Nah Foreal I’m working at Amazon right now and I’m considering joining the Army for the benefits. Yeah Amazon pays good. But I still have to pay rent,feed the family,utilities, pay for daycare & that’s pretty much paying rent twice, college, care note, etc. but the army has a 50k sign on bonus right now, we would get free rent & utilities, free groceries, and free college, so the money is just being spent on other bills and whatever we would want.
when you are done your shift at the end of the day amazon doesn't own you. you become property of the us army, so while the benefits are good, for anyone reading this consider how much your freedom is actually worth.... daycare is not free and neither is food you still have to pay for these thing in the military. also keep in mind that my rank was an E3 if this is your choice let it be for a reason other than money ...
As a USMC boot in 1961......three months of boot camp.....we were paid once at the end of boot camp forty bucks a month.....minus whatever they deducted; dont remember.
Wait a damn minute so if I don’t pass I get more money 🤣🤣🤣 failing ain’t that bad I’m a little worried cause I’m out of shape but I’m too worried now 😅
Trust me you wont care how much they are paying you to stay ... don't worry just do some push ups and start running at least a mile . All the best to you on your new journey.

Hello new to your channel definitely subscribing. Question if my husband is my dependent do i need to bring my apartment lease do receive bah ? Or will a marriage certificate work fine for bah? For basic training
I would bring both, but they didn't ask me for my lease; my marriage certificate was already uploaded. BUT! I would bring it just in case Finance is not satisfied with how Meps uploaded it. Hope this helps
My wife is in my home country ghana because I already have my green card and I'm presently in US I'm planning to apply for the US army would I get bah even tho shes not present here in US
Hi I’m a bit late but I’m worried since I want to save 7k but I’ll be coming in as a E1 or 2 if my credits check out. So will I really be making 1k a month?
For someone going in married with 2 kids how does that work we have navy federal can i use my bank for direct deposit? Also how soon do you know were youll be station? And do we do a POA before leaving for basic and does my family start getting medical what documents are needed at reception?
Also if I may ask the Bah is it only payed if u have kids or ure married while in basic training also what if who you're married to is not present in the USA
If you have legal custody of the children you are entitled to BAH. I'm unsure about the marriage part, but I would assume if you have a marriage license you should be ok .
Question: My spouse has been in the military for 3 years and has been getting BAH from me for about 2 years I’m planning on signing up will I receive Bah during boot camp ? I have zero dependents but we are married
idk the difference between military/army, but i looked it up and it said 2 years for about 25,000. that’s the average amount for one year of working, so is that right??
That’s good, but I wanna know what percentage of taxes are taken out if you are stationed in other states like Florida, Hawaii, Arizona, New York, etc etc
You can get a promotion before basic training. College credits Degrees Passing a pt test Referrals Just to name a few things . You would have to look online , I was never an e1 so I’m not sure of the exact numbers. Best wishes to you on your journey 🥰
I'm trying to understanding in do research because i haven't got to talk to him on for a lil second... can you write a letter what all do you need for graduation do the look up your address to see if it matches where you stay what if you have 2 address one for mailing one for living for temporary? Do the really look deep into that?
I'm not sure you will need to don your research. But I do know being in the service does not automatically qualify you for this loan. There are other qualifications you must meet.
that's a question you have to consider ! if you are single and don't have children I would say go for it if its something that you want... But you belong to the army... you don't belong to amazon get me ?
Very proud of you ma'am for answering the call. I did just over 50yrs ago. Many blessings. ALL THE WAY SIR!!!
Thanks for being super friendly, insightful and helpful
wow, thanks for the info! i will also be starting bct as an e3 too!
No problem, all the best to you on your journey 🥰
me too because im doing JROTC all high school
Your lucky I only start as a E2
Same! I’m taking a pay cut
Hold on. If you got the AA you're doing BCT as an E3 not automatically hitting E3 after you graduate into AIT?

I am a week away from swearing into National Guard. Does the national guard pay/make less?
Did you get a signing bonus?

