You're very right about craving deployments. You wonder what it feels like if you got the chance to kill,like you almost want to. You also embrace that camaraderie. Oorah Cpl!

Yes you can . I use to wonder what makes them do it , but I learn more an more , an figured its the Will to fight , not to be afraid, willing to put it all on the line , it the Will bro E3 pfc right here bro go army 29th infantry division 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ep_detail]

Great content man, I can see this really answering some questions.Even as active duty you may not get deployed that's not to say there are not other opportunities, the military is filled with them. I just made a video on learning hand to hand in the military for example. One thing that was told to me which I will always remember was "make sure you use the military and don't let them use you!" Keep crushing it!

[@SheldonLeeFit]

Vactive fit exactly. I agree with you man - gotta make the most out of your opportunities and I see too many people in the military who fail to do that.

[@swiftey3973]

@@SheldonLeeFitin what way do you mean make the most of the opportunities?

[@coachaenriquez]

Absolutely great videos. Unlike other “Marine centric” content distributors, your videos are professional, well thought out, articulate and stay on point. Others are pointless and erratic. Bravo Corporal Lee!

[@thesweatleaf]

lucky bastards, I was active duty and never got deployed... talk about losing the lottery bad

As a reservist if you deploy all ACTIVE DUTY will hate you when they find out how much RESERVIST make on activation. Active Duty is seriously under paid. Good info you all are putting out there. YUT!

[@ringwraith1984]

My first deployment in 2003 as a reserve E3 I was making less than $2100 a month. I never got BAH either of my 2 deployments because I didn't have a written lease. My first deployment was almost immediately after SOI and I was still technically living with my parents and my lease ended right before my second deployment so I just listed a relative's address so I could maintain residency in the state for when I got back and went to school.

wow good info!

[@BtRct]

I’m looking into going into the reserves as an 0331 after being out 9 years. It shouldn’t be a problem however I got fat and nasty since getting out, I’m dropping weight to hopefully land a boat space come October 2020 for the new FY. I’m certainly not doing it for the benefits and pay. I already have a masters degree and a job that pays me almost $50 an hour. The potential to get activated and deploy to combat is something that I want to be a part of should our country need us again.

[@Xavcodee]

Awesome Video ! Clarified so many things !

[@SheldonLeeFit]

Mauricio Leon thanks man!

Being active duty you can run into none deployment units as your first enlistment.

[@sdfds8761]

Hey! I'm in undergrad right now and was thinking about joining the reserves but I want to go to grad school after. Do you know if I can join the Reserves as an Officer? I tried to look it up but couldn't find any current info on what it was like. I would be willing to take a year off between. Thanks!

[@SheldonLeeFit]

sdf ds yup, you can be a officer in the reserves. But obviously to be an officer you would need your undergrad degree first. Check out my other video regarding college and reserve life - I'll talk specifically about the officer route in a future video.

[@J.Y_Z33]

I have a question. When you receive the notification of you being deployed... would they let you know a week prior to your deployment or a month? Thanks! This would be helpful for me because if I'm taking classes it would give me the knowledge and time to get my shit together before I hit the deck.

[@SheldonLeeFit]

Animus Denied it varies from a week to a month to maybe even a couple months. I've heard situations where if they really need you, you can get activated in a matter of couple days (unlikely).

[@johnwayne5598]

Sheldon Lee I'm my unit we can deploy in 36 hours but we're a line unit so idk if that's standard for everyone or just us. Most of the SGTs and up have deployed and one in particular I know for sure deployed 5 days after being notified

[@ringwraith1984]

According to a Brigadier General who spoke to my unit during my last deployment ('07-'08), reservists are supposed to have written orders in hand 90 prior to their deployment so they have the official documentation and the time to get all their affairs in order before they leave. Most of my unit got our orders 2-4 weeks out. When the General heard that he quietly nodded, turned to his aid ( a Lt.) and said, "Look into that for me." The Lt. said, "Yes, sir!" and started furiously scribbling down notes.

[@BrokenLimit710]

Hey man thanks for your service. Just wanted to ask, do reservist get the benefit BAH or any type of benefit ? I didn’t realize you’re from around laurel lol I’m here in college park trying to get my 15 college credits to join since my military school only provided GEDs . Any advice on that ?

[@MrCooldino]

Leo Gomez nope. You can apply for tricare and its supper affordable. But as a MARINE reserve you dont get much. Rah

[@CMDR-Cody]

As far as active duty goes if you are in the infantry like I was then you will most certainly deploy at least every 2 years. That could be a combat deployment, a MEU, or a UDP. The typical structure is something like 9 months of a workup for deployment and then a 9-month deployment. UDPs are typically 6 months. Obviously, sometimes stuff changes, and also you have to take into account that you could always get sent to another unit. I got back from my first deployment and 3 months later got sent to another unit that was deploying. I never met a reservist outside of ITB. Anyway, I am watching this because I've been out for 6 years and am considering going back in as a reservist.

[@connerfleury7]

So if u dont volenteer and u get activated do u have a choice to not go over seas or do u have to go. Also when u volunteer are u volunteering to go over seas or volunteering to go over seas and not get paid. If that makes any kind of sense.

[@unsubscribedrecurringgilli6994]

2012? Fuck man... making me feel old

[@Musicsparkle17]

What if you’re in a different field other than infantry? Is that guaranteed you won’t be deployed for a combat mission at all? Can they ever move you to infantry or moving you to combat? And if you pick a general field, would it be likely youd end up in infantry? How does deployment work? Cause I’m only seeing it as a combat thing. As a female wanting to be marine, is there any limitations for me?

