Hi Is promoting in this job faster?

I retired from the Navy reserve after 26 years and I remember when I got my letter. I used to keep a copy on me and pull it out from time to time to remind my boss to not make me mad😂. So I started receiving my retired pay and Tricare a couple of years ago. I never thought I would live to see it or something would change. IT IS REAL FOLKS, THE BENEFITS ARE NOT A MYTH! STICK WITH IT!

Thank you for the shout out!!

Look DEI was not good for any organization I hope best of luck.

No offense man, but I'm glad you lost your job. Not because you don't deserve a job or I hate you. None of that, you're intelligent and I hope you find a real job. But DEI? yeah.. sorry. That needs to be done away with.

You sound like a very educated man, DEI was not good a good thing for this country, I wish you good luck in finding another job soon.

You're a smart and talented man. Good luck towards a prompt recovery.

That gear reminds me of Minot!

DEI needs to be removed anyway. Best of luck

Hi Hugo. As another comment, thought you were in 'finance something'. Fortunately, your resume covers other fields. Best of luck.

I respect you and your channel, however I can’t say I’m sorry to see DEI go.

DEI "Didn't Earn It" has led to women and minorities often having it easier than caucasian males because of historical grievances or injustices. For example, its much easier for an African American woman to get an OTS slot with a lower gpa than a caucasian man and promotions are clearly race based at times. You got a great channel here Hugo and hopefully you can get that early retirement. I feel u deserve it having been laid off multiple times. The woke policies of the last administration have to be reversed as race and gender quotas are driving people nuts. Your channel has done a ton of good and is an inspiration to many!

Never too late to join the skilled trades, I think you'd make a good plumber.

Take the L

My experience, unfortunately, with "DEI" in the military has been that 1. It has been poorly implemented into every briefing, class, etc. even when not necessary to the subject. 2. Has affected retainability, many people don't like how they feel like it is being shoved down their throats and not reenlisting as a result among other things. (luckily in mechanical career fields its not too bad) and 3. That it done more harm than good and creates victim mentalities and awards certain people things they otherwise shouldn't get. The military has always been "the great equalizer" historically, and i don't really view these policies as necessary. It's too bad you lost your job, and I believe you were surely one of the best people in your position. I had an experience in a certain briefing where I was told directly by the instructor that I couldn't legitimately hold the view i did about the subject due to my race and gender. That, to me, is the opposite of what DEI was created for, but seems to be the result.

Keep your head up sir! I am in the Air Force Reserves and I work for TSA(my first yr for both) we are going through similar changes in the field but I am staying positive and not putting all my eggs in one basket.

Thanks to "DEI" initiatives, you will likely have a problem getting a new job simply because of your race, gender, and age. It doesn't matter how good you are in your field, you will almost certainly experience discrimination because of the last four years of DEI. Think about that and let it sink in.

I thought you were in financial education?

Well one positive thing is only a new chapter begins. Glad you had other back up plans! I know a lot of people that don’t. Best wishes on your next journey!

Nothing wrong , let's make it happen. 37 going for army.

So. My son will be using my post 9-11 gi bill shortly (he graduates in a few months). He will be living with me for a few years while using the GI bill. My BAH is paying for our housing. Will he still be able to receive his housing allowance and save it? Does he have to live on his own to receive it?

Does, or does not, Pituffik have a local radio station (97.1 FM)? Just curious.

Polarbears???

Interesting time to visit Greenland with it being in the news!

What happens if an adult child was given the GI bill benefits, but finds out the monthly stipend was not being given to her and was going into an account she doesn’t have access to? Outside of the GI Bill covering school costs, no other financial assistance from parent was given for any other fees/expenses/ necessities.

Context please 🤷

Another great video!!

Thank you very much for this vid. I'm 38 and can't wait to join...

you said you got 4 years left, you mean.. you're teaching in the reserves after you did active? There's no reason to work anymore after I reach the 20 years of service right? there's enough finances for 1 man at the end of the tunnel for military retirement funds and if I save my military money.. right? My dream is to live it easy until I die, I know so many ppl who work with me in my minimum wage job's that are in there late 50's and 60's and some have back issues. That's such a unfortunate and intimidating future.. I'm trying to avoid that completely if possible like.. last time I commented, my weight was 30 pounds more.. I got 30 more to go, and I'm getting better at the math studies I've lost in highschool 6 years ago.

