I just requested the manual for my son. Since he told me that wants to join the Coast Guard, I'm searching for all kind of information that can help him to be prepare for this journey and can't wait for him to receive this book. Thank you! 🤩
Perhaps too much to ask, but can you make a video on the pay & benefits for joining the Coast Guard Reserves? Wish I'd have thought this seriously about it sooner, but better now than never, filling out my application as we speak! Thank you.
Absolute respect! Thank you so much for these videos. You have honestly opened my eyes to how wasteful/aimless I've become. I'm done wasting my life away at some dead-end job. Coast Guard time. I'll look into your book. I need to at least pay you in some form for these informative videos. Best of luck to you!
Damn you are being super smart about this I was wondering if i would be able to have a comfortable future I know if I do it right I won't have a problem
Julian, you’re one of my favorite youtubers, I’m a future coastie (September 3rd) and your videos help out a lot. Please keep making videos and I hope to serve along side you.
Bro, i plan on joinin Coastguard soon. I hope to find shipmates like u and gettinf into investing and using the benefits ti my advantage as well. Great content and i appreciate all the tips and finance advice.
Just to keep in mind for those interested in single Soldiers. We get 0 housing allowance due to barracks living, 0 bah which is semi covered by dfac/cafeteria and other accommodations that the military offers. Yes it sucks to be single and live in barracks though cost of living is substantially lower than those married. If Soldiers got paid better our lives/living standards would go up which would follow with better mental health.
What if you wanted to live aboard your own boat? I plan on joining the Coast Guard and will be going through MEPS soon. But instead of living in a apartment then a house, my plan was to live aboard my own sailboat at some point.
I know this is an older video but was hoping for some insight. I'm 26, paying a mortgage on a home and I'll be talking to a recruiter in january and was wondering what the best option would be if whether its renting it out as im in a desirable location or just selling it to not deal with the headaches. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Wow I can't believe it. When I was in the Air Force 1978 I made 6000.00 a year as a E-4 single in Germany. And worked in the Officer Club part time. That why I got out.
You are offering terms that the civilian is not aware of.... You're essentially talking to someone who's already serving about something they already know.
So could someone live off of 0$ and just gas light their retirement? if this is possible how long would you have to serve until you could retire? also for this say the highest rank is e3 or e4. at least for the first "deployment"
Do you think it's possible to live comfortably off of E3 pay? I have a college degree but am thinking about enlisting and becoming a BM. I live pretty frugally and only really spend money on food and other minor expenses. Any recommendations to improve the pay I will receive? And if you think it's realistic to be able to live off of that. (I'm Single 22 y/o) Thanks!
@@militaryjourneymen Thanks. And do you recommend building credit in order to purchase a house? Is a credit score required to purchase a home with a VA loan?
Thinking about signing up for the coast Gaurd soon. I’ve talked to recruiters also about to take a practice ASVAB. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on what jobs I should try for? Also can anyone explain how the bonus works and when it’s actually received? I’m just curious and don’t wanna ask the recruiters and seem dumb lol. They just explain all the jobs very quick and don’t rlly talk about the bonuses, but I know they range due the test scores. Anyways any advice or recommendations is much appreciated!!
So quick question, when you get paid every 1st and the 15th is the $1227.70 total for the month or is that $1227.20 paid each 1st and the 15th of the month
bro can we best friends (well it would be awkward because I know your finances) 😂 Amazing vid. I am going army 15T and will chase 153D (goal is to fix my life and become a helicopter pilot) while in college.
Glad to hear it! I'd say the same except I've gotta make an extra trip to the recruiting office (2 and a half hours away) because he gave me the wrong medical pre-screening. :)))))))))
