Anyone looking to get out of the hood or their small town I suggest you join the military and go on Active Duty. Travel the world meet great people and gain experiences that you'll never forget.
Exactly what I’m doing 💯💯 Swear I’m trying to gain a new understanding through the military . Their only a stepping stone
@@ibnkrisishayawasatmuhammad3589 Yes!
Ode that’s exactly what I did. The Bronx was not it for me.
Leave sept 30! Best decision ever
@@agirlnamedkeja2045 what rate did u choose
Good luck to all the ladies- It can be a life changing path. I was a hs graduate with a 2.3 GPA, and after doing my 4 years, I left the Navy and immediately enrolled in college. I am finishing my first semester with 16 credits with a 4.0 GPA and my life is being LIVED.
Do you only have to do 4 years
Ponyboi 4 depends on your chosen rate! Some are 5 year contracts, but most are 4. Try to stay within four years, it keeps you sane and gives you a good idea for if you want to stay, or want to go civilian and use your gi Bill!!!
How long into joining the navy were you able to start on your education?
cayla v well it depends! So if you want to start school during the service, normally you have to finish a few qualifications that vary from rate to rate! You’d use TA, or tuition assistance. But if you finish at least 36 months of honorable service, you can use your GI bill. You ideally want to use your GI bill after so you get the bah payments!
I needed to see this thank you!
i loved that blue ocean camo 😩
Well here's the problem my Navy had deck shoes not boots, try kicking laceup boots off jumping overboard, my Navy had practical chambray shirts and dungarees that serve as a flotation device and were also fire retardant, not melting polyester like now that sinks in a swimming pool. My Navy my uniform my pride, destroyed by liberals a d shit heels
Agreed. The blues were solid. I'll miss them.
Arianny Trinidad God loves you

Facts
To those who serve, my respect to you! I served 24 years in the Air Force and it’s good to see the young people coming up.
Were you enlisted or an officer what rank were you?
@@glendeaton5489 Enlisted
Respect on the name change.
Nunez El toro nah bro 😡
Adrian Jimenez u made.
WELL SAID.
Said the same shit I did lmao, nice
When is it ok to change your name... when u get in or before anyone signs up...
I'm meeting with a recruiter today to go to the National Reserves. You definitely gave me the confidence and the answer I was looking for, and all I can say is: Thank you.
Kimberlee Jaylyn National Reserves ??? I've never heard of that outfit
@@davidmachado4400 I meant to say national guard😂😭 at the time I was looking at the airforce reserves lmao. My b.
@@10thgenkim6 ah ok....you're forgiven 😉😉 if I were you I would go active duty for at least four years that's just my opinion it's a better deal National Guard is a waste of time
@@davidmachado4400 it's funny you say that because I decided I wanted to do airforce instead, lol
@@10thgenkim6 so then ...did you join ?
No matter what branch you join or where every your stationed it's all about what you make of it. Enjoy the time while your away from your family and become your own person and look on the bright side of everything. Work hard and play harder Rah!
Shiiiii im joining the navy to meet you 😂😍
Edit (2021) : Idk if she ever seen this but the fact it got so much love is the funniest shit ever 😂😂
hope she see this
Yea tell me how that goes 🙂💀
@Jamaican Voodoo Posse facts. To that
Lmao y’all funny asf and I like the creativity . But it’s all jokes over here 😂🤘🏽
I’m about to join soon to fr 😭😭 and I ain’t know it was like that lmao , y’all Krazy
You are amazing. In the process of joining the navy right now at 29 years old bc i need to make some changes in my life. I cant believe it takes 6 months to ship out for bootcamp
Conor Clifford there will be rapid ships coming up with tensions happening
It only took a month for my whole process, I guess it just depends. Shipping out in two days!
@@xuinto Good luck! And stay safe! :)
Me too i turn 29 in 2 months good to hear someone older is joining too 😊
Bro I hear you man I joined too at 29 and I'm leaving now in September
Respect to you for honoring the man that raised you like that. That’s honestly very touching.
I’ve been so in between with wanting to join the navy and watching your videos and hearing your experiences makes me want to join even more thank you 💙
Your welcome hun
Have you went to a recruiter as yet ? I'm prior service Army served honorably for 3yrs now I'm thinking to join the Navy and travel the world.
