Before you join the navy, get on a ship and see if you get seas sick. Before you join the army, get in a car and see if you get car sick. Before you join the marine corp walk 20 miles and see if you just plain out get sick. before you join the air force try sitting in a chair for 8 hours and see if you get sick of it.
Lol
Ship? Done; not sick. Car? Done; not sick. Walk 20 miles? Huffing and puffing just thinking about it. Chair for 8 hrs? Sign me up! Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂 classic
army the only place you feel like you gonna get crush just by riding in the back of a truck
It’s been my plan to join the navy since highschool. I took the test and I failed and lost All my motivation and did not continue the plan. Fast forward to 6 years later, here I am now 26 years old and redirected back to my old plan and now I am shipping out in 30 days! Best decision I’ve ever made! HOOYAH!!
My experiences aren’t the same as yours but the military definitely provides experiences you can’t get anywhere else. That’s facts
Yes sir! It’s definitely a wild ride.
Not all experiences are good experiences
@@andrewschumacher8097 😱😱🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@shmo5150 Not to say the military can be worth it in the long run but with some of the experiences I've had shipwise I cannot say I would consider reenlistment. I am thankful for joining though(even with all the bad things)
@@andrewschumacher8097 that’s the spirit.
Thx for the video the military content community is very helpful your videos make a difference
So true men, Keep spreading the facts!!
preciate that boss!
that’s perspective, facts!! great vid brotha🇺🇸
Thanks my dude 💯
Well in 2023 I’ve been feeling so down about a bunch of things in my life. My job wage. The same thing day in and day out. So I just applied and hope I get some word back soon. I’ve worked on cruise ships so the seasickness doesn’t scare me at all. I love adventure and to be able to have a long lifetime career is definitely my goal. I’m looking for some direction and guidance too. I think the navy can be all of those things for me. Thanks so much for this information video!
It’s a pleasure!!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Yes of course!
24 and about to speak to a navy recruiter in a month or so after my vacation. Joining the USNR 🙏 thank you for the informative video. Hooyah navy!
That first reason is my Main reason, thank you sir
I’m shipping out in 2 days here we go!
I freaking love your vids man 🙏
Thanks my dude 🙌🏼
I'm going into the Marines but i like that this guy is trying to get people to recruit
;)
Interesting.... thank you for sharing this video.
Of course! 😎
MA3 here yes, you’re right I haven’t traveled a whole lot but job security, benefits, discounts, friends, experiences, on the job training you can’t beat it. If life were easy everything would be boring, enjoy this unique experience. I can assure you guys that you will look back and talk about the navy.
Was in the coast guard loved it
Love your videos! I keep up the good content 🤙
Thanks buddy!
I just want a purpose and feel proud of what I’m doing and have that relieving feeling of I’m doing something that matters and not wasting time
You can find it there!!!
❤
Good stuff. I love your perspectives! Nice to see a Sailor giving different perspectives out there! I want to make a video and add to this one day…when are you going to make another one?
I appreciate that. But regarding another one involving the navy I won’t be. I chose to pursue the civilian sector. I highly recommend you add on to it!!!! Make it yours, and bring outsiders to a good understanding of the inside.
I hope you get to see more than Bahrain and Dubai. On my deployment we stopped in Duqm, Oman 3 times in a row. Spain and Hawaii were cool though.
I hope so too 🙌🏼😭
This vid might blow up. Good work fam.
I believe it will 🙌🏼💯 thanks G
So interesting vlogs keep it up
Salute to all navy
Thank you!! 😎😎😎
Fair winds and Following seas !!
Sounding like a true recruiter, go do a shore duty in the states lmao. Fr tho keep up the grind we need more military TH-camrs
👀💯
You probably get this a lot but what if I’m scared to join ?? Mainly , because of my anxiety. I have had struggles with anxiety going back to 3rd grade from as far as I remember. I’m 25 now. And every now and then I still have those days or moments. I want to join , because I want to grow. For security for myself and my daughter. And I’m just not happy here where I’m working and have been for the past 6 years. I feel like this can’t be the only thing that’s for me. Like I should be doing something bigger than myself. Helping people has always been a passion of mine too. But it’s just the anxiety things. I mean here when I have anxiety moments I learned to do certain things , even like take a lunch break and take a moment for myself to calm down if I needed to. Idk how it’ll be in the military life
At some point you can’t let fear dictate your future. Fear holds us back from the greatest opportunities life can give us. You’ve told me you have learned how to cope with anxiety when it kicks in, which means if it ever came up during your time in the military then you’ll know how to combat it. You’ve probably heard this before but we were all created with a purpose. To get out there and do big things. You know that because you’ve been feeling it for the past 6 years!!! You just have to take that leap of faith. Worst thing that could happen is the military denies your application for some reason which isn’t the end of the world. You have a passion somewhere inside you, you can chase. If the military works, they can help you with your anxiety. Best of luck to you partner 💯
Dude just do it.. I’m prior service Army, reenlisting to the Navy.. basic training is not that bad..
