you can become an officer through enlistment. there is something called a chief warrant officer that can only be obtained by ascending through the enlisted ranks
I went in at at 25 and was one of the older guys in boot camp and that was the case until I got out into the fleet. I had gone to college first. I didn't like the jobs I got out of college and had a hard time dealing with 9 to 5. So I joined the Navy with the intent of eventually applying to OCS.I got tons of technical training in the Navy. I liked it but the civilian world again became appealing to me. So I did 6 years mostly at sea. Turned down shore duty and a $40k bonus to take a civilian job at a Fortune 500 tech company. It was easy to do with my Navy tech skills and excellent Navy job evaluations and with a degree in hand I was set.In summary, in many situations being a little older is good in the military. Just make sure that your time spent is spent wisely. Get all of the training and education that you can. Work for top job evals and reviews. I nailed a perfect 4.0 everytime in the Navy and now I do the same in the civilian world.
Just turned 23, thinking about joining. I thought about joining when I was around 18-19 but backed out. I felt like it was a burden. My mind was worried about my friends and all kinds of nonsense. I was still a kid. As you get older reality settles in and you start to feel the struggle. I see alot of kids joining and their still in that mind set and it seems like their just worried about getting out. Something to think about. When your a little older I think you would take more advantage. By doing that you would learn more which you can take back to your civilian life if you choose.
Yeah man, I'm 22 now and joining. I personally love going in a little older because I feel like I have more experience, and the whole process feels much less intimidating as a young adult than if I were still in my late teens. He's right about that free education. It's legit. Great video, Yoon
I'm joining after this summer and will be 22 as well. I feel the same about being older going in and having a different perspective about it all. Good luck!
+Rachel Nilsen 22 here, i heard joining www.njrotc.navy.mil/host_schools.html NJROTC will get you automatically in E3 its for highschool students primarily but im in college & hope to take it before joining & bootcamp & all that jazz hope it helps u both who are 22
+ms&mrreckoning I believe that you have to go through the ROTC program in college, the JORTC is for juniors only (i.e., highschool students). ROTC is tricky to apply for. I looked into it. But if you find a way to do either JROTC or ROTC definitely do it if you have time. They are both multi-year programs I believe, so it is something that takes time, but if you can do it you should (:
The one advantage, of waiting at least a year after finishing high school to enlist is life experience even if just a year. Many who join the military just out of high school, think they made a mistake, because life is better on the outside, or the "grass is greener on the other side of the fence". Those who wait for at least a year, have no such illusions.
I think the age you should join is if you seem mature for whatever age you are. I joined at 22 and I had no problem dealing with it. I couldn't handle it right out of high school and was glad I waited.
Good advice!! I am joining the Army Reserves at age 30 I wish i have had the chance to join in my early 20s but i did not have the chance to do so at the time due to my legal status, just obtained my green card last year at age 29 and for me its a dream coming to reality i cant wait for all the opportunities and experiences that this will bring, i remember applying when i was 19 and receiving a letter of rejection due to my legal status at the time.. but i never lost hope, and i do believe that at my age i have experience many life situations and have gone thru some hard times that have help me mature and appreciate opportunities to the fullest. I think age is just that, and what really matters is your drive and determination, good luck.
I really enjoyed your insight on knowing when to join the Navy. I joined right out of high school at 18. I'm getting close to retirement (08) and will be retiring when I'm 38. While in, I was able to get my Navy COOL certifications, USMAP certs, Associates and Bachelors Degrees all paid for starting when I first came in. It took me almost 15 years to get my BA degree because of the constant deployments, getting married, having kids, unpredictability and nature of my job. I picked up real quick from E-1 to E-6 in 8 years, scoring perfect 80s on my advancement exams, however I got stuck at E-6, probably will retire as an E-6 too which isn't a bad thing and the pay is better than livable. With my technical expertise, I'm pretty much locked in for a good job when I get out. If money is what drives you, go officer. At your rating, you'll be able to make Chief with your eyes closed as long as you take on the hard jobs outside of your job.
