One or two friends are good to have. That way you can get to know them very well and judge if they’re actual friends or not. Being completely alone is never good.
Great to see other enlisted members doing school while in. Finished my B.S. from E-3 to E-4, which was a huge contributor to making E-5 the first time. The majority of enlisted military is so complacent and lazy. Good luck with commissioning man, its definitely worth the extra work....especially if you plan to retire! $4,500 officer pension over a $2,000 enlisted is kind of a no brainer.
Get your degree online. It shows you are able to demonstrate self management, and you can do courses at your own pace. No matter what, don’t punk out and quit your degree, start it and finish it!
Your channel has become a valuable resource and helped alter my perspective for the better. At 18 I entered the health-care field as a dietary aid. 19 I became a certified nursing assistant with the intention of becoming a registered nurse. 22 I became an (ASCP)PBT and (AMT) MLA with the intention of becoming a lab scientist. Currently 24 I am a rehab tech with the final decision to attain my associates/bachelor's degree in radiology. In between the two degrees I will specialize in three different types of rad/sono. The hospital I work for offers tuition assistance. Then at 28 I will start the application process to join the AF Reserves as an officer. I was kicking myself for not joining the military sooner because I thought if I was in there at 18,I would currently have had a degree. After watching your videos and a few others, it seems whether or not I joined the military, I mostly likely wouldn't have obtained a degree in the same time because between 18-22 I was, immature, unfocused, indecisive and naive. I believe young people assume the military will give them a sense of direction, which it does, but ultimately it depends on the individuals maturity level, experience, and ambition. If I joined the military before I would have done 6yrs enlisted and left without utilizing any of the resources. Now at 24 I'm looking at taking everything from the civilian sector and the military that I can while also willing to sacrifice what my younger self wasn't prepared to sacrifice. Your content is beneficial not only to 18-22yr olds but to anyone else who has a goal that may include the military. Thank you and keep up the hard work.
It's kind of a different story if you went STRAIGHT reserves. Obviously you have a lot more time and you can stockpile a lot more classes. However the reserve GI bill won't get you very far and often times you'll have to pay out of pocket. Luckily there are ATs, ADTs, and deployments to help fund your college education. Also if you're an E-4 and below these's a decent chance you'll qualify for financial aid since you're not making that much money (Unless you make a lot on the civilian side). What many of the young Sailors in my unit do is pay out of pocket for the first 2 years of college at a local community college then go on a deployment and finish the final 2 years at a university. Most of them essentially work their way through school rather than relying too heavily on the GI bill. Many of them use the GI bill to get their Master's. Those coming off active duty into the reserves use the G.I. bill to it's fullest. Those who went STRAIGHT into the reserves are kind of in a "meet me halfway" situation.
Been researching around, and I understand that serving the country and doing your job is a priority. Keep in mind, if you want to pay for college, job comes first, then the benefit. Either do a few classes after spending a 2 years on training and adjusting to your job so you perform the best you can, and finish college after your contract. Or do your 4 years, then use your GI bill to pay for your bachelors, full focused on college. That's pretty much the generalization I've come up with. I'm going to enlist because I truly believe the military will give you things you just can't get anywhere else. I'm going for AV, hoping to get AT O level, and then go for either Electrical Engineering or Computer Science. OCS will be considered if I think the military will offer a better career than other offers.
@@keepmovingforward8821 In the Air Force, if you start working on your bachelors, the associate degree will come via the Community College of the Air Force. Took me three years for the bachelors and a year and a half for the masters. It can be difficult with trainings, TDYs and deployments but well worth it.
@@missytopnotchboss2663 I took a few classes at all my duty stations but focused on it more once I went overseas. I’ve seen some get their bachelors in 4 years and graduated the same time as their friends who went straight to college after high school.
NICKY MGTV. I'm actually doing the same thing as you. I plan on getting my B.S. in healthcare administration and management. Them probable either PA school or Medical school. How did you complete the science courses? And is it possible to attend a university where you are stationed?
Too funny. I went to college on the GIBill and if you drop a class because my father got sick and died but the VA stopped my entire check and I had to pay back the 1/4 then to get back to being paid took a long time. Yikes what a struggle.
