Jesus christ! Well you can trust Navy Federal with it, they only wanna add money to your account (your paychecks) and I never had a single issue with them.
This is going to be me. My parents have already told me NOT to sign up for navy federal, to give my current bank info (that they have access to), and if I do sign up I need to mail them the information once I get it. Because I owe them a monthly car payment and they are taking care of my dog so “I’m not off the hook in bootcamp”.

@@poeber Yeah so once you're gone you're gone. It's your life and nobody can say anything. I'd say hey thanks for the suggestion but I'm making a bank account nobody has any control of but me and if you don't like it that's tough tamales. Pay back any money you legit owe to anyone but nobody should control your career but you after you join. You're an adult. Holding the dog hostage for money is unfortunate.

Damn that’s cold 😂😂 momma sent you off to the wolves to die and is taking every dime on your way out 😂 definitely assign the life insurance over to someone else at that point. Leave the witch with a surprise.
My enlistment bonus is supposed to be $35,000, shipping out in September. $15,000 for joining the reserves and $20,000 for the job (or the other way around). You have to make your home work and tell recruiters to look up bonuses in their internal documents. They might not even know about most of them. And then, you have to make sure those classifiers at MEPS put these numbers in your contract.
100% right. Nobody is gonna care about our careers like we do, to them we're just numbers passing over their desk. Also make sure you don't get sent back in training or you forfeit the bonus. Best of luck!

@@onlybetasgetoffendedbystri8030 If you can't pass some part of training, lik the shooting range or swim or fire fighting, you'll be held back to do it again. It's like failing a grade in school. All your friends continue without you and you're put in a different division that is now arriving at the part of training you failed at. If that happens, you lose your enlistment bonus.
i didn't talk about signing bonus at all. im starting bottom of the food chain. E-1. but signing bonus is up to $140k now depending on what rate you get
@@bryanr7622 You should get a giant enlistment bonus for that, eh? Either way, you'll make 6 figures when you rejoin the civilian workforce to do the same job.
@@HaedenBeck yessir 75k for the bonus, it’ll get taxed but still good money. If you reenlist for Nuke after your 6 years they bump it up to a 100k bonus.

I’m joining the Navy due to the enlistment bonus. My recruiters say they have no authority to say how much or if any enlistment bonus but MEPs will let me know. I’m waiting for MEPs to call my recruiter back after we submitted the family care plan. I left the Army as an E-4, so I guess MEPs will let me know if I can get my E-4 back or not. 😅
Just make sure that the enlistment bonus is on the contract. Read the whole thing. Despite whatever fairy tales the recruiters and MEPS tell, the only thing that matters is the contract. If it ain't there, it ain't happening. I hope you get E-4, it's not as easy to get as before now. Best of luck!
Dear Mr. Beck, my name is Jeovanna, I am Brazilian and I am enlisting in the USNavy now in June / July 2024. I want to know if I am eligible for the New Enlistment Bonus and how should I do to be eligible if I am not eligible for this benefit for new enlistments? ... Thank you for your attention and I await your response.....?
did you enlist as active duty or reserves? I just joined and am shipping out on January 23 but am thinking of switching over to reserves so I can finish college.
I ship out on the 2nd, I'm doing reserve, I'll say go reserve for the number of years you've got to go to college then switch to officers after your college. I am going in as e-3 and I'll be doing my masters afterwards then I'll go for try the officers role. Sometimes they say it's easy to switch to office as an active duty but I'm not sure of that.
Wait a sec, I don't remember hearing that the enlisted had to pay for their own stuff....when did this happen? I was in the Navy 20 years ago for the Bushes and Clinton, and I never heard this complaint from my enlisted....did they just not know they were getting charged or was this something that occurred recently?
I mean you're issued everything but the costs are deducted from your checks. The rest of your career you buy everything yourself. Yeah we get a uniform allowance once a year but it's not necessarily gonna cover everything.
Im on my way to bootcamp on August 28th, starting at E-3, however, I sadly did not get any bonuses right before I joined/picked an occupation as a sailor. They said... most jobs right now are occupied... and since I am not a US citizen yet, the job lists i've received were less than normal? Almost seemed like I joined at the wrong time. sadsge
They're trying to push you into the jobs they're being told to push people into. Also your ASVAB narrows down what jobs are available with the score not being high enough.
@@HaedenBeck Cool. My friend who joined 2 years ago, got a 10k bonus, unlike me... any reason for that? I chose HMDA btw is that any good? I'm just still unsure what exactly I do as a HMDA, clean people's teeth? I figured I could use the degree I earned in the Navy once I decide to get out of Navy.