The #5 really is my reason why I Will join the Navy. I just wanna secure my future and my Kids future.
Benefits and travel were my top reasons
I’m subscribed!!!
You a real one 💯
Number 1 did it. Been ready to leave North Carolina graduated june their gonna get me a waiver for my hand tat it’s up, 27 days sober off weed rn just few more weeks. Gotta raise my Asvab score only had 19 got a big ass Asvab for dummies but i dont feel it’s helping
My dad had it tough. Enlisted in Jan 1942 . Served 22yrs Navy ,3 of which was in South Pacific theater of war . The Korean War , Cuban Missile Crisis. So now my daughter will carry the spirit of her grandfather. She is not escaping home, but leaving to come back home more prepared to be a stronger woman .
I really want to join but sadly Im on medication so im going to try and get off of it so next year I can enlist! Im thinking of Diving but I have heard its a lot of lot of physical work but I love swimming and going underwater
I really hope your situation works out and you do what you want! That’s awesome. Diving is cool!
Good video bro. I’m joining
my dawg! good choice
Can’t wait to go to the navy after high school this year
💯💯💯
Hey man Thanks for making this video! it was very informative. I had a quick question, What was your experience joining with glasses? I also wear glasses and was worried it would be super annoying especially during high stress times like bootcamp when you want to make sure not to lose them. Thanks a lot!
Glad you enjoyed! And don’t even worry about your glasses, that was my concern in the beginning too and it’s not like they dislike people with glasses hah! Everything works out just fine wearing glasses and they take care of us. When it comes to the pool portion it will be ok, they have you tuck your glasses into your shorts and I promise you won’t lose them, trust the process and your RDC’s
I’m planning on going to Seattle and joining the navy after my family moved to Denmark from there. I don’t really like it here and I thought about joining even when I lived in the States but now I’ve made up my mind and I’m flying next month
Very smart decision 🔥🙌🏼
It’s so easy right now to get any contract you want, the navy is in such a need for people right now.
Yeah but they have so many stipulations. I passed the asvab, passed my medical and everything in meps and still have to wait because of the tattoos on my neck. America 🇺🇸 is funny bro
Good video, you will be a good Navy recruiter one day
I appreciate that my man
As a janitor, I worked more than I ever have during Covid. 80-90 hours per week. On a few occasions I did 108.
Thank you for these very helpful information. Well explained. If I may ask please, What is your rank and what is your rate (Job) in the Navy?
Im an e4 and my rate is personnel specialist (PS)
Was thinking when I saw the thumbnail... Do I know that guy?
Then you said Bahrain. I definitely have seen you before!
I used to see you everywhere! Haha hope you’re doing well 💪🏼
@@shmo5150 it's a small Navy. Until next time. Keep your channel active, make a name for yourself.
Visited Pear Harbor today. I turn 18 I’m off to the navy.
Going into the office tomorrow now that I’ve been told my hands Tats are ok 🤣
heading off to basic at 23 a month after college graduation and i consider it something that will be more educational and beneficial than college ever was
You made the right decision! You will definitely find that the military is far more beneficial
@@shmo5150
I took the picat exam when I didn't felt ready scored a 44, but was not satisfied with the rates except pr and cs. So I decided to take the asvab and unfortunately scored lower and now I'm told I can't take the asvab until 3 years from now. If I would have scored higher I would have given the chance to request, but this is what I qualified for
PR
BM
AO
ABH
ABF
ABE
You think those are OK. I know PR is good, but the other is hard labor don't want to be drenched in oil. What do you think. The only way I could join is buy picking 5 job rates.
Just subscribed! I have MEPs on Monday. Wish me luck y'all :)
Ayyyyyye okay okay!!! Once you get through MEPs everything will start happening so fast. Good luck to you 🤩
@@shmo5150 thank you so much!! I’m so excited and nervous, but overall ready for this next chapter of my life!
