Salary as a civilian vs a military is similar. The military needs to be competitive to keep their personnel. If you know you'll make more money as a civilian the less likely for someone to join. Your military benefits package needs to be factored into your salary because believe it or not it is very significant.

I've been in the airforce almost 4 years and all this information is accurate. However, one thing to consider when joining for college is that you receive 4500 dollars of TA(tuition assistance) each year to go toward the price of your college classes. Any classes in excess of the 4500 will have to be paid for out of pocket, or with your GI bill. You have 100% access to your GI bill after you do half of your enlistment (please double check the ''access'' thing on the internet, cause I'm only 90% sure). In my case, i signed for 6 years and will have my college almost completely paid for by TA around the time I get out. Then I have my GI bill at my disposal for a masters degree. Just some food for thought in case kyle didn't already address this in another video (Great Videos by the way, I wish I had this guidance before I joined.)

I always hear people also say x civilian job pays 2 times as much on the outside or it pays more on the outside. Something to consider with that as well is the cost of living. Housing, utilities, and other bills. Military pays a decent amount. You won't get rich. But in all honesty when you factor in rent and "civilian bills" vs what the military provides for you its not that much of a difference I have found. Your looking at 60k+ to begin to make more on the outside... If you can make more then 60k a year you'll be making more.

wenll it depends on what the civilian job is. If you’re Services, you’ll get marketable skills for fast food or working as an attendant at a fitness club unless you want to be a sous or executive chef putting in your best for culinary skills, work in the federal service as a wage grade cook, or make a career and get a federal job at the Services Activity. Contracting or IT, you can almost write your own ticket for a good job after serving 4 years and without a degree, Security Forces will get you a modest GS-6 job as a civilian cop on base, medical will get you low paying EMT or medical assistant jobs unless you want to further your education and be a nurse or PA, communications is complicated, I don’t know, CE will get you a nice union tradesman job or federal job, munitions will get you a civilian job on base, admin will get you a job as a secretary, whatever I left out, I don’t know. Bottom line is unless you have at least a 4 year degree, federal service is the best you can do post-military. BUT, for those of you wanting to get out, please consider this: a guaranteed paycheck every 2 weeks, opportunity to travel the world for free, almost free education, and 30 days paid leave a year. Oh and free medical and dental.

"They don't really like you taking more than two classes at a time" - False, this completely depends on you. If your supervision can tell classes are effecting your job performance. They can restrict your classes down but I know several Airman who were able to take 2,3,or 4 classes at a time and manage. It is all about the individual. However, if you are denied TA(Tuition Assistance) you still can use GI Bill while serving as active duty. Your supervision can not deny that from you. Overall great and accurate video.

Something else I was told, that enlisting in the military is like agreeing to go to prison. Means that you are agreeing to serve.

One big thing to also consider is re-enlistment bonus's. So while you may not get one or may get a small one see what the re-enlistment bonus's are. For example intel. When I re-enlisted I got 60,000 dollars....half of that tax free and up front since I was deployed when i did it. If I had signed for 4 years I could have gotten it sooner. However at the same time 2 years sooner and I wouldnt have been deployed to get it tax free. So consider the timing of it all in terms of do you want to stay in and re-enlist and if you do is there a sign on bonus? If there is 4 year may be the way to go so you can get to re-enlistment sooner then go for the 6 years. :)

I was in the Marines for eight years and also Desert Storm veteran.they did the stop lose program and it was some pissed off people coming back and people contact up couldn’t go home. My advice don’t believe anything the recruiter says and what is in your enlistment contact means nothing.they can take away things promise nothing you can do.also if you want to go in stay in and retire.

It's worth noting that some jobs requiring 6 year contracts also require a year in tech school. So even if you don't like the job 1 year of it is spent in tech school anyway so it's only a years difference.

After 4 yrs in the Air Force, I went to the unemployment office. They stamp on your paperwork "No Job Experience". No one wants to hire you. The one guy who was going to re-enlist was worked 24 hours, we were on 12 hour shifts, he was told to stay for a 2nd 12hour. He chose to get out instead. You can cross-train, but it stays on your record. If the AF needs the job you hate, guess what, you go overseas doing that job you hate.

Shane Griffin Every military person's experience is different, RU-vid provides a platform for those who are disillusioned by anything (military, makeup, bad relationships, RU-vid subscriber policies) to vent. It's true that the military experience is, more times than not, appreciated more in hindsight. In the military--as in life--the crappy things will pass if you CHOOSE not to hang on to them and allow them to drag you down. You'll tend to find more 'disillusioned ' military folks on RU-vid. Those who aren't are spending their free time going to college; working out; traveling; working on their hobbies; spending time with friends & family and doing so without a camera attached to their arm.

The vast majority of people, regardless of the branch they join or their job, get out after their first enlistment. Very, very few people make it all the way to 20 years, and that's for a variety of reasons. My husband is planning on getting out after his first enlistment, and although I have a feeling he'll be extremely happy to get out, I think he'll also look back on his time in and be thankful for the opportunities. He doesn't regret joining at all, but after 6 years, sometimes you just need a change of pace.

You can cross train if the position you are going to is under manned. I cross trained into Helicopter Flight Engineer(Aircrew Mission Specialist now). The process was actually pretty easy, but that was back in 01-02. Might be harder now. Back then it also required a 6 year reenlistment

AF recruiter here. "My recruiter lied to me" has two sides of the story always remember that. I had a few kids who contacted me after boot camp about something benefit wise that they thought they would receive. Goods kids, but it annoyed the stuff out of me. Why? Because 10 out of 10 times I briefed them about what they were asking before they went to MEPS and signed their contract, they just practiced selective hearing excellently.
@wenll
@wenll 6 лет назад
On the education I actually would say your wrong on....partially. So yes you can get out and go to college full time. However it lasts only 36 months or 3 years. So what you need to actually do is plan. What degree do you want? Where do you want to go? How long will it take you? If you can knock it out in about 3 years then yes do the 4 years. of military. However if your wanting a masters or maybe wanting your degree while saving your gi bill for a family member Id advise going to school while in the military as much as you can so 6 would be better. Last thing you want is to be going to school full time and then final semester or so have to pay out of pocket. Or maybe you'd rather do that then have another 2 years in. Just plan it out.

I take issue with you saying you get paid more on the outside. When you are in, your housing, medical/dental, uniforms are all free. This is HUGE in the real world. Also, it’s the ONLY place you can start in a specialized field with zero prior experience. You can’t just walk up to work on planes in the civilian world. I was a medic. I was trained as a nurse. I passed meds, started IVs and did many dressing changes. In the civilian world, I’d need 4 yr degree before I could give one drug or band-aid. So, you are need to remember- you get much more than just a base pay & you get to bypass prior work experience needed for many jobs in the civilian world.

@SSgtBigSwole
@SSgtBigSwole 7 лет назад
Love your videos but you're wrong about civilians making more. I'm an Air Reserve Technician but I make less than you do as a SSgt. Even though your W-2 says you only make about 30-40k a year, it doesn't include your BAH, BAS, and free healthcare. We don't get any of that and pay for our own healthcare. So you're really making 60-65k when I make 59k. Being a civilian/reservist is a lot better than active IMO and recommend you look into it rather than getting out completely. Just a thought.
