Or possibly the airforce with so much more potential after you've done your time in the military? Younger people like to rush into everything blindfolded, just take a second and do some soul searching cause if you're not 100 percent certain in your choice you might regret it later

REview: 1-Go in with an open mind. You may serve longer than one term, or may just serve one. 2-Your job is not what you may think it is. Find someone who was in the job to talk to. Do not trust the commercials. 3-Follow the protocols. If its repairs, you are liable for someone's life if they loose it as a result of your lack of discipline in your job. 4-When you sign, the military owns you. You give up many rights and privileges. Where you travel, going on vacation etc. The 5th amendment doesn't apply as much. Double Jeopardy: If you get a ticket or get in trouble outside of the military, the military will double down on your punishment. You are representing the service as such, behave.

I've been retired now for 8 years after serving 24 yrs in the AF. This by far is one of the best, well spoken videos I have seen regarding the choices people make and the expectations they have when they join. I had spent many countless hours counseling young airmen on these exact issues he spoke of. One thing I always told my airmen was "you are an airman 24/7. unless you get out before retirement, you are always an airman, and always on duty." I'm very glad we have someone like Airman Vision to educate any future airmen/soldiers/sailors/marines. Thank you for your video and for your service!

I started planning for retirement before I ever joined. I watched my dad having spent only 10 years active get out, with no permanent income to fall back on. He has worked stupidly hard all of his life and I learned from watching that. At 16 I planned to retire by the time I was 55, and not a day later. I was actually able to retire at 40 thanks to meticulous planning. That did take great luck to achieve though. So many of my friends were hurt badly during training or killed in a helicopter crash. that could have easily been me. It definitely takes planning, AND a good amount of luck. TSP is a fantastic program. I lived smaller than I could, made contributions to it, and have been carefully managing it ever since I left at retirement. I am close now to having enough in there to drop some serious coin on the last house I will ever live in. Life is good when you plan for it.

If I could give a particular piece of vital information I’ve learned from life to any kid who’s 16 or 17 it’d be exactly what you said (adding in don’t smoke & if you want to use drugs, do so very sparingly). I was, unfortunately, a lot like your dad & have spent much of my life struggling to get by. It could’ve been so much easier. I don’t expect people to feel bad for me, I just want them to gain some information from my ignorance. 🙂

That's what I wanted for my son, but I couldn't verbalize it in a way for him to understand and he was not going to listen to good old mom without understanding. He'd be 18 years in now already, but got out after just 6. By the time he decided he wanted to stay in he'd let his PT fall enough to not qualify, shooting himself in the foot. He has HUGE regrets now that he knows he'll live with the rest of his life. He does still treasure his time in the military.

When I joined the USAF, in July of 1965, I wasn't thinking about any of these things. I simply wanted to avoid mucking around in Vietnam, where the local guys and gals would be shooting at me or generally trying to take my life. I was 17 when I joined. I got my draft notice 2 days after turning 18. I was still in basic training. I was a medical technician and loved my job. I considered a career in the Air Force. But instead I separated in 1969 and used the GI Bill to get a college degree. I did not like the idea of being owned by my employer. I have a lot of respect for the people who join the military these days. They are all volunteers and there is still a lot of danger in this world. So whether you work in an office, motor pool, hospital or in harm's way, thank you for your service.

I enlisted the air force for six years. You are spot on! I went in expecting to stay in for 20 years. I went to Davis monthan, tinker, Osan then back to DM. I even tested and made E-5 first time testing. What I expected and what really happened were two different things. When I went back to DM the captain at the time that I pissed off was a major when I returned to DM he was the squadron commander. When It was time to reenlist he subjectively did not recommend me for reenlistment. So 6 years was all I got. I will say people in the military today have many more rights that I did when I joined.

Kyle, I would like to add something about the TSP. I lived in the dorms and had a beater car. No payments meant for me to put in 15% and the gov matched 5%. I put on SrA and raised it to 20%. I'm putting just under $500 into it a month and I save $1,000 into my savings. I also don't spend money on a lot of stuff. I've kept my beater car running and I live within my BAH/BAS. Leaves me about $200-$300 a check for play money. Lots of video games and hanging out with friends. I'm not suffering at all and I'm setting myself up. Also! Go to school kids! I'm almost done with my CCAF and I'll start the AU-ABC program to finish my Bachelor's hopefully before I get out. Set yourselves up guys. I'll have 0 worries wether I stay in or get out.

Very proud of my time and what I did ; got injured and probably have been discharged eventually due to medical issues, but left after 4 years for personal reasons. I later worked for the VBA for 30 years, so I figure I did my time serving my country. Worked as "Claims Assistant " processing Compensation and Pension claims for veterans, widows, dependents, orphans, and lots more. Best job I ever did ; I miss the comrades I worked with alot though ! Much respect to all veterans, I still assist vets when and where I can, and I love doing so !

Leave can be pretty brutal during holidays especially if you are in a mission critical space. Career field choice is SO important when signing up to the military. You covered a lot of great topics Kyle. Great video!😁👊

@@applelewins if you are applying to be in the military, WAIT for your career field to open a slot. Dont settle. Also, being in mission critical jobs, they will work with you on your leave (time off) but it one varies and can be difficult to take during holiday seasons.

I'll probably be shipping to basic next year. Gotta remove the tattoos on my hands and slim my core. These tips are great to keep in mind and I'll probably rewatch this video at a later date to refresh the knowledge

I am finally joining the military after waiting for 10 years due to life events. 10 years ago "I was going to join the coastguard and do my 20" I am now open-minded to the fact that I may not like it. So, that is why I chose a job with skills that can easily (at least I think) transition into a civilian job in case in 4 years I decide that the military isn't for me. I am now joining the Air Force because that is the branch that my husband is in and it is easier to be mil-to-mil if I join the same branch.

@Airman Vision Your advice and insights are worth more than their weight in gold! I just turned 36 and I'm strongly considering going into the Air Force to learn a technical trade as well as assimilate discipline and spirit. Will you do a video on older people entering the military and your take on it if you have not done so already? Lastly, thank you for your service!