Hey Nicky. I’m deciding whether or not to go active HM? My aspirations are to go to medical school and I still need my bachelors. I know it will be tough but having school fully paid for is attractive.
I Join the USN 1960, all through my 20 years I would take courses using tuition aid. (3/4) cost of course. When I retired I waited one year and they started at Mesa College for an associates, then went to UCSD for the rest of the 4 years. Because of previous course in the USN (college courses), I graduated in 1989 with 200 semester units and a 3.48 GPA. My aunt who worked at Miami University, Oxford Ohio advised me to go in the Miltary, for a few years and I would do better in college. How right she was, Thanks Aunt Mable.
I am currently working on my associates in Allied health. I was planning on finishing next year. I will be 30 and want to enlist as a corpsman. Would you recommend I wait until I finish my 2 year or enlist now? I am a bit older and have gotten to travel all over and do many types of work, but I have always had either the Navy or Air force on my mind. Would love hear your thoughts:) thanks for the videos they help so much!
delaying for a degree would not be ideal because you don't know how long until you actually leave, and the benefits of delaying joining do not outweigh the benefits you could get from an associates.
* right now I 32 years old. I have boot camp on May, enlisted as a culinary specialist. I have prior star class hotel experience in cookery too. I’m planing to get dietitian degree to be a commissioned officer. Because There are no officers in culinary field in military. I hope my culinary knowledge help to complete the degree successful * Is STA -21 program work for it?
Can you use your financial aid until they approve tuition assistance? Can you use both tuition assistance & financial aid together so you can receive a check from financial aid?
Does your major have to pertain to your MOS by chance? For example I'm about to go in as a 35M but I have an associate of science degree in Music Technology and want to get a Bachelors in Audio Engineering?
I did EMT courses while on a Med Cruise back in the mid 80's (nothing else to do with free time on an 7-8 mth cruise), didn't completely finish, however it sparked my interest and ended up RN later in my career. The ability to earn a degree online was something that was not available back then... the internet and online degrees (some geared toward miltary lifestyle) make it so much easier to earn a degree now-a-days.
I was homeschooled so I've never had a social life, I just burned through my schoolwork IoIz. I am in the National Guard so I can attend college and serve my country, but I kinda think I should have gone active duty--I'm used to grinding my schoolwork.
Just passed my 1 year mark in the air force and looking to continue my education. I wanna pursue a business or finance degree and a career in finance, preferably a personal advisor.
I have a question, does anyone recommend the military for me? I’m stuck between earning a degree while in the military or going straight to a university and having a job at the same(where I feel like I’ll be more stressed). I got a 3.7 gpa btw but I’m concerned about stress level and money
HiLearn 125 ROTC might be an option for you to go to school and get tuition covered but you would commission and be committed for x amount of years! good luck
Hey man, I live in SD as well. About to enlist this year in the NAVY. I went to city college and took all the video and music courses and now have my own business shooting corporate videos and sound for radio and television. Let's link up so you can give me some advice going in. In exchange, I'll shoot some drone shots for your blogs... let me know. Cisco
Cisco Rubio hey man how you doin! My name is Marcus, I’m a Logistics Specialist (LS) for the United States Navy and is love to answer and questions you may have on enlisting, meps, the whole nine yards.. feel free to text, call, or message me via email any time!!! 915-401-2018 is my phone number and jetsmh301@yahoo.com is my email. Again please feel free to contact me! I’d love to help you!!
So someone told me that if you take classes in the military, you won't take prerequisite classes and you will just take your major classes that you need for your profession
Sammie Olaitan not totally true or false this dependent on the school and what the class is. Example I am getting Anatomy and physiology from my training as pass or fail courses but medical schools will require me to take an actual course with a grade even though I have the credit.
--Note: If you're in the military and you're a job that works in an office, you have absolutely no excuse to not get one. If you are combat or aircraft maintenance, or a job that actually works and usually works for 12+ hours a day, good luck!
How credible do you think American military university is ? I hear everyone says it’s good for military but I haven’t heard anyone be able to use it outside of the military in a civilian sector and be just as competitive as a private university degree or are all those credits easily transferable
I don't think they're regionally accredited is the main thing. I used national university out of San Diego. People do MECP there for nursing and people get their MSC commissioning for health care admin so pretty reputable if you want to look. Idk what degree you want though.
