Joined the Army National Guard for six years. I deployed to Iraq for a year. I left the military with a 100 percent permanent and total rating. Not bad. Now I work in the federal government as a GS 13. I am set for life.
Slow down. Take a deep breath. Lol Sounds like you didn’t speak to a counselor and or really didn’t inquire about the different jobs available. Did you think of Security Forces or Admin?
I'm army aviation mechanic, I picked that job on a whim without any mechanical knowledge lol, I HATED it so much at first but then loved it. Now I hate being a SGT because I'd rather do the work than delegate, but oh well, maybe I'll get used to it. But at the moment I WANT OUT lol
Hi thank you so much for the video.. I am interested in enlisting for 4 years active duty, the recruiter was confusing and made it sound like I wouldn't get the tuition money until 6 years after my enlistment... that really didn't make sense to me. so it is true that you are eligible for tuition money through the GI bill, as soon as you get out (after 4 years)? The tuition assistance is one of the main reasons I want to enlist. I am glad to see that someone who did 4 years is eligible for free college ! congrats and thanks for the information
I was never as upset for not being selected for reenlistment. I received the standard Honorable Discharge and walked towards the door. My parents were moving across the country, and I didn't want to live off of them. I was on the verge of homelessness. With hard work, and lots of luck...I've done very well and have a net value of $2 million. You are only limited by your efforts and imagination. Good luck.
ayyyyye I'm E/E and was on the buffs at Barksdale over at the 20th AMU! I'm c-130s now in Japan! people couldn't believe I got orders out of Barkatraz after only a year on station lol.
Heyy beautiful! Thank you for this! I need to get to work on my skin now & Ive been looking for tips! My bday is coming next month so I know you feel me! Lol 💖🥰
Yeah if yall had claims we at TMO would tell you file a claim. Luckily being TMO I aint have them issues. This is good vid. I still got my TSP sitting there.
Once you receive your Gi bill certificate how long should you enroll for school? Is there a deadline for that ? I heard you have 2 months to enroll if not they gonna withdraw your certificate.. Im not sure they telling the truth tho!…
How are you holding up now in the civilian world? Also, have you adjusted to working with civilians? I’m just genuinely curious as I am getting out of the Military soon. Thank you for your honesty. I can relate to a lot of the things you’ve mentioned.
It was challenging at first but now I’m used to it. It took me a few months to get readjusted to civilian life and most definitely working with civilians but now it’s not so bad. I’ll always miss my military folks though lol
Crystal, Thank you for this video. Very informative. However, how much does 9/11 GI bill pay per month for TUITION? On the Air Force website, I read they pay 36 months at $392 per month - that is only $14,112 total. Scroll down further, and they list that you can get $2,210 per month ( I assume for 36 months) - that is $79,560 total. So, which is it? I'm confused! Please comment! Thanks! (Like the Romans 10:9-10!)
Sorry for the late response! If you do full time, You’ll be getting the full rate depending on the zip code your school is located in. Full time means taking hybrid AND online classes.
2 months left for me!!! Not happy being in the Air Force anymore. It’s time for me to do something new and enjoy life. 6 years is enough for me. Going back to my HBCU in a few months!!! 💯
