Great work keep it up
This was very interesting. So much has changed over the years. I'm 74 yrs old and was an Aviation Electrician E4 back during Vietnam. I entered Boot Camp 60 days after turning 18, coincidentally 30 days later while in Boot Camp I got my draft notice. My mind set was completely different, i wanted no part of Vietnam, but also had no military ambitions. I just wanted to satisfy my requirements and go home.
Fortunately fate served me well. I got "A" school right out of Boot Camp. Possibly for 2 reasons. I took Basic Electricity in High School and did well. Immediately after graduating I joined the Merchant Marine for the summer and sailed the Great Lakes as a deckhand and deck watch. I never stepped foot on a Coast Guard boat during my 4 yrs. After A school I went to Guam for 18 months then Elizabeth City Overhaul Center for 2 years. I flew multiple times a week as Loadmaster on C-123b cargo planes on Guam and occasionally on C-130s, H52s, H3s, and HU16s at E-City. Best four years of my life!!! I can't emphasize that enough. By all means get rated ASAP. I was the only AE that got A school out of boot camp back then. Never met another Aviation Rank that didn't extend his enlistment to get Aviation A school
Thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for your service!
Very good video.
Thank you 🌟
Thanks guys!! I'm 25 and know for sure I couldnt take the nonrate life lol
Gotta pay all my debts and then I'll be able to join
I had to do the same thing: Pay off everything as soon as you can and get the ball rolling. Good luck! 🍀
They're requiring you to pay all your debts now?
@@imalladoesitall yep they said they have to be off collections and when I called the debt people they said I have to pay in full for them to remove from collections:p
@@niar.johnson8202 omg 😅well I'm sure you'll get it all paid off & squared away. Best of wishes & thank you for sharing ! ❤
I’m thinking of joining. What’s the process of joining as a rate? Can I join as a rate in any job or only the ones in high demand?
I’m thinking of joining
🙌
I thought every job had some kind of waitlist and everyone pretty much did some non rate tome
There have been many changes these days. There is a massive demand for specific ratings/jobs, and you can skip the non-rate journey to fill those gigs.
Let me know if you have any other questions:)
Hey! I’m 32 married with kids going Boot to A in January. As of right now going the OS rate so I know I’ll get that bonus and BAH right off the bat. If you know any OS’s would you consider an interview with one?? Another one lol
OS is an excellent choice if you want to finish school and do less physical work. However, some people get bored with the work and prefer to go underway on a cutter to get more job satisfaction. OS is not bad if you have an open mind and want to start a side hustle and enjoy time at home. I'll see if I can get you a good OS interview.
@@Henry_Fargo Thanks for the response! Looking forward to a long career hopefully. Based on all the research I did OS’s have one of the best life/work balance and a good schedule so I could enjoy time with my wife and three young daughters. Can any OS’s attest to that?
I clicked simply because i said wtf is a rated officer . Going straight to a school wasnt a option went i went in 2010 besides a few reservist . Lets be real being a non rate sucks but in a way makes you a better leader after a -school. To clear it up . As enlisted when you go to e-4 you become a NON-commissioned officer . I went boatswains mate. Good luck in your careers guys . Semper Paradise
100 percent correct. I fixed the video title, and thank you so much for all the feedback.
Guys I’m 37 I have wife no kids , my ASVAB was 39 I would love mst but I don’t want to wait to retake ASVAB or going as a no rate , what you guys think about CS
Right now, the CS Rating has a nice bonus! If you enjoy cooking and don't mind being underway, it isn't a bad gig.
You will start getting BHA right away since you are married, which will take care of your rent.
The bonus will give you a head start if you want to start a business or pay off debt.
I would talk to your wife about it and make sure to have the bonus paperwork signed by your recruiter! (ask for a copy)
Lastly, the bonus might not always be there. I recommend you sign quickly if you are chasing the bonus, but always do your research. There is a Quick shipment bonus, too! So ask about that; it's about 15 grand now.