Join
@@Pimpishone GO for it.
@@ZENEZ please can you help me join the navy
I was recently rejected from the Air Force (for a tattoo)and they told me to try with the Navy(they didn’t mind the tattoo lol). I wanted to learn more and I’m so glad I found your videos. You’re such a huge help. ♥️
may i ask what the tattoo was of?
MissMuvaShay I have a small tattoo at the base of the back of my neck. It was out of regs because it can be seen when I don’t wear a collar shirt.
Dj Marie ohh ok makes sense! Thank you!
Same. I wasn’t bummed out but damn a tattoo!!??
I have tattoos I was told they don't accept gang tattoo or kkk tattoo. So what tat do you have?👀🤔
I'm an Army veteran but listening to you I wish I had joined the Navy as some of my class generation of 40 years ago I'm 60 now I wish you much success in your endeavor, Semper Fortis.
I’m studying nursing major I’m 25 in I’m in my almost 4 year on college and I’m deciding whether to join the Army or the Navy I live in PR
Smart intelligent lady.. hope to join navy and become a doctor
Teddi O. Roosevelt me too! how is this going for you ?
mercy rebekah I’m doing my prerequisites
join the army
Here I find myself too
That is my goal Teddi🙏🙏
I heard and read that it's going to be a lot harder to get approved for tuition assistance (free college) this year and so on, because the Navy didn't budget enough for it. Just something to consider for someone that is joining.
Great choice of rate!! I knew of many non designated seaman who were striking for OS, everyone of them that was accepted to strike for OS made E5 within their first four year enlistment and E6 in the next, those that stayed in the Navy past their 10 year mark ALL made E7, with a great number going LDO & OCS. The kicker is that they were all given re-enlistment bonuses for OS - AND when OS’s are in port they have LOTS & LOTS of free time, so additional Navy schools and outside college education was readily available, as well as huge amounts of free time to get gym time in. Being an OS is like winning the Navy lottery.
PS: this is coming from a sailor who’s career spanned three decades.
I’m currently “the friend falling behind”. Thank you for all this info! You’re a strong, independent, glowing woman!! Such an inspo! 🤍✨
I’m struggling from picking the Navy or AirForce....idk.
“It’s not a job, it’s a lifestyle.” Amazing saying.
You better pick the Air Force 😂😂😂
DrakothRieth lmao why😂
Join the Coast Guard, same pay, benefits and guaranteed not to die in a war (only one has died in Iraq war and he was on a special assignment), all bases are on the coast chilling on the beach everyday. I had a ball stationed in FL and California.
styner3 I heard navy is pretty save
Sydney M have you decided yet? I know it’s been 4 months but I’m struggling with the same thing.
I have a son in Navy aboard a ship overseas. Thank you young lady for your service & for making these informative videos to help those who may be interested in enlisting! God Bless, safe travels, congratulations on making rank & on your decision to make the name change to honor the man who raised you. I know he is very proud! My son joined right after graduation, after 4 years NJROTC & a year & a half of DEP. He loves it and is reenlisting. I'm so proud too.
So far the most informative video I've came across. 👌🏾👌🏾 I'm 26 & most likely going to join the military. Deciding between the AF & Navy.
DJ go Air Force lol
@@jackieescobar7877 I was thinking Navy because I want to travel more.
DJ pick your rate pick your fate. I’m in security so we have post EVERYWHERE . This job just gets long and boring after awhile . But I’m going to Romania after Hawaii 🤷🏽♀️ I’ve been blessed
Depends on what u wanna do in the military.
Thank you so much for this , I’ve been so nervous and scared to be away from family and over all just missing out on life. In reality you’re right I’m just comfortable and I’ll never grow being comfortable!
I feel this same way right now.
@@jaylove1931 in all honesty boot camp was lots of fun !
@Tyaria it was fun girl , work hard , let yourself experience and take everything new in , study , and stay on track.
Love this video. I’ll be shipping off to Navy boot camp on Monday! I’m nervous but I’m ready
Jamie Caraballo Same!! Well My Ship Date is May 14th But I leave Monday
Are you done with boot camp
How was it??
can you give us an update?
