Well, it was a long time ago (1964) when I was commissioned as a 2LT in the Army after completing ROTC. I was put in the Artillery branch and placed in air defense. My base pay was $ 222 and $48 for subsistence allowance per month. I was assigned to a HAWK missile battery in Germany. I was there for 3 years. My army life consisted mainly being a Battery Control Officer at the HAWK site. A BCO was responsible for running the site and having all the equipment ready to fire missiles within given times, sometimes within 5 minutes in order to be prapared for a possible Soviet air attack. Our radars could see into East Germany and we would monitor planes flying there. Sometimes we could see a Soviet plane approaching the border and then veer off. And, of course you were responsible for the crew that was operating the site. The LT was responsible for selecting targets and ordering missiles fired. We did a lot of that in simulations, 2 or 3 times a day, many times for evaluation teams that were constantly showing up to test us (and stress us out). That was basically all I did in Germany. We operated the site was 24 hours per day every day all year long in rain, mud, and snow and freezing cold. It was a stressful job. I remember seeing our maintenance warrant officer being carted off in a strait jacket one night. As a bachelor I usually took the duty for a married officer so he could be with his wife on holidays, like Christmas. So sometimes I stayed on the site for 3 days at a stretch. The site was primitive, mainly tents, but we had one metal quanset hut. I only got to take about 10 days leave during my 3 years there. Bachelor officers were required to live in the BOQ at the barracks. Single NCOs had to live in the barracks. Married officers and NCOs had to live in the army housing units. We LTs didn't have all those financial considerations back in those days. My life mainly revolved around being on the missile site and crashing into my bed at the BOQ after I got off the site.
He does live a luxurious life but he can afford it. I would’ve bought a $2k used Camry. For entertainment, you don’t always have to spend money for fun. Lastly, $300 on groceries seems great to cook. I can’t wait to spoil myself as an officer.
Not sure i would go that far to call it luxurious, but he is off to a good start.
This is awesome!
You're really living a life of luxury. No wonder I feel like everyone is rich and I'm not, it's because everyone is spending a large percentage of their income when I'm not.
Netflix and Hulu "prescriptions" lmao.
Thanks for the video, really informative. I’m a high school student hoping to either pursue a career as an aviation officer or go to flight school
Ok woman thanhk amen
This is a normal life. We need to pay them more
You are left with $500.00 & how secure is that?
It's just in general per month he puts in $500 savings. Though yea it does seem kinda low.

Two NCO's found this video.
🤓
don't they offer free food at the base?
Yes
1100 in taxes? Wtf? 2 much
How will he save 250,000 in 2 years for a down payment on house?
Great, that is what I am calculating now, and I got confused. If I understand his explanation well, only $500 goes his saving account per month that is $6000 a year. If you add up the total savings even in a period of three years it will be only $18,000 in a rough calculation. Please, let me know yours.
Regards
I think he meant $25k houses in savanna are cheap too.
I think he meant to say he is saving for a down payment on a $250k home, but I’m pretty sure he is going to use the VA loan in which he won’t need to make a down payment in most cases.
In the military you don't need a downpayment, va loan.
I really hope he meant $250k house, not $250k on a down payment for a house… that would be WILD
This guy isn't budgeting well enough imo...
I was thinking the same thing, but if you have such a stable job I suppose you could spoil yourself
I think it's because he always lived in NY it's probably because it's like that. Though as time goes by and you get promoted/time then the pay increase just goes up dramatically. Could be that probably.
why does he have such a expensive car?
Because he makes 63k a year
because he can
its not that expensive

It’s pointless for him to buy a house. In the military.

1st. Having a house adds to your net-worth
2nd. Officers don’t live on base
@@Freshbngwtr they still get BAH
@@Freshbngwtr Are officers not allowed to live on base?
@@jugoolick2006 no. Bases housing is for lower enlisted. Normally e1-e4, who barely make 2k a month.
He needs to converse with Dave Ramsey .... STAT!! Smh.
This is absolutely not a typical case in the Army. If you want typical, put a Sergeant in that seat with a wife and two kids; preferably one that is not a POG which this guy probably is.
Anthony Ruggiero he’s an armor officer,also,the prompt for this series is about being an army officer,not the army as a whole.
They couldn't cause then the world would see all the bruises on his wife and kids.
pog
What does mean.
@@megga0 POG- Person other than Grunt.
He's stationed in GA, and goes to CA on 96's. You think he's putting in his out of bounds chit?
@Billy Nguyen armor is a pog.. dummy
@@juanshaftpatel7488 Did you ever fix that hole in your tent? Grunt.
Same govt and prive same hut our country govt job is a big job they not get marriage who have not govt job 😂 and curruption
