Would you join the military at 25?

[SPACE IS FAKE]

i joined when i was 22. In boot camp, there were plenty of 30 and 40 year olds attempting to change their life.

I joined when I was 20. I'm out now with my car paid off, a decent job that I learned in the military, no debt, an A1 credit score, travelled the world, fukked a lot of hoes (jk, but if you get stationed overseas you can add this to your bio lol), free school, VA loan, free health insurance for life, I'm about to hustle the gov't out of a disability check...for life, and also a lot of intangible benefits lol.

I would say joining at an older age could have been better. A lot of the things that you have to adjust to are just listening to people. With age comes that maturity and most of the older people were mostly pretty chill and just did what needed to be done. I think it's a good gig. I was AF. If you go do IT. HANDS DOWN. I know people that got out of the military, came back to work the next day on some call me Tyrone now shyt , and are puling in 6 figures. No joke. Use the military for all you can because they'll for sure use you. If you have some more questions ask me. I'm all for people going to the military, even if you don't stay in. It allowed me to build an excellent foundation for myself, and I never saw a war zone.

I never planned on staying for more than one enlistment so I can't speak on the retirement and making rank and what not. I think your age is perfect for going. I'm at the point now where people around me are starting to have kids, get married, or make great strides in their careers. I am not able to do that because I'm still in school and kind of figuring out things. I guess I'm just not on the timeline I wanted to be in my head...

You serious I thought they only cover when your in but once you leave thats it

Do AF. Get TA and Post 9/11. Try to get Korea or Honduras. Then pick a base you want (go to Belgium or Aviano). Enjoy life, learn life, and become a cultured person.

Well you get it for life if you have a certain percentage disability or were deployed. I have none of the above. I went to the VA and there was this old black man there asking me all the qualification questions. He said well...don't worry I got you.

Fast forward to my first appointment. I'm talking to the doctor and she's like, it says here you're a Vietnam vet, . That can't be right.

I was just like .

So yup...lol

Do you even know what you're talking about

No lol.

 

[SheWantTheD]

Bro do you even know what you're talking about?


The military, at the end of the day is just like every other job. And if you play your cards right you can use them for free job training and get out in 4 years or set yourself up for early retirement

So how do certain guys get screwed and get sent into actual battle? I don't know shyt breh.

They don't just send you..you have to apply to do combat
Allot of military jobs don't even see combat

Not gonna lie I would do combat in a danger zone if they offered one of those $10,000 signing bonuses

 

[CoochieMane]

I wouldn't do it at any age.