@@defiantjv2920 It's better to talk to a corpsman about HM stuff, all I can really say is that the A school seemed very difficult and once you pass everything you're pretty much an assistant. It's not a bad stepping stone. Definitely a huge battle to distinguish yourself and get promoted, it's the biggest rating in the navy. Different enlistment bonuses are available at different times, usually depending on how badly the navy wants to fill a certain job or have a certain number of people join, at certain times. Best of luck!
If you’re that “broke” why aren’t you filing claims for service connected disability? Oh wait, let me guess, “the VA doesn’t care about us” is your mentality.
i originally signed for a E1 but im being changed to a E2 cause i convinced a friend of mine to join. If i were to get another one id be a E3 just letting yall in the comments know if you can convince someone to join they’ll Rank u up before boot camp
Make sure that's in writing and not just spoken word. I believe it's a condition that they COMPLETE boot camp also, not just sign up. "But my recruiter said..." is not going to fly anywhere.
@@HaedenBeck Shes got a waiver going thru should take about a week but she’ll hit boot camp before 2024 as well as me. Said once her waiver goes thru we fill out and send up some form to mets to have me drop at boot camp as a E2 instead of a E1
So you have to pay for your Seabag out of your first check now instead of working 'Service week' where you are assigned a job somewhere on the base? I did a week at the RTC pool sanitizing bleachers, helping pull people who freaked out when they were pushed in. Then I got to hang out and go swimming until the Instructors were ready to leave. Still I graduated with like $174. In the bank. Dress Blues were like $65 I think. Dungarees were 11 shirts $7.
It's possible you'll be sent to do stuff if you're being held before boot camp begins or after it ends, but in most peoples' experience including mine you just get off the bus in the middle of the night and start training for 10 weeks and leave.
They're available when they feel like offering them. If you get one, you get all of it when you graduate boot camp. For reenlistment bonuses, you get half upfront and then the second half is made in installments.
Is there a bonus for joining even though i’m just an immigrant? I am actually thinking of getting a clearance job if they got me naturalized as an american citizen in bootcamp, is that possible? Thank you!
You get an enlistment and educational bonus as he explained on the video, whether your native or immigrant. I believe if you’re going as undesignated you may qualify for jobs that are for citizens after one year.
I was with Commander Middle East Force, ‘85 to ‘86 as a Stinger Gunner assigned TAD to two Perry frigates and the rest of the time on the Great White Ghost of the Arabian Coast. Admin Support Unit Bahrain, I think the name changed, movie theater and a restaurant. Better fun in the Souk.
Hey, firstly, the U.S. for the informative video and taking your time to expound a few topics. I have a question , or 2, really: are they still doing sign on bonus for 25k? And I have no skills other than being eloquent and bookish, and trying to learn Japanese and Korean. Is there a field that would accommodate such useless energies and possibly cultivate them in the Navy? Thanks in advance!
The Navy could use you as a translator, and pay extra for that. As for enlistment bonuses those change constantly, you'd have to talk to a recruiter to se what's available.
@@HaedenBeck I heard the Navy is after him too, they said if he can walk on water he will make a great Seaman recruit! 🤣😭 . But seriously, thanks for the answer in reply. Much obliged. 35k is crazy, what are they trying to sign me up for Davy Jones locker like Jack Sparrow and Gibbs in Pirates of the Caribbean 2? I hope this is not a terrible presage and portent for what looks like the looming battle of China and Taiwan. What do you think ?
So I'm about to go in this year or beginning of next, I want to be a CTI, and a friend of mine told me don't sign anything until I get a list of my sign on bonuses and everything. How do I ask for that??
That's absolutely true, don't sign until everything you talked about with the recruiter and MEPS is on there. Once you sign, they own you. What they mean is don't sign the contract until your job, bonus, and rank is on there. Despite whatever the recruiter says, if it's not on the contract it isn't happening and if you say "but my recruiter said" to anyone they'll laugh at you. Just read every page you sign very carefully even if it's an awkward amount of time. Don't let them rush you. It's YOUR life and YOUR career, to them you're just a paper passing over their desk they'll never see again. Best of luck.
Coming in as E2 with a small bonus. Boot camp next week. I’m very worried about pay I thought I’d get what was told on the website at 70k a year but I’m told it’s like 25k with no rent to pay and stuff. Idk how to feel
Well it's definitely not $70,000 a year even in a tax free zone (no state or federal taxes) I was still getting like $36,000 as an E-4. But the base pay isn't the whole story, you get housing medical care and insurance food water etc. all for free. That was all well over half my pay as a civilian but in the military I just save 99% of my income.
