Is 20 Years In The Military Worth It

29 years (and going) in the Air National Guard. Enlisted as an E1, currently an O5, full-time federal technician with 100% P&T VA disability. 2 kids in college (tuition paid for with Chapter 29 VA bennies and receiving $1488/monthly with Ch 35 VA bennies). Homestead tax exemption every year plus countless other benefits... As a kid from the Magnolia Projects raised by a single parent, I'd say it was WELL WORTH IT.. :-D

[@dcuthbertson5778]

Definitely not bad advice but also depends on if you're an officer vs Enlisted and whether you can leverage your experience. An officer will get paid more and have better outcomes when he or she leaves the military. If you go in and 18 and retire at 38 with multiple degrees, and a game plan then it's totally worth it to get that pension and start a second career

I'm 3 years out from retiring as an O-5 with 22 years of service and a solid financial portfolio. I can tell you that 20 years goes by very quick and I'm happy I stuck it out. After I retire, I can roll out of bed and play my trombone every morning and that's quite fine with me. I can also become a plumber, have my own business working on my own or hire others and lead them with the leadership toolkit I've received as an Officer. Ambition levels shouldn't be tied to a dollar amount, that's just my take. And, I don't know where there "stable" life is, maybe that's a Navy thing. I didn't think it was though.

[@terryevans1976]

I was a military dependent, I enlisted with the idea of doing 20. I worked in a highly skilled MOS, held security clearances, and made Sgt. in a little over three years. I decided to get out which was a very tough decision for me but I quintupled, yes quintupled, my military salary in less than two years. If there would have been a good reserve unit nearby I would have done that but sadly there was not. A lot depends on your skills and your motivation. I'm extremely proud of my time in the Corps but I do not regret my decision to EAS.

I disagree, I did 20 years and I get va and retirement not that bad of a living. You can get a part time job and be doing fine with it or without it. Like someone said earlier in the comments at 19, compared to 43, 45, 50 years of age is a lot different. Another thing to remember if you do 20 years in anyone’s military, when you get out you are not doing certain jobs and the level of bullish you are willing to put up with after 20 years of having someone telling you what to do is something you are not willing to deal with easily. Lastly, look after 20 years who is really willing to be stressed out with working? Myself, I just want to stay out of the way of people, live life to the fullest, travel, and have a good partner to share life with.

[@josephmallett2054]

To the people bashing on doing 20 years - My school in the military was taught by civilians that were majority ex military. We had a mix of retired(enlisted and officers) and people who did 4-6 years and got out. Every single person who did 20 years or more and retired had a certain vibe of true freedom and carelessness because they continued to work because they wanted to. They were noticeably happier and more free than people who worked there because they NEEDED a salary. They even said that it doesn’t matter if they got fired that day because they can live off their pension, which gives you a huge boost in confidence. I get that you can get out and make 10K a month, but let’s be realistic how many service members are going to actually get out and make that. Some people definitely do get out and make that, but a lot more get out and work somewhere that doesn’t pay much and end up working well past the years that they would have otherwise collected a pension from the military.

The work life balance is much better as well. You have to weigh your options and have a plan and understand saving and investing and the benefits are what’s worth it. VA loan, Disability, Post 911 VRE if you wanna couple it with a retirement then go officer and live a decent life. However understand the military will come first every time . And it’s a reason why divorce rate is very high. I would rather come home every night sleuth a higher paying job and money saved.

[@TheAceofspade97]

I am going to put a stoping point. 20 years is a long time with too many hours. For instance, it’s not uncommon to pull over a 100 hours a week, a good week is 60 hours. For me, there is a better way to achieve financial stability with fewer hours. The military can grant you a pay check with a stability but just remember, your limited on your time. If your those people that are entrepreneurs with ideas flowing that can start business or invested time in a hobby I strongly suggest not joining. The hours I am away from my job I can create a side job that can bring in other revenues. Jointing the military is not terrible but it limits your potential if your not willing to give in to someone younger leading a division with no experience. So it’s up to you if you want to make a 20 year commitment, the rewards are there if your willing to sacrifice your time and effort into the military and that’s with any other job.

