@@ivanrivera5130 lmao

All services have the same basic pay for ranks based on time and grade. The military has a tricky pay system as there are many incentives but it all depends on one's job and their location. First, don't count the incentives as income and don't include the benefits of purchasing power. They all are perks to entice enlistment to military life. They do not have any benefit outside of military life. And she hit the nail on the head when she said "we should get paid more." For the time away from family, the risk of health and life and removal from soceity to network for a future a gig, the requirement to stay physically fit, they are underpaid and never will be paid their value. That is how capaitalism works. The key thing that was not clarified is that her pay and incentives are based on her military job, her schoolings and her location. So her pay would not be the same for everyone in the Navy with her rank and time in grade unless the had the same job, incentives and location. She briefly hit on the difference in pay for being off shore compared to being on shore. I was in the Army so it was the combat arms that really had the incentives for different schoolings and location for duty. The other trick is for all services is before joining know what incentives are available via research and multiple recrutiers. The recruiters do not always tells recruits what is available to them. So be a hard sell and not an easy sell when dealing with recruiters. The easier it is to reel you in the less they need to tell you. And always have their offerings in writing before signing.

Kenny JumpSquad good luck

Kenny JumpSquad Good luck love. I’m still waiting to be shipped off.

Kenny JumpSquad I wanna know how it went bc I ship out April 27

MOE’S NO SAINT I’m getting sent home to go back to training in September my only advice is go out and run every single day that mile and a half run in freedom hall in no joke. If u fail everyone is going to tell u separation is fun u get to watch tv but it’s not. So go run everyday and study your rank and the name of the ppl in high ranks or you will be a very strong sailor you’ll figure out what that means soon 🤣🤣

MOE’S NO SAINT I ran so hard to pass the test I ended up with multiple stress fractures and I refused medical because u will be RCU for 2-3 months before going back to training I refused so they sent me home to heal and I’ll come back when I can run that mile and a half in 14 min without killing hurting myself lol

Deal or no Deal Productions thank you for your service

Thank you so much for your service

E4 makes about 22-2300 a month. If your BAH is not even 2,000 a month then how does that add up to 4800???

@@popeyethesailorboy8905 They pay a substinance allowance monthly for the amount of about 380. and my BAH is right next to 2,000. Plus hazard duty pay.

Deal or no Deal Productions but you just said your in a “non combat” area so where does the hazardous duty pay come in...

Thank you love !! Thank you for your support as well

DLICIOUS42 you know a college graduate that just join could start with E-4 I think

@@rj5014 Oh ok. Didn't know that. A lot has changed since when I served

@@rj5014 False. Highest you can come out of boot-camp is E-3. Degree can start you off as E-3, not as an E-4.

Den V. Incorrect, I have a bachelor degree and I’m joining as an E-4

@@SpiritVerdad I am 100% positive I'm right. Your recruiter is lying to you. LMFAO!

Never lose sleep over the small stuff Damn the game is to be sold, not told smh

No cap but do you be cheating or him something or worried about him cheating cause I’m about to join the Army

jungle bungalow As long as you don’t get in trouble, stay green to make sure you get promoted, and stay in. It’ll be worth it in the end.

Same here I’m 22 I shipping out March 3 as a E1 😣😣 I hope it’s worth it

I would love to know abt that job bro

.

jungle bungalow you do know if you do good in boot camp you will be a E-3 at the end when you graduate

Your welcome hun

Thank you 💕💕

Oh, just to add, COLA is available in the U.S. in places like NY and I believe some areas of California and elsewhere where BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) does not stack up to the extremely high local cost of living. I had a friend move back to NY on recruiting duty, move in with her mother, and collect BAH, COLA, and BAS, along with other allowances and incentive pay. COLA has been drastically changed recently though with nearly 50 cities dropped from the list and others receiving a decreased rate. Keep up the good work with your postings! Dubai and Qatar (possibly off limits now), were two of the best times on deployment.

Thank you for the insight ! Qatar isn’t off limits we had it on your schedule last deployment

@@ZENEZ yeah I had a friend there and visited from Bahrain in early 2017, then the same day we were supposed to have a port call, I think June 5, 2017, Qatar got kicked out the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) and we sat there looking at the country but couldn't leave the ship. I mentioned this before but I know someone that was Plank Owner and on the Mason maiden deployment in 2004.

Ummmmm lol?

No problem !

William Gordon why ? Can u explain? I’m 27 and make $23 hr a federal job but only get 1250 a paycheck. Should I join? Love to meet older people and have them give their perspective on life.