Right after high school is the best way to join (but that's just my opinion), if you are mature about it (which is a big IF for most 18-19 year olds). Life experience as a civilian is a good point, however, to make in appreciating the things that the Navy provides, which you mentioned. Most people that I knew on the ship that were around my age (18-19ish) did not maximize on the college opportunities like the SOCNAV (or NAVSOC agreement, I forgot which), but a few of us actually did including myself and it was worth getting the A.S. degree in my first term of service before I decided to get out and go a four year university while being inactive.
thank you for the information I'm actually 32 years old and it wasn't until two months ago that I decided that the finally joining the military is going to be the best decision I have made ever in my life. I'm currently doing the paperwork to join the ARMY.
I have been in college for two years and I felt have wasted two years of my life and I need stability and discipline. I also want to join and after I get out start my career as a firefighter I'm currently 20
Just joined the military at 23 years young. Between 18 and 23 I had fun, traveled, partied, and learned life lessons. I don’t think I could have joined at 19 I was too immature. Seen things that I wanted to see and did things I wanted to do. Visited San Fran, NYC, London.
I'm joining fresh out of high school and I plan on grasping all those opportunities you say :) I kinda know the struggles of civilians because I see it with my friends and I experienced it a bit but I'll take your opinion into account more and try even harder when I get to boot camp.
I enjoy your videos. I have a few questions, I have a B.A in accounting (I hate it) but sadly i have less than a 2.5 gpa so I was thinking about going in as enlisted since officer is out of the question and try to get a technical job. Should I find a technical job (prob computers) and then use the tuition benefits to get a degree from that?
Can you give me a description of the red/green color blind test? What it’s like how the set up is etc do they change the test a lot & what’s your advice for someone who has a mild red/green color blindness can you still pass or no? Or can you find a way to cheat 👀 etc
Hey brother I'm almost 27 and I'm joining national guard so I loved your advice it inspiring me to eventually do it. But tell me if I still have time to go to college and get criminal Justice career meanwhile I'm in service with them.
im 19 and i want to become a marine but my mom doesnt want me to leave for no reason at all. i should have left when i graduated high school because i now weigh 220 pounds and im far out of range from my maximum weight standard so now i have a lot to work on.
Sister and Friends tell me I should join right after high school while in college because they pay for college. I'm still a bit confused. If I have scholarships and money to pay for college I may reconsider going into the military. When I first told my sister about joining the military she told me she doesn't think the military is for me.. But I'm still considering, obviously. Really want to do this. You'll never know for sure if it's for you unless you go in and try it. I'm not letting that bring me down because I know if I listen to the few people that were against it, I may dislike them (for that) because I didn't get to do what I wanted. Well now, my family supports whatever decision I make which is really helpful to me. I think I may join right after highschool with my parents permission because I will not be 18, thanks for your videos, wish me luck!
I'm 16 and I want to do Navy reserve or Air Force reserve to get my degree and then fully enlist as an officer. I believe that for Navy you have to be 18 or sumn?? I know that for Air Force you can be 17. I hope to graduate this year before I turn 17.
I was thinking of joining back when I was 18 but I wanted to experience "life" a little after high school and I'm now going to be turning 22 in January and I personally feel like now is the time to join
i know you posted this 1 year ago man.. but how are you right now? how did things go after one year? I'm literally in the exact situation you describe in this comment. 22 right now. Wanted to experience more " life " after highschool and chase some dreams. Now that i'm 22, i realize the value of hard work, and im much more mature and clear minded than i was back when i was 18.... But at the same time i have some hesitation. Do you feel i should go ahead and bite the bullet and go in now? So i don't end up having the same situation at age 23? Let me know your opinion man when you get the chance
I just turned 18 but I'm kinda hesitant to join the AF because of my weight and height. I'm only like 5'8'' or 5'9'' at 120 lbs. I'm working out a lot and eating as much as I can, but idk why I feel so god damn self conscious.
Im about to turn 23, just graduated and got my college degree in business administration and seriously considering joining either the army or the marines, would you say i have any advantage for having a degree? or the opposite for being older? Thanks in advance.
