CORRECTION! I made a mistake when I was making the slide for after April 1st. E1 should have said $2, 319 and not $2, 752. That was the before April pay of an E4 and I think I copied that slide to edit for this one.

I join the Army in May as a Mechanic and am so excited to start this chapter!

Best advice i can give: if youre making less than 40k a year, go active duty. Your pay might only be like 2k a month, but your benefits are like a invisible 3-4k a month,

If you make over 40k and like your job, go guard/reserve.

I joined the guard and it has been super worth it. My only "dislike" is i am now stuck in a state i have grown to hate until i can get a higher paying job in a different state that can support flying to another state regularly

My husband is an E-3 so this is all really exciting to hear. He just joined in 2023 and we actually just had our 3rd baby (the only one we had while in the military), and I do have to say as a military spouse It’s really nice to have all that medical coverage and I had really nice prenatal care. The hospital on base was amazing!
We live off post and our apartment is really nice too and having BAH is so beneficial for families. There are a lot of positive benefits for sure. It’s gonna be sad once he leaves for his deployment but that’s just part of it and I know we’ll get through it. It’s definitely worth it in the long run.
Your videos are super helpful btw! I watched all of them the whole entire time he was in basic training 😊

May be just me but i think people in the military shouldnt have to pay federal taxes!!

Going to infantry osut in February I'll be turning 30 before I finish but I'm beyond excited and a little nervous!! See y'all there!

Damn those are major upgrades from the $650 checks I’d get every two weeks as an E1 back in 2004. Inflation is real.

[omargil]

will join in 2025, looking forward to my first year

[roddricousswanson]

I am 30 and I just joined and I’m in delayed entry ship off September 16. Hopefully I’m not grilled too bad.🎉

I think people in the service should make just as much as actors and people who play sports cause they’re protecting our country period

[chrisgross]

When I joined in 1970 ‘s our pay was $368.36, they took $68.00 tax’s, the rest of it was put into money orders,

Got my date for bootcamp for 3/25 gonna be doing AV in the navy. Excited!

[Ned-rt]

It's doubtful that after the military anyone can be in a job thats more fulfilling. Theres something about the responsibility and in my case your shipmates. The money seems awesome compared to when i was in the Navy. But it's noe an easy life.

[CFPNOLES]

HOLY SHAT!!!!..I was thinking you guys make WAAAY more that..that's insane!!!!...dayum...THANK EVERYONE FOR THEYRE SERVICE!!!...WOWZERS...THIS VID JUST BLEW MY MIND!!!

[painmt]

For any veteran who has been in a combat zone, I think the government should provide for medical FOR LIFE, and income tax exemption for life, , also for anyone honorably discharged or currently serving.

[Nevernormal]

So if I am e-4 and ship out to basic on June 23 2025 I will be making 3, 027 while at bootcamp? Lets go!!!!

[adorabledeplorable]

When I joined in 1973 as an E-1 was $307.20
When discharged in 1977 as an E-5 it was $516.30
If I was 20 years old, single and lived the way I did then …..I would be rich . I lived on ship and saved the majority of my pay and saved enough put a good down payment on a house when I was discharged .

I ship out April 1 as 68W my buddy just sent me your video this is great.

[SOLRAY]

Getting shipped out on my bday May 19 as a 35n.

I was excited when I heard that bah is not taxed then I saw that child support takes 65% of it including bonus if you get them . Least I won’t be in debt for long 🤣