AMU has regional accreditation as well as for its specific business, healthcare, public health programs and so forth. Even the MPH is accredited and doctors from major universities are students. AMU is affordable! Don’t enter the Navy with just your AA/AS/AAS degree. At least, an associate degree + 30 additional degree credits. Because you use TA & finish your 1st degree & work on your 2nd BA/BS/BSW of your choice. DoAF, DOA & DON prefer enlisted service members with 2 undergrad degrees. Doors open for DC or OCS. Now, best caveat is that you can be considered for graduate school at NPS, and/or AFIT. The 1st enlisted guy to receive a PhD was a Army MSG. Now SGM but if he transition to Commissioned Officer, he’ll be DC to captain. Progression to 0-4 & possibly 0-5 for retirement.
I'm going to be Intelligence in the Navy. I leave for basic in February. What's that going to look like because I do plan to continue and get my bachelor's while in the Navy. I'm finishing up an associates this week and graduating in December. I know it's going to be difficult balancing the two.
Dakotah Young Been told by former Navy Active Duty that shore duty is the best time to take classes. Depending on your rate you'll be able to take 2-3 classes at your local college but like NickyMGTV said you gotta discipline yourself not waste time in the restaurants all the time and going out all the time.
Jay Man I'm pretty good at doing homework. Been doing it for 5 semesters now 👍at a bible college and it's harder than most universities lol. I'm going to be an IS, so it may be difficult.
Dakotah Young Make the best of bible college man. It can truly be a blessing for your walk with Christ if you truly engage in it and not just be passive through it. Do you know anyone who is in Intelligence? I'm pretty sure you'll still have your laid back days on shore duty.
Jay Man I don't know anyone in Intel. I do know that I only know like 1% of what my job is going to be. Thanks and I do plan I getting a theology degree and then masters while I'm in the Navy.
If you are in your mid 30's, you should make decisions on your own... also, you didn't state anything regards to your circumstances. When you ask for an advice, you provide as much information as possible to the person you are asking to. Do you have GI Bill? or are you planning on getting a student loan? Do you have a degree plan? Major? Come on, man. I hope you are not currently in the military.
What if you have your degree already and it's an associates degree that is from a technical college/trade school would you still get a higher rank in that degree that is related with your degree if it's an associates. Still thinking about going to the Navy and want to do Medical Lab Tech in the Navy or at least get a associates degree in that field. I already have my associates in Medical Assistant would that help get a better rank/more advanced in my career also if you already went to a university before enlisting would they pay all of your tuition off.
brendan roy ya its kinda confusing. he never explicitly said, i would guess bachelors but he might also be working towards a masters, i also wonder why he didn't commission yet if he has a bachelors? also what is his degree in? nursing? cuz hes a corpsman
brendan roy I have a bachelors in health care administration. Application process is once a year and I didn't apply this year due to my training I'm in hay I had no time to put together a package. I am working on my submission for this summer.
so how does it work with your application to PA school being active duty? Will they grant you a change if you're deployed or switch to reserve and got accepted?
Elijah White tuition assistance is what I mentioned which is a benefit while active duty. The post 9/11 is a veteran benefit which can be used while active duty or after. You do not get the housing benefits if you use it while active duty.
NICKY MGTV thanks for putting all these info in one video...what else is on hold other than housing? If i get your point is it then better to use Fafsa or pay out of pocket for the degree???
No I am in my 30s with a h hermit life I feel this will complete my life. Who needs friends no one helps me with anything I'll make this my life. Wish I new this wish TH-cam was around back then O well. Thk u for yr knowledge
I would argue that an associate degree can be very valuable. The community college I am attending has a very good computer science program, and graduates can get good jobs if they don't pursue a bachelor's. Contrast that with an associates in English however....
even then you would top out on a pay scale due to not enough education typically. While yes there are small niche jobs as a whole the associates degree is not valued. It's more so a half way mark paper lol.
Actually with my Associate Degree I became a Registered Nurse. At our states community college system, every associate degree program leads directly to a job and a profession. I went way on but got my start with my associate degree. Sorry, I can't agree with you on this issue, no disrespect intended (I love your TH-cam videos).
