      I literally had a marine recruiter tell me this lol 😂 realest dude ever. Told me they get commissions based off of recruit volumes, the bonuses are bullshit, they tell you you'll do a bunch of cool shit but 75% of everyone never experiences what they show you on films. They're told to ramp up the military like it's the best job ever. Basically told me if I join I sign my life away, if I have no family and no path in life, this is the best place. Glad he talked me out of it, because the V.A. abandons veterans and it's disgusting

      @@pathurd9595 eh, you'll have debt for 20 years and make $40 an hour MAX. Trade school or having a niche market and started a business is the best way. I dropped out after 3 years. Did my THANG for 5 years then started a pest control company. Now I'm killing it, taking county and city contracts after 5 years so far. I don't blame people for college but depending on the degree, it'll be useless in 5 years. Hope you get a degree in something the world needs, and push through. Because no matter what happens, you won't be successful if you keep quitting

    • @NoxYaSoxOff
      @NoxYaSoxOff Год назад +38

      There’s plenty of trades open for new people since many have started to decline due to the lack of young adults joining. College isn’t the only option and some trades can pay quite a lot. There’s programs that’ll gladly take in students to train them on their desired trade for free and assist in helping them find a job. You don’t need Highschool to be successful and you don’t need college to have money, as long as you apply yourself.

      ​@@fctoryResetActually *_you are wrong!_* Because he never claimed that recruiters _aren't_ predatory... He *_said_* military can be great alternative option for some people, which it is 💯
      Back when I was in school in the early 2000's they were *_already_* phasing out and closing all the shop/trade classes! Most schools were closing wood/metal shop, automotive shop class, etc. and now they only push "college" and lead kids to believe that starting adult life w/ crippling debt is *_the only_* option 💯
      They also don't teach kids sh!t about the importance of choosing a major that will pay off with high salary & good enough job prospects to *_pay off_* that debt! They don't do _anything_ to dissuade kids from getting a "liberal arts" degree that cost the same as every other degree but does _zero_ to increase their earning potential‼️
      My family immigrated from a 3rd world country and have all become home owners and they all became successful/retired comfortably through various means, the military being one of them! And some ppl come from poor families w/ no college graduates so they usually don't have the best grades (no scholarship) and family can't afford to pay for school... The military will pay for their degree and allow them to break generational curses in exchange for a few years... So *_YES_* it can be a good alternative option for some...

    My school had "drive your tractor to school" day. They held the "cow dump lottery" on the feild during halftime while we were in the lockerroom. I worked every tobacco farm and sawmill within 20 miles of my home.
    I was about to graduate and saw all the older guys were still doing the same. I enlisted at 18 without telling my parents. I had 4 months of MEPS before i could go.
    I remember breaking the news to them. I was leaning against the wood stove. Mom was cooking homemade beef stew and cornbread. ( everything was homemade) i said "im leaving in a week to bootcamp, i joined the military " mom dropped the spoon and said "what have you done!" My father sitting at the table fixing something broken, without looking up, said "its your life"
    I was attached to a helo squadron that was a SEAL uber. In 8 years i had been to 14 countries, in 4 combat operations and 3 movies were made about things we did.
    I was taught electronics. I loved it. And thrived until 4 of my buddies were killed and i placed the blame on me for not saving them. So i got out. Still dealing with that. Became an engineer in san jose and traveled Europe and asia making a shit ton of money.
    I met the most beautifulwoman i ever seen in Eastern Europe. She was 25, i was 35. We have 2 sons now. She is still stunning at 40.
    We bought my grandparents farm they lost in the 50s. I retired at 49 last year. Moved back home. Almost everyone is doing the same stuff they were in the 90s.
    Going in was the best thing i ever did. But i recommended young people learn a trade or go to college before enlisting. You can quit college but you can not quit your contract with uncle Sam.

    I had a job working in a bank processing checks and making good money with good benefits following high school, and they would pay for college if I committed to the bank for a period of time matching the time they paid for school. BUT, the job was boring. I talked to recruiters from ALL four branches. The ARMY recruiter was late, the Navy recruiter was sloppy in his uniform, the Air Force had a good spiel but wanted me to wait six months to go in. The Marine Recruiter NEVER lied to me. He had me take the physical to SEE if I qualified. Then the Entrance Exams to see WHAT field I was qualified FOR... (I scored very high, and could choose.) I chose Aviation Electronics, and was guaranteed that field. I spent more than 13 years on Active duty until I blew out a knee. I went around the world, saw and did things most only dream about. Got out, had a job in 28 days and began a new thirty year career in LE. Never regretted my time in the military and two of my four kids went in. One joined the Air Force, one the Coast Guard.

They almost got me just by being decent dudes who seemed to actually give a shit, unlike the air force and navy. Army got though with the "You wanna be a ranger?" video...yea good times.

    The way I see it is those military recruiters are no different than any other job based recruiter out their civilian or government. They all tell stories about the positive adventures and benefits of the job and overall experience. That’s their job.
    Also since I didn’t have much as a teenager everything I received both in the military and VA came with a lot of gratitude. Not all was great but overall I used the military what I needed found where I could be useful and applied myself accordingly. As for the VA healthcare it ain’t perfect but it sure beats not having healthcare at all.
    It’s all about how one view things and expectations I’m guessing. Plus I don’t have anything to compare the military or the VA to. After it’s the government so what should I expect?
    But as for the military & the VA they never abandoned me. In fact I still use the VA to get me where I need to be today.
    In life everyone should try and find something and somewhere that makes them feel useful. That’s really one of the keys to life anyways.

Didnt have the money, time, or transportation to get to physical therapy. 17 year old me was absolutely crushed...but now that im a bit older and ive talked to veterans and i see how much lying is done by recruiters....im sure it was for the best.