@@edithGRAND 🇸🇻 All the way let’s goo!!!!! You’ll do great
I just passed physical at meps gonna to navy qualified for everything except nuke cause I’m 34
@@MrRandyMarsh1 what a beast!!
I've been looking into the navy bc cyber security and I want to do my dream career and navy offers me those benefits I need but I'm scared to sign then be a disappointment to my parents bc I'm just trying do what's best for my future
The only person who knows what’s best for you is you. Don’t live others peoples lives. Do what you know in your heart is the right thing to do. The life experience the Navy gives you is unmatched.
number 1 is my number 1 reason for going to the navy
You don't get to feel homesick or miss family members? If so how do you cope with the problem?
I quit army bct a week before I was done. And i tried going back cause i regretted it. But i cant so I'm trying to go navy
I would love to join the Navy only problem is that I'm 39 so I have now til July 19 also problem I'm having that I'm working hard to lower my waist line and my waist line is about 41 my Navy Recruiter told me I need to be at least waist line 39 under I feel like it's to late for me time is running out.
Hello! I am a reserve in South Africa but planning to join US Navy
Shipping out very soon as a YN wish me luck
Gl
I get motion sickness very easily so I would never join the Navy, but I ended up in the Navy. I was drafted. This was back in !955. Luckily, I was stationed at NAS Pensacola.
Good for you!! 💯💯
Contributing to the Thrift Savings Plan is another reason.
Not me watching navy videos rn cuz my grandma thinks I should join the navy👁️and my cousin said I should join the military...currently struggling to figure out what I want to do after high school plus the military keeps coming to my mind
If you don’t have a solid plan after high school besides the military, then I think the military is the greatest option. You’re taken care of 100% and all you got to do is go to work 😎 you can pursue college at the same time while it’s being paid for. Afterwards the benefits you have are indescribable
I can’t hear anymore and my back and knees are fucked. Join today!
😂 it’s what you make of it 😛
If I wasn’t dumb for the asvab the navy probably be the opportunity for me, plus I have a hand tattoo and heard there the only branch that allows it. Unless the Navy can just except me in knowing I’ll get my shit done in there.
My dumbass signed the ARNG contract without looking at my options but just wanna see what lies beyond the army after this contract. Plus your OCPs go hard
You’ll be alright 💪🏼 and heck yea they’re nice. I do wish they kept the blue camo.
Might be a stupid question but in the navy do you have to jump off a plane?
I have some scars on my body. Don’t know if I will be qualify to join the navy. My recruiter ask me about my scars and I did some research about it. It’s called keloid scar. My recruiter Throught I was a gang member or something lol.
Good luck
I want to join and I’m 17 but my grandmother doesn’t want to sign papers because the tension in the pacific
You can sign for yourself once you’re 18. ;) Control your own destiny!!
I understand how a parental influence can be stressful but trust you will be fine. I agree with the above comment. It is YOUR LIFE! Grandma has already lived her life.
I have a different issue, actually I am indian and of course live in india but I am so obsessed with American navy that I am willing to join it. So would I be able to join it. Also that I am 21 currently. Please tell me
I'm 23, and want to join the US Navy but I'm not US citizen and I don't have a Greencard. is there any solution for me?
Previously I had tried several times to enlist in the army in my country but failed because I had to pay a lot of money.
Please help me, thank you for ur attention sir.
I lowkey might be joining cause I don’t really have a plan after high school and plus all the other branches aren’t for me
Ayyye. Well then there you go!!!! The greatest way to start.
@@shmo5150 yea I’m just out of shape after I’ve been hurt for over a year it was a horrible injury but I have around 2.5 years before I can enlist but idk man
Hi, I hope I ll txt you back soon . I watched your video. Sounds really good, my son who is about finishing HS soon told me about this Navy programs . I just a little bit confused. But i don’t what to do with my son request to join the Navy.. I just confused. 😢. Txt you soon
Oki i need someone to reply to me that is in or ex navy cause so far my situation right now is that im doing terrible in college and the career im wanting to do and so far im going to back out right now in college and join the military to get restart in life and to better myself as a person and come back to that career when i finish up. im thinking navy cause i love the ocean, i love ships, my father was in the navy and so far is my only source to talk to and i want help in know why should i right now pick the navy cause ive heard alot of bad things like mostly terrible leader ship so i hope i can get some insight on this decision
my 100% committed plan is going to the coast guard once i graduate this year. does anyone have any reason i should pursue navy instead?
Too bad I can’t join but I would show someone this video
My dawg!! I appreciate that.
Hi sending you my full support new friend from soulcai vlogs see you around😊
Thats awesome! ❤️ Thank you!!