I did 20 years Active and 7 years Nasty Guard, enlisted and officer. I have doubts about or nation’s role in international wars after the debacles in Afghanistan and Iraq. But I, personally, despite a so-so career, made out like a fat rat. I paid for college then invested enough money while Active Duty to actually retire at 48 instead of going into a government or corporate job. That was 10 years ago. I live off my pension while my investments grow. I harvest a little of that money tree to buy small luxuries and cool vacations. But even so it’s almost become a $2 million over the ten years since I PCS’d to Fort Living Room. And get this: I’m not actually super bright. If I was I’d have made LTC. If you’re a tiny bit smart, somewhat disciplined, and a little lucky the military will pay back what you put in. I think it’s a riskier career choice under the Biden regime.

It’s worth it if you’re young, but yeah if you’re like 30, no. I know a guy who joined at 17, used his youth to go from green to gold which means he made it to Officer (most civilians will never reach that.) he retired at 37, as an O-4 and draws $6,000 a month. He then went into a private school for 4 years on the Army’s dime (retirement) and became an RN at 42, entered the ICU at $65hr and over $100hr in overtime pay. Did that for 3 years making something like $300,000 a year at 45. I kid you not, the hospital then requested he enroll into their CRNA program which is 36 months, and he’s still getting paid his $6,000 from the military. At 48!!!!!! He started earning $250hr, yes an Hour… He’s making $46,000 a month, thanks to the military. Now, can anyone do this younger? Sure. But, to say the military wasn’t beneficial is a lie. Some people don’t have the luxury to live with mom and dad after 18. This man did plenty fine without them. Sidenote, company revenue is different than actual gross and net pay. I know someone who runs a $4 million dollar revenue business, and he only nets a true 200k after all expenses. Pick your poison, we all gotta die baby. Greed won’t lead you to a fulfilling life, because you’ll never have enough. Higher, and higher and higher, until it crashes.

[@Truthtella]

The problem with this statement is you are making $10,000 a month right now. Not counting medical, dental, and rent. Also if you have to pay for any education or certifications that all comes out your pocket. Military personnel get it for free while they are in. You are not considering the benefits that come with the 20 year vet and low key you kind of down played the pensions like they were minor. $10,000 dollars a month until you are 80 if they retire at 50 years works out to be $3.6M. That's not worth 30 years? I would ask you question. At 38-40 will you be able say over your investments, assets and savings will you be worth about $2M-$4M? That's about what a military pension is worth over the lifespan progressing through a military career at a reasonable rate of promotion whether officer or enlisted. Low End numbers. That's not counting any savings, TSP, VA disability checks, educational, medical benefits. Plus the advantage of the VA home or business loan. Also you did not consider the network that an ambitious veteran could have created during their 20 years. That also doesn't take into account for the training for technical MOS's or in the Navy Ratings that are very lucrative to vets coming out. Any military member in a cyber type job could be making around 120k-200k a year coming out not counting their pension that starts as soon as they retire. A savvy ambitious vet could have multiply certifications, a degree, a huge network, a pension (low end $2M), a TSP ($1M, investing 20%) all at the ripe age of 38-40. Just saying that's what most people are looking for these days. You can be ambitious as you want but 95% of all business fail. Not saying you will fail but these numbers are tangible and real. So I would say a 20 year savvy military vet is closer to being a multi-millionaire than 99% of Americans. The reason people don't see it is because they don't have a clear understanding of the military benefits.

"it depends on your level of ambition" wow what an immature statement.

