that don't have the funds to attend college or just need to learn a trade to join the military to get that experience and use it on the outside. Here's what's so misleading about this video.
1. He doesn't speak of anything he's accomplished in the Navy. So what makes you think if he isn't putting in the time in the Navy to excel he's gonna do it when he gets out?
2. He didn't speak of anyone mentoring him in the Navy or when he gets out to show him the ropes he's got this all figured out.
3. Experience is the best teacher books are great but experience is a heck of a teacher.
4. No accountability and he's angry about being in the Navy. They'll let him out all he has to do is ask.
As older men we gotta stop buying in and agreeing these young guys need someone to look them in the eye and tell them the truth and with this story I hope him all the best but his approach is wrong
Mgbracey dude 😂 shut the hell up nobody cares if ur old young people have to grind to support themself because no one supports them these days , you went through the exact same so exactly stfu 💯
@@danielfatone3994 ahh lets fact check. Yes I am over 50, yes I do have a JOB bringing in an income, I am retired military another imcome that I previously worked for now it comes on a regular, I do have investments and rental properties I collect rent. My mortgage is paid off and I'm looking to purchase another home. Yep I'm working to make money and anyone who isn't guess what THEY AIN'T MAKING NO MONEY, and you telling me to shut up. I'm working now so I don't have to in a few years.
I’m really thinking into joining the navy, I’m a little out of shape but I’m starting to improve so when I am ready to go in I can pass the PT, great video by the way!!! It really opens my mind
Bouta join the navy as a trampoline for my goal to become a business man and a man of God. I believe God send this message for me through youu. Keep doing what you’re doing my friend. Much love ! ✝️ 💯
Young man, a lot of high school kids need to here this before joining. Spot on.
Keep that energy bro!! I'm about to join the navy and I needed to hear this! I plan on using the navy as a way to build a strong foundation and help set me up for the career I really want once I get out! Thank you for keeping it real brudda
Yo.. thank you honestly. I’ve been frustrated recently because I feel like my life is at a stand still but I fr needed that motivation. Thank you and I hope that you keep striving Bruh. Keep building yourself up 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
YES SIR! Shipping out tomorrow 🙌🏻
Tmrw damn good luck
Keep us updated
I'm 21 and lately I've been contemplating joining the Navy. God bless.
how was it
What division are you?
Never tell your Dreams to a dream killer, that's the quickest way kill your Dream. Unfortunately, this primarily the reason why so many folk has failed to leave their positive mark in this world.
Damn bro. You speak fact! I’m making the decision to join the air force and I’m writing all my goals down before signing that paper. Fear and doubt are creeping on me but all that is temporary greatness last forever.
what are your goals?
My sweet boy is 6 or 7 weeks into quarantine/ boot camp. I CAN’T wait to see what he learns about himself. He already seems more appreciative of his family. Lol. We’re off to a good start. Just found your channel today and I’m now a subscriber. Helping my mama heart ❤️
Yessir shim you the goat for this one I’m in the Air Force and I be telling People that I’m only doing this contract and they will say “I said that to and look at me now”
💯 💯💯 “Don’t trade your time for money!” That legit spoke to me, thank you ✊🏿
Don't trade your time for money, what? Time is money youngster. Time is always ticking it would make more sense if it said my time isn't being wasted on things that don't matter. If we have a job working 8 hours a day whether it be self employed or working a job my time is my money. The time that you put in makes you or breaks you. Put in no time you get your worth put in the time and you get paid. Keep following the advice of this guy and you'll be questioning youself and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself. Google him in a year and see where he's at. I want the guy to win but he needs some guidance in his life
Thanks shim im thinking about goin to the navy in the 2 years and im a junior in high school right now...when i hear you speak about having a future and being successful makes me give lots of options about what i want to do in the future and in the navy....you make me want to go there with a plan and think more and more further ahead with plans thanks shim you inspire me for real💯💯
just make sure you stick to that plan & keep your head on straight. i came in with a plan and i have been on track to achieve my goals
Maquela Blakey for sure thanks💯💯
tell us the story of how they almost trapped you with the weird contract
See this is why I love this dude💯 I knew from his passion and his desire to be great and his words are very powerful I see me in him and strive to be legendary in Life this how I know I’ll be alright in the Marines thank you Shim🙏🏾 I’m definitely way more inspired now keep it official and keep them coming I’m here for all them 💎
Can’t let them people hurt your feelings bro. Everybody ain’t gone believe in your dream keep it pushing and never let em’ see you sweat
god wanted me to hear this message, I send you an abundance of blessings. 💯
Not a navy TH-camr but definitely the REALEST TH-camr 💯
I haven’t been tuned in here for a minute but this video made want to grind harder than ever
He said I don’t play games 😂😂 much respect bro
"YOU SITTING ON THE COUCH WATCHING TV AND YOUR LIFES PASSING YOU BY" YOU KEEP PROCRASTINATING....NO DO IT RIGHT NOW"
lmaoo no bs i know this is serious just reminded me of that commercial.
Well said. I’m doing 20 but I never tried to force anyone to stay in. I Just let people know to take advantage of the programs set in place to help their transition better.