@Chris S, and the latest bag..

WiseX Rob is 27 to old?

josephpa05 cut off is 35 I believe

Awww thank you !

I’m an OS love and I’m not too familiar with the aviation rates

I’m an AC, and yes, we rank up pretty quickly.

Jaunté Love did you enlist as an E1 first? Also how long have you been enlisted!

@@quannyewithquality5674 No, I came in as an E3 because I had college under my belt. I made E4 and E5 quickly, and taking the E6 exam this year. I have been in for 4.5 years. My friend who is an AC has been in the same amount of time as me, and she just made E6.

Jaunté Love my navy friend has been in for 8 years and I believe he’s a E6 as an engineer. He told me that if I come in with my associates then I can rank up to a E3 or just get a boot camp job

ladominque hamiton you can wear braids , you can wear box braids.Just as long as it’s ina bun & it doesn’t get in the way of you wearing a cover (hat)

@@niyasiagrant45 I saw a girl that braids and they were in a bob, is that still ok as well?

ladominque hamiton yes that’s fine. Make sure the bob is like alil under your chin , if it’s touching the collar of your uniform they might make got cut it .

@@niyasiagrant45 ok perfect!! Thank you

Thank you love !!

That’s so crazy !!

Chantale Cherry they make u take a linguist test . It’s kinda hard, but u have to take that to qualify

Don’t assume you’ll like your time in, maybe after your first contract you’ll hate it and you’ll want to leave ASAP, so I’d say play it year by year, you got it though, good luck

@@freddyvicunamoreno883a bit harsh but true

You have got to be extremely lucky but good on ya, i personally have never seen an intern job pay 16+/hr and that was in LA

How?

Wooooo that’s crazy !

Umm it depends on how you leave . If that makes sense

I will love it’s coming soon

STUDY!

I’m not on a carrier I’m on a destroyer , the USS MASON

Sturm breakers if you’re in the military you get paid twice a month.

Shesayummy1 Yeah tell that to the UCFR that your Commander signs every month that breaks down pay date or dates, base pay, entitlements, bonus, etc

I don’t know a single person who only gets paid once a month. All of your entitlements are divided between two pay periods.

Shesayummy1 Yeah I didn’t know anyone either but as most were officers or senior enlisted and I had to pull the reports to check for inaccuracies and have the commanders sign it and submit to finance every month I think I would know.

Sturm breakers If you say so

1250 a week ?

Fastrada no $1,250 every 2 weeks. If I go in the military as an E1 I’ll be making. $600 every two weeks. Pretty much my 1 paycheck for a whole month. That’s why idk if I should join. I probably won’t be getting money until my 4th year in. Hustling backwards.

Are you married ?

Fastrada no I’m single no kids no nothing small family brother & mom that’s it.

Fastrada are u in the military?

E5

xBoli 😗same

How

@@getpaaiid3244 i did 3yrs of jrotc in high school, im about to finish my 4th year and go to bc after the summer.

All you need is 40 college credits for e-3

Not really , but I can ask around to a few of my friends that have commissioned what kind of questions do you have ?

22 In Michigan too joining soon and yes you probably should especially at a younger age (18) don't wait too long.

If you have no direction or something you want to do, you are young so learn about the benefits of military and about the world and your interests. By going into the military you should be able to give up 4 years of your life to get most of the benefits if not all of them. If you are going the military you should join straight at 18 so you get out at 22 and have plenty of you prime life years left. (any age below 20)

Yes almost all seamen pact go straight to a ship

The Navy picks for you. After boot camp you'll go to A-School. While at A-School they let the sailors make a wish list of their top five preferences for your first duty station, but it's a wish list. Ultimately the Navy is going to send you where they need you.

Maritza Contreras you get BAH which should cover the cost of living where your home is. So yes, you will have the money to cover it. They don’t actually pay the rent for you.

No, so if you get stationed overseas you will just have to move your family, because at that point you’ll be getting OHA to live overseas

I wouldn’t necessarily say no I believe it’s circumstantial. Myself and our son were left in the states and my husband stationed overseas. We couldn’t join him (although we wanted to desperately) He still received BAH to pay rent for the apartment we were in the states, and also received OHA for being overseas and lived off base. It may depend on circumstances but it can be done. He had to do some paperwork but the BAH never stopped for us and he continued to receive OHA. Either way he was able to pay both rents in both countries while still getting the other incentives. This was 2017/2018

how?

You will always get BAS , no matter what, the only difference is if you are attached to a ship it goes straight to the ship so you don’t even see it, if your on shore duty you get your BAS
