- I will never lie about my service. There are good and bad times in the military for sure.
But this video outlines my favorite benefits of serving in the military.
Lejeune made me glow in the dark. Ramadi made me heat intolerant. The Corps got me out of rural Ohio, and gave me a future; for that, I am grateful. Rah, GySgt.
Flint could only dream to be like Lejeune
My mom was a marine. My dad was a chief in the navy. My sister just joined the army. I Just crushed my asvab with a 94 and am looking at Cyber in the airforce. Ive never been more excited about anything in my life. Other than my wife and 2 semen demons. Also your channel rocks. Keep it up bro
I heard soldiers gripe about not being able to wait until they could get out - and then were lost when they did. Your career is what you make it. You can change your MOS. Deployments are hard, yes. Every job has it's challenges. There will always be coworkers/bosses that drive you crazy on the outside too. Basic training made me realize exactly what I had in me! 💪🏼🇺🇸
I agree with your complete list 👍, I'll add as a disabled Army veteran, the camaraderie you get from sharing the tough times with others is a big one. I will always appreciate a hot shower and a quiet neighborhood 👌.
Nick that is impressive you have been in the Marines for 15 and half years.
All true facts, plus, as somebody also pointed out, the camaraderie, the brotherhood the survives for the duration of one's life!
I'm from Europe and the military service has the same benefits here with some variations and except the health insurance due to our different systems.
If you want to change bases you go and stay in the MoD and, if at some point you want to settle for family reasons, you can go for the military service in within the military units of the Interior Affairs Ministry - no quite an easy job, but it can be done. I started as a para and changed my MOS to Firefighting. Even so you get to go to different courses and classes or in support for the units across the country when emergency situations arise.
Some units have newer buildings, some are old since before the 2ndWW - I've worked in a para base that used to be a cavalry unit before the 2ndWW and later in a firehouse that used to be a former prison since the same period in such a shape that I really missed the old cav barracks.
But sleeping in ditches or on the barren ground at freezing temperatures, swimming in mud or surrounded by flooded places made me very resilient and mostly appreciative for a dry place to sit, to sleep, to have that warm and quiet place you talked about.
And as a reserved soldier I enjoy every single moment of peace, frredom of speech and, above all, freedom to travel. Of course that a big bonus is the fact that now I have plenty of time to spend with the kids and be there for my family!
I love this channel I am going to join the Marines thank you for comedy and tips for the corp I hope to be a 0331
Hi Nick! I enjoy your videos, pretty humorous. I have family retiring from the marines this year with 30 yrs of service. I have friends that got out after 4 years. So you are right it is an individual experience. Take care! Be safe!
Love your videos!
This was interesting !
Love your channel !
I always told my juniors who were complaining their pay isn't good. I would always say, "Just look at what you don't have to pay for." Rent/mortgage and medical/dental insurance is a huge bill that you never had to worry about.
its absolutely possible that as a single young guy to put all or almost all of those paychecks into savings and not have to touch them for four years....
I have watched a few of your videos now, I really am enjoying it. I have liked and subscribed
Welcome aboard! Thanks!
I cant wait to ship out! Just signed as a 68 whiskey (combat medic). I felt I've had a calling but I wasn't sure what it was until my recruiter reached out.
I had friend from Radcliff KY, just right outside Ft Knox. He ended up in basic/AIT at Ft. Knox. He was a tanker, and there was only one tank company at Ft Knox at the time, so it would be extremely unlikely that he would get stationed there. He got stationed at Knox.
You forgot one of the benefits - being able to say you are a Marine.
The traveling and adaptability - as a kid we moved every three to four years, a few times during the school year. Even after my father retired, my parents continued to move; I think the longest they stayed anywhere was six years. And good or bad, even late in my adult life I still exhibit traits of a military brat.
This is my personal list. Everyone will say different things for sure
So, I am heading to my Basic Miltary Training on April 1 due to National Service. I am from Singapore so I have to serve. I hope for cooperative buddies and caring but strict commanders who do punish at right times. I aim to enter Officer Cadet School afterwards. While our military might be different, I enjoy watching you on your experience as a soldier as a career. I have some inclination to become a regular but I will need to experience my days as a recruit and cadet first.
Take it one day at a time and keep your positive attitude. You’ll do great!
I’m a mom…my son is headed into the USAF and you crack me up 😂
Life is what you make of it. Semper
Nick I’ve enjoyed watching your videos, but ever since “Masters of the Air” came out on Netflix I haven’t been able to get over your uncanny resemblance to Irish actor Anthony Boyle, who played the perpetually airsick navigator Harry Crosby. Have any of your friends noticed the resemblance? Have *you* noticed it?
Keep up the good work!
I’ve never seen it but people tell me I look like him all the time.
Does your family get to go with u when u deploy or do yall own or do yall stay on base
They can’t come with us on deployments
I’m sorry for the dumb question, what are your thoughts on an older person considering enlisting in the Air Force as an officer? Nearing the new age limit here 😬
If you’re only considering the Air Force, DEFINITELY go in as an officer. You get all the benefits Nick mentioned in this video and more.
If that’s something you want to do go for it. I always say, if you can imagine yourself at 75 years old looking back, would you be proud of that decision?
@@RotorSpotter_ thank you.
@@NickVarn thank you.
Another benefit:.
LIVING ON BASE?
Can we still join at 29?
Depends on the branch and if you meet prerequisites
Thank you
What’s ur mos?

@@NickVarndo u think msg is worth it?
@@jbn.1234 MSG is a great program. If it’s worth it is up to you.
@@NickVarn Ok thank you
GySgt looking for some referrals for the meritorious promotion 😂
What’s that? Never heard of that program
Oh and there’s no such thing as meritorious E8
:(
@@NickVarn true but would having a few recent referrals make you more competitive compared to other GySgt’s looking for e8?
Probably not. I’m not referring anybody to anything. Just talking about my experiences.
There are no benefits for serving in the US Army. And not only in the US Army, but in any army. Low intelligence and laziness have put you in a position to live as someone tells you to.
Those are words you said.
are you 12? or are you a trustafarian with your parents money? once you make it out of moms basement you will find people telling you what to do, in every single situation in life.
