      +Gianni Ludd then don't, no need for people like you anyways, I don't know why the hell some people complain, for four years you will get housing, some sort of food pay, free traveling (with work of course), the GI Bill (have you seen the price of college), usually a transferable job into the civilian world, and if you're smart enough to ask for a sign up bonus (mine is about 10k). Anyways, there should be no fucking complaining, they give you your whole future for free!

      Sloth TheGammer what does that matter ? When all is said and done I'm offering my damn life over for all of that , when really it isn't free , they take fees , from what I hear the free food is shit , I can't have those medical benefits used when I WANT THEM USED not if where I am assigned will not allow for me to do so . IDC about college , if I did I would go on my own damn time and just pay back the student loans you asshole . nobody asked you dude , its MY LIFE and from MY point of view I would say that the things offered aren't worth it . new beginner professional athletes make more in a year than your beloved military veterans , don't believe me , do the research . they offer their lives , yet you mean to tell me that someone who offers simple entertainment makes a higher pay grade then them and you consider that fair for all that you are sacrificing ? You my dude are a complete asshole , I didn't ask for your input dude , your comment could've been kept to yourself . you won't see a damn future if you're signed off to war and killed , you wanna talk benefits , give me immediate benefits that I can enjoy before my life is forever lost . everything should B free , there's no cost for someone's life , why the hell shouldn't I complain you dumbass .

I'm not going into no weak ass reserve . for your information the branch I mostly want is the marines , because I want to do special ops and B front line when we do go to war . the hell do you guys know about me , mind your business . I just want to make sure I get all the benefits promised for sacrificing MY life , which I'm very well aware may happen and don't even mind it . I just wanna make sure I live a good , happy life while I am alive . if you want to know so damn bad , that's what's wrong with the world , people can't just mind their own damn business , they always want to believe they know every little fucking thing . you don't , face facts , white people aren't the only mfs willing to make a sacrifice , whether its for the country or my own self greed , the sacrifice is made none the less , idc for praise , I'm doing of my own free will and want to make sure its all worth it

      +Andre Farrar just out of curiosity, were you ever stationed overseas in japan or anything? Most of the people that I know that had that much money saved up were overseas. despite all my partying in Sasebo and Hawaii, I had a decent nest egg of about 10k when I got out. That came in useful while I was looking for work in Hawaii lol

      It's cultural and genetic. Compared to the rest of the world, Asians have strong close family units and centuries of discipline and respect for authority. Asians work very hard and very smart. Corea is a good example. South Corea has the highest average IQ in the world and the world's number one school system. Therefore, it's not surprising that such a small country as South Corea is the world's 11th largest economy and 6th largest exporter. Amazing!

    I think the reason Y they make u pay 4 stuff at 1st is another form of discipline bkuz alot of young people had their parents buy them stuff all the time. It gets u used to the idea of managing ur own $$. After E3 pay doesn't sound bad and he didn't mention the sign on bonus or the many benefits that come along with joining. It beats having to worry about getting fired, health care or rent, I know that.

      When I joined the Army, an E1 got $68 per MONTH. E2 got around $74 per MONTH, and an E3 got $97.37 per MONTH. E4 went to around $122 and E5 was about $160 I seem to remember. BUT food, barracks, medical, uniforms were all paid for by the Army. You had to pay for shoe polish and personal items and your own haircuts. When I got out, I was an E5 over 4 (years of service) and base pay then was $250. That's how it was back in 1960-1966... big changes since then! ;-)

    I don't know about Navy bootcamp but in the Marine Corps bootcamp they hooked us up with a bank account and it came with a ATM card. we get a uniform allowance for uniforms and food allowance for food. the recruits are responsible for buying supplies such as cleaning supplies to clean the squad by and their uniforms plus toiletries and personal hygiene stuff.

    • @letsroll2463
      @letsroll2463 7 років тому +7

      It depends on many factors, she could've been even charged on her last check leaving the military without her noticing, happen to me when i left to my new unit when i thought i turned everything in.
      It can also be when she left they were switching to a new uniform pattern which usually takes 2-3 years to transition to, so they wouldn't bother taking the old pattern back.
      Depends what branch or if you're full time, which im not anymore, what specific branch your mom was in?

    My first check post navy boot camp when I graduated in September 2003 was for 344.00 dollars. I remember going to PSD and was asking for a recount. I made more money than that working as a cashier at Best Buy while I was a senior in high school before joining. I didn't start seeing 500 dollar checks until about two years later.

    I was regular then reserve Army in the sixties. We were not charged anything except fot px haircuts. We recieved monthly uniform maintenance around $8. A E3 then recieved $74 monthly plus additional ad ons as overseas, hazardous duty pay. Once you finished basic your promoted to e2 from e1. At six months and not in any training school you were promoted to E3. From then on promotions were determined by the rank going with the slot and time required to get promoted.
    Usually when you reached E6 you were sent to the NCO academys. Back then specialist ranks did not carry much of any athority other than what went with your job slot. Regular sergeants usually held slots of authority such as squad leaders or department heads etc.

    Well things have changed, I joined the USMC in 1958, my Ei pay was $89.00 a month, then went to Okinawa a year later pay was $129.00 a month which was $ 4.30 a day or .18 cents an hour.

    Military enlisted members starting out get paid low. And most going in as enlisted are 18-25. BUT, shelter, electric and gas bills, food, medical and dental care are paid for. Plus almost free education and 30 days paid vacation a year. Even if you have benefits with a professional job on the outside, a big chunk of your paycheck is going to them. You have E5’s and E6’s with single earner families nowadays owning nice new homes and cars, whereas in my day they could afford a nice apartment or older run down small home in a lower middle class neighborhood if they lived within their means. As for officers, an 01 right out of OTS or the Academy makes about as much as an E6 and all the same benefits, except they don’t live in dorms with food and shelter paid for.
    I think it’s best to live as a civilian at least a year or two after you get out or retire to make your own conclusions. For institutionalized folks like myself that made it a career, the federal service is your best bet.

    Being single kinda sucks in the military. Coming as a E1 not married your making like 750 every 2 weeks after taxes if that... but if you think about it.. your housing & food is paid for... you get the best insurance/benefits... so you get to POCKET your entire check... yet a civilian who makes 2000/month .. probably has to pay 700-800 for a small apartment plus 200 in utilities maybe 300 in food and your only left with 800$$... which is 200/ a week... not including gas... car payment/ insurance.. phone bill etc... so technically since you make less you still come out on top because the biggest expenses are taken care of... so from a civilians point of view.. you 1500$ AFTER BILLS in the army .. which money you do what you want with ... which is actually pretty good to me..

It's called practice and 1 thing I know about the Army so far is that you want to make an Impression. Especially what I want to do which is my selected MOS. 11 Alpha, Infantry Officer. I'll be able to lead my own squad and when I rank up in that position I'll eventually be able to handle my own battalion.

When I can put that addiction to rest I will have proven to myself that I am worthy to serve in the U.S Army and that anything they throw at me I'll be able to take.

    i dont know who told you that you get paid under a e-1 at basic but that isnt true. everyone gets paid e-1 while there in basic it doesnt matter if there an e-2 or e-3. after basic they will start getting paid there full pay grade and for the time in basic they where getting paid as a e-1 they get a back pay on the differants of paygrades. so if you come in as a e-1 pass the exam the whole time there you will get e-2 pay when you graduate but if you get a promotion at the end of basic you will only get what your paygrade was at the beginning of basic was. the only reason why i know this cause i talked to my rdc's and nmti at a school cause i saw i had 3 grand in my account and was from the 2 months of basic and the back pay i got too.
