navy pros and cons - In this video you hear the pros and the cons about the navy. I hope this video help you future sailors out!!! Million Dollar sailor Mindset: www.amazon.com...
Justin Taylor yeah a lot of people she sugar Coating thing or leaving parts out about how the navy really is but I want to give you the truth about the navy.
I'm planning to go to the navy once I finally graduate from highschool. I really need this important useful info about the good and bad things about it. I'm doing this for our country and thanks.
Pretty informative, I almost joined the Marines at age 18, but my stepfather talked me out of it. If I was much younger, the military would be a good match for me because I had absolutely no structure.
I’ll give you the same advice I’d give my own flesh and blood. Chose a branch that’s very close to civilian life. That’s the Air Force and Coast Guard.
Tyler Lauren Smith thank you for watching my video I really appreciate your comment!! I try to keep it real as possible without saying the wrong thing.
I’m retired Seabee Chief (2003) and I was fortunate enough to have been mentored by the WW2, Korean War types. I watched the benefits either change or disappear. Some would seem silly others are long forgotten, and worthy for another video. My advice to anyone wanting to enlist is as follows. 1. Don’t enlist 😂 2. If you do enlist have a plan A and B. If you flunk out of your A school, you’ll be a swabby or someone’s flunky. Do one tour , go to college and don’t look back. 3. If you for some reason reenlist, go to GNC and buy some skin thickening supplements, as well as some body armor for your back. As you climb higher in the enlisted ranks , deeper and more profound is the political process and back stabbing. The navy has a strong history of eating their own. 4. If you reenlist take the time to volunteer at your local VA or VFW and see how the veterans are being treated. You will be surprised. 5. Copy your medical file and personnel file when in possession. Log in all your injuries. I was injured 4 years into my career and was entered into my record and the government still doesn’t want to do their job. 6. Develop a strong relationship with your creator, we all need a strong anchor. Lastly when you exit the navy develop a mindset that no one cares about your military service, aside from other veterans. Don’t look back, only forward. Hope this puts everything in perspective.
I got my bachelor's degree on active duty, and after retirement, I went to work for the VA. Now, I get 2 retirements plus Social Security. It was ALL worth it.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 quick questions if you don't mind. Can I join if I'm hearing impaired? I was told when I was 20 the Army wouldn't accept me. However, I never spoke to a recruiter.
Mazi Way that’s a great question however I would talk to a recruiter because I have no clue. I would just give one a call in your area and they should be able to help you out.
Thank you so much. I needed to hear this because I’m joining the military and I wanted to the navy. This just cleared up my mind and I will be joining the navy this June after high school. I just a lot of question still to answer
ay bro I fw your videos their very informative and helpful, I’m even thinking about joining the navy myself. keep up the content and thank you for your service 🤟🏽🇺🇸💯
Submitted my application for the Canadian Navy this week, I was going to join 3 years ago, but I had a work accident resulting in a badly broken leg and over a year of recovery and physical therapy. I'm so excited for what's to come, but also terrified, BM is basically my dream job, and I hope I enjoy it as much as I think I will. Thank you for your service Dave.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I don't mind the sanding and painting 😅 not exactly sure about the US, but Canadian BM's often drive the RHIB's and do water rescue, and can specialize in boarding party member, ships diver, navigation yeoman, and weapons/small arms instructor, should keep things spicy enough 😄 Thanks for the reply!
It amazes me hearing that they feed people processed food. If your getting trained for battle you should be in your best shape that means eating a balanced diet if people are getting sick then things need to change 🤷🏾♀️
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I want to join tho! Need the experience, need to develop new skills! I'm 26 years old and I'm very healthy so switching my diet to the stuff they feed is really going to be a tough move. There's definitely alot of pros especially for school and travel. Really wanting to move out of the United States too. I got alot of thinking to do 🤔
GYU LKRCA the military is a great stepping stone overall. I have learned a lot and the benefits are amazing. I 100% recommend the military to anyone, at least do 4 years.
