How much a SSGT in the Marine Corps Reserve gets paid! 🤯 #military #marines #army #navy #airforce

Then he comes back home, applies for normal jobs paying 40k-50k and is told he’s under qualified.

[pickle]

My dumbass fr thought he was making 3, 900 bucks a day for 21 days.

[ProtegeTrackz]

Don't worry bro, I'm 17yrs in on the active duty side and I STILL make shit pay. 💯

[Weekend]

For ppl who don’t know, reserves means part-time. You are free to work in a civilian job. Best of both worlds

I got out the marines in 2005 and went work in the construction field. I could’nt believe my first paycheck of $1, 200 for just one week of work. I was hooked. That was a month and a half’s pay for me as a 1 year Sgt.

[basribocek]

The government doesnt deserve such hard working men all my respect to this guy hope he gets something that earns him more in the near future

[nickythao]

As an E-4 in the reserves working 24 hours 21 days I make a little over 2k. For anyone who’s wanting to join, don’t think it’s gonna make you rich.

That’s SSgt Lokers!! I was in that same hooch with him this July

[victorpertel]

Hard work and paying shit. Thanks to the government

[KemalAhmedIsAwesome]

This is why recruitment is shit right now. Military contractors and suppliers are the ones making bank

[Blue.s]

But The military pays for your shelter food cloths and everything else you don't have to spend anything so you actually make way more if you think about it

[goodhouse]

You’re telling me this guy doesn’t sleep for 21 days 😂😂

[javiermartinez]

Got on the grill master 7s 😭💀.... All jokes aside thank you for your service 💪🤙🔥

[cwell]

Based on an 8-hour workday for three weeks, he's making about $23 an hour.

[mir.]

That's really horrible. I don't know how people could keep that up.

[Datsick]

When I joined the Marines I think I was getting like $1, 050 every 2 weeks as an infantryman 😂😂

[hoodfave]

You don’t enlist to be a marine for the pay 😂

[who]

we’re “on the clock” for 24 hours no one is actually working 24hrs straight for 21 days

[austinedrington]

And in the AirForce as a E3 crew chief on TDY’s i make 4-5 grand for 2-4 weeks of 8-10 hour days 5 days a week. (Join literally any branch but the marines, way too underfunded)

[Topanga.]

Thank you for your service! I truly believe we need to celebrate/thank our troops hell of a lot more.
