    This guy knows his stuff. People in the military that complain about being paid too little are often the people going out and drinking their money away or paying for a car they don't need. Learn to save a bit. Having a good time is okay, just don't go overboard or you'll have nothing left for real life expenses/ emergencies.

      +Kyle Gott hi Kyle, i am preparing to join the army. and i have seem people got a 6 years reserve contract sometimes. have you seem someone that you know are in the 6 year reserve and still get deploy to active duty later on? I am think either or not I should sign up for 6 year reserve or just go for the 3-4 yrs active duty plus couple years reserve. the main reason that i am joining the army is for the education benefit. Another question is after they finish their active duty part, do people in the reserve still call out for active duty alot? if so how long as you know? thanks

      +samtoo2010 Hey personally I would say go straight into the active duty side. It is alot easier to go active - reserve then from reserve to active. I have been trying to get a release from my unit for a couple months and still nothing. Hope this helps, also I have alot of friends that didnt listen and now regret going reserves.

    Retired military here. Folks put money away/invest from day one if at all possible. I realize it is very difficult not to give in to the immediate gratification of buying the new tech, clothes, car etc but you have to consider your future. Military is not forever whether you stay in 2 - 6 years or retire at 20 -30 years of service. DO NOT put your trust in contract jobs etc and feel safe thinking you'll be making big money anyways. ALWAYS plan for contingencies. Life can throw you a curve and if you have a family it can be an even bigger problem for all involved. I should know..I struggled because i did not listen to the senior folks advising me to save. Don't let that be you people! :)

      @raffy_rodriguez 10 лет назад +4

      ***** Yeah, that's why this video is awesome. I'd like to point out as a subscriber and frequent watcher of your videos that you are one of the very few military RUclipsrs if not the only military YoutTuber who presents relevant lifestyle related information about the military in a palatable form that is diffucult to appreciate via browsing military websites/forumns or reading payscale charts.
      Yes, a person with reasonable intelligence can deduce what their lifestyle will be like soley based on a number representing a monthly pay check, but this video along with your other videos conveys, again, a lifestyle that so many can't picture when they're considering a contractual commitment to one particular branch of the military. This goes way beyond numbers on a spreadsheet and illuminates a complete other dimension of the military that is simply not imaginable to a wide portion of the public including myself.
      As someone without any family members, relatives or friends seeking information on what it is like to join the military, I cannot tell you how difficult it is to find information like this on the internet. People need to be able to relate to someonee in the military to better decide for themselves whether or not the option is right for them.
      That is why I think this channel is having as much success as it is and is why I think you should be really proud of yourself for it. No matter what you think of the military or what the reponsibility of the average serviceman is, everyone should have an informed opinion about what 4-6 years in the military really is like.
      I consider myself different from you in a lot of ways personality wise. I'm a little bit older than you, have much different interests regarding my personal life but I still find the information on this channel to be incredibly useful in my decision making process.

    • @raffy_rodriguez

I think you make the best out of all the other videos I found so far on youtube. The quality of the videos, the information you give, the fact that you are constantly uploading new videos about the air force is all great. Youve been really helpful to me because I was always never sure what I wanted to do in life but everytime I watch one of your videos it just inspires me more and more to want to join. And all I want to say is just keep doing what your doing. You seem really nice and like you actually care enough about your viewers to keep them happy by making theses videos. So thanks, and I hope you continue to make videos about the air force and all the experiences you go through in it cause thats what you do best!

    Just so everyone knows I am an E-5 in the Air Force and was once stationed at Kadena when a young A1C Gott arrived there. So first off COLA is only for those overseas, Hawaii, and Alaska. If you get stationed in the US you will not be receiving COLA. COLA is to off set the cost of goods and the exchange rates. As far as shipping a vehicle you will have to get with your TMO and see if that vehicle is accepted in that country. Any vehicle can be shipped but if it does not meet the safety standards of that country guess who pays to get it up to code. YOU!! Selling your vehicle isn't always the best option before you leave for overseas. If you can put it in storage or have someone that can take care of it, trust me it is nice to have a vehicle when you come back to the states instead of having to buy one. Overall Kyle you did a great job with this video and as a supervisor I know that the new EPR and rating system will have us asking the young airmen about there finances so be prepared. I have seen several young airmen get into serious trouble because they couldn't handle there spending but the military also gives you the opportunity to save and set yourself up for success like Airmen Gott has done. Great video Kyle!

      Joke's on you kid, you have to go to college, even as enlisted. I'm an E-3 stationed in Wyoming. I'm a Nuclear Missile Maintainer. I too want to be a pilot eventually. Yes, you have to be an officer, which requires a 4 year degree. There are multiple ways to get commissioned into the Air Force, while some are better than others as far as making you competitive at being a pilot. Check out www.airforce.com, hover over "joining the Air Force" and you can find information there about becoming both an enlisted Airman and an officer.

    excellent point kyle i as will suggest to people who plan on traveling when your in the service or as a civilian and you work at a place what allow you to eat for free at its cafeteria or galley what is basically same thing. eat there everyday when your there so you save. as will before you go home if you don't leave far from it eat there don't go out. simply go out when your traveling and your away from base if your in the service. but eat cheap but healthy. but of course treat your self to something what my cost a good buck every once in a while not everyday. that's just my suggestion

    • @RoamingSpiritous
      @RoamingSpiritous 7 лет назад +2

      as will another suggestion not 100% sure its allowed but if its is in military dorm get a small fridge and pack it full of water to keep cool and pretty much hoard water bottles with nice clean spring water where you have room in your cabinets in your dorm so you never worry about not having anything to drink. but that's me.

    Military pay is well above minimum wage when you factor in BAH, BAS, free medical care, and all the other "entitlements."
    I've done the calculations, and anyone who retires from the military will earn over $100,000 for each of the 20 or so years you serve when you factor in retirement, BAH, BAS, free medical, and the long list of entitlements. I did the calculations for a single soldier who barely makes E6 at 20 years (otherwise you'd be RCP'ed out before retirement) using the lowest BAH entitlement, so practically anyone who retires from the military will make much more.
    Military pay is too high, considering all you need is a high school diploma or a degree in a useless major to become an overpaid officer. Anyone who says military pay is low is either ignorant or purposely trying to mislead you.
    The only reason there are some on food stamps is because BAH and BAS are considered allowances and not normal pay.
    For reference, I did four years Army and currently eight in the Army Leftovers.