"I have to stay around these people, I can't get away from them." Yep, in other words we have to grow up! I spent 24 years on active duty, with deployments. I was married with a son. If your spouse is mature, and you have a plan, it works. And today, with all the communications, including face-time, available, it's not nearly as lonely as it was years ago. It's a wonderful career, not every day is fun and games, but you can't lose your job unless you screw up. GO NAVY!
That thing about greeting seniors and being ignored only to see them suck up to their seniors is hella true Dont let anyone fool you. If new soldiers lack discipline and respect it's the senior enlisted fault. They talk a good game but many have terrible behavior. Most senior enlisted (e7) with 2 years till retirement are some of the most toxic people you can have around. They stop giving a shit
Not all of us Chiefs (E-7) and above were on the ROAD (retired on active duty) program. I went kicking and screaming, but high year tenure is the law. As it should be. We need to start our 2nd careers and the young folks need promotion room. It's a shame you didn't have a good experience with your superiors, BUT it's the same way in civilian life, if you are not moving from job to job.
Thanks for the information bro, very informative! I’m 29 years old and finishing my master’s degree soon, and I am debating on whether to join the navy or not, but at the same time, I don’t wanna be stationed at sea, so that’s a major con for me. Great video!!!
Hey man. Great video you literally cover all my questions. Im 19 and i will be joining Navy soon as CS and i was worried that you cannot study while working. I see is like hard but you can still make it if you play cards right. Hope you can talk a bit more of it. Thank appreciate your vids👍🏻
I really appreciate your video bro I’m 31 married with 3kids and I have a electric degree but I need a promise career like the military. What about the housing benefits , do they pay for you to get a house ?
You can join the Navy with an Associates degree, but not as an officer. And your bachelor's degree shouldn't be in liberal arts. Choose engineering or the sciences. Talk to an OFFICER recruiter (NOT enlisted) so you can get the up to date scoop on (1) what the requirements are AND (2) what the Navy is looking for NOW as far as majors. Best wishes.
Thanks for this video! I'm definitely joining the military. I wish the same as you though, joining at an early age, I pretty much wasted a decade of my life, I would've probably been a different person than I am now!
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I don't have a ship date yet. Was waiting to get the devils lettuce outta my system but it's been over a month so im gonna take a home drug test tommorow and if I pass let my recruiter know I'm good to go
I don’t know which branch to join. I’m trying to decide wether I should do Army, Airforce or Navy. I can’t seem to be able to decide, it’s so hard. Reason to join the: Army: deep inside I see myself as a soldier Airforce: Better living conditions and safer Navy: Travel What should I do?
The Official Dave Harris thanks for the advice bro, I will try to join the airforce. I went to talk to an army recruiter yesterday and tomorrow I will go to talk to a recruiter hopefully I pass the asvab test. The asvab is my biggest concern. I’m 21 and struggling in life I have an unstable home. I need a place to live and work so hopefully they accept me. Thanks again for the advice bro!
JPZzz, not sure if you ever joined, but I say go with your heart. My heart was always Navy, whereas my son was Marines. We'd have both regretted joining any other branch.
The navy seems like a job I wanna do I not a huge home person I hate being in one area all the time and I wanna have a different and new experience what the world is outside of me
That part that you said you can retire in 20 years scared me though.. I'm thinking about joining, I'm about to be 20 years old, so I wouldn't get out until I'm 40 years old.. I'd spend my entire youth in service.. that's a little overwhelming to me. Like what if I have a girlfriend? Can I bring her to places with me or how does that work?
That is so true. That’s a long time to be in the military but a lot of people do it so it’s possible. Most of my 20s was spent in the navy but I don’t regret it tho. I seen people fly their spouse out the the country we went to and get a hotel with them. You would have to talk to your chain of command about it tho.
If you are stationed overseas, or your ship is homeported overseas, you have to be MARRIED if you want the Navy to sponsor (pay for travel, have access to Navy medical care, base privileges) your spouse to be with you. Some tours are meant to be unaccompanied. The government won't sponsor your family (spouse and kids) in these types of tours. If you are stationed in the states, it's easier to move a girlfriend, but at your own expense.