Continue to inspire people. I was in the navy, and life is all good for me and my family, if you know the direction you need to take. Take that direction.
Girl you are so amazing. I really look up to you. I appreciate how you look at life and the structure you created for your life.
Thank you🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this video! I’m so excited to get my navy career started this year

Clicked on this to say my dad was in the Navy and Army. I’m joining the Army. Thank you for your service, Petty Officer!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Zenez, thank you for making this video- your about to re-enlist but if you think about it you are so far ahead of your age group- the mindless duties are the hard ones b/c they make you want to quit. Discipline is what you learn in doing the mindless activities. you give good advice as an older person looking back, I have 2 degrees and yes it paid off but I wish I had listened nothing can beat the travel and not being around closed minded people! dam you are so blessed- you say the ship sucks, but it is keeping you in a mode of discipline. Man all I see is a young lady that has found her talent- so happy for you. Thank you for posting! Please continue to post about the Navy. Also how do Officers treat you?
I was on the fence about the navy but you inspired me to go see a recruiter, going today after work! Thank you so much
I love my Latinas in the military. I know for our cultures is like another level serving the US military. Our parents and abuelos get really proud of us. Feels nice. Planning on joining the Navy at the beginning of next year.
Friki_Rican (PR) Same here brotha!
I needed to hear EVERYTHING you are saying here girl! I've already decided i will be enlisting, this video is so badass. Thank you for being open, and honest and sharing your experience. Can't wait to serve my country
How is it so far
The navy is lucky to have you, you’re a great asset and you look good in uniform✨💚
This is so inspirational! You made me more confident to ship out and join the navy! Now, I'm more excited! Thank you!
A Navy recruiter came to my school today and since that class period I’ve been heavily deciding on whether or not I want to join after my four years of college. My brother joined the US Army last year, and my dad is a former Marine, so it’s something I’m really considering. Thank you for this video!!
I'm leaving for navy bootcamp in three weeks. Your videos are amazing. Thank you for your service petty officer 🇺🇸🌊🌊⚓
alex mora how is it ? any advice for high school students that want to join but are doubting a little bit
mercy rebekah join it’s the best decision you can make for yourself. Make sure you do your research on every branch and talk to them before you make your final choice
Bro your a fucjing square
Samuel Fowler Bro your grammar is dog shit. Get out of the comment section you dick.
Dang those eye brows are on point
Joined the navy became a Corpsman spent my years with the Marines. But being stuck on ship made me ready to go to the field. I like to watch you young sailors talking about your experiences. BZ shipmate
See im not trying to Get stuck so im leaving my crazy friends and going to the navy talking to my recruiter This Friday
I'm in the process of joining now
Can You Do More Navy Related Videos 😩
Shanti God loves you
I love the name change story!! That’s so beautiful!
I’m joining the navy I’m a junior in High school and I really want to thank you for this video 💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Amanda Ayala same wit im a junior tryna join the navy asap
Me too! Maybe see y’all there
This is helping me a lot. I’m 21, about to graduate college... I’m scared about joining... but this helps
Don’t be scared , trust me it’s probably one of the easiest careers out there the hardest part is being away from family
Please go to OCS
Do it! I joined after college over six years ago. I've paid off my student loans and have been to almost 15 countries!
Come in as an officer. Don’t let the recruiters tell you there aren’t any openings.
@@Revolver_Ocelot16 whats your rate
Zenez, talk about if they wanna go to college and re-enlist, join the reserves to pick up rank easier and to go back in the fleet with higher rank.
Many do that esp when active duty rates are locked up.
I was so indecisive about joining but your really pushed me towards it
Wow this was the best video ever she pretty much made me realize that I have nothing to be nervous about and it’s a lifestyle not a job I don’t like my job that much I feel like I Out grew it in months I was already over it and I just want to see what I can become
LOVE the name change. I didn’t give my son his birth parent’s last name because from conception, he was absent. My son got my husband’s last name and was adopted by him at birth. That’s bomb. 💛
“Take the lesson and run with it”💪🏼💯
Thank you for your service you are a great example for many my son just enjoy the Navy on 9/11/19 will be in Chicago in November I’m very proud of you 🙏🙏🙏
Please do your research before joining the military!!! While I've gotten very good opportunities being in the NAVY (currently 4 yrs now), there are a lot of changes being made. If you're signing up because you want to finish your college education, the one piece of advise I will give you is to read up on it (NAVY TIMES). They are taking a lot of money away from the educational programs. FYI
@@nom_de_guerre_ I am not violating any of the UCMJ's. This article can be found in Navy Times which is operated by big Navy. You can also find this article all over social media. Letting people know that they should do their research isn't putting big Navy in bad light.
