Regret
I dont regret joining because lord knows where I wouldve been in life. The navy provided direction to me
I feels
It's not for everyone actually
tayokarate did he say anything about it being for everyone dumb fuck?
It gave me direction, that's for sure, to get the fudge out and excel well beyond my peers!
@P Ivan Sanchez In the navy, I was a navy nuke EM, made E4. Then I got kicked out for having a blue falcon of a room-mate. Afterwards, I left and I had the insight "You must create", and create I did, I created many profitable products that people loved.
I don't regret joining the Navy but God damn I can't wait to be a civilian again...
true dat
XxTournaquetxX same same
so fucking true
why??
XxTournaquetxX lol 😂
The military isn't exactly like a civilian job and it can't be. But there are some similarities. If you make the commitment, keep it. If you lose perspective you'll be miserable and it's all downhill from there. Keep your head in the game, save your money when you can, and 4 years will cruise by.
If you're not sure, don't do it. Get some advice from others who have done it, do your homework on job selection, and don't lie to yourself about what you're getting into.
Joining the Navy was the best thing I could have done for setting up my future financially as a civilian! No regrets!
agree!
Is it a good choice for a career??
Sailor Thank You for your Service from an Air Force Veteran .
Thank you sir and thank you for your service.
I met many guys in the Navy that did buy a brand new car, and when we went on deployment the new car sat on the pier for six to eight months. Good planning!
I must say I never watched your videos because the titles are so misleading but I'm glad that I finally watched a video and realized you totally support what you do and give helpful insight to how what you learned in the military can help you in the real world. Subbed. Keep up the good work. Thank you for your service.
Any financial advice for my son hes at A school meridian MS..... he got shore duty will be stationed in mayport does that mean he wont be traveling?
You're very well spoken. I have young sailors that dislike the navy because of little things and I try to explain to them what the military provides you. You really have to take advantage of all it has to offer.
Hey man I'm about to leave the 9th for Army bootcamp. You make me so confident with my choice in joining. Thanks alot. Im nervous as heck honestly!
You got it mate!
Aurora Borealis He’s Dead my friend
Thank you Yoon for taking the time out of your day for helping us :)
Im not trying too impress you im trying press upon you!!!!
I leave for boot camp in a month and I am quite nervous. Thanks for your service and thanks for making me feel more confident about it.
You're a very good speaker
Thanks Fred
i know this video is old asf, but youre the only military youtuber I can watch that doesnt annoy the hell out of me, so thanks for that
Appreciate you brother man 🔥
You really broke it down man. You explained how you feel so clearly. Thanks for this video.
My Navy experience was great but the first two years did suck. Thats what you get for being a E-3 or under.
I'm sure it will get better
It's tough, but it can be well worth it. I have been in the Navy for almost 10 years and there are times I am ready to pack up and leave, but I enjoy it overall.
I can't wait to get out.
haha
Why?
This is an excellent video with respect to income putting it in a nutshell as an enlistee. I've seen some YT videos of guys in their early 30s enlisting (they were in fit shape) and to them they were very happy with regards to the compensation and benefits in the military while others who were in the military since their early 20s thought otherwise commenting that civilian jobs pay much better. But what was stated in this video is a very accurate picture of civilian work life versus military work life.
As for officers and civilian graduates, military officers are ahead. Nowadays I see college grads working retail for $9 an hour as it is still very hard to get a foot in the door where one can use their degree. A 1st LT on the other hand takes home $4k a month plus benefits.
Thank you for the great video!!!
You are very mature and I love the way you articulate your thoughts.
Thank you Mr. Reed
Also, thank you for your service
Exactly my thoughts. Hearing him talk is very insightful and relaxing.
Make sure you join for the right reasons and with the right job for you. Recruiters will straight up lie to you about undesignated rates. I’m a Vet now and finishing my degree at 30 and wishing I had completed this sooner has lead me to have a bit of a mid life crisis.
I'm going to Bootcamp January 15th. Wish me luck !
best wishes, keep me posted
JustYoon will do !
Thank you for show us those points . My son joined the Navy , this video will give him encouragement. Thank you.
Everything you said is soo true and is exactly how i feel without a doubt
im talking to a Navy recruiter tomorrow:)
hope it goes well.
Good luck Bobby, I talk to my recruiter tomorrow so hopefully all goes well for both of us :)
bobby pratt i know im late but talkin to mine as well Tommorow
What happened a year later !!!