I went to my recruiter this past monday becuase i decided i wanted to join i go to meps this coming monday and its starting to hit starting to get nervous
The official Dave harris You decide🧐navy where you can travel but live on cramped ship or air force where you get nice state of the art gyms and your own room and lucky if you get to travel and better conditions.
Hey Dave! In your opinion, would you have joined the navy right after high school or are you happy that you joined at a later age? Trying to figure out what I should do in my future.
Dman HD i am happy I waited to join because I got to experience college and living on my own and that made me a little more mature than the other sailors. If you just want to do 4 and get out I would join right after night school.
Hi thank you for sharing, your video was very informative...What’s your thoughts on reapplying to rejoin the Navy after being separated in boot camp for failing your PFA????
Uylonda Daley thank you for watching. I would highly recommend rejoining or even try Air Force. The military in general is a great stepping stone with so many benefits!!
The Official Dave Harris thanks for your response i really appreciate it, was asking for my daughter she just got separated like 2 weeks before graduation and is currently in the process of coming home; she mentioned trying back
Some barracks are better than others. If you have it kids or married you can get approved to stay off base. If not you have to wait until you make E5 to get BAH.
Thank you brother, i don't plan on making a family in the navy till I'm 35 and I'm currently 19,i want to make money to invest back in my country (Cameroon) that way I'll have income coming from Cameroon and at the navy. I want a really cheap house which i can live in to cut my cost and a cheap reliable car which won't take me alot of money. I want to build story buildings back in my country for rents cause back here it really isn't that expensive due to the way the Navy pays,i can do that in a couple of years, i just have to livee below the comfortable life. Thanks once more
The Official Dave Harris I twisted my ankle at work before shipping and the doctor took me off it for a few days. I’m good to go now, and I’m talking to a recruiter again. Also, weird as it is, I want it more than I did the first time. Funny how perspective can shift like that. Before? I was going through the motions. Now? I’m really looking forward to it.
Regarding your con about higher ranks ignoring you for a simple good mourning, is that the rule in the military or were those particular people just being rude?
What’s good! FTS stands for full time support. Everyone I know that’s FTS loves it. It’s like your active duty but don’t have to go on deployment unless you want too. You will have a lot of time to spend with family! I’m tried to go FTS myself but they just stopped it for CS’s.
I already know they got stuff about the navy u don’t wanna say on RUclips , I fucked up and got in trouble but I got a general under honorable conditions, I’d never go back even if I could
Luis Castro idk why they would say that, but idk too much about the reserves. I seen most people come in as a reservist go to bootcamp then A school then go back home to start the reservist life.
Thank you for this video. What advice would give someone who is 32 years old and who wants to join the Navy? I've been wanting to do HM or CTN. I'm just looking for a change in my life. I think the military would change my life for the better. I've been studying the ASVAB but failed it so I have to wait 6 months.
Ryan Hazzard the military is a great stepping stone I highly recommend it. The money is good and there are great benefits!! Just keep studying. What did you score on the asvab?
The Official Dave Harris I scored low. I’m a little embarrassed to say. Screw it I scored a 31. The Math and arithmetic is killing me. I want to either do CTN or HM but I heard HMs don’t really rank that well.
Hospital Corpsman takes a while to make rank, but you are set up, with the right training, to get decent jobs in the civilian world. Cryptologic Techs are specialized for military work. After the service, you might be able to work for very specific contractors, not many job opportunities. However, if you make the Navy a career, like I did, it won't matter what opportunities are available on the outside, until you retire!
hi! Do you know any Navy nurses? My first go to was the Air Force but the Navy and Army are the only ones with a nurse candidate program to help out during school 💰. The Air Force doesn’t have it 😭..
If you haven't already found out, you need a bachelor's in nursing to be a Registered Nurse, which is an officer. If you have high school or Associate's degree, you may be eligible for Hospital Corpsman.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 your very informative and am signing a contract to enlist soon. You earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks for the awesome videos.
Great video! Do you think the NAVY is better than AIR FORCE ! I’m 24 would that still be good enough for me to get my 20 years in? Did u get sick living in all those countries
Ariee Duhh these are great questions. To be honest if I could go back in time I would join Air Force because I’m all about family and the Air Force is good at keeping family together. But navy does go on better deployments than any others branch. At 24 you still will retire at 44 which is still young. And no you don’t get sick in these countries you will enjoy it!!