Got MEPS this coming Wednesday. Your videos helped a lot, Thanks!. Ill keep you updated.
Awesome that’s exciting!!

Giovanni Love did I say I wanted to be on the navy? No
Giovanni Love stfu u get out🤣
Don’t do it!!!! 6 years in the af. Miserable. You will never leave and get stationed in a crappy place. I went in open general and said I’ll do anything but medical. I got a medic job and sent to South Dakota where people stay for 20 years. No deployments unless you’re on a set schedule. Don’t do AF. I wouldn’t be here watching this video if I loved the AF. I’m trying to enlist all over again but the right time now.
@@lolo9096 hmm... i've never seen anyone say any of that before, but i have heard never go open general, maybe that was just a mistake on your part and not necessarily a negative...?
My sister is 27 and just joined she loves it
Thank you for this video💓. I just finished going through MEPS. I'm a future sailor now💪🏽. I'm also Black and Mexican and I was just scrolling looking for how to do a bun for curly hair lol and I found you but I didn't know we were the same branch same race (same thin but thick looking hair lol), totally feel that😣😂😂. I'm just really grateful for you. Thank you.
Awww thank you hun 💕
This answered alll of my questions and I really needed to hear all of this!! Thank you so so much!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just GO NAVY. I also really respect what you do. Thank you
I went to the naval recruitment office and I think petty officer Dingle Berry was hitting on me
unknownprofiler Yusha Thomas
Right now I'm definitely considering joining the navy to pay for my masters degree. I graduated with my bachelors so i plan to go the officer route. My only concern is that the years that I'll put into the navy will take me off my goals and delay the future I want for myself. It's still a backup option for me but even if I go I don't plan on staying in the military for the long haul (5 years at most). Another concern is that there won't be an officer route that prepares me for the field that I want to pursue which is either architecture or urban planning. I don't want to be placed in a role that isn't tied to my current career goals and I don't want to be in a position to compromise that. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind being in a position to make and save money, travel the world, make friends, learn a trade, and afford my masters when I get out. Thoughts?
@Space1TV .!. depends on your college and asvab score. I don't plan on joining at all unless its the officer route so if I don't get it the decision will be made for me.
Look into Civil Engineer Corps if you want to do officer route. If enlisting, look into Seabees. If you're doing officer, start talking to an OFFICER RECRUITER, they're only job is to help you put together your officer packet in order to attain the contract you want in order to attend OCS and commission. You have no obligation to the Navy until you actually commission. The sooner you start building your packet the better.
You can definitely join as an officer without going to rotc. You have to take the oar then go to ocs. I am doing this
Not worth it. Don’t do it just for your school. Just saying. I’m a marine and a lot of people do it for school and hate it. 2 different branches but idk my opinion is just not worth it
The 9th Spade I know plenty of Marines who are happy they joined. Including myself I was just letting the person commenting know if they wanna do it just for school then it’s not worth it. My personal opinion . I know Plenty of Marines, navy army and Air Force who hate and who love what they do. So relax lmao it ain’t that serious.
Thank you for this video .you have a bright future ahead of you keep doing what you’re doing I love it fr ❤️❤️really motivated me to make my decision to join the navy
Second time watching this inspiring video . Thank you for your advice! You really motivated my interest on joining the Navy . I’m 18 years old and definitely want to see more of the world & do more with my time on working on my personal development for me . Im a Cali girl that got big goals & dreams that I wanna accomplish . So I’m gone do it ! Thank you love ❣️ .
Edit : Btw for some reason you give me Chanel vibes from the cheetah girls lol ☺️!

I'm planning to finnish my studies in ship engineering in Russia in a few years and then join their surface fleet for a year or two.
I wish all the others wanting to become sailors luck.