My best friend join last year hes on the boat in California I hope to see him again it's hard to keep in touch with him
its a beautiful thing! hang in there bud.
The military gives you free college
That's cool
Got to pay my court ticket and I can get in
I'm 24. Really motivated to join the Navy. Been in the US for two and a half years and the only problem is I still don't have a green card so I am not eligible as far as I have sone my research. There is a program called MAVNI but unfortunately it's been cancelled since Trump administration. Is there any other way that I can join? Thanks a lot for the video.
My dad is in the Navy and is stationed in Bahrain currently
Your dad is awesome
@@shmo5150his name is Gary Balsamo were you stationed with him?
@@anthonybalsamo5372 I don’t know him. But if he’s in the navy and in Bahrain he’s awesome.
Why you should join the Military:
If you work at a dead end job, living paycheck to paycheck, bored in your current living situation, 21+ and still lives with your parents depending for their support day-to-day basis, plenty of opportunities after service, military discounts, VA health, dental, vision benefits, VA loans (possibly the lowest APR: home, auto, etc…) and most importantly. Married or have a family, why? You may get a lot more money towards your salary for Basic Housing Allowance.
Edit: RETIRE AFTER 20 YEARS OF SERVICE. That’s right. Lifetime pension and other benefits!
I am currently 34 years old, almost 35 with a college degree. I am looking to join the Navy. Would you recommend going the officer route? Is that looked favorably upon? Thanks!
Yes ,you should 100% go officer.
You can become a officer 34?
how did this turn out? im 35 national guard prior service and thinking to do the reserves
If you do. Just know you won’t be as respected compared to enlisted who’ve been in for years compared to you. I’m still relatively new but from what I’ve heard from my command and time in bootcamp that’s how they feel.
Go officer Enlisted sucks especially with pay
💪🏽💪🏽
Ayyyyyye my dawg welcome back 😎✅
I’m 27 and shipping to boot camp May 5th as a YN 🇺🇸⚓️
Ayyyyyye my dawg!!!! Good luck to you. Maybe I’ll see you out here in Bahrain 😎
@@shmo5150 Appreciate it fam 🙏. Yesssir haha that’s actually one of the duty stations I was going to write for my “dream sheet” along with San Diego and Hawaii. Just subscribed to your channel man look forward to seeing your content. What rate are you? Any tips for an older recruit ? 😆
@@davidcardenas3315 Bahrain is freaking beautiful and the money is better than any other duty station 😤💯 I appreciate the support! I’m a PS! Your counterpart! You’ll work with some of us in the fleet and go to the same A school. You’re still very young in my eyes. Just do what you’re told and do your best to outperform others. That’s how you make it in these streets ✅
@@shmo5150 Yea the country looks amazing 😍 it’d be nice to get get stationed there. How does the money differ from being at another duty station? Is the COL low or something? No problem man 😎 Yeahhh Admins 👌 How did you like Meridian? I hear it’s the worst A School you can be at 😆 I think the base is still closed so you can’t go into town? Will definitely do man! I’m aiming to leave boot camp as an E-3.
@@davidcardenas3315 Out here you get 3 extra pays that double what you’d get anywhere else in the states. Other overseas locations have extra pay as well but doesn’t add up to what you’ll get here. Meridian was awesome for me. I got to experience the summer/rainy cold months and I met some very very cool people. I won’t lie to you, I never went out in town once except to get my passport haha. On base had everything I needed. It’s such a cool environment there that differs so much from California. Screw what other people say. Go there with a positive attitude and you’ll love it.
How bout joining at 30 with a family ?
I cut 90ibs in 6months, just to get my Waiver denied by both the Army and Navy
I'm thinking about going into the Naval Reserves...
Good for you!!! You’re still in the navy to me 😎
I need to get a good asvab score I’m ass at tests. I want to join the navy possibly the army. Are the jobs in the navy higher asvab scores then other branches?
Not really. It’s only certain jobs that require you to get a certain score. That goes for both branches.
Do you see more people at an older age joining as of recent? I’m going in at 28 and I feel as if I’m going to be the oldest one there.
I was surprised to see a lot of older people joining. Being 28 isn’t even a bad start either. As soon as I got to my first command I realized there were a lot more older people in. It’s not completely overtaken by 18 year olds.
@@shmo5150 That makes me feel better about going in at an older age. Awesome thank you for replying!
28 isn’t that old. I’ve seen older people enlist. You should have an advantage over the 18yr olds assuming you’ve learned to be self managed and responsible.