Good luck. Get everything in writing, recruiters are trained liars.
military may only pay you 15$ an hour as a nuclear technician but you dont have half the bills as someone working for 15$ as a civilian so youll save much more. you have waaaay more potential after 4 years with buying a house getting a 6 figure job. going in at 17/18 allows you to have a much higher success rate when your 21/22 than any one else you know. you can buy a house in pretty much any location with the lowest interest rate possible and have a guaranteed job related to your military career. plus if you really like it you can retire in 20 years
Appreciate you dropping in 💪
Your very articulate and break it down fully when you speak and you get real into it where the audience can grasp a firm understanding. It wouldn’t hurt to look into public speaking, I could see you on Ted Talks. Shalom 👍
Thank you Murphy for your kind words!
What's up, young buck! Good for you that you can find the benefits that work for you in the Navy; nonetheless, spending one's whole career in the Navy is not something anyone can do. It all depends on how much you grow as time goes on. I like to be in the Navy because I like to have a different job every 3 to 4 years. In fact, if I'm not gonna have a job of my dream when I get out, I'll probably die of the boredom from keeping an uninteresting job for more than five years. Every 3-4 years, I move to a different place, meeting different people, and experience more things. It's been 10 years, 1 month and six days... Only 9 years, 10 months, and roughly 24 days left for me. By the time I get out, I'll have retirement money, disability benefits, M.B.A. degree, a job as a civil service employee... things may change. By the time I'm 65, I'll either retire or die depending on how long God let me live :-)
Good luck on all your endeavors:-)
God bless you on your journey. Your videos have helped me understand the journey and mental development of being a military employee. My son is a Boot in the Marine and I don't know the Navy terms. Thank you for sharing your experience. You are brave and it takes alot of courage to take a career in any military. So Ooo-rah to you all. Thanks again Semper fidelis.
Thank you for sharing this with me!
you join to give not to take...
Depending on your definition of give. I agree.
I owe the Navy Everything, I would do it again and recomend to any young person to look at the Service. The Navy wasn't perfect but neither was I. I tell people with Great Pride that served in the Navy. I have a Degree and I would trade it in a New York minute for what I learned in the Navy. Navy always!!!
thank you for your service!
Thanks, love your insight... doing a lot of research for my son, he is thinking about joining the Navy after H.S. Good luck with your career!
Thank you. In the end, it is definitely worth it.
Well I hope you're still making videos when you get out. It'd be awesome to see what you do!
I was glad I joined and retired from the air force 20 years later. My brother told me never join the navy.
The military is best summed up as 10 mins of excitement followed by 15 hours or boredom. Hollywood only shows the 10 mins. When people learn about the 15 hours, they realize how different the military is compared to what they see on TV/Social media.
Yes. Yes it is.
Thank you for this video. Im on my way to joining the navy and this video really helped
you got it!
i regret joining the army n being given the job, chemical operations specialist. though i had chemical suit on correctly, the chemical weapons converted by body to diabetes type2. now today, 20 years later, my body n mind is destroyed. i have heart failure, kidney disease stage 3 among many other things. i was physically n mentally abused in the army fer my full 2 years. my second choice going in the military was the navy. when i went to go sign my army contract, the recruiter asked if i really wanted to join the army. my gut was telling me to tell him, no, i'd rather want to be in the navy. i would not have minded being a navy paralegal, or work in security forces or work with the chaplains. at meps, the army career counselor told me to go to waiting area he going find me a job. he did not give me a chance to tell him any army jobs i might be interested in. i hated my army job plus the sergeants, most of them were abusive assholes. these days i'm a proud veteran n defend the good honor of the veteran corps verses the disrespectful nfl players, n now the nfl commissioner. i hate being called a civilian. i happily correct others by telling them i am not a civilian, that i am a proud military veteran.
This is a great great video, you are a great inspiration! Subscribed
Thank you!
I enjoyed my time in the military. My regret in life was I did not take the offer with the Marshall service when I got out. It is a tuff time that you will always look back on. I agree with you on trolls. I wish all I had to do was keep shit stirred up on line. Best Wishes, if you can't be safe, Be DEADLY! RLTW
Just watched your Finance series videos--BRAVO!! You're one of the few military bloggers who embrace the financial opportunities of the service and using it to your benefit (although using the ROTH TSP would be worth looking into).
That said, a good deal of all of the active duty military bloggers (like yourself) are planning on getting out at the end of their first hitch (an interesting correlation). Nonetheless, most all outgoing military vloggers seem to be hitching their star to becoming the next RUclips superstar, traveling the globe and filming their cats, edited to annoying, identical, royalty-free soundtracks....without any consideration as to how to support their lifestyle other than hopes of future colabs with Casey Neistat.
You, on the other hand, are refreshingly different with great, relevant videos about how to grow your financial arsenal which will enable one to have options just incase Casey doesn't return the text or tweet.