@@NICKYMGTV dude I'm bummed. He is great with slaves. He is trying to get clean though. That's what matters. Hopefully he puts some stuff out soon. Maybe a solo project or something.
you never said what degree you got? was it bachelors/associates? also what major/concentration? if you purposely didnt tell us these details thats cool, i respect ur privacy;)
UMassForTrump I have a bachelors for health care administration. They are part of the medical service corps. I'm also applying for physician assistant this year.
UMassForTrump he just had different goals. He also had two deployments in that time so it's understandable. Being a flight deck aviation job is one of the places I can understand someone not go mg to school because they have long days.
NICKY MGTV is everyone in the military as cool and passionate as you & JT? because if so, i feel like i would make good friends while serving. going to serve for other reasons but just curious if you and JT are what the typical service member is like, ik u said vloggers in the military are the exception, im curious more about personality and caring about others

I think it'll be much more than 4500 if you retire as an officer since your rank will be considerably higher than a captain or any enlisted rank.
esp since the dollar will be worth less then
4himsanctified Base pat goes up with inflation and so does the pension.
Pay*
A BS that fast? Isnt 4 years?
Grind it to win it. A degree shows that you have commitment and can complete something long term.
Man this is freaking stressful trying to figure out how to get my degree in the military.
John Harbin not really.

It would put you ahead of the game to take DSST exams for credits. They are free for the military.
Will the military pay when your out as well ? Or only during active duty?
only while active duty. If you retire at 20 you can pull money from that.

I'm going to be Intelligence in the Navy. I leave for basic in February. What's that going to look like because I do plan to continue and get my bachelor's while in the Navy. I'm finishing up an associates this week and graduating in December. I know it's going to be difficult balancing the two.
Dakotah Young Been told by former Navy Active Duty that shore duty is the best time to take classes. Depending on your rate you'll be able to take 2-3 classes at your local college but like NickyMGTV said you gotta discipline yourself not waste time in the restaurants all the time and going out all the time.
Jay Man I'm pretty good at doing homework. Been doing it for 5 semesters now 👍at a bible college and it's harder than most universities lol. I'm going to be an IS, so it may be difficult.
Dakotah Young Make the best of bible college man. It can truly be a blessing for your walk with Christ if you truly engage in it and not just be passive through it. Do you know anyone who is in Intelligence? I'm pretty sure you'll still have your laid back days on shore duty.
Jay Man I don't know anyone in Intel. I do know that I only know like 1% of what my job is going to be. Thanks and I do plan I getting a theology degree and then masters while I'm in the Navy.
Dakotah Young what's your plan after the Navy that your going to do with the Theology degree?
what if you are in your mid 30’s with a bachelors degree,and you still want to earn an additional degree?Please share some insights on this matter
If you are in your mid 30's, you should make decisions on your own... also, you didn't state anything regards to your circumstances. When you ask for an advice, you provide as much information as possible to the person you are asking to. Do you have GI Bill? or are you planning on getting a student loan? Do you have a degree plan? Major? Come on, man. I hope you are not currently in the military.
I'd recommend getting a Master's if you still want to study
@@mathew633man So he can't ask advice if he's 30 🤔?
@@deewest1472 lmao
What was your degree?
What if you have your degree already and it's an associates degree that is from a technical college/trade school would you still get a higher rank in that degree that is related with your degree if it's an associates. Still thinking about going to the Navy and want to do Medical Lab Tech in the Navy or at least get a associates degree in that field. I already have my associates in Medical Assistant would that help get a better rank/more advanced in my career also if you already went to a university before enlisting would they pay all of your tuition off.
Also want to do Psychiatric Tech as well and pursue a degree in Psychology.
What type of degree do you have master's or bachelors?
brendan roy ya its kinda confusing. he never explicitly said, i would guess bachelors but he might also be working towards a masters, i also wonder why he didn't commission yet if he has a bachelors? also what is his degree in? nursing? cuz hes a corpsman
brendan roy I have a bachelors in health care administration. Application process is once a year and I didn't apply this year due to my training I'm in hay I had no time to put together a package. I am working on my submission for this summer.
so how does it work with your application to PA school being active duty? Will they grant you a change if you're deployed or switch to reserve and got accepted?