PERIOD! perioddddd. i have 3 1/2 years. joined 6 months ago, been at my first command here in Norfolk for about 2 weeks now. they already trying to make me stay in for another 4 after this contract. hell no. i respect it. im grateful for this. but i got passions and bigger plans that i have for myself once i get out. will definitely use this as a fucking trampoline into my next part of life. thanks for the wise words & for reminding me the same shit i was thinking when i joined, i seemed to have forgotten & started to have my mind changed without even realizing it
Felt this in my soul man keep making videos, keep it 💯. I extended for 2 years I’m currently regretting that decision every second of the the day.
This guy brings different levels of motivation 💯
💯💯 I say I’m getting out after my first contract and everyone looks at me like I’m crazy you said it best tho
It’s cause they chose to stay stuck and they too comfortable and they gave up on they dreams so they just doing it day and day out
"6 months without playing the game " i'm almost at a month, been more productive. Barely miss it, @officialshim, you always spot on with the motivation
@ 4:55 was real talk I felt that man, I still haven't joined the military yet still trying to pay off debt but yes that what you said is very true man, your channel is what makes find a pathway to a success.
Very true about people staying in because they have not prepared to get out. Happens even at the higher ranks. Good point my dude!
The fire that’s lit in you is crazy ‼️ keep grinding
- Keep going K I N G, continue to speak the REAL cuz everybody isn’t gonna relate - Think & Grow Rich within yo spirit & elevate 🏁
I need to watch this every morning 🔥🔥🔥
Bro real talk this video is DOPE! Keep putting out great content like this man. I personally appreciate it and keep up with them as I start my journey into the Navy.
My young Shipmate you have the right attitude, mindset and Fire to charge forward. Onward and hope to hear of your success
I love how passionate you were! Amazing motivation and message. Thank-you!
This video is unreal. Love to see someone actually speaking the god honest truth. Good on you man. Love to see it.
Thank you for your words. My parents say I cant graduate early when I have the credits for it
They always try to belittle me. Thank you for your words
I believe in you brother!!💪🏼💙 My whole mindset just changed!
Need another video like this Shim this gave me the goosebumps 💯💯💯
This is some real content i graduating HS at 16 and when I turn 17 i plan on becoming a hospital corpsmen or a doctor and im inspired to use that platform to help people because i feel thats my pourpose
I just finished my first semester at college, it was okay but I have bigger dreams. While I was rethinking everything the Navy recruiter called me so I decided to go in and talk to him. I really like the Navy Program and what it has to offer since I didn’t have much structure or discipline growing up, but I’m still unsure what to do. I know it cant really hurt me going but how do i avoid getting trapped.
This is it. I’m gonna watch this video whenever I feel stuck, thank you so much bro.
Lmao he talking like he speaking from experience like someone pissed him off😭😭😭😂 great video thoe
I joined navy spec wars because of you thoe shim ima use that as a stepping stone appreciate it bro
I retired about 6 years ago and truly understand where you coming from. The Navy its not for everyone. The compensation package you will received has decreased in recent years. Retiree Tricare used to be free, now there is a fee to pay. Even most benefits like commissary and NEX , that used to be for retirees and active duty only, has been extended to Veterans. Retired pay has demished and not enough to live a normal lifestyle. Plus at 38 almost 40 its hard to find a job specially if you have any VA rated disabilities.
If I was doing it again... I would have done my first term, got out, used my GI bill and got a job. Joined the reserve and collect my same retirement at 60 instead of 38 with less bs/time away from home. A would have been better off. So why retire active duty when I can get the same from retirement at the reserve. Just my 2 cents.
This is exactly what I needed to finalize my decision if I want to join or not thank you!💯
Nobody going to save you you got to save yourself that what I say all the time before I start my day bro 💯💯🤝
Big ups to you from Baltimore I’m graduating next year from Highschool you the inspiration people need man…
Because when you leave they dont give a damn about you.
💯 God Bless you abundantly. this video definitely reached me and got my confirmation from God through you brethren. Gotta set my daughter's future and take care of my wife. Gotta provide, it is my God given duty and it's only up from here.
I’m Joining the navy to get myself ahead. It’s just a stepping stone 💯 gotta take care my family I’m 24 with a wife and 2 young boys it’s time to stop procrastinating and get my mind right and grind. Yeah I have my cdls but I feel like that’s not enough I feel like I’m still behind. I got to get in the navy and have that mindset to move forward ‼️💯
Shim I’m a small youtuber myself & I swear you motivated me from this lazy comforting dark place im in right now. You’ve added a kick boost & fuel to my fire ❤️
I needed this I really forgot why I even joined the Army ❤️ Ima be on my shit now 💯
I got 5 months left! Mfs really be trying to keep you in!!!
Thank you for this video. You really made me emotional. I will change my mindset. I am weak minded. Comfort really has killed my growth these past 2 years, so I made the change to join the military -- something I always was interested in. Everything was going well for me, but I steered off path and didnt't stick to my original goal. My original goal was joining the military as a linguist, which I was a couple points away from scoring. I made the mistake of taking another job which I never even wanted. I backed out of the DEP and I felt regret. But after watching your video, I realize now that if I entered the military then I would easily be influenced to sign a reenlist contract in the future, because I am weak minded. I will study again - harder - so I can get my dream job in the military, which I have a passion for (or at least within the field I want). And when it is time to sign my contract, I will be strong minded and not easily influenced by others. For now, I must wait a bit to take that DLAB test again, but during this time of waiitng I won't waist time. THANKS
You will never grow if you’re comfortable wooooo I feel and love that line ❤️❤️
I found you too late, my son may be getting kicked out of Navy (I pray not) but he could have use a motivational speaker like yourself, great video!
