Stay for 20. I got out after 5 years active duty. I was home six months when it really hit me that I only needed 15 more years to retire, and I would only be 40 years old. Well now I'm 60 years old, and the Navy has been paying me for the past 20 years,... in addition to the previous 20. So far, that's 20 years of work and 40 years of pay. And I'm just over a year away from early social security. Two retirement checks are better than one or none. I worked for the state for awhile. If I had stayed with that job, I would be getting a state retirement now. That would be 3 retirement checks. So think of it like this. Do 20 years military, then work for your state, county, or federal government, and also draw social security. You'll be pulling in 5 to 10 thousand dollars a month in retirement. That's 60 to a 120 thousand a year...in retirement!...and you don't have to work past about 60 to 62 years of age. No Wal-Mart greeter here.
How crazy is that😂 the only 2 navy guys I watch on RUclips and y’all do a collab! Loved it. Been seriously thinking about enlisting into the navy as an MA as well.
Worth mentioning, in the Royal Navy a Master-at-Arms is rated as a Chief Petty Officer. Petty Officers and Leading Hands in the Royal Navy Police are known as "regulators" ( the RN Police was known as the "regulating branch" up until 2007).
I went to BUDs and finished hell week but got dropped after hell week for failing a certain pool evolution twice, then I went to the EOD pipeline and got dropped from here as well due to a water evolution. so now I am going to MA A school in a couple of days
Hey, I’m that one guy from about 2 videos back who enlisted as a STG. Anyway you could do an interview with a STG so I could get some perspective on the job.
Thanks brother I appreciate your hard work. Amazing I can't even believe I'm on this kind of s***. Way better than drugs. I still like the beer I still like the herb. Still smoke cigarettes unfortunately. Keep up the good work brother thank you
Wait, what? Your backup contract was IT, and you let that one go?🤯 i was trying to land IT but was not available at that time, so I contract for MA I'll be ship May 16
Is there a divide between MAs and the rest of the navy? Like are they viewed by other sailors in a negative light since they’re basically the cops of the navy?
I mean people won't like you if you're super moto and always trying to give tickets for petty shit but other than that work is work and liberty is liberty
He's probably an incessant whiner... Don't follow negative people!! Look at the MA, working out with Ms bikini, if that don't sell you, I don't know what will!!
These seem to be a bit misleading, when you have people with little experience in the rate, like 4.5 years. Why not get those who are trained to promote certain rate and/or programs so others can get the full information. Or at least senior enlisted, like Chief's or above who have lived the life, not just starting.
@@TravelingwithJose Who is they? But, if you have no one who has the experience of years in this rating, or others who are trained to promote all ratings (such as possibly recruiters), then you are doing these people a big dis service. You are giving information and not really knowing how accurate it is. Possible you would better serve them by directing them to seek out senior enlisted in this rating or to go and see a recruiter for information. Although they must also arm themselves with a bit of information concerning the rating they want to not totally be misguded. Social media is a lot of information online, but it does not always be truthfull information.
I'm sure no one would want to listen me as Senior Chief about old sea stories they can't relate to, rather than young guys that look like models (nohomo)!
Jackson Smith he hearted the reply about getting the commission so yeah try going for the officer route. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and you could always go back in as enlisted if you decide officer life isn’t for you.
@@cantthinkofaname7525 what did you end up doing? i’m in the same position, graduated college and want to become an MA but not sure if there is an officer route
A lot. VA loan, GI Bill, veteran status in everything you do in life(companies give discounts for veterans others put veteran applications at the very top). There are a ton of other smaller things but these are the big ones. Also, consider what job you want to do in life the navy can propel you into that job. One of my dad’s friend got most of his electrician training in the Navy for free. I want to be a police officer so I am thinking about going MA as I get experience in law enforcement and college credit towards a criminal justice degree. Just have a plan on what you want to get out of the Navy before you join. Do not join on a whim with no plan this will make you heavily regret joining. Best part is if you love the military you can stay in and do your 20 years and retire nicely. Like I said though bro have a plan on what you want to do. Have a good chat with your recruiter he/she will help you!
This is very important for me so if you guys are still replying here it will be really much appreciated. I currently have an Associate Degree and Bachelor Degree (2 titles) in science of nursing. With this preparation can I apply to be an MA? If it’s the case do I have the option to join as an officer or it is only enlisted for this career path?
@@TravelingwithJose I wonder if this has changed? My son signed his paper work Jan 2020. His contract says 4 years active and 4 years reserve. He's going in as an MA. He leaves March 12th.
I died when you left the dab part in there 😂😂
I had to!
Austen- 12 hour days? How many days/week? Any days off?
@@noxistommyfinlay95 here we do one week working 12's mon Tues, and fri-sun and then the other week you work only on Wednesday and Thursday
Do MA work on a ship or mostly at shore

LMFAOOO... the Walmart greeter killed meee.
Amazing
what do you mean by "Work for the state"?
I had a job working for the state where I lived. As a state employee, I could have earned a state retirement if I had stayed a little longer.
How crazy is that😂 the only 2 navy guys I watch on RUclips and y’all do a collab! Loved it. Been seriously thinking about enlisting into the navy as an MA as well.
Crazy how RUclips works!! Glad you enjoyed. Hope you get what you want!
Wait so you don't watch @nickey_MGTV and @JT_suits

Oof... goodluck.
Joel Smerber noooo dont say that 😭
How is going?
Question since this was 4 years ago where did they send you on your 1st order?
When Jose was complementing Austen, his face looked like so happy with himself. But goddamn he earned it
Currently serving in the Royal Navy, funny to see all the things you guys do different and that
We appreciate the best ally anyone could ever have, except us.