What I would like to ask you, is how you are planning financially for your exit from the military and how you plan to replace the secure salary & moreover, the medical benefits you now have access to. I know you have a plan, I would like to see it in a vlog--and I'm sure it will help other troops coming up for separation also.
As a retired vet, I can't thank you enough for providing this much needed financial info to our young troops. Thanks for serving & keep up the great work.
Great video with great input. Will you go into the Navy Reserve after your active duty time?
I am not 100% at this time. I will either do shore for 3 years or inactive for 3. Definitely not Reserves.
JustYoon why not reserves?
JustYoon now when you work a 8 hour day it seems very fast? I work 16 hour days almost every day when I was a cable contractor. I once work 36 hours in 2 days
Have you met any chicks since you've been in the Navy? Would you want to date someone in the military? Thanks for the vids bro, I leave for boot camp in Jan. Gunna be an MC
lucky! that's the rate I wanted but got AG instead.
Try to get out of aviation. I've almost never seen any aviation personnel that made chief. They always do 1-2 contracts and get out.
+Robert Johnston not this rate they advance quick look up ag (weatherman) hard rate to get besides I only plan to do 4 years.
I leave this month too
I am currently an MC and I can say (albeit biased) it's the best rate in the Navy.
You're really a great and strong person!
Thanks George!
Yoon thanks for sharing your insight. I was want to add that the military is what a person makes out of it. Once youre in you have to work those long hours and yes you develop good work ethnics but its up to the person to apply it to the civilian world once they get out. I know many people who are just plain lazy and they were military and I also know people who are the complete opposite . As far as pay goes when you in its easy to save especially full time. You don't really have to worry about food ,utilities, insurance, and rent. You only do when you go back to the civilian world. Secondly if you work 16 hours a day for 7 days that's 112 hours per week. With a civilian job that's 40 hours regular pay and the rest ot. With minimum wage pay that's 40x10= 400 and 72x15=1080, which is 1480 a week about 76k a year.
Worst Mistake of my life... NAVY = Never Again Volunteer Yourself :)
haha
Why
Thank you for this video!
You got it!
I just watched a documentary about the navy and how one guy signed up for 5 years and all he does is janitorial work all day. He does it dawn to dusk. He expected to learn a skill and do a job to have pride in and get money for school. He is constantly in trouble because he feels betrayed at having to clean shit all day. Beware of the expectation and what the reality will be. Do the research and be sure you want to give up so much for a shit cleaning job for the government.
+bodasactra hmm. What's the title of the doc
Carrier Fortress at Sea Documentary
ruclips.net/video/jkmfhrETidY/видео.htmlm1s
I set the link to start with a brief statement by the captain and then a segment about the guy. Watch the whole vid to see his other segments. One guy hates it so much he jumps overboard at sea.
Great input all very good ones!
thank you
Great video Great incites should be a recruiting film.
I just talked to a recruiter and the Navy is like the only thing i would like to do compared to declaring any major. Ive done 3 years of college and it's just not for me. So i have a question, was anyone else here scared to join? Like did you feel like what if this is a mistake?
Very well said
justyoon, my husband just left for training.. please be honest how bad is hell week?.. I'm really nervous for my husband.. he really wants this.. but i read a lot of people drop out... how true is this..
You might be mistaking this to Buds.
Normal boot camp for enlisted is easy. Nothing to be worried about.
JustYoon im not too sure i just know hes trying to be a navy seal
Oh, then yes.
On RUclips please look at Buds 234. You will have somewhat of a clear picture
i dont know but this helly funny. sorry
I swore into the Navy as an LS also. I leave for boot camp on August 17th
Still got a while haha.
yeah... i wish it were sooner but school and all that
Andrew Contreras if you don't mind my asking what rate did you pick? Interested in CTN but I know availability is limited
i picked LS
Andrew Contreras thanks sorry didn't realize u wrote that in ur initial comment
Binge watching these videos at 3 am on 2x speed, school will be rough tmr
Thank you Yoon!
deciding on weither or not i should go. initially i want to go to eventually go to school. heard the military has great education program advice!!!!!
Andrew Jordan tuition assistance after 1.5 years in. PLUS you have your GI Bill when you decide to get out
Alfredo Gozon i thought it was 3 years???
Alfredo Gozon and another quick question i know they have housing assistance programs is that domestic only or can i use that if i wanted to move to like the UK or something?
The Post 9-11 and/or Montgomery GI bill is great after the military. 4, 5, or 6 years of service depending on your contract. During your service in the Navy, other branches might be different, if you are lucky enough and work hard within a 5 year contract I would say associates would be realistic. Then get out and use your post9 or Montgomery.