Yes you do have an advantage. Try and go officer and if you have student loans I think the military has a student loan repayment plan they can offer if you join. Make sure you do your research before you join. Don't just go in as enlisted and pick some random job.
I’m joining at 17 i am 15.5 and I am going for a SO or an option 40 11x contract and before you come at me my pst scores are top 50 right now and I’m an amazing runner and an ok swimmer I just have heart to beat every one of my times every single day
Pro to joining young is you can see the world and still have time to leave the NAVY and start a family early on for woman. Pro to joining old is you wont have a hard time in the civlian woman becuase you already know how how eveything works. You know what to save up for and what not to
Hey yoon, been thinking about the reserves lately, mostly because i do not want to stop going to college all together. Is there really time in active duty to go to school and work?
Honestly being a reservist sounds nice there's a reservist in my division right now and she said she basically gets to pick when she wants to go on deployments or when she wants to come to a naval station to work she only has too work with us for like 2 months then gets to go home
+Anon Some people get stationed in a place where they have a lot of free time to go to school. Some people go straight to deployment and have little to no time for school. It depends on where you get placed.
I'm 21 and married already, love my wife and I'm trying to give her the best I can but could barely manage to make $2,800/month here in California busting my ass. If you live in California you know that's not enough at my age to afford car insurance, health insurance, dental insurance, car payments, a house payment, and other monthly expenses. Sounds like a lot but not really for two people while she is going to school. Sadly, because "I make too much" which is complete bs... she doesn't qualify for help with school so I have to pay it and if we can't afford it then she can't go to school :(. I'm really interested in the benefits but not sure if it is completely worth it
Me too man!!!!!,I'm 30 and signed my navy contract last week,shipping out June 7 and turning 31 at boot camp,not really worry since I work out and I'm in a good shape,wish you the best of luck and work hard to scrape those extra pounds out of you.
+linkavitchC I just graduated 2 weeks ago and wasn't as bad as I though it was gonna be,if you are in good shape and work out regularly you should be fine,the mayor part of bootcamp is getting used to the correction and following instructions exactly as they give them to you,they want you to listen and follow orders if you think you can do that you'll be all right,bootcamp works in a way of molding your brain to the military customs and lifestyle and making you abide by them,for some people is a shock the first week or two they start,forget about phone,laptop,tv,videogames or privacy for 2 months you gonna be isolated from the world living,eating and showering with 80 more people during that time,it can get rough at times but think this way if many people can do it(I did it easily)so can you,good luck.
If you get a bachelor's degree before joining the military, can't you be an officer? Isn't being an officer better than enlisting? Thanks for the video.
I think you can look on the branch's website to see what degrees do certain officers require. I was able to find business degree officers, as well as officers requiring any bachelor's for the air force.
Hey Abin, in my opinion it would really depend. I would say if Navy is a career path then going to college first to join officer would be better. If not, then yes joining out of HS would possibly be a good choice.
Hello, The military offers diverse training and challenges. You will face tasks you are great at and some tasks you will face difficulties. If i understand your question right you are wondering if there is a video that explains the training. I can only speak of enlisted side of things and not commissioned. However, the concept I believe is relatively the same.
I turn 17 in one month, Join the DEP in 5 months, And hopefully ship out in 17 months. I plan on being in the DEP for the entirety of my senior year. I'm really looking forward to it.
19 or 20. Give your self a break after high school and make sure it's what you want. I came in at 19, no regrets.
Thank you I need that I’m currently 19
Joining this year at the age of 32.
Are you going in as an officer?
I have a B.A. and getting my M.A. in August, but I'm thinking of going in as enlisted and working my way up to officer. Either Air Force of Navy.
you cant become an officer as an enlisted.
you can become an officer through enlistment. there is something called a chief warrant officer that can only be obtained by ascending through the enlisted ranks
KingDrudge me to also 32
18... and enjoy it. It's literally one of the best things you can do in life. It will set you up for success throughout your life.
im 21 and you just inspired me to look back into joining
I went in at at 25 and was one of the older guys in boot camp and that was the case until I got out into the fleet. I had gone to college first.