@@HaedenBeck I pray this is the case 🙏🏼 I don’t want to be ungrateful but I didn’t think it would be like that. I def want to grow here and explore different options. If I don’t like CWT I think I’m going to try aviation Engineer
The enlistment bonuses change from time to time. The recruiter might want you to join at a certain time or pick a certain job. Just make sure it's on the contract before you sign.
It is insane that you have to pay for your stuff at boot camp and not just given to you billions of billions of dollars for support to other countries but they take the little guys money wow
@@biginer5547 Not really...as the pay dates may not have matched up. So in Headen case...he might be getting paid again in a few days, as it's 2x a month, or if they need to back pay, on stuff until he graduated. So it's been a few years, but in the past some went in a "E-3" but getting paid as an E-2 until they graduate ..then the time it takes to process it..can take time....but at the end...they still get paid. Same thing with bonuses...sometimes it's split up, and paid out as you finish things (numbers are made up-A MMN might be Boot Camp ($10K) , A school ($15K), C school ($15K), Sub ($10K). So a MMN will not get $50K right out of RTC. Also in the past I seen the full bonus getting paid out over time, or a "reduced bonus" up front.
A quarter million dollars has to be a typo. The 25k bonuses started right after I joined, I barely missed it, and probably ended again. You should ask a local recruiter what's available, but don't let money be the main thing. The job you pick and live with for 4+ years is the most important decision you'll make.
The main things are the rating you want, like YN or MA or whatever job you want...the enlistment bonus, make sure that's actually written on the contract, and what rate you'll start at like E-2 or E-3
Im glad i was able to get my ship date Dec 14th i lucked out. Im getting a 10K bonus as a standard bonus but apparently nobody in 2024 is getting that shit. Like right now its standard but anybody shipping in January is out of luck
Sounds good, that's a lot more than I got. Just make sure it says it on the contract. I wouldn't be surprised if bonuses are even bigger next year. They're giving large bonuses right now for retention of people they already have.
@@zayajames51 Woooah you can just call me Beck. If you joined as an E-3 you'll be paid as an E-3 from day 1, if you made E-3 in boot camp but joined as an E-2 you'll either be paid as an E-3 starting in a few months or from the day you signed up.
@@marjoriemaluca1396 The sign on bonuses do exist, and when you get one they should be on the contract. If it isn't on the contract, you're not getting it. And no you don't have to be debt free, many join with debts hoping to pay them off, but if you have massive debts it'll disqualify you from certain duties because they are afraid of sailors being bribed in exchange for sensitive information.
Ask a recruiter but you may have to ask several because many don't want to do the paperwork for a waiver. They will not let you in until all fines and probatonary time has been served. NEVER NEVER NEVER LIE because they will find out and you will have to pay them back.
Hey can you do a video about navy waiver. My nephews finished boot camp and graduated. But has help back because he need a waiver to be apply. But he can't go to A school. Don't know what means
Waivers are usually handled by the recruiter and MEPS and if you can't get waivers you can't join. The fact they found something after they graduated RTC complicates things because I don't think they can just drop them (after a long separation process) like someone who is just going through boot camp. They might be on hold for a long time. I got 2 friends who are being held, and it's been a long, long time.

That was all well over half my pay as a civilian but in the military I just save 99% of my income.
@@HaedenBeck I pray this is the case 🙏🏼 I don’t want to be ungrateful but I didn’t think it would be like that. I def want to grow here and explore different options. If I don’t like CWT I think I’m going to try aviation Engineer
25k to enlist? What do you have to do for that?
The enlistment bonuses change from time to time. The recruiter might want you to join at a certain time or pick a certain job. Just make sure it's on the contract before you sign.
What are other ways to go in as e2 or e3 if you didn’t go through rotc and you joining as an old adult?
See the video how to get promoted before during and after boot camp
It is insane that you have to pay for your stuff at boot camp and not just given to you billions of billions of dollars for support to other countries but they take the little guys money wow
Well yeah but the military also provides free healthcare, housing, food, etc, worth much much more than a few uniforms.
5000? After 3 months 24/7 bootcamp?
Yes.
@@HaedenBeck So if you don’t have any bonus you would only get somewhere around 1300 the whole bootcamp?
@@biginer5547 Something along those lines, yes.
@@biginer5547 Not really...as the pay dates may not have matched up. So in Headen case...he might be getting paid again in a few days, as it's 2x a month, or if they need to back pay, on stuff until he graduated. So it's been a few years, but in the past some went in a "E-3" but getting paid as an E-2 until they graduate ..then the time it takes to process it..can take time....but at the end...they still get paid. Same thing with bonuses...sometimes it's split up, and paid out as you finish things (numbers are made up-A MMN might be Boot Camp ($10K) , A school ($15K), C school ($15K), Sub ($10K). So a MMN will not get $50K right out of RTC. Also in the past I seen the full bonus getting paid out over time, or a "reduced bonus" up front.