[@MrYoonKim]

Hey Kelsey, I could've used different wording, but if this statement rubs you the wrong way. It's not so much what I'm saying, it's more so What you've been thinking and feeling that you haven't uncovered. Hope this helps 🙏🏻

[@kelseynakanelua3051]

@@MrYoonKim I think you have not uncovered what ambition means

[@MrYoonKim]

When you're on this path, it's common to be misunderstood. Higher in the ambition higher in misunderstanding from the masses. Kelsey, you do not understand, there's a reason why youre watching this video, and I say this with the most love and respect 🙏🏻 I'm sure you're an amazing person who can do good for the world. Go, create impact, and be misunderstood 💪🏻

@MrYoonKim your inability to see beyond your own thought process will limit you from achieving your potential with all respect you need to open your mind

This is one of the weirdest videos with some of the strangest commentary everyone's talking about 120000 a year like that's chump change or something are you flipping kidding me do you realize I would fight Brock Lesnar if I could collect $120,000 paycheck every year I'm not saying I'd win but I'm getting a ring with the dude for that kind of money especially if it was every single year after that s*** I'll go lay up in the hospital for a few weeks

If you can get there and willing to wade through the longer list of nonsense than you'd have to put up with as a civilian.

[@stephenpalfy8226]

@@golfery5119it depends on what you are doing in the military and the people around you. I had some great jobs in the USAF that set me up for my civilian career. I worked with and had fun with great people. I had many experiences that very few people have experienced or would even understand.

Hey man! Appreciate you dropping by. If you're watching this, just know you also have the opportunity to change your life. If you want to take the military path or not. It's never about if you had support from your parents or etc.

You can't put a price in protecting your country. It's priceless.

[@MrYoonKim]

Yes you can. It's called thr balance between being happy, starting a family, going on vacation and securing your future.

@@MrYoonKim the USA has 1 of the best military in the world. This gives the American people the luxury to have a family in a safe environment and for your life to be stable to make money for your vacation and future. If every American soldier thinks like you. The USA is like every 3rd world country. You will need to worry about surviving day by day. The military salary is 💩. How can you put a price on a soldier to sacrifice their life for your freedom. If you can put a price on it. Please send that check to our brothers and sisters in arms. I want to see you telling these parents that their son and daughter are worth only money. I want to see you telling these kids that losing their father and mother is only for money.

[@MrYoonKim]

That's the problem the military doesn't think like I do. Therefore we have a recruitment problem. We have the lowest retention rate. We have the lowest retention of top service members. The current super power model is not sustainable. There needs to be an overhaul of how we're structuring military service. Can't take 1950s thinking and approach in 2023. Recruitment bonus of 20k for soldiers and Set salary of service members is the definition of "putting a price". Budget is a price. The current military ecosystem will never be able to house high quality people. The problem with current military is that top chain think like YOU do. Thats why it will continue to sufferg

[@dapooramericanhomesteadfar7192]

You are correct. The USA military doesn't think like you. The USA military has billions of dollars. They don't need to be like you trying to make millions of dollars. The salary doesn't mean that their life is worth$1,500 a month. A salary is for them to survive. Nobody's life should be worth any kind of money. It's priceless.There's a reason why the military pays low. You are right. I might think like them. The military might have a low recruitment rate but the military is going for the best. Anybody like yourself just looking at the value of money is not reliable. If we are looking for people that are only looking at the money. How can we trust them with the most top secret things. If the military gives you a high pay for your loyalty then anybody that can offer you more can buy for your loyalty. You may think highly of yourself but I know there's plenty of brother and sister in arms that are smarter than a rocket scientist that can make more money but they choose to serve our country to protect what you have. There was a football player that made more money than you with a bright future but sacrificed all of it to go fight in the middle east and die to protect what you have. He was making more money than you.

Pension, so worth it if you're not in a mos where you're destroying your body

[@jasonlemon7362]

Most basic answer ever. If you are Mr Ambitious you can grow that business while in the military. Retire with a decent little pension as a buffer AND have full healthcare benefits for you and your family so you can not stress about getting care while you build your next business

Hey brother! So, i've built a 2.5m biz while active duty.

@@MrYoonKim That’s amazing! Congratulations on that. You are an anomaly though. Not something everyone can or should do. So I still believe that for 99.5% of the military population it IS worth staying in. For a person with a net worth of 2.5 million it definitely would not be worth it.
