"A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on a farm. Every meal is a banquet, every paycheck is a fortune and every formation is a parade. Damn I love the Corps!!!" Aliens Sempre Fi 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

great video! i want to join the marines, and plan on it still but when people ask me why the best answer i can give is "i want the title and benefits that come along with it." but yes being responsible would be the best thing you can do when you start seeing the money numbers start rising.

I left boot camp with between 700-800$. This was back in 2006 when E-1 salary was a little over 1k a month. I thought I would be leaving with 3k+ but all your uniform issues are taken out of your pay. Looks like monthly salary has doubled now, but uniform prices have probably doubled as well.

You're going to make it big in KZfaq. You keep it real, no bs I'm planning to enlist when I get my green card. While I'm waiting I'm training my body, running push-ups pull ups planks etc, and informing myself by watching amazing videos like this one

Great video Marine !!

In 1969 as a non-married private, my monthly salary was $300.00. Three years later as an E5, my monthly income was $500.00. I did get jump pay of $50.00 per jump. In Vietnam, I got $50.00 per month hazardous duty pay. When I left service after 6 years and making E6, I was making $800.00 a month.

Great video.

thank you brother useful video!

Duarte, nice video keep it up!!

Thank you very much for your help & I wish you get what you deserve

🙏 I hope u having a Good Friday fellow Chicano marine

This helps im married currently talking to a recruiter soon, i didnt know about BAH so this helps a TON thank you bro

this video helped me a lot, I'm going to boot camp in 23 days these tips will definitely help

Good video bro you mind making a video on bootcamp tips I’m shipping out Monday the 1st just wanted some insight who’s kinda fresh out also how old are you?

I made $880,60 a month when I did Basic in the Army back in 89 and that's because upon AIT graduation I had an E2.

As a Lance corporal in 1969 I received $78.00 every two weeks! Try that one out! We were always broke! Even back then there isn't to much you can do with that. I can laugh about this now. Back then it was accepted without question that it was the way things were.

Lite work

Hey, there's a recruiter that wants me to come into his office tomorrow for more questions about marine Corp. And I was wondering if you think that after the boot camp do they continue with other things that would give you the same pay or... sumthing else

Duarte where's your family from in Mexico? my stepdad is a Duarte

Duarte couldnt wait for the chance to grow that mustache as a Marine…

basically not much u either join in as e1-2 and u might get e3 if u lucky and u try hardenough

Hope you are able to live on a paycheck like that, lol I graduated as a pfc in 1962 and my base pay was 62.80 per month; and doubled my pay almost with a$50. per month dependant allotment. Then her father found out we got married and threw her out so had to get an apartment until we could get base housing !!

Is there a basic training in sam Diego? Can you choose where to go o how does this work ?

In October 1969 (when I went in) base pay had just got increased to $110.15 a month. It had previously been $96.10 per month. Just after training, I was getting $45 per payday (that was after taxes and withholdings). I saved for two paydays so I could buy a set of dress blues (a little over $50.00). They didn't issue dress blues then, and I wanted to have the best looking uniform that I was and ever have been entitled to wear.

How does a Sunday look like during boot camp ? What do you do ? Is it like a chill Sunday or what goes on during Sunday

Hey I have a question. I’m joining 09M in one month, and my recruiter told me I would still be payed during the delayed entry program is it true?

If I were your D.I that Escobar mustache would never exist 🤣

They tell you to buy all that so you the next cycle of recruits have shit if they need it

In 1986 I left Boot Camp with 750 dollars in Travelers checks. I though I was rich. When I was an E4 I made 410 per pay period with 50 dollars extra for sea pay.

got married right away? or before?

Can I get BAH , after boot camp and after mos school? Or am I forced to live on the barracks ?? I am 26 joining late I know

Bro how do you get BAH My fucking recruiter ain’t telling me shit . I passed my Picat verification over a a week ago . Just waiting to piss clear then I’ll head to meps for physical. Im a single male I pay child support can I qualify for BAH??

Big homie Zorro

Can you get BAH if you join as a reservists?

Hi I I'm curious during the time you were in bootcamp does everybody still wear the masks for covid?

Marines don’t do “basic training.” They do Boot Camp.

You need to correct your mustache devil! It's out of regs!

Great video Jose. Do you have an email or social media so I can ask more questions?

I made e enough money to get blind drunk, a tattoo, and a woman. One day a month.

Wait.....there was pay involved??? I honestly don't remember how much I got in basic. I don't think it was very much though.