You have to know how to swim to an extent. They will tech you if you don’t know how but it could hold you back. It will make the process easier if you know how to swim before you go to basic training.
There are many jobs that will transfer over. Check out this link it may help you out. www.quora.com/What-navy-jobs-give-the-best-transition-to-civilian-life
I am 28 soon to be 29. I've been considering joining the navy because I feel like I am not going anywhere in life as things are now and I wish to change that. However, as I approach the age of 30 I was wondering if it was a good idea.
Azure yes I would still join at he 30. Better late then never. I’ve seen people join at 35. Your life will change for the better if you join so I would definitely consider it.
Clint Beastwood yes if you have a wife in kids your pay will increase even if your a E1. You will get BAH which is extra 1,500 or more a month depending where you are stationed at.
Wes 1k I have braces and I leave for bootcamp in January. You have to have them off before you leave and they put them back on after boot camp and ait for free, but you can join and swear in with them on .
TapOrNap3100 UGMMA yes you can move off base as a E3 even as a E1 it’s doesn’t matter you just won’t be getting BAH and will be paying out of pocket unless you are married or have a kid then you could get BAH.
Dude not trying to rain on your parade but just because you did some time in the navy when you get out don't mean you can get a job anywhere I got out last September and I went to multiple interviews and was not chosen for the job
Hey bro, i was thinking about joining, i had a good life that got destroyed, im now 36 and lost everything i spent all my years working for, im not sure if its too late or not, i think i can deal with the cons, the food is the scariest thing to me, anyway i want a new adventure for my life, a new experience, i like the navy as i love being on the ocean, and traveling, im not sure about being cooped up with some emotional teenagers but i can deal. Whats the cut off on age?
Adam Garrett it’s 36 for the navy. So I would hurry up and talk to a recruiter ASAP. Sounds like the navy is a great branch for you if you like to travel and big out on the ocean.
Philippe Okono oh cool!! You can apply for college as soon as you get to your first command after A school. You can take a class or two if you have time.
SelfMadeQuinn I think you can if your good enough. But that’s something you should ask the recruiter, they have more knowledge about that topic then I do.
If you go to the Nav as l Academy for college, play ball, and are good enough to be recruited for the pros, you MAY have you service obligation (pay back for free college) forgiven.
Bradan AshleyWhitley you have to wait to you are on shore duty. So most likely you will have to re enlist after your first contract. That’s when I got it and I was 6 years in by then.

I’m retired Seabee Chief (2003) and I was fortunate enough to have been mentored by the WW2, Korean War types. I watched the benefits either change or disappear. Some would seem silly others are long forgotten, and worthy for another video.
My advice to anyone wanting to enlist is as follows.
1. Don’t enlist 😂
2. If you do enlist have a plan A and B. If you flunk out of your A school, you’ll be a swabby or someone’s flunky. Do one tour , go to college and don’t look back.
3. If you for some reason reenlist, go to GNC and buy some skin thickening supplements, as well as some body armor for your back. As you climb higher in the enlisted ranks , deeper and more profound is the political process and back stabbing. The navy has a strong history of eating their own.
4. If you reenlist take the time to volunteer at your local VA or VFW and see how the veterans are being treated. You will be surprised.
5. Copy your medical file and personnel file when in possession. Log in all your injuries. I was injured 4 years into my career and was entered into my record and the government still doesn’t want to do their job.
6. Develop a strong relationship with your creator, we all need a strong anchor.
Lastly when you exit the navy develop a mindset that no one cares about your military service, aside from other veterans. Don’t look back, only forward. Hope this puts everything in perspective.
Thank you so much for the advice these are really some gems

Most of them not true tho.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 which ones are
@@matthewgaming831 lol..idk. All I know is that you will find out who is gay once you hit some ports and the drinks start kicking in.
Great vid!! As someone who's 26 those tours you were talking about seem pretty cool!
Yes they are so make sure you take advantage of them. Thanks againg for watch. When are you going to bootcamp?

