How do people retire from the military poor?

[wickedsm]

Didnt read all 12 pages but i recently joined...i was in the same boat about trying to get waivers etc

If the police never finger printed you, or you were a juvenile when it happend DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT. And in some cases, even if they finger printed you still dont tell them.

You'll be fine as long as your background check comes back clean. I thought i had 3 "charges" and turns out they basically didnt count I was playing myself

The whole point behind this prior charges thing is they dont want any Chief Keef ass nikkas in serving with them but lets be real no ones perfect..Like i said man just dont tell them anything unless there is documentation of what you did! ie felony etc

Ha. Story my h told me a couple weeks ago.
At some point during basic they gonna hit you with the "is there anything you need to tell us? Confess now and it will be no problem "
And boom, get sent the fukk home.

If you didn't tell, don t tell. If the shyt pops up somewhere they're gonna separate you anyway. No need to tell on yourself.

are yall nikkas trolling me? i can't join because a fukking citation a fukking misdemeanor that was ruled NOLLE PROSEQUI?? fukk kinda shyt is that. when i went to a recruiter like last year she said they have waivers for the joint. and i took that practice asvab thing and got a 70 and i didn't even study. i doubt out of all the military personnel there isn't a single new person with a citation.

Nolle Pros is different than expunged, you may have a shot bruh. Not promising anything though, keep in mind that I stopped recruiting in 2011.

You're right about being fingerprinted. If you didn't get fingerprinted, than you should be good. That background check will get everything you've actually been booked for though. I had a high school senior that told me he had no law, and my local checks didn't return shyt outside a speeding ticket or two. On the FBI check from the MEPS he was a match for a burglary. Turns out he was booked as damn 8 year old for burglary . His methed out momma took him on a burglary with her and they booked both of them. Lucky for him our Battalion Commander saw that the kid had been in the custody of his pops ever since, and saw how stupid the "burglary" was. He fought for him and kept him in.

So, we can basically say.
these guys drink a fifty bills a day for every day basically for all those years.

If they make on average 1500, a month as a basic.

said he was the only brother in class... all the white boys was on some "fukk YEA"... he was like nah "fukk THIS"

In my schoolhouse in AZ, I was one of 10 black guys (teachers, admin, and cadre included) out of a class of 240

Its... an experience to say the least. My 1SG was black and there was this black colonel who was a proud AKA

I only dealt with blatant racist shyt one time, but I was ALWAYS ready to entertain a fight back then maybe some of the other guys had it worse than me. It was some shyt though. You really are around some people who've NEVER met a black person before. They always have the same look of amazement and confusion.

Majority....when im playing basketball with former military guys the stories I hear from either they married a woman who only wanted them for security and nothing more or they found some new dikk while they was gone for a year...

Couple dudes lost their wives in like 3 months after marriage cause they went back to their first love who they really wanted and many cases these cheating hoes got everything..

Plus u have a lot of guys coming home with missing limbs and mental health issues and some women bounce

Guys either on the streets or living with parents or other family members

I use to watch you tube video on random ish like that. Some of these miliatry wives be telling stories about the how other women be hoeing made hard having 3 kids with 3 different dudes when their man is on tour. But they were all white so whatever.

Most took jobs for the big bonuses back in the 2000s.

I know i was going to take a generator tech job because it had a 30k bonus. Luckily my uncle was a first sergeant and asked me "did i really want that job or just the bonus"? So i took a logistics job and it was the best decision i could have ever made. Made my transition to the civilian world easy to.

You 91J?

 

[Behind-the-wheel]

I still think that its impossible to do 20 years and NOT come out with some mental issues.

Tons of guys refuse to get themselves checked. I know a dude who got his vehicle flipped and had a bomb go off right next to him. Said he never even went to sick call. Was proud of it.

Then you got the MASSIVE sleep issues that come with just being a part of the military... everyone's got it. Just being on-call constantly, forcing yourself to enjoy the hell out of all the free time you get because fukk sleep. It shorts your brain.

Damn real.
Just contracting, you NEVER touch your bed.
It's the couch, or the floor, or your hammock or...something.
But hardly ever the bed.
Hell, I remember at one point when I was single...my bed had a layer of dust on it cause I was never around enough to sleep in it.

You 91J?

Was a 88N (Transportation Management Coordinator) and can word my resume really good so employers eat it up. I however work in a supply related role now (similar task to what a 92 series supply job would do in the army).

I'm in the Navy and been in for almost 6 years.

A lot of people in the military bank on that steady paycheck and with this credit card happy environment they try to stunt. Rent, expensive car, stunting and going out every weekend will definitely put a hurting in your pocket if you don't have any financial management skills. Which a lot of people don't.




I'm still sitting on deployment money from 2013 and my car is paid off

What's the money like in the navy

 

[Solano707]

A lot of folks retire with debt... Like cars and credit cards. Don't do that. You want your last 4 or 5 years working Off all debt.

Like one breh said that's not a retirement. The retirement comes if you put I think at least 20 years. Gotta make a career out of that shyt like a regular gig. Those cats are or should be. Dudes that do the regular stint, then get discharged don't feast like that unless they stacked their bread while they were in. Yeah, get the GI Bill, VA loans on cribs, and other perks, but I don't think they get a pension like that, at least not until they reach a certain age I think. My pops did four years in the late 60s - early 70s and he got his pension about ten years ago. It Wasn't shyt, about $800 a month. He just socks that shyt away until he starts drawing SS and his full pension from his civilian job. Hope the old man makes there

I clearly said in my post the ones who do 20 years My bad, didn't see that. I guess bad money management. That and I believe the pension is based on rank too. If you didn't make officer in 20 years.

4 years later, how is your dad doing?

18 years old in 1970 makes him 68. He should be drawing everything by now.