Do you get paid 2.5 months or BAH during BCT or just 2 months?
God bless u
My wife is in my home country ghana because I already have my green card and I'm presently in US I'm planning to apply for the US army would I get bah even tho shes not present here in US
I'm not sure, your recruiter will be able to answer that question for you. All the best to you on your new journey.
Hi I’m a bit late but I’m worried since I want to save 7k but I’ll be coming in as a E1 or 2 if my credits check out. So will I really be making 1k a month?
I'm not sure, it would depend if you have dependants and so on...
I’m joining the Army Reserve but while in basic training I’m consider active duty ??
yes!
So the base pay on the chart is what you get paid twice a month, or is that amount split into two payments that you get paid the two times per month?
Split into 2 payments 1st and 15th
What if my ait is near my parents so we stay with them and I don’t have a lease but where married how would I get bah
if you have a marriage license you can get BAH. you still have to stay on post.
How does it work for a married person with 2 kids as dependan? Do you get any money aside of what they pay you while you are in basic training?
It’s all sent to you as your monthly pay
They will do the Calculations based on your rank .
For someone going in married with 2 kids how does that work we have navy federal can i use my bank for direct deposit? Also how soon do you know were youll be station? And do we do a POA before leaving for basic and does my family start getting medical what documents are needed at reception?
@@jasminejasmine2036ask your recruiter those questions, they should be able to help you out.
So when I leave to basic training my wife would still get bah if her and my daughter live with her mother ?
yes!
As long as your married yes
Also if I may ask the Bah is it only payed if u have kids or ure married while in basic training also what if who you're married to is not present in the USA
If you have legal custody of the children you are entitled to BAH. I'm unsure about the marriage part, but I would assume if you have a marriage license you should be ok .
Your children have to be in your custody. And as long as you have marriage license then you are good
Question: My spouse has been in the military for 3 years and has been getting BAH from me for about 2 years
I’m planning on signing up will I receive Bah during boot camp ? I have zero dependents but we are married
This would be a question for your recruiter, as I Dont have a spouse in the military so I don't know
One of you will recieve full bah (whoever is higher rank) and the other spouse will receive half bah as well
idk the difference between military/army, but i looked it up and it said 2 years for about 25,000. that’s the average amount for one year of working, so is that right??
the only figures that i know are given in the video
That is not correct
Also the army is just one of 5 branches in the military sir
Lol so i can get me some new teeth in the army lol
You can buy new teeth how?
@@CookiesAnd40s gotta know a guy
is this for reserve or national guard to? since it’s the same basic training ?
active duty, but everyone is active during basic as you have stated.
How did you get through with your gauges??
I had to take them out
Do they take money out for housing durring basic training and AIT ?
housing is free
Question i know you get paid for being in the army. Lets say you're nurse in the army. Do you get paid for being there and your job as a nurse.
68w you get paid the same as everyone, the only thing that increases your pay is your rank . Not your job title . I hope I answered your question.
What rank were you for these payouts
E3
Sorry to ask but if you join with bachelors degree what rank would u start as
E4 specialist
depending on what your bach is in you can join as an officer
If you have a degree it would be stupid to go in as an enlisted soldier, go co
Isn’t a certain amount of taxes depending on what state you are station in, gonna be taken out of your pay
I am not sure . we don't have state Taxes in Texas
That’s good, but I wanna know what percentage of taxes are taken out if you are stationed in other states like Florida, Hawaii, Arizona, New York, etc etc
If you not married you can cut this pay in half
Why did you come in as an e3? Also can you tell us what’s the base pay as an e1?
You can get a promotion before basic training.
College credits
Degrees
Passing a pt test
Referrals
Just to name a few things .
You would have to look online , I was never an e1 so I’m not sure of the exact numbers. Best wishes to you on your journey 🥰
She doesn’t know cause e1 get paid under basic civilians
👋🏾 im late to this video
Did you get any bonuses when you left for basic training? 🤑
you get it once you complete all of your trainings , including AIT
So they don’t pay for your flight to go visit home?
No you pay for it
I have a video about holiday block leave :
czcams.com/video/3kFRUYVxdZo/video.htmlsi=GeRy5YYFBUgntfRd
Thank you for replying ...my son just got to basic training what was your MOS ?
I'm trying to understanding in do research because i haven't got to talk to him on for a lil second... can you write a letter what all do you need for graduation do the look up your address to see if it matches where you stay what if you have 2 address one for mailing one for living for temporary? Do the really look deep into that?
How long after basic training can a person get a v.a loan for a house???
I'm not sure you will need to don your research. But I do know being in the service does not automatically qualify you for this loan. There are other qualifications you must meet.
90 days of active duty to utilize va loan
Dang Air Force gets paid nothing compared to yall that's crazy!
Yikes !
we all get paid the same thing...just depends on rank + time. she came in as an e3 which is why it is higher than normal for basic training
Does this include ait?
No
I made 800-900/week at Amazon. Is the army really worth it?
Oh you brought it up at the end of the video lol
that's a question you have to consider !
if you are single and don't have children I would say go for it if its something that you want...
But you belong to the army... you don't belong to amazon get me ?
It’s not the money you go in for it’s the benefits
@@laniisavage410its worth it because amazon is not a career
If u are 35 and join how long is basic training?
It's the same for everyone no matter the age
I am about to go will turn 35 too 😂😂😂 I am ready to be dogged out
10 weeks rather your 18 or 30+
Where do you go and see all of this??
Dfas my pay account.
What are the bonus? For joining
ask your recruiter they would have what being offered currently.
Amazon is the most toxic work environment 😭
So is the military 😂😂 except you can't go home 🤷🏽♀️
@@tanzzyi6198 But the training and the skills! It teaches discipline.
@@tyerahill1530 exactly girl!
@@tanzzyi6198 so is almost every company I’ve worked for
I pay 1k a month in child support. Would the military even be worth it ?
You would be able to provide benefits for your child. But If you can afford 1k a month that means your current job pays more.
Your child support would be reduced based on what you make in the army plus free Healthcare for you and children