thank you for your service!!
Air Force or the Navy. I'm trying to choose. I am leaning Air Force but those Navy bonuses on their website got me interested.
I’m in opinion I would go Air Force. But if you want to travel and party go navy!
Very good information and advice.
I should have done what you did.
Good job.
Thank you for watching!!
Great video! Got a lot of information here. Thank you for sharing
thank you for watching!!
I don’t know which branch to join. I’m trying to decide wether I should do Army, Airforce or Navy. I can’t seem to be able to decide, it’s so hard.
Reason to join the:
Army: deep inside I see myself as a soldier
Airforce: Better living conditions and safer
Navy: Travel
What should I do?
Jose Paz I was always told to join the air force they take care of families. If I could join another branch it would be the air forces.
It’s all up to you. I can’t tell you what to do but if it was up to me it would be Air Force, army then navy.
The Official Dave Harris thanks for the advice bro, I will try to join the airforce. I went to talk to an army recruiter yesterday and tomorrow I will go to talk to a recruiter hopefully I pass the asvab test. The asvab is my biggest concern. I’m 21 and struggling in life I have an unstable home. I need a place to live and work so hopefully they accept me. Thanks again for the advice bro!
Jose Paz I hope everything works out for you. The military will change your life for the better. Good luck and let me know how things go for you.
JPZzz, not sure if you ever joined, but I say go with your heart. My heart was always Navy, whereas my son was Marines. We'd have both regretted joining any other branch.
The navy seems like a job I wanna do I not a huge home person I hate being in one area all the time and I wanna have a different and new experience what the world is outside of me
Currently doing my research on the navy but I'm still unsure at the moment
Go air force
I definitely appreciate this video. I can’t wait!
SN95 Life thank you and thank you for watching!!
Man I want to join the navy when I’m 18 but how to join?
Just find a navy recruiter in your area and go to the recruiting office.
Boss Great video honest abe🙌🏾 got a good perspective of the navy now
Lol.. I’m glad my video helped you out. I try to be as honest as possible so that people understand how the navy is really like.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 In the process of joining so your information was needed
@@astroj8549 I’m glade it was. Good luck!!
That part that you said you can retire in 20 years scared me though.. I'm thinking about joining, I'm about to be 20 years old, so I wouldn't get out until I'm 40 years old.. I'd spend my entire youth in service.. that's a little overwhelming to me. Like what if I have a girlfriend? Can I bring her to places with me or how does that work?
That is so true. That’s a long time to be in the military but a lot of people do it so it’s possible. Most of my 20s was spent in the navy but I don’t regret it tho. I seen people fly their spouse out the the country we went to and get a hotel with them. You would have to talk to your chain of command about it tho.
If you are stationed overseas, or your ship is homeported overseas, you have to be MARRIED if you want the Navy to sponsor (pay for travel, have access to Navy medical care, base privileges) your spouse to be with you. Some tours are meant to be unaccompanied. The government won't sponsor your family (spouse and kids) in these types of tours. If you are stationed in the states, it's easier to move a girlfriend, but at your own expense.
Good vid bro I’m joining when I turn 18 next year💪🏽💯
iDropBotS_GT Good luck bro just stay in shape and stay out of trouble. Thanks for watching.
KG&TM NATION you joining at 18 ? I’m joining at 17 bro 👍🏼
Thank you for your services
Thanks for being so real about it. I appreciate it. Looking forward to enlisting soon.
Carlos Garza your welcome. I just want you guys to really know what your getting into.
Great video man!!! Very informative.
David Camero thank you so much
I went to my recruiter this past monday becuase i decided i wanted to join i go to meps this coming monday and its starting to hit starting to get nervous
Are you in the navy yet?
So preety much. Cons are being hella far away from your kids. Not looking how you want too.
Pros. Allot of benefits and a check every 15 days
yep pretty much. all to say i would join the military. its a great stepping stone.
The official Dave harris You decide🧐navy where you can travel but live on cramped ship or air force where you get nice state of the art gyms and your own room and lucky if you get to travel and better conditions.
Dime Ques I would prefer nice gym and own room!!
