I wish I would have had this resource as a new Sailor to understand the military breakdown. Great job on provided detailed and accurate descriptions better than any PS working in ADMIN I ever knew !!! No doubt in my mind if chose the Navy as a career you would be a Chief or an Officer very quickly. With respect and admiration, GMC(SW/EXW/PJ) USN, Retired
HB I’m a dentist in Brazilian navy and what you said about the amount of money you can make outside the military is also true in Brazil. Dentists and physicians for example make almost 3 times their paycheck in the navy. And I should confess that is a hard decision deciding stay in the navy. You should love your job and your country, otherwise you’ll give up. But I stayed and I don’t regret. Actually I’m proud to be here. Thank you for your videos. Keep it up!
Thanks! Duty to the country is more important than mere money, but hey people will make the decisions they consider the best for themselves, or for what they care about. You've made the more noble choice!
As an old man I tell young people that if they join the military and are in for 20 years that they can retire with half pay and get 2 payshecks rest of life like if they were making 50k they could get 25k but i tell them to do their own research Now I hear even army reserve get this but then again look into it.
Thanks for the great video! Odd but serious question. Where are you supposed to *Netflix and chill * *** 🎉 with women if you live in the barracks? I have a very active dating life as a civilian and this is a big deal breaker for me here. Am I allowed to do it in the barracks or am I gonna get noise complaints? I don’t want to spend all of my money on hotels just to have my needs met.
Correction to your video…anything with “pay” is taxable. Base pay, sea pay, hardship duty pay. Everything with “allowance” is not taxable. Clothing, BAH, BAS, family separation allowance.
@@HaedenBeck Yeah, that’s why I said correction to your video. You said the ONLY THING TAXABLE IS BASE PAY. Which is wrong, so I provided further information.
Are you satisfied with your pay? Im 20 years old joining for one enlistment to get college benefits and the opportunity to travel and learn a valuable skill. But the pay seems good for my age with not much experience considering that most expenses are paid for already by the Navy.
Absolutely. In a few months in the Navy I far surpassed the paycheck size of my last job that took 7 years to build up. The bigger difference though is that in the civilian world over half my pay went to bills like rent and stuff but here I'm able to save almost all of my pay. If you're coming for college benefits, travel, and skills, it's definitely a great stepping stone and you can save some money along the way if you play your cards right. Best of luck!
@@James-hs1eq so i did 1 contract and am trying to actually reenlist. But the alot of people think the pay is horrible, but what do you have to pay for? A phone bill really is all. They give food, medical and everything. Especially being young and taking the benefits for education is worth it because 4 years isn’t anything
@@anthonysequeira8448 That's good to hear! I browse on the Navy subreddit sometimes and a lot of servicemembers complain that the pay isn't enough so that got me a bit concerned. I know the pay isn't the best, but it seems decent enough if all the benefits are taken into consideration. Plus I'm doing this more for getting experience and skills than money at my age.
@HaedenBeck so your not in Bahrain anymore? Thanks for the reply. I'm looking to join the Navy as a Master in Arms. So I've been binge watching your videos.
My big mistake was not keeping life insurance when I left so I know you think you do not need it when your 18 but I have to pay now for something I should have gotten free when you are 18 you do not thin k like your foolish mistake I would be a millionaire today but made that big mistake
@@HaedenBeck Are you married you need insurance now! Ins is for your family for burying My biggest mistake (can not remeber name) Slvi something from the nave or military oh how foolish that i did not get it for free when I had that opportunity maybe it was low cost I was 19 I believe fool!
@@HaedenBeck I like you posts I think you have yourself squared away or the right mindset especially for a young man I want to tell you 1 important piece of advice that is you have time on your side get in on a winning streak early if you knew your team would win 10 in row just double after each win start with $10 then double to $20 all the way to $5250 see if you knew you would start very early My POINT TIME IS GREAT FOR COMPOUNDING Interest! And time goes by fast start now do not procrastinate try to do 20 years its like two paychecks get insurance and save 10% geta mutual fund or the credit union do not touch Time goes quickly
@@HaedenBeck I smoked we had coke and smoke breaks I finally quit I wish I never started smoking wish I had bought life ins wish I had saved 10% I did listen when stepdad told me not to get tattoo
@@HaedenBeckno way a E6 is making 9.000 a month gross even in a tax free place. I have seen some of your utube videos some of the info you put out is wrong, I not sure how long you have been in the navy.
@@RodneyDempsey-o8w As an E4 making $3,000 a month is it really a surprise an E6 is making $9,000? Not really. The bulk of it is OHA and base pay, but add on all the money that would be usually taken for taxes and BAS and stuff. My first classes told me what they made, my chief told me what he made. Even the second classes were pulling bank. In my own case my pay dropped like 30% when I went to my next command.

Like and subscribe if you found this useful, and feel free to leave any questions you have. :)
When I went in the navy I got 130 dollars a month of but that was in the 70's you get sea pay depend on time at sea
This actually helped me understand my questions thank you sir. Made my choice even easier.😊
This video makes me miss being in. It's difficult out here in the civilian world, haha.
Yeah that's what made me join. Best of luck out there.
They need to give you an allowance for a cut my guy 💈

I'm 19 and joining the Navy this year, I'm going to Bootcamp in winter, but I don't know any of these. How am I gonna acquire them?
Most come automatically, and for others you'll provide documents to your admin department so that you'll be paid the benefits you deserve.

Now that's an interesting question. People do all of their leisure activities in barracks rooms.
Correction to your video…anything with “pay” is taxable. Base pay, sea pay, hardship duty pay. Everything with “allowance” is not taxable. Clothing, BAH, BAS, family separation allowance.
I said the only thing taxable is the base pay, not any allowances. Thanks for the clarification.
@@HaedenBeck Yeah, that’s why I said correction to your video. You said the ONLY THING TAXABLE IS BASE PAY. Which is wrong, so I provided further information.
@@ae5646 Ah alright, thanks.👍
Hey being in the reserves where is drill tooken place at which country ? And also do your family have to move or could
If you're reserves you go to boot camp and A school like a regular recruit and then your career splits off from the active duty experience.

im here in late july 2024. you live in the middle east?
I already left.

@@nottherealclarkkent2766 Nope. Yeah sure, hope I've been helpful!

I just went without insurance as a civilian because I couldn't afford it. The military gave me insurance and it's not bad at all.

He is lieing e6 isn’t getting paid 9,000$ a month do ur research lol
Bahrain is a tax free zone, and with separation pay, OHA, etc. it's $9,000 a month gross pay.