ah right ofc. hence the JO haha
& thank you. it will be a great option, thank you
I joined when I was 27, and it really is a better decision to enlist when you have some life experience on your belt.
this put me in a space of clarity
thank you

Hey Anthony, thank you for stopping by!
I really needed this im 21 about to join the army and i all ways beat myself up and regreted not joining at 18 but everything happens for a reason
Good advice!!

Awesome! I recently met with a retired Army E8. His main lesson in life to me was Discipline.
I'm 25 and thinking about joining
I'm 26 and have been contemplating. Just do it.
Same here. But my only dilemma is now this...Army or Navy?
Phunk Adelic I'm 25 and I leave for basic October 2nd for the army
Abel Ochoa did u ever join?
Trevor Bronkema do it
I have been in college for two years and I felt have wasted two years of my life and I need stability and discipline. I also want to join and after I get out start my career as a firefighter I'm currently 20

Do colledge first so that you at least have colldge credits which helps you go to e3 which is a higher pay grade and plus you get real world experince

i know you posted this 1 year ago man.. but how are you right now? how did things go after one year? I'm literally in the exact situation you describe in this comment. 22 right now.

I just turned 18 but I'm kinda hesitant to join the AF because of my weight and height. I'm only like 5'8'' or 5'9'' at 120 lbs. I'm working out a lot and eating as much as I can, but idk why I feel so god damn self conscious.
My buddy joined at 31 did 20yrs retired. Nvr regretted it...
Joining after one year of college and working at McD and subway. I feel alot more motivated.
I turn 22 in my first week of bootcamp as well. I know exactly what you mean bro.
haha
im 23 and about to join the navy. Im just praying for shore duty, sea duty sounds and looks horrible.
How do you like it so far?
Im about to turn 23, just graduated and got my college degree in business administration and seriously considering joining either the army or the marines, would you say i have any advantage for having a degree? or the opposite for being older? Thanks in advance.
Yes you do have an advantage. Try and go officer and if you have student loans I think the military has a student loan repayment plan they can offer if you join. Make sure you do your research before you join. Don't just go in as enlisted and pick some random job.
I’m joining at 17 i am 15.5 and I am going for a SO or an option 40 11x contract and before you come at me my pst scores are top 50 right now and I’m an amazing runner and an ok swimmer I just have heart to beat every one of my times every single day
Hey Bryce, thank you for the comment. Once you go through the program, would love to connect.
I'm 20 and I want to go in around July.
can u join the navy with a G.E.D because I'm. planning to join when I'm 17 would I be able to give them a G.E.D
at 24 i m going for an officer is correct age or i m little old???
Do I have to be good at English to join US army?
Would it be a good idea to join the army/marines infantry if you have a bad ankle because you broke it while skateboarding?
Illuminaties Pizza Talk to a recruiter, it depends on the injury.
Pro to joining young is you can see the world and still have time to leave the NAVY and start a family early on for woman. Pro to joining old is you wont have a hard time in the civlian woman becuase you already know how how eveything works. You know what to save up for and what not to
Hey yoon, been thinking about the reserves lately, mostly because i do not want to stop going to college all together. Is there really time in active duty to go to school and work?
That's a great question man. I'm still thinking about the same thing. Hope he replys
There is but it gets to be kind of a burden with work and the watches and stuff you just have to be really dedicated to your schooling
Honestly being a reservist sounds nice there's a reservist in my division right now and she said she basically gets to pick when she wants to go on deployments or when she wants to come to a naval station to work she only has too work with us for like 2 months then gets to go home