I’m watching this October 23 2020 and it’s helping more than you could imagine. Thank you for the detail.
Thank you for the content! I passed my ASVAB and qualified for MA. I'm considering it 💯

Sir jose ..your so serious listening to your friend 😂😂
MACM (Ret). Enjoyed the video. You should consider a LE Career when you leave the Navy.
Or... You can take a Hollywood role as CAPTAIN AMERICAN!!! YOU LOOK LIKE AN ACTOR!
Great collab!
Literally did the same thing, I was just going rod instead of diver
Going in as MA February 18th !!!
Good luck with everything 🙌
Are you going to be an MA?
Hey, I’m that one guy from about 2 videos back who enlisted as a STG. Anyway you could do an interview with a STG so I could get some perspective on the job.
No I’m going as an AC
Yes! I’m so excited! Leaving January 14th for bootcamp! Hooyah!
I don't know any!!
Yeeeessss
We called it a “dream sheet”...aptly named.
Going in as an MA October 3rd baby!!
Good luck with everything!
@@TravelingwithJose Thanks homie I'm so anxious
Edgar to navy
So what kind of freedoms do MAs have? Are you able to go off base when you’re not working?
I'm making RUclips videos now on the navy if you want to watch
Give it all you got ! I'll check them out
Dayum this is too iconic 😱
You think so?!
Very informative!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks guys!
Do you have weapons during gate duty ?
Abk Abk duh
Yes
Could you be an MA with poor vision that's corrected with contacts or glasses?
Yes you can. I have horrible vision. Lmao
@@XxTournaquetxX That's good to hear thanks for responding

Great question
Thornton sounds familiar no insult but CVN 54? 70 perhaps
Florence, AL? I’m from Huntsville!
Shipping out October 21st as a MA
I know there were f18s involved. What was your buds class..
Why you should become an MA:
You shouldn't
What should I become cause I was thinking MA
Why not?
He's probably an incessant whiner... Don't follow negative people!!
Look at the MA, working out with Ms bikini, if that don't sell you, I don't know what will!!
@@MariluMindfang Because everyone hates military police!They are scum!They can go nowhere,because they are harrashed constantly.when off-duty!

After many years in it's all they know and stayed comfortable doing with their lives...they usually hate it but they dont know what else to do.

Why would you need a senior enlisted? When you first start this is the perspective to expect.
I'm sure no one would want to listen me as Senior Chief about old sea stories they can't relate to, rather than young guys that look like models (nohomo)!
This is truthful information, again I am now a retired Senior Chief Master at Arms
Your Bud's class was 239 brother. If I'm doing my math correctly.
How is the A school for MA??
Are there any benefits to joining the navy after receiving a bachelors degree ?
Rosie B well you could try and commission as an officer I think
Don't go in enlisted!
Traveling with Jose don’t go in as an enlisted? or don’t, go in as an enlisted. i’m confused if we should go in as an officer or not
Jackson Smith he hearted the reply about getting the commission so yeah try going for the officer route. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and you could always go back in as enlisted if you decide officer life isn’t for you.
@@cantthinkofaname7525 what did you end up doing? i’m in the same position, graduated college and want to become an MA but not sure if there is an officer route
So how looking are you typically away from family?
I'm joining for MA in the navy so this is very informative for me. Thank you
Can you choose do just harbor patrol or does that get chosen for you?
You go where they need you.
I’m going in as a GM and was wondering if MA is anything like GM
No GM's work only on guns.
GMs work the armory for us. They also lug/shoot the 50. Cal during general quarters.
Funny, Austen barely looks at the other guy, something wrong with him??
Do MA's have to go to bootcamp or do they go somewhere else for training
They still have to go to Bootcamp. "A" school is at Lackland AFB where they'll train you to be an MA.
Now i want download your video and i am report to policy scammers. INTERPOL.
intersting.....wow.
Bro dabbed😂😂😂😂😂😂😂it’s 2019
What are the benefits after you have completed the navy?
One of the things is schooling.
A lot. VA loan, GI Bill, veteran status in everything you do in life(companies give discounts for veterans others put veteran applications at the very top). There are a ton of other smaller things but these are the big ones. Also, consider what job you want to do in life the navy can propel you into that job. One of my dad’s friend got most of his electrician training in the Navy for free.

Racing World TV go in as an officer if you can!
Traveling with Jose Thanks for the reply
You're set up for success my boi
Can I dip while doing this job?
Haha nope you sign a binding contract.
I graduate MA A school in 2 weeks
Good luck with everything 👍
Im gonna be a MA in the navy
What if you’re married with a child does your family go with you ?
Eventually yes
How long is the MA contract?
Minimum of 5 years and if you want to make the Navy a career you just keep extending your contract.
@@TravelingwithJose I wonder if this has changed? My son signed his paper work Jan 2020. His contract says 4 years active and 4 years reserve. He's going in as an MA. He leaves March 12th.
Yeah i just enlisted and mine says the same your right
Yea it's 4 years not 5.
noice video
If you have a wife before getting to the navy can I pick my hometown city ( SAN DIEGO) as an order
You’ll have some say but it’s never guaranteed!
My last name is Thornton 😎
Curious, why did you choose not to go prp?
How do you just do harbor patrol?
How? Join the coast guard for that’s all they do don’t just navy ma to do habor highly unlikely first tour
Take my advice coast guard for patrols lol everyone including cooks do it
John Robs gotcha thank you!
What asvab score do you need for MA
It really depends on other factors too but you want to have a high score..like about 60
I love you Austen
He cool 😎
Just kiss him and get it over with. The sexual tension you have for your guest is absolutely visible!!!!!
😂
He look like the dude from Wolfenstein 😂
Which dude?
The main protagonist, Austin 😂
Who is you? Are you scammer jose? So now you only talking but you not undrstand about that.
You make zero sense