Welp I’m enlisting airforce thanks. And you just got your self a subscriber I’ll keep you updated on how It going.
Dime Ques thank you for the sub I’ll sub back. Let me know if you get into the Air Force. If I could go back in time I would join air force myself!!
Thank you. This was very helpful
Cristian Gomez your very welcomed
Yeah Man I'm trying to decide whether I join the Navy or Marine Corps
Cristian Gomez go Air Force!!
Hey Dave! In your opinion, would you have joined the navy right after high school or are you happy that you joined at a later age? Trying to figure out what I should do in my future.
Dman HD i am happy I waited to join because I got to experience college and living on my own and that made me a little more mature than the other sailors. If you just want to do 4 and get out I would join right after night school.
Glad youre back. Here to help the algorithm lol
Yes sir!!
Hi thank you for sharing, your video was very informative...What’s your thoughts on reapplying to rejoin the Navy after being separated in boot camp for failing your PFA????
Uylonda Daley thank you for watching. I would highly recommend rejoining or even try Air Force. The military in general is a great stepping stone with so many benefits!!
The Official Dave Harris thanks for your response i really appreciate it, was asking for my daughter she just got separated like 2 weeks before graduation and is currently in the process of coming home; she mentioned trying back
Man....I'm still joining the Navy they travel the most .....and I wanna see more than Pensacola,FL
The Queen 1999 you definitely will get to travel in the navy. Are you from Pensacola?
Update on your journey?
Katisha Palmer who me?
I’m def gonna hate the barracks!! I hope I get approval to stay off base, I have money saved to afford it.
Some barracks are better than others. If you have it kids or married you can get approved to stay off base. If not you have to wait until you make E5 to get BAH.
Or you can pay out of pocket since you got money saved up i would get a roommate and get yall own place.
yeah, im going to pay out of pocket, I don't want a roommate. LOL@@theofficialdaveharris8794
@@FreshCort88 yes it sucks living with random people. Plus getting your room inspected every week gets old quick..lol.
I remember having to drive the ship seasick! And projectile vomiting in front of my shipmates lol. No SIQ for us
Curlytop Asmr Lee that must have suck trying to stay on course while feeling like you have to throw up. Now a day everybody get SIQ
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Yeah it sucked big time. Ahh those were the days...
Thank you brother, i don't plan on making a family in the navy till I'm 35 and I'm currently 19,i want to make money to invest back in my country (Cameroon) that way I'll have income coming from Cameroon and at the navy. I want a really cheap house which i can live in to cut my cost and a cheap reliable car which won't take me alot of money. I want to build story buildings back in my country for rents cause back here it really isn't that expensive due to the way the Navy pays,i can do that in a couple of years, i just have to livee below the comfortable life. Thanks once more
Thank you
Your welcome!
I joined, went though DEP, but had to back out. Now? I’m trying to go back in. Hopefully it’ll happen.
F1god04 why did you back out?
The Official Dave Harris I twisted my ankle at work before shipping and the doctor took me off it for a few days. I’m good to go now, and I’m talking to a recruiter again. Also, weird as it is, I want it more than I did the first time. Funny how perspective can shift like that. Before? I was going through the motions. Now? I’m really looking forward to it.
Thanks for video I hope enlist soon
C.A.A your welcome 🙏🏾
The Official Dave Harris where were sent on your deployments I’m going next month
C.A.A I been all over Israel, Greece, Athens, Spain, Iceland, Germany, Dubai, Jordan
The Official Dave Harris thanks this makes a little more thrilled about joining hope I have a good experience.
Regarding your con about higher ranks ignoring you for a simple good mourning, is that the rule in the military or were those particular people just being rude?
Blue Moon they just being plain old rude!! Most feel like you beneath them too me.
That's a shame. It wasn't my typical experience, but then again, I'm friendly and approachable.
Wussup bro aye I ship out as yn fts. Dec 17 2020 do u know any fts sailors? If so how’s the life for the sailor for family life?
What’s good! FTS stands for full time support. Everyone I know that’s FTS loves it. It’s like your active duty but don’t have to go on deployment unless you want too. You will have a lot of time to spend with family! I’m tried to go FTS myself but they just stopped it for CS’s.