I want to join the Navy after high school and get a BA while on active duty is that a realistic goal.
thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
JustYoon your welcome
It goes to show you its always something
I am trying to get into Air Force but might not be qualified to be in as the ASVAB score is a 45 but need an 80 to get a good job. Would the navy be a good second choice if I could not join the Air Force? I plan on speaking with a navy recruiter soon!
Yes, I personally preferred to join a branch where I don't have bullets flying at me.
A 20 year vet told me.
Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine in that order.
Preferably Air and Navy. They are more of what you know than what you do.
Amen, but I'll never do boot camp again. Once is enough for me at least.
Can you make a video on the best jobs and worst jobs bro? Or do you have one... if so please link me.
I have see most of your videos and I am sure you have addressed this however I leave for basic in a few days. And to be honest the biggest fear I have is shin splints. I have gotten them in the past and man oh man do I not what to get them in basic. Any tips?
make sure you stretch well. As long as you've practice running you should be fine. They don't make you run a lot for long durations.
Shin splits come from inflammation. Go keto/low carb .
I was a high school athlete and got shin splits all the time. I'm in my 30s and I can run 5k with no problem
#AskYoon Can you talk about the saying "Girlfriend at every port"? Also about parties while you are in the Navy lol
Did you experience bullying and racism in the navy?
I just met with my recruiter for the first time yesterday 11/14/16, and there is one thing I did not mention concerning a recent upm. Haven't signed anything, don't have a meps appointment, is it too late to come clean?
No, don' worry about I and openly talk to them. Their job is to help you get in the Navy. Meps is the one who screens people out.
Any idea what it would do to my chances of getting an MA job?
Do you think that if you chose a different rate you would have been more happy?
I think if I was in a different location It would be more enjoyable.
Sounds like someone didn't do their research before signing the dotted line. And you totally regret it try being honest with yourself
I honestly dont regret it
Yoon, how long will it take to obtain top secret clearance if your not a nuke or special operations?
I'm not too sure, but i don't believe you can just obtain one without a special job.
You need a job that requires it. I have to get it because of having a SECF job and the secret didnt take long but I've been waiting a few months for the top secret
Subbed bro
how old are you bro?
I been thinking about joining the military, I am a nurse. I was wondering if army or navy would be better
I joined 21. Currently 23.
I personally suggest Air Force / Navy. I would like to lower my chances of bullets flying at me.
hey mrc2051, I would go with navy. My bf has been in the army for 10 years and they're known to really just throw people around and send them anywhere. He even told me not to do army. Navy is all about jobs and keeping you there. The air force is great too and my friend just graduated boot camp. The only bad thing (which is kind of a big thing) that i have to say about the AF is that you don't get to choose your job until you're in boot camp. Example, my friend that graduated wanted to do Aerospace Medical Services (basically nursing) and she got an awesome asvab score of 85 so it seemed really likely that she would get it. I received a letter from her just the other day and she told me that she didn't get it, even though it was available and she had it as her first choice, and that she got contracting, which is a basically a supply clerk. The worst part is, there was another female with a 40 on her asvab that actually got the nursing position. That's just concerning to me. Sorry for the rant but i would go with NAVY (which I am in btw, ship date 20170501, with the job that I wanted)
Hey bro. What are your thoughts of joining the navy with a family?
My thoughts,
You won't spend time with your family as much as you want when work gets rough. Out at sea, 12 hour days, etc.
However, it is a great way to support your family and appreciate them even more.
Hey your videos are really helpful and informative. Do you have any advice for me, im a 17 year old junior in high school I really want to join the military, but I really want to go to college as well, I'm really frustrated and confused about what I'm going to do with my life. I could really use some advice from an experienced person who has been to college and the military, thank you!
Zane W i'm in the same position man. i'm a junior and thinking about enlisting but not sure.
do both, go reserve or ng.
Zane W It sounds like active duty is not your bread and butter. I looked into the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves which is part time. Biomedical Engineering is my dream so Full-time Biomedical Engineer and part time military.
Zane W get a job now while you're in high school and see what working is like, managing your money and trying to save see how easy or hard it is for you and also think about and learn how the average civilian is while working in life.... You will see how people are when they work. People are different when they have to work a lot are piss poor works and sissy's about life!!
Brian W go to college first and then go the military! That's what I'm going to do!
i know you must have answered this a lot, but can you go to RTC without a bank account? because i ship in 7days
You will have a chance to create one once there. With Navy Federal.
okay thanks! ive watched so many of youre videos, thanks for always being informative and professional 👍
Thanks Gregg!
