    There are many reasons to enlist in the armed forces. Each of us has our own story. Mine was twofold. My family's military service goes back to the 1800s and I needed a job. What's yours? Whatever it is you must remember this. Serving your country is not about you. It's about protecting us and going above and beyond the average citizen every day you are in service. It's a lifestyle. It's commitment. It's enduring hardships that most people can not imagine. It's about the friends you make, teamwork, and getting the mission done no matter how long it takes or what you have to do to accomplish it. Most of all you have to have fun. This retired MSgt thanks you for joining. You have taken a big step into a larger world.

      @@blank1505 like honestly. You have nothing to lose. You can make it a career. I think you take a test to get to the next rank every year. Which raises your pay rate I assume. Make life long friends. You got to be fairly in shape and if you’re intelligent. Nothing can really hold you back. All you got to do is stay fit, do your job and stay away from drugs. You get paid just to see the world basically. Now that I’m seeing what I’m telling you. I need to get in their asap. Shoot for the stars my friend and join my friend.

    I'm a retired USAF MSgt. I did 23 years active - moved 14 times and was in four different AFSCs, the last of which set me up to walk into a corporate job with a Fortune 50 company when I got out. Your videos make me want to go back and do it all over again. An eye opener on pay and benefits used to be the annual RMC letter. Realized Military Compensation which shows the monetary value of your retirement plan, your tax advantage on BAH and BAS,etc. Am assuming you still get 50% at 20. So a 38 year old would have to have how much invested to pay them a monthly dividend equal to your monthly retirement check? I meet so many people my age who are now struggling with retirement, medical care and when they look at what 23 years on active duty gave me they openly admit they wish they'd stayed in.

    Mikayla, you make some good points here. There is a lot a potential benefit in joining the military: job skill training, work experience, LIFE experience, educational benefits. But you also make the point that serving in the military isn't all about the individual. Its about functioning as an effective part of a team toward a common goal. "It's the mission - not you." And that means that sometimes you sacrifice: you can't always serve where you wish, can't always be doing the job that you wish and can't always take leave when you wish. And that, more than anything, is what separates the military from civilian employment.

    What a smart move for you. Somehow your video showed up for me as a RUclips pop-up and found it really interesting. My Dad really liked the Army Air Corps / Air Force from 1944 - 1958 in electroincs communications. and I know is how he met my mom when stationed nearby. I remember being 5 when my Dad spent a year in Newfoundland. That I do remember but he soon then left per my mom's request when he was to next head to Germany but his Air Force experience sure paid off for him for his next job. I am retired and did know four retired IT information technology Air Force who joined our firm and they all did well and were great to know. i also have a friend who wanted to be a doctor and his only way was through the Air Force. I went the college route after high school fortunate to have been accepted in to an IT intern program with a company that paid my way through college. Thank you for your service.

    To transfer your 9/11 GI Bill benefits to your dependent(s) you must ensure they are listed as your dependents in DEERS and, BEFORE you separate, you must assign at least one month of the benefit to each of your dependents BEFORE you separate (if you don't they won't be eligible. You can reassign benefits later as long as they have at least one month's benefit at the time of your separation)
    The 9/11 GI Bill pays for 36 months of public, in state college tuition.
    There are limitations but you get more benefit by taking more classes because the benefit is based on the months you are in class, not the number of classes. (i.e, you use up the same amount of your benefit of you take one class for one month as you would if you took three classes for one month. Both would use one month of your benefit)
    If you want to go to a private university, check with admissions because many private universities have what is known as a Yellow Ribbon program. If they accept this, you can use the GI Bill to pay for school and the school forgives the difference in tuition cost.
    When youbare using your GI Bill to go to school (while you are no longer active duty, you can use it on active duty but you don't get full benefits) you are entitled to Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) at E5 single rate based on the location of the institution for full time in person classes. (it varies based on how many hour qualify as "full time" and how many classes are not "virtual", check with the education office for specifics)
    You are also eligible for an annual $1,000 stipend for books. (again there are limitations based on how many hours you take, check with the education office)
    As an example, I got my education while I was in the Air Force so, before I retired, I assigned one month each to my wife, daughter and son so that any of them would be eligible to use the benefits later.
    My daughter recently started school and my son's school is paid for so I transferred 34 months worth of the benefit to my daughter and one month each to my wife and son. (if you remove all benefits from any of your dependents, they are no longer eligible to use the benefit) So my daughter's tuition is paid for by the 9/11 GI Bill and she receives BAH at the E5 rate and a $1,000/year book stipend. If she doesn't use all of the GI Bill entitlement for whatever reason, I can transfer whatever is left to myself, my wife or my son and it can be used by someone else.