Like it
Great I'm going to join the army
Do you know how much money I would have if I saved all my money of 4 years of service and do they pay you when youre in reserves
4 years active I would say if you saved 90% each year it would be roughly around 60-70k
Reserves, you get paid only the days you go in for work.
+Yoon Ho Kim what rate is the ship drivers named nd what is needed for that rate?
+Sauce Madrid I think maybe quartermaster for enlisted.
+Sauce Madrid I am not too sure. Ask a recruiter.
+Yoon Ho Kim alright thanks

Gio Flores i live in cali too, and its hard to make it with a wage/salary like that. Which is why im joining.
considering joining the Navy I spoke to a recruiter was told I meet all requirements except I have to lose 17 lbs. I'm 26
Best of luck, keep me posted.
I turn 28 in January, and joining the army.
I'm 17 and plan on joining this year after graduation what you suggest I do before joining
Spend as much time with family as possible. Sell some of your belonging, save money, and start reading books.
So what you're saying is you can't get free education right after high school?
what do you mean
My Birthday is June 3rd to!!!
im 30 and im joining need to lose 5 more lbs
Me too man!!!!!,I'm 30 and signed my navy contract last week,shipping out June 7 and turning 31 at boot camp,not really worry since I work out and I'm in a good shape,wish you the best of luck and work hard to scrape those extra pounds out of you.
im 29 and thinking about joining. doom and yordan, let me know how boot camp goes for you guys.
+linkavitchC I just graduated 2 weeks ago and wasn't as bad as I though it was gonna be,if you are in good shape and work out regularly you should be fine,the mayor part of bootcamp is getting used to the correction and following instructions exactly as they give them to you,they want you to listen and follow orders if you think you can do that you'll be all right,bootcamp works in a way of molding your brain to the military customs and lifestyle and making you abide by them,for some people is a shock the first week or two they start,forget about phone,laptop,tv,videogames or privacy for 2 months you gonna be isolated from the world living,eating and showering with 80 more people during that time,it can get rough at times but think this way if many people can do it(I did it easily)so can you,good luck.
If you get a bachelor's degree before joining the military, can't you be an officer? Isn't being an officer better than enlisting? Thanks for the video.
It has to be a degree in something useful but yes you can. Officer is way better than enlisted. Officer life is nice.
Yeah, I have found officer positions that work with my degree. If I do join, that's the way I'll go. Thanks for answering my question
Would Biology be useless? I think only tech degrees would be really useful.
I think you can look on the branch's website to see what degrees do certain officers require. I was able to find business degree officers, as well as officers requiring any bachelor's for the air force.
don't u think it's better if someone joins the navy straight out of high school so they can get free college instead of paying
Hey Abin, in my opinion it would really depend. I would say if Navy is a career path then going to college first to join officer would be better. If not, then yes joining out of HS would possibly be a good choice.
Soo is bootcamp hard or easy im joining next year
easy
I'm 24 , about to join this year as an officer.and up to which post I can reach if I would do good in each and every training.?
Hello,
The military offers diverse training and challenges. You will face tasks you are great at and some tasks you will face difficulties. If i understand your question right you are wondering if there is a video that explains the training. I can only speak of enlisted side of things and not commissioned. However, the concept I believe is relatively the same.
The military is pretty sweet.
I'm 12 ._. idk why I am watching this video... Well see you in 8 years :D
I did at 17.
Are you currently on active duty?
yes
Im entering at 17

I turn 17 in one month, Join the DEP in 5 months, And hopefully ship out in 17 months. I plan on being in the DEP for the entirety of my senior year. I'm really looking forward to it.
+Clayton DEP only allows Future Sailors to be in DEP for 364 days MAX.

Hey Suemari. You have to be at least 18, or 17 with Parent's permission to join the armed forces.
at 14, you can participate in NJROTC if you school has them or if a club is near by.
+Yoon Ho Kim 김윤호 it's there any for younger kids like boot camps or anything

I do not believe there is a weight limit.
Look into NJROTC and Sea Cadets