Good video🎉I wanna know if navy still offer 250k for anyone who is qualified for enlishment？ Cause I just submitted all the necessary documents .
A quarter million dollars has to be a typo. The 25k bonuses started right after I joined, I barely missed it, and probably ended again. You should ask a local recruiter what's available, but don't let money be the main thing. The job you pick and live with for 4+ years is the most important decision you'll make.
Could you please give me a list of the stipulations I need to make _sure_ is on the contract?
The main things are the rating you want, like YN or MA or whatever job you want...the enlistment bonus, make sure that's actually written on the contract, and what rate you'll start at like E-2 or E-3
Im glad i was able to get my ship date Dec 14th i lucked out. Im getting a 10K bonus as a standard bonus but apparently nobody in 2024 is getting that shit. Like right now its standard but anybody shipping in January is out of luck
Sounds good, that's a lot more than I got. Just make sure it says it on the contract. I wouldn't be surprised if bonuses are even bigger next year. They're giving large bonuses right now for retention of people they already have.
Same, also shipping out on the 14th. getting 10k as standard and 4k for my college credits.
Hey question how do parents know the date of boot camp and how do they sign for it?
You get tickets and mail them home, at least when I was there.
Can I get My Signing Bonus bfore bootcamp? And Do
Traine receive salary while in the Bootcamp?
Yes you're paid in boot camp but you don't really get everything including the bonus until you graduate.
@@HaedenBeck thank you 😊
Can someone get BAH while living at the barracks ? When the spouse is overseas ?
yes
Raise the reserve, and active duty pay on both sides of fields nobody can survive of minimum wage right now, the ppl have spoken
Military definitely makes a lot more than minimum wage, at least twice it 😂
Hey question do i get paid E3 once i get to A school or after graduation bootcamp?
Are you joining as an E-3?
@@HaedenBeck hi sir I just graduated naval bootcamp two days ago as an E3 I'm currently in THU
@@HaedenBeck hey what is your email respectfully request to ask you a few questions man
@@zayajames51 Woooah you can just call me Beck. If you joined as an E-3 you'll be paid as an E-3 from day 1, if you made E-3 in boot camp but joined as an E-2 you'll either be paid as an E-3 starting in a few months or from the day you signed up.
Ok Beck I'm James but as an E3 am I suppose to be paid 1800£ or I should receive more in pay? Or does it depend on the year of service?
can you join the navy with bad credit ?
Bad credit might not be a problem but big debts could be, since someone might offer to trade money for government secrets and information.
Probably wont get a Secret or top secret clearance
I think they give you 50% of it first
For the reenlistment bonuses yes but my enlistment bonus came all at once
I'm a Retired Navy Chief, if you want to know anything, hit me up!
I have a few sir!
You got to be shitting me. I think I had like $174.
Yeesh! Nah I didn't really buy anything at the NEX and got a decent enlistment bonus.
The recruiter will not discuss that with me
Discuss what
Sign on bonus or if I have to be completely debt free to join
@@marjoriemaluca1396 The sign on bonuses do exist, and when you get one they should be on the contract. If it isn't on the contract, you're not getting it. And no you don't have to be debt free, many join with debts hoping to pay them off, but if you have massive debts it'll disqualify you from certain duties because they are afraid of sailors being bribed in exchange for sensitive information.
@HaedenBeck I only have small amounts for credit card debt and they're all in collection
Sane for the settlement for both GCU and CCU
I wish I knew that lmao
I'm joining for a G-Wagon can't wait!!! 😁😁😁
Best of luck!
lol.......are you an Officer?
@@commonsenseisntcommon1776 helllllllllll to the nah
Can I get into navy if I have unpaid fines
After court
@@mbkluhzay3882 You should resolve all legal issues before joining.
Ask a recruiter but you may have to ask several because many don't want to do the paperwork for a waiver. They will not let you in until all fines and probatonary time has been served. NEVER NEVER NEVER LIE because they will find out and you will have to pay them back.
Hey can you do a video about navy waiver. My nephews finished boot camp and graduated. But has help back because he need a waiver to be apply. But he can't go to A school. Don't know what means
Waivers are usually handled by the recruiter and MEPS and if you can't get waivers you can't join. The fact they found something after they graduated RTC complicates things because I don't think they can just drop them (after a long separation process) like someone who is just going through boot camp. They might be on hold for a long time. I got 2 friends who are being held, and it's been a long, long time.
Army pays Better
All the branches pay the same based on dod paygrades, but then there's additional pay on top. What does the army have that the navy doesn't?
@@HaedenBeck Probably bad housing and insects.