    Hey love your vids, fairly new to your channel but you give the most in depth explanations lol. I have a quick question wondering your thoughts/ insight on. How is a relationship while being active duty? I'm 26 years old looking to ship out in the fall. I'm just curious cause I'm at the "point" in my life where like I am looking to settle down and I know being in a relationship in the military is hard. So what are yours thoughts/experiences if I may ask?

    • @MikaylaRoseDaly
      @MikaylaRoseDaly  Год назад

      I think relationships while active duty heavily vary based on your job, where you’re stationed and ultimately the person you’re with. In my experience, I have seen plenty of both healthy and unhealthy relationships while active duty. There is definitely plenty of opportunity to meet someone while in the military and settle down though. Wishing you the best!

    If you are active duty, can you go see any civilian doctor if you're willing to pay for it? Or do you always have to go to military doctors? Let's say you want to go to a very good civilian doctor that a friend recommended you, can you just make an appointment an go/pay yourself? Some people might not want to go through the whole process of scheduling an appointment with your military primary care physician and then be transferred to a specialist and all that which could take longer than you want to wait.

      overturning of Roe v Wade is not the first, nor the last poor decision our leadership has made and will continue to make. you're gonna have to choose some jobs if you do enlist, so my advice would be to see what pursuing that dream looks like with vs without the AF and see which you think will get you there faster/more comfortably.
      tbh almost everyone i know in all branches, including myself, regret enlisting and plan to get out ASAP. if its your dream, then go for it. i just thought that would be helpful to know. look at the pros and cons. you'll probably be underpaid, in stricter working conditions, and longer hours compared to the civilian equivalent to that job.
      biggest pros imo were making all the friends, connections, and memories.
      hope this helps paint a more realistic picture by knowing a little of the good and bad.
      last thing, also consider space force! its the same thing but w less bases but theyre all good ones

      @@MegaMijit What is your job? You've been in about a year, so I assume you're still in your teens or early 20's. Basically, you're upset because your required to work and can't spent hours at work on your phone. I realize work to many people in your generation is a bad thing but it's in your future no matter what you do. Step back and look long term where are you going to be in 15-20 years and beyond. I retired in 1999 and hired on with the Az Dept of Corrections, I retired from there in 2020, I started social security in 2021, I draw 3 retirement checks a month for $6500 clear. I haven't paid a medical bill in my life or never had a student load. Think long term my young friend. One good thing about the military is if you don't like your supervisor wait 6 months and you'll get a new one. Best of luck to you no matter what you decide.

      i'm just saying its worth looking at the cons and the opportunity cost before making a major life decision. congratulations on drawing 3 retirements. thank you for your service. please hear me out. the world is in a much different state than it was 20+ years ago. allow me to enlighten you. there's a reason why enlistment and retention is at an all-time-low, so its not just me. and definitely not for the reason you think.
      To the old guy coming to complain about how my generation doesnt like to work. Sir, i've been working since i was 14 years old(started on lobster boats), and usually held more than 1 job at once like many young people have to today. and yet, you think we're lazy. okay. you've probably only ever had one job at a time, which sounds pretty lazy in comparison.
      news flash buddy, my generation is BY FAR more hard working for way less compensation and benefits than yours because we have to just to scrape by these days. this is the state of things that we are left with due to the inaction of your gen.
      think long term? i think about how i dont want to hate everyday of my life working in a place i legally cant leave for years unless i want to face prison time. you're literally giving up your FREEDOM at that point. so you call it what you want, but our gen has smartened up to the point that we know our worth and dont put up with shitty working conditions. crazy concept i know.
      basically what youre saying is "shut up because benefits" which is terrible advice bc the military isnt even the only place you can get majority of those benefits. however, it is the only place thats made me come in to work on weekends unpaid, . that wouldnt fly at any of my civilian jobs. there's a lot of things the military will put you through which civi jobs never would.
      To answer your question, i work in tech and on track to retire in less than half the time than the traditional 20yr. but i know i could have gotten here faster and more comfortably had i not enlisted. I have friends non-military working in same career field that did just that. So im just passing along what i wish i knew/didnt do at that age to those about to go down the same path.

      This was a brilliant commendable question to ask especially for you age. Someone told me long ago that the quality of your questions determine your quality of life, so keep asking great questions. In addition to space force, i'd also suggest looking into the other components such as Air National guard and reserves.

      Govt employees are non political so you can vote for a blue party in the military ;) or a red party ;) but if you are too political it can hinder your work and might get arrested. USMC family.