I already know they got stuff about the navy u don’t wanna say on RUclips , I fucked up and got in trouble but I got a general under honorable conditions, I’d never go back even if I could
Yeah it’s hella stuff I want to say but I can’t. The military not for everybody especially not the navy. How long was you in?
Yep. When you fuck up, there's always a price to pay. Even in civvy land.
I’m considering if I should go the Navy way to become a firemen or should I become a EMT Paramedic then try to work my way up to Firemen?
Hey man im going to join the navy reserves and my recruiter is saying to enter as active and after a month ill go reserve
Luis Castro idk why they would say that, but idk too much about the reserves. I seen most people come in as a reservist go to bootcamp then A school then go back home to start the reservist life.
I’m really thinking about it! I would LOVE TOO! Do you have to get any shots? What are the requirements?
Central Hunter you should join! Call your local navy recruiter they can tell you everything you needs to know.
The Official Dave Harris Ok thanks!!!! I’m thinking about it seriously!! Thanks man!!
Central Hunter your welcome
Thank you for this video. What advice would give someone who is 32 years old and who wants to join the Navy? I've been wanting to do HM or CTN. I'm just looking for a change in my life. I think the military would change my life for the better. I've been studying the ASVAB but failed it so I have to wait 6 months.
Ryan Hazzard the military is a great stepping stone I highly recommend it. The money is good and there are great benefits!! Just keep studying. What did you score on the asvab?
The Official Dave Harris I scored low. I’m a little embarrassed to say. Screw it I scored a 31. The Math and arithmetic is killing me. I want to either do CTN or HM but I heard HMs don’t really rank that well.
Ryan Hazzard shid I scored a 40. But HMs don’t really rank thank fast Like you said.
Hospital Corpsman takes a while to make rank, but you are set up, with the right training, to get decent jobs in the civilian world. Cryptologic Techs are specialized for military work. After the service, you might be able to work for very specific contractors, not many job opportunities. However, if you make the Navy a career, like I did, it won't matter what opportunities are available on the outside, until you retire!
hi! Do you know any Navy nurses? My first go to was the Air Force but the Navy and Army are the only ones with a nurse candidate program to help out during school 💰. The Air Force doesn’t have it 😭..
No I don’t know any nurses personally, but the navy does have good programs for corpsman (nurses).
If you haven't already found out, you need a bachelor's in nursing to be a Registered Nurse, which is an officer. If you have high school or Associate's degree, you may be eligible for Hospital Corpsman.
Great video! Thx.
Panda Powerfist thank you for watching!!
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 your very informative and am signing a contract to enlist soon. You earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks for the awesome videos.
Panda Powerfist thank you so much for the sub. I try to let you guys know how the navy really is as truthful as possible.
Aaaaand time 4 Air Force as a next step for me!!! I need my golden toilets and filet fridays!!!!
ClearlyConservative for real. I need that Air Force life.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Don't we all want the 5 star hotels???
ClearlyConservative yes sir⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bro did i just hear Cameroon?? I'm in Cameroon right now!! Please I'm begging you,How do i get in??
Great video! Do you think the NAVY is better than AIR FORCE ! I’m 24 would that still be good enough for me to get my 20 years in? Did u get sick living in all those countries
Ariee Duhh these are great questions. To be honest if I could go back in time I would join Air Force because I’m all about family and the Air Force is good at keeping family together. But navy does go on better deployments than any others branch. At 24 you still will retire at 44 which is still young. And no you don’t get sick in these countries you will enjoy it!!
Knowing how to swim is it a key factor to enter the navy? i don't know how to..beside i'am from Cameroon
You have to know how to swim to an extent. They will tech you if you don’t know how but it could hold you back. It will make the process easier if you know how to swim before you go to basic training.
Hi what jobs can I find in the navy that can transfer in the civilian world or what branch has the most jobs that can transfer to the civilian world
There are many jobs that will transfer over. Check out this link it may help you out. www.quora.com/What-navy-jobs-give-the-best-transition-to-civilian-life
I thought braces are only covered under certain circumstances
If your teeth are in bad shape you can qualify for braces.