What is your AFSC?

Thanks for sharing. About how long is each session?

To Be A Father, Husband, I think So Much About My Wife and My Sons ,I forgot about me most of the time... Fortunately,I'm come back to Photography and enjoying to rebuilding my Professional Photography Career ! I will be Honor to make a Beautiful Portrait of your family one day ! See You in Colorado !

Happy Thanksgiving To You & Your Family ! Salute to You ,My USAF Mentor and Friend !

What keeps me up at night: Family, finances, and the unknown. Family: be there for them. Finances: be responsible. The unknown: prepare. Beautiful Ford btw, sir.

Hey brother I can relate 110% a lot of people view me as high speed and intense , serious. Which is true to a good extent however Sam time people’s judgement are something I cannot control, I’m in my late 20s joined bit late. It’s difficult to try to relate to a 18 -21 year old who’s priority are to do dumb shit. I cant relate. Priorities are different + family. Like you said a balance. Over the years I’ve learned to incorporate that. I also do plan doing the full 20 as well.

Can you be in the army and apply for airforce OTS ?

I started taking magnesium, vit D3 and melatonin every night. Also listen to bedtime stories for adults. It stopped my brain from racing (not worried). Bought a different bed too, less pain. Have some nights of insomnia, but not as many.

Hello! I have a question about AGR? transitioning from active duty to active guard reserve...would I be able to be moved to the base back home (California)? do we qualify for base housing as AGR still? Thank you...that is what has been keeping me up at night! lol

Shoe making elves

Great question to think about for sure. I have a couple answers for that question and am working to resolve those problems. Awesome video, greetings.

Finances, a successful future because I have worked dead end jobs. I wanna be able to look back and be proud of myself.

Sir, respectfully… please post more often I really enjoy your videos. I always get some life advice from them 👍

Im really struggling to decide what branch I can and want to join, especially being 34 right now, is it really hard, is it hard to join the air force

I’ve been following you since I joined the Air Force back in 2015, now I’m apart of local 1 IUEC, doing well. I’ve been tracking your advice. Sir, you’re approachable to civilians and military change your channel name to “Your life advice.” Views will go up. Subscriptions/likes will as well. You deserve it. All your videos have always been awesomely motivational. Thanks for the advice as always!

1995,,, i did not dare get a dessert from that tower. That tower was DANGER!!!!

I think it is time to own that you ARE handy! You've built that shed and now a car port. You've earned being a handy man now

Having a father figure in your life doesn't always mean that you know how to do "manly" things like knowing how to build a shed (example). I think all fathers have something they bring to the table and it is all different. You are my father and you showed me finances - I have friends who never learned what you taught me. I guess you could say, in a way, that is is "manly" but I also believe that building things, managing finances, or cooking (etc) has no gender role. It just depends on who does what. Sean grew up with his father and isn't handy. I think where we come from, who you were raised by, what you were exposed to, shapes who you are as a person. We are all "missing" something but isn't everyone? We all have experiences that we share and don't share but that is where we can learn from one another. It doesn't make you less "manly" or "womanly" when you don't know something that you would think falls into a stereotypical gender role.

Man, your life seems so similar to mine, I want to be a teacher or some type of sports manager. I have 13.5 years in AD Af, I got denied my reenlistment, but I am trying to go to the DRD board and get my reentry code changed so I can go into the reserves, then do a DD 368 and get released back into active duty. if i do a DD368 i hope to get regain back at the base i would be serving in, other than getting orders and having to move

Good talk. I got the "double whammy" on this subject when i dated a GF that i now believe has borderline dissorder, if you look up the dissorder, its complex but said simply they lack "their self", aka they are a "black hole". So, they slowly but surely suck their partners identity and emotional energy (like vampires), and after drained, they will leave you as a hollow version of your self (you will lose your self identity). 😬 But then again, i can see from your talk, your not dealing with the extreme i'm talking about.