[@danielval3359]

By nature, the military is the military and there is always a chance to be deployed to a combat ZONE. That being said, as a Marine, you are a rifleman first which means, you could have an MOS like firefighter 7051 in a combat area but may not go outside the wire, unless you volunteer of course

[@Biden_blows]

dude if you wanted to get deployed you should have done active duty. but I still give you great respect. thanks for your service

[@SheldonLeeFit]

Brandon Adams the only reason I didn't go active is to pursue school if I didn't deploy. I didn't want to do the active duty life if I didn't get to deploy if that makes sense. Thanks bro! 🙏🏼

[@Biden_blows]

Sheldon Lee I'm also going to be a future marine and your vids help give me a better understanding about the corps. keep posting man pls

[@christopherperillo8037]

Hey Sheldon! I have been considering the Marine Corps reserves and I just have a quick question that would be great if you answered. If you already made a video answering this question you could also just direct me to that. Thanks! Do you ever get the opportunity to sail to different countries or spend anytime traveling to different places with the reserves? Also if I did volunteer for a deployment, what are the chances that my request in granted? Thanks again.

[@stacysmith5926]

I don’t know if this will be seen, but can my son do 2 years of reserves out of high school and then go active duty. He thinks that going in after reserves he won’t be able to do combat?

[@peterdelapena2880]

It’s possible, but incredibly difficult to do. There’s a lengthy process to switch a reservist over to active duty, and can take anywhere from 6 months to a full year. It all depends on “the needs of the Corps.” They may flat out say no, and he has to finish out his reserve contract. AFTER he finishes his reserve contract he can more easily reenlist over to active, so long as he has been a solid Marine in the time he’s served. If he wants to go active he should go active straight away. If you’re looking for him to take college classes after high school, I’m assuming community college based on you asking about 2 years, he can take classes while an active duty service member, fully paid for by the government. I personally know a few Marines who are getting their bachelors degrees soon, who have been taking classes while active duty. Hope this helps

[@solidsnack197]

USMCR here, how long are the deployments?

[@john3148]

What's good man, have you made a video that talks about grooming standards and the likes? I have some reservist buddies and they have full beards.. Wasn't sure how that worked.

[@ImTheBatchMan]

John You don't have to be in regs unless you are drilling or doing active duty. The other 28 days of the month, you get to do whatever you want with your life.

[@kwt2000trucker]

The only things you must keep in check is, your body weight, your physical fitness, a clean criminal backround, no drug usage, and a good health.

[@swiftey3973]

People join the reserves to go to college, or do other things in their civilian life, but as for me I want to be a reserve soldier, and go to college while serving as a reserve soldier. So can you explain how if you are a reserve soldier going to college how can you do it school while being deployed, or can’t you? Thanks

[@myers5159]

Schools have policies for that. Contact your college for answers for that

[@capitcha]

did you ever find out because i want to do that too

[@angelroman8797]

Sounds just like what the SEABEES do in the NAVY.

[@davidrangel4776]

Quick question how long would you recomend to enlist active duty for a marine

[@ImTheBatchMan]

David Rangel Speak with a recruiter. Depending on your job you will either sign for 4 or 5 years. No other contracts exist. If you're a reservist, your will most likely do 6 years.

[@baesoungyoontv7004]

I am a philippine navy reservist but we have no wages to receive in our unit despite our active duty training..and we didnt deployed in any mission even we are young in reservist.. even if you need to be transfer in regular force has many requirements to be work.. you need to undergo on the basic training again and age limit is only 30..

[@connerfleury7]

When u listed some of the things they base volunteer deployments on. One was extra military training. How do u go about getting something like that. Is it required? As in something eventually everyone does as in annual training. Or is it one of those on ur free time off military time u sign up for a class that they offer to further and better yourself in training and or job.

I want to join but, it’s not that I’m scared of deploying but at the same time I am, I don’t want to be some place way across the globe because my mother needs me, she is anemic and is in bad shape health wise mentally and physically and needs me to be with her. That’s why I was thinking reserves but at the same time I’ll be gone 😪what do I do!!!

[@SheldonLeeFit]

Xavier Escalante actually was thinking about making a video on this. I basically design my weightlifting sessions around strength and power movements, and incorporate high intensity cardio-based training just a few times a week. Thanks for the idea man!

[@blusky1107]

I'm a future Marine reservist. I can't find out more info on getting paid that amount for a deployment..

[@SheldonLeeFit]

Grunt look up deployment calculators online that include BAS, BAH, and incentive pays. Like I mentioned in the video, BAH will vary depending on where you live.

[@vanillacakez2586]

I'm scared of dying young

[@kwt2000trucker]

Whenever is the moment, it will happen, even inside your own house, so dont worry about dying, just make sure to at least have a will and the funeral expenses already paid, because the surviving family members are the ones who have to deal with too many problems when unprepared with those 2 important things

[@logand.56]

Im not a Marine, but currently looking into being a reservist. My fiances brothers are Marines, back home after 5 years infantry. One of them deployed three times. They say reservists that get deployed are "more expensive" to the government. They get paid more because they are "being pulled from their home to be deployed". They said the reserves are supposed to be compensated for the civlian money they arent making while deployed. Whether its true or not, im not sure. But this was from the mouths of active duty Marines