I am 28 soon to be 29. I've been considering joining the navy because I feel like I am not going anywhere in life as things are now and I wish to change that. However, as I approach the age of 30 I was wondering if it was a good idea.
Azure yes I would still join at he 30. Better late then never. I’ve seen people join at 35. Your life will change for the better if you join so I would definitely consider it.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I'll talk to a recruiter on my day off, thanks.
Azure ok cool good luck 👍
What about if you have 3 kids and a wife will e1 pay good enough to cover that
Clint Beastwood yes if you have a wife in kids your pay will increase even if your a E1. You will get BAH which is extra 1,500 or more a month depending where you are stationed at.
How did you add the letters and words
Big Beezy I use photoshop
If I drown I drown but I doubt it
The Queen 1999 you won’t drown they have trained navy divers watching you.
Aye fam I plan on joining but I heard I can't join with braces on
Wes 1k idk how it work if you already got braces and trying to join but once you get in the navy you can get braces. I’ll ask around tho.
Wes 1k I have braces and I leave for bootcamp in January. You have to have them off before you leave and they put them back on after boot camp and ait for free, but you can join and swear in with them on .
Corey Miller thanks for that info I didn’t know how it worked. That’s good to know
Have you met any master at arms? If so, do you know if they enjoyed their job? Great video btw!
yes the ones i know love it and you do be out to sea a lot as a MA.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 I was hoping there'd be more shore duty as an MA
@@mrgotmilk7238 I’m sorry you don’t be out to sea a lot as a MA. Most of your time will be on shore.
@@theofficialdaveharris8794 Good to hear, thank you, sir.
Can you move off base as E3 if you pay using your base pay in the navy.
TapOrNap3100 UGMMA yes you can move off base as a E3 even as a E1 it’s doesn’t matter you just won’t be getting BAH and will be paying out of pocket unless you are married or have a kid then you could get BAH.
Dude not trying to rain on your parade but just because you did some time in the navy when you get out don't mean you can get a job anywhere I got out last September and I went to multiple interviews and was not chosen for the job
True but military experience does help differentiate you from other applicants which can never hurt.
you might need to touch up on your resume.
i agree with you you still have to put in work no job will be handed to you.
Hey bro, i was thinking about joining, i had a good life that got destroyed, im now 36 and lost everything i spent all my years working for, im not sure if its too late or not, i think i can deal with the cons, the food is the scariest thing to me, anyway i want a new adventure for my life, a new experience, i like the navy as i love being on the ocean, and traveling, im not sure about being cooped up with some emotional teenagers but i can deal. Whats the cut off on age?
Adam Garrett it’s 36 for the navy. So I would hurry up and talk to a recruiter ASAP. Sounds like the navy is a great branch for you if you like to travel and big out on the ocean.
Yooh dude, I m Cameroonians too. I ll leave for bootcamp next week. Question bro which moment or time when your are inside can I apply for college ?
Philippe Okono oh cool!! You can apply for college as soon as you get to your first command after A school. You can take a class or two if you have time.
Thanks bro
Philippe Okono your welcome
My daughter is three
I have no friends or family to watch her as I combat, does the navy provide childcare or a special program for our children
What about Egypt?
I have 1 question, If I play basketball in the navy will I have a chance to go pro? I don’t know what to do with my life right now
SelfMadeQuinn I think you can if your good enough. But that’s something you should ask the recruiter, they have more knowledge about that topic then I do.
The Official Dave Harris thank you
SelfMadeQuinn your welcome
If you go to the Nav as l Academy for college, play ball, and are good enough to be recruited for the pros, you MAY have you service obligation (pay back for free college) forgiven.
after bootcamp , when can i get my braces ? also when did you get yours
Bradan AshleyWhitley you have to wait to you are on shore duty. So most likely you will have to re enlist after your first contract. That’s when I got it and I was 6 years in by then.
Hm would you recommend navy or Air Force
Air Force no questions
If you were to do it again, would you have gone to a different branch?
Duke Leroy of course I would join air force hands down.