How to join the navy and how to get ready for the navy
You should be a motivational speaker
Passing your channel to my daughter as she wants to join the Navy and I feel your experience in today’s Navy is much different from my time when I started in the late 90s. While I do give her advice on the in’s and outs, but having a woman’s view will help her as she wraps up high school.
Your video helped me a lot!! Building my confidences up and work hard to get in I'm studying studying studying!!! I want to get on my own feet and take care of my daughter!! I can do this!!
My granddaughter is in the navy ... I love and think about her so much ... and yes worry ... she is in Virginia headed to Japan 😥
I’m 25, have my degree but sincerely regret not enlisting when I was out of high school. I know I’ll regret it if I don’t serve my country so I think I may do it. Do you recommend enlisting first then going officer or just applying for OCS off the bat?
Stephen Mejia OCS
Stephen Mejia in my opinion it’s better to enlist older, you take more advantage of benefits
Stephen Mejia it really depends on what your end goal is. Do you plan to just stick with the job you ententered the military with? Do you plan to go back to school and enter into a new field.I’m not going Officer because I plan to get a scholarship to finish nursing school and I can cross over to officer then. I won’t have the time to be an officer because I’ll be completing my last 3 classes for my nursing program.
Golden Girl How is that going? I’m currently working on the same thing
I joined the Army National Guard at 28 no big deal
Thankyou so much , very informative and makes me more eager of pursuing my career in the navy.

@@mutton4ever in the military yes
I plan on bein a veterinarian, but I'm a Sophomore in high school, n I'm gettin really big in FFA, my whole family pretty much has been in the military, If I don't get any scholarships to be good off to get my degree I'm gunna go to the navy enlist, make it there n then do school while I'm I'm enlisted.
my brother was a sailor and my daddy was a soldier and they said GO AIR FORCE. i listened and it was the best decision ever. sleeping in tents ARMY, being stuck on a boat for months NAVY, get off duty in air force and i would drive to atlanta from alabama for shits and giggles. make it back for duty in the am and its all good... be smart go USAF...

How did it go ?
Update I had to postpone because of a foot issue I had. Yesterday the doctor called me and confirmed that theres nothing seriously wrong with my foot. I'm so thankful. I jumped back into exercising and back on my clean eating. Hoping to ship out at the end of this year. I'm going Reserves
i ship out november fourth and this video helped me feel so much more confident with my decision!! thank you!! ❤️❤️ i’m so excited for this new adventure!
The military can be a great experience if you make the best of it. My daughter is Army (68 C LPN) and my son is Airforce (9s100 Scientific App Spc), my husband and I were also Army(logistics and gen. mechanic). So every branch has different jobs. I do suggest that people really look into what they want to do because four to six years can seem long if you don't like your job. Don't just rush into it and take any job, just like college, you don't want to waste time in a job you hate.
Just attended my second dep meeting two days ago. One more left to go before I ship in October... I'm both excited and terrified lol.
Im a single teen mom and I want to give him the best life possible I want to join but I'm scared not of boot camp or anything like that but leaving my baby ):

I'm looking forward to 2020... Navy Bound 🙌🏾
Love your positive attitude!!
hey girl, I've had the navy on my mind for some time now. Thank you for your videos! watching your videos has definitely helped me make my decision in joining. I went in to talk to some recruiters. I have yet to study for the asvab.
How does your job relate to the outside world?
Quick question is joining the navy after completing university a good idea?
second question, is joining because of financial security a good idea?
^^^ someone answer these 2 questions
I really enjoyed this video! Got a lot of insight and what I needed haha. Also you’re very pretty!! 🥺💗
It sounds like you have a great job and one which will benefit you once your career is over in the Navy. That is great that you are going to reenlist at the end of your term of service and I wish you all the best and hope you have a nice week. I served in the Air Force for 24 years and enjoyed most of my time in there except for during the Vietnam War. I tried to get into the Navy back in 1968, but the recruiter had filled his quota and the scores was raised meaning you had to get an even higher score and I was a few points below that score so the recruiter helped me get into the Air Force instead. Most of my time was nice and I got to travel a lot and loved the West Coast so much and was stationed in Southern California and traveled to many states and over seas to Japan, The Philippines, Thailand, and South Korea on duty.