I don't want any friends in the military 😒 i don't like people
I’m currently 34 and I was sworn in last week. Age 39 is the deadline. Go for it if it is what you truly want. Make sure you prepare for MEPS, that process can be tedious. Good luck.
I'm 29 and I wanna join. I have 3 kids. I will miss my kids if I join. But I think they will benifit from that. Its a tought choice
I’m in the same boat and I’m 35! I’m married with one son and my father lives with me. I’m totally wanting to go because I know it’ll benefit us all in some way. Always wanted to serve.
You can join that late ?
Forged by the sea. 🌊 ⚓ 🌊
Forged by the Land 😎
@@shmo5150 you can't be you're a squid not a the army. 😎 we've better
Do they trip if you smoked weed?
I am 23 years old, I have members in my family who have joined the navy and didn't regret it at all. I trust there advice especially with GI bill and free education opens a whole world of potential. I had always bounced back and forth between joining, my question is. Is it too late for a 23 year old to still join? Some people told me that a very late start
There are 30 year olds that join and become successful. You are literally at the perfect age. Take a risk and do what you know is right!!
Hell no 23 is not too old. Most the guys I know from highschool didn't enlist until 22- 25. You being 23 can be out before your 30s.
Trust me im 28 and I absolutely regret it.
No it isn’t. It’s one of those things where you’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t do it. I don’t regret it at all, but wasn’t for me to do long term.
Dude I’m 30 and thinking about joining. I think the age cut off is like 40. I wouldn’t have done well in the navy while I was younger but now I feel more ready than ever.
do you have to be vaccinated?!
I'm thinking bout joining but I'm 37
I want to join the navy as an electrical engineer, but I don’t know if there is anything for me in the Navy.
I promise. You will find something! There is truly something for everyone, it took me a while to find mine but we all will.
I'm 20 years old and I'm joining the military but I'm not going to stay that long I'll probably stay until I'm 29 and then leave so i can get married with my girlfriend i told her that if she comes we could get married on base
He’s not she coming to my pad go marines
24yrs old and I’m considering joining the Navy? I have strong work ethic 💪🏼 one thing is to find something meaningful in my life that’s it.
Absolutely great choice my man. You will Not regret it.
I'm 24 too. Just joined. Shipping in less than 20 days.
@@nightlysings8791 great decision 👏🏼
Which careers do you recommend on the navy ?
pick something you'll be passionate about. the last thing you want to do is choose a rate that you're not comfortable with. search "navy cool" on google and click on "rating" at the top. it gives you a whole list of every rate in the navy. look through those and see which category best suits you.
2:31 lol
I'm thinking about joining navy but I heard I won't be able to meet my family for a long long time often. I want to confirm if that's true
Part of it is true, if you end up being stationed on a ship, you will do something called deployments. Those usually are more than 4 months out to sea. Although, if you are stationed anywhere else besides the ship, you will have plenty of opportunities to request to see your family.
im canadian i already decided to join the canadian army im debating which branch to join
Hope you see this my guy. I’ve wanted to join military since I was a child. Once I was older , i smoked weed all the time. To this day I have my med card and I still smoke. The only issue is leaving my grandmother and my brother. I’m not addicted to anything and I work out 4/7 days of the week. What are some things to work out in the gym , some things to practice and things to help think when I’m not sure it’s a good idea
That’s cool bud, do what you gotta do for your family, cuz once you’re in the military, that’s a luxury you don’t get to have most the time. I personally enjoy running, it’s such a great way to get your mind off things. It helps clear up any unneeded thoughts and help you realign yourself. Literally anything in the gym is great, good way to start is by using the machines and slowly going heavy to start building yourself.
@@shmo5150 thank you I appreciate you responding
is it worth it if you don’t plan on going to college afterwards 🤔
Yes
When I was at Meps I picked Advanced Electronics Computer Field and I hope I picked the right career for 6 years 🤞🏼
i dont know much about that rate, but i hope it serves you well.
AECF is one of the better rates, you either get ET or FC. You can’t really choose between them cuz it’s all about the needs of the navy.
@@shmo5150 what’s ur rate? I’m going in as an IT
@@lablabdog PS 👏🏼
@@shmo5150 I can see why u like the navy lol. Is there really a difference between PS and YN?
I wanted to join but i’m fat🙁
Does the Navy have a 🌈 ship, fleet, or flotilla? Does the Navy make accommodations for this?
No DOOKIE LOVE🥴