2-years and you earned a 4-year degree or an associate's?
Adam Russell how do earn your degree in 2years ?
So if you take classes while you're currently enlisted in the military, do they pay for it all? Or do they take that out of your post 9/11 GI?
Oh nevermind. I commented before I got to that part in the vid lol
Elijah White tuition assistance is what I mentioned which is a benefit while active duty. The post 9/11 is a veteran benefit which can be used while active duty or after. You do not get the housing benefits if you use it while active duty.
NICKY MGTV thanks for putting all these info in one video...what else is on hold other than housing?
If i get your point is it then better to use Fafsa or pay out of pocket for the degree???
NICKY MGTV what song is playing in the intro? It sounds amazing
dance gavin dance "blue dream"
Do you have to have a degree to move up in rank?
Dance Gavin dance ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yesssss🤗
My goal is to get my PhD in Clinical Psychology and be a military psychologist
Nicky you likes DGD?? I didn’t know you were cool
No I am in my 30s with a h hermit life I feel this will complete my life. Who needs friends no one helps me with anything I'll make this my life. Wish I new this wish TH-cam was around back then O well.
Thk u for yr knowledge
So you payed for school?
I would argue that an associate degree can be very valuable. The community college I am attending has a very good computer science program, and graduates can get good jobs if they don't pursue a bachelor's. Contrast that with an associates in English however....
even then you would top out on a pay scale due to not enough education typically. While yes there are small niche jobs as a whole the associates degree is not valued. It's more so a half way mark paper lol.
An English degree is great if you want to travel the world.
Actually with my Associate Degree I became a Registered Nurse. At our states community college system, every associate degree program leads directly to a job and a profession. I went way on but got my start with my associate degree. Sorry, I can't agree with you on this issue, no disrespect intended (I love your TH-cam videos).
I want to become a nurse also..
@@Hatedbyfakesss It is a great profession with amazing opportunities and specialties (if you continue to go to school). It is hard work though.
@@MCMSavedByGraceForever When I was a Corpsman (1965-69) there was a program in the Navy to payed for a BS in Nursing for corpsman.

Eduardo Cardoso thanks man!
Love that you have Jonny Craig in the beginning of your video.
thanks! Wish he would put out more music, but you know his situation.
@@NICKYMGTV dude I'm bummed. He is great with slaves. He is trying to get clean though. That's what matters. Hopefully he puts some stuff out soon. Maybe a solo project or something.
Is this a bachelors degree? If so, does it mean you can finish your bachelor's degree online in just 2 YEARS?
no it will still be 4 years
@@NICKYMGTV how come u said that u finished urs from summer of 2014 to 2016?
Easier said than done
Yeah, but you cannot commission with an Associates Degree.
Crystal Evans commission like a rank
So associates don't count ?
Bachelors is the only way to be commissioned
Going for my bachelor
What degree did you get ??
Working on my masters now for Healthcare administrator.
Awesome congrats!
Let me tell you how I got a college degree while in the military: I got out.
That's great for you ,but that's not happening if you have a maintenance job in the ARMY 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I'm 31
ddiazmtz how is it going with your experience ?
you never said what degree you got? was it bachelors/associates? also what major/concentration? if you purposely didnt tell us these details thats cool, i respect ur privacy;)
UMassForTrump I have a bachelors for health care administration. They are part of the medical service corps. I'm also applying for physician assistant this year.
NICKY MGTV OHH SHOOT, lieutenant Nicky, atta boy!! Congrats for getting your degree while on AD! make JT look like a lazy college kid 😬
UMassForTrump he just had different goals. He also had two deployments in that time so it's understandable. Being a flight deck aviation job is one of the places I can understand someone not go mg to school because they have long days.
NICKY MGTV oh ya i was being sarcastic, he's a really hard worker imo!
NICKY MGTV is everyone in the military as cool and passionate as you & JT? because if so, i feel like i would make good friends while serving. going to serve for other reasons but just curious if you and JT are what the typical service member is like, ik u said vloggers in the military are the exception, im curious more about personality and caring about others
Time for me to get back in the Navy...this guy is embarrassing the Navy with that shirt and haircut. Not in my Navy!!!! 😀
Give me my retirement check and you can come back any day.