What is your job in the Navy? It makes a difference.
LS
You should do a ted talk
would you be safe if you were apart of the navy during a zombie apocalypse? Just curious ^-^
Mean Toaster come back this video in about five to ten years
Mean Toaster
depends on the zombie. if theyre rotting and bloat they can float meaning they can reach boats in the ocean and islands. cant climb up the sides tho
zombies wouldnt be able to outbreak badly tho everyone nowadays knows how to handle that sitch theyd be dead before they got a chance to bite and spread
Lol working 16 hr shifts in the civilian world such a pain :/
Any branch of the service is a TOTAL and MAJOR screw job.
How can anyone join up to be screwed whenever they want
to bend you over?
Everyone is awesome Well they are! Thats why once you serve your initial 4 or 5 years, you can get out. Common sense.
Real common sense is not to join up to begin with. To let someone have a vice grip on your balls and neck for that amount of time is moronic.
Everyone is awesome Well they are! how ignorant
Hey JustYoon, just wondering if people in the Navy get stationed in Korea?
Jared Kim people get stationed in South Korea
So wait..if you join the service, the hours would be 16 hour days?? Isn't that more than full-time? Lol
I'm in the 9th grade and I graduate in 2021 should I try to enlist in 2025 because I was thinking of doing it right after highschool
part of me wish i did the same
Appreciate everything you do man. I'm currently a certified dental assistant and would like to do the same thing in the Navy. What are my options? I hear you can be one after C school. Also is it possible to join as Navy Legalman or Intelligence Specialist?
Jay Man try to get Hospital Corpsman contract with dental from MEPS. Chances are you will not get it any other time. If you want a particular job, go for it, but remember it is the needs of the Navy.
I don't know about the Navy but in the Army they have an MOS as a Dental Assistant.
Appreciate both of yal answering my questions. I've decided to go with the Army. They give me a guaranteed chance of being a dental assistant in the reserves, joining the SMP program once I gain 30 credits and at the same time to be contracted to ROTC and commission. Gives you an opportunity to earn your salary from the reserves, educational benefits from the reserves, ROTC benefits, and be able to serve in your reserve unit as an Assistant officer pretty much. I've already got the process started as far as paper work and won't be taking the ASVAB till next year.
Hi! I'm thinking about joining the Navy and i'm so confuse about war ! When we joining the Navy are we suppose to go to war?
TENE MOUKAM Borelle Fabrice if you aren't infantry your good for the.most part. There are people in the military who haven't seen war.
@justyoon
when can I get my spouse with me to the Navy ? after boot camp ?
Depends on where you get sent after A school.
While in A school you live within base.
You're ultimate command will be able to direct you on the procedures.
hi yun is it true higher ups in military is corrupted and fat?
shipping out 20170405 anyone else shipping out in april
I don't until May, sadly
may 1st here!!!
DO NOT post when you leave OPSEC
20170501
PhoenixTECH Roger
can i email you about some questions that i have.
send me a private message on RUclips
Why did u work 16 hours as an ls?
My only advice:go to the Air Force
What was your rank when you joined.
e1
is Navy basic different from National Guard basic?
yes
Thank you. I want to join the National Guard after my Spring semester coming up. Any thoughts on the current inauguration and joining at this time?
No amount of money is worth the verbal abuse I endured in the Navy.
agree
Truth, and if you stand up to it, they kick you out. lol
Is LS like the old Storekeeper? Are you in Supply? Are you complaining of too much work? Too many hours without overtime pay? Finances are a problem? You knew all this before you joined. There is no Overtime pay in the military. You don't get rich in the military. All these things you want are available to you in civilian jobs if you can make it. good luck.
Dang those cheekbones
Do you still have to go groceries shopping or do they have chow halls where everything's free. Or do you have to pay for food in the chow hall too?
You technically pay for the food, but you get compensated for it.
what job do you do in the navy?
Logsitic Specialist.
You dont have to go to the navy to learn this
I did IT and had a ball in charleston sc
5:16 stop doing that.
Dear Yoon, are you a LS?
Dear Vu
Yes, I am a LS
How was the experience with being a LS. Where do you normally work? Office? Ship? and which states and countries have you been to during your 5 year active duty? Any regret? :)
do you have instagram or something to communicate? I would like to ask you about LS experience since I will be LS as well. Normally where do you they locate? Like on ship, office, in which countries? What would be the best and the worst of the job? What is your career plan? Thanks Yoon !
Hi I pick LS but I will shipped for bootcamp dec 26. I would love to keep contact with you guys :-). Please
