Well done Adam! Really depends on the job you want. Guard bases are sometimes limited to what's available job wise. Joining the Guard will always feel more like a family and the pride with that is greater than Reserves. I have seen some people leave the Guard for the Reserves and then come right back. Definitely chat with recruiters and see what's out there for you
Wait, you said you "sold it for more" and then you say you got paid the original amount? 🤨 I'm kind of assuming they trying to haggle the price down when they show up, at least that's what I've heard. Maybe it's the difference between selling them a refurb or a straight out junker.
Incredible the military leaves millions of dollars in gear and weapons when they leave Afghanistan but you are required to turn in everything how you got it when you leave......smh. Glad I never enlisted.
Hey Clare, gotta a question for you; I'm a college student with a year left as a CS {Information Systems Major}, what would you give insight into me looking into becoming an officer in the military, I got some hefty debt and was wondering if that would be a good walk for someone like me? Even though you don't know me lol... I respect the military tremendously, love to learn, and don't know what i want to do with my life anymore...
thank you for reaching out. the military is never a bad idea if you're looking for some consistent work and adventure. i joined out of high school because i didn't know what i wanted to do with my life and it was fun. the military pay for officers is pretty nice and gets better pretty quickly as you rise up in the ranks. i think it might be a good fit for you. you also seem pretty smart so Air Force might be the way to go
Love the content and exceptional camera work ! Solid wood furniture goes for a premium pretty much anywhere ..and that little table would sell for $250 in our area easily , even in this stinky economy that we're in .. I think it came out great especially considering its previous condition (although I prefer whitewashed or blonde wood stains over traditional brown stains) Two 👍👍's Up for remaining determined and getting it done ..pencil yourself in a raise (but make sure you use pencil) *gigglesnortgiggle* 😂 😇❤
Hi. A nice video. Are you based in Anchorage, Alaska? I’ve been there. I stayed in Anchorage, Alaska for a few days back in 2018 on a vacation from Maryland. I flew in, stayed, enjoyed it and flew out. Alaska is beautiful, wildlife state . I’m in my early 40s now. If I was younger, I would join the Air Force Reserves or Navy Reserves too. Lots of benefits being a military reservist. I hope you have a nice overall reservist experience. Good luck. 🇺🇸
It was amazing video ,editing, content, and... I was watching your previous videos from a year ago until now. But you make angry me because you are really really good at this kind of video that you are making but one video in 4 months that isn't fair 😢😢😢 You are really really really great but please make more video not just 1 in 4 months please ❤❤❤😅 Thanks It might be wonder you But I'm watching you from iran...😊
So I saw snippets of Alaska, even saw you at Market Basket but i saw Maine on a bridge sign, were you TDY to JBER? I was stationed at Eielson but also grew up in Alaska??
We used to but the local family that owned them(3-4) changed the store name and parent company affiliation. It might have been a coincidence with the name because after researching the “east coast” chain they apparently have had no stores in Alaska. BTW, the reason I thought you might have been in Alaska was because of the hotel signs you showed, one sign appears to say “Anchorage…” which is the largest town in Alaska and is home to JBER(Elmendorf AFB/ Fort Richardson), it was probably a hotel sign with reference to the nautical term “anchorage”! So I hope you had a good career, I spent 10, 6 of which were active duty and my primary AFSC was “security”! I have 27.5 years in public safety and medically retired in 96’ from the fire service/EMS side. Thanks for your videos! rt
I loved this, my younger sister has been in the Army since October and my older sister has been in the Navy for a couple years so I started thinking about somewhere I could fit in
I’ve been looking into joining the air national guard heavily recently and thought about being a hydraulic mechanic. Could you go into more depth about that job you had?
Great video- very informative as I’m researching joint NH ANG. I would be joining as an officer as I have a degree from UNH. JW- are you enlisted level or officer? Thank you for your service.
little late but i was just wondering, is there a general role in the ANG or are they all specialized? I’m in hs and a recruiter told me there’s 50k signing bonuses along with being part time, just not sure how truthful that is.
Every role is specialized and some roles come with bonuses. Talk to your recruiter about which jobs are available and which ones come with bonuses. 50k is unusual but it is possible. When your recruiter gives you the list of available jobs, make sure to consider what you want to do and if it has a bonus attached. Bonuses are fun, but you also want to be happy with what you're doing. Good luck!
@@clarekirste appreciate the advice and info, but just wondering, is it common for part time jobs to have at least some kind of bonus? I know you don’t know 100% but would you say yes there is scenarios where that’s the case
@@patrickwimsatt7492 I work for a local plumber and I have a feeling that would interfere with it. I really think it would be cool to go into the air guard too though so i don’t know.
The Guard is amazing. Legally your employer has to support you, but we all know how that goes. Talk to your employer and see what they say. It is for sure a commitment that, if you join, you have to comply with. I wouldn't let your employer stop you. Even if it meant finding a new job after training.
@@patrickwimsatt7492 I grew up next to an afb so it kinda makes sense I’m into it haha. Started school for plumbing I might join after that. What’s the age limit?
Good to see this. I'm moving over to the guard after 12 years in AD. I already got a good bit of insight, but it's still good to actually see what it's like.
Ahhh I’m looking up companies to sell my junk car and stumbled across this video….i almost cried with you bc my car is literally a 2006 Honda Pilot 😭😭😭so many good memories with this car
