Hell yeah! Thanks for the info

I know this video is old. but the only check up i was told about was 10 years after getting out..... which apparently I fell throw the cracks lol.

Tiny females complete Ranger school, so it can’t be that difficult.

I FIRE’d after 20 years but I’m still working 😢

This guy is smart.

Thanks BROTHER 💯 great Video!!!

The best financial advice I got in the army was back in 1997 when I was a private from SSgt Schmeling when I showed up to the 25th Lid. He said “Do NOT get credit cards”, allot 10% of my pay to a savings account in my home town that i didn’t have any access to, and another 20% towards a retirement plan or savings bonds. When I was medically retired out of the army in 2014 I had almost $25k in savings, no debt other than what I owed on my car and about $50k in savings bonds.

If you are good at writing and describing your medical condition, you might be better off doing your own claim process. I have found that sometimes, the American Legion VSO represents the VA more than you. I had some left knee issues that I attempted to claim, and the AL was siding with the VA, not me. I had to file an appeal and ultimately won my appeal, but that was a lesson to me that you know your issues more than anyone and might be your best representative rather than someone else.

Signing an option 40 once my tattoos are healed after removing. My Why is big enough to ignore everyone saying do not join. But fuck man it’s messing with my head making me wonder if I’m making wrong decision.

He said a lot without giving too much.

It's actually insane how hard they work us for so little money, I can't afford anything!

I went through Ranger school in 92. Class 1-93. it was four phases which consist of camp rogers for rap week, camp Darby 4th RTB , mountains at Yonah Mountain Tennessee 5th RTB, 7th RTB at Camp Shocklee desert Phase and finally 6th RTB swamp phase in Florida. 76 days long and so exhausted and mentally drained. I didn't even care about food anymore, I just wanted to sleep because I was hallucinating ridiculously on my patrols. Thank god no one peered anyone out of my class. graduated with only a couple spot reports. passed my team leader patrols. RAP week consisted of a lay out, PT test with a 5 mile run, day two was CWST and the slide for life at Victory Pond. Day 3 was night into day land nav. and a 6 mile buddy march. we also did the ranger stakes with 8 out of 11 weapons must be a go, day 5 was the malvesti and finally the 12 miler. we also did the 1 mile Darby queen o course. They smoked everyone so bad that the class started with 270 and by the time we started Darby phase we were down to 98 and the rest of the class were recycles from previous classes. got to love those blue berry pancakes. LOL

I'm a one and doner. The bureaucracy was driving me mad and I just coukdn't take it anymore.

Dan, went through with you but not sure if we met. B Co entire time. Class 07-13 great times.

Above all,There is no I in Team.Work together by team,do not try to do anything by yourself.if you don't know,Ask!!! Adapt and overcome!!!!

The pancakes sucked the 2nd time

Thanks I having a some type of relationship with Us military soldier he’s served 12 yrs now wants to retire & be home .yes we fell in love but it’s very very hard we have no control on anything the hrs are different we text & FaceTimed but I’m praying his papers for retirement goes through he’s exhausted stressed out this war in Gaza is like never ending lord give us both strength. Ty for sharing I’m trying to understand the military as my soldier boy tells me pls understand me . WOW I’m doing my research to understand the world he’s in a great man . Honestly at 1st i thought he was a scammer but he proved me wrong but as much as I’ve been able and feel in my gutt he’s the real deal. I still do my research I want to support him not be a burden bc he doesn’t need that he needs love & support. I just wanted to know if after 12 yrs serving he’s a E-6 in us Defence military is it true he can retire after 12 yrs . Thankyou for sharing your experience & I as well learned more then what I was looking for

I’m always getting all kinds of different answers, but my service officer DAV was very realistic with it. Bottom line is with my disabilities, I just got a second knee replacement, have sleep apnea, PTSD, lower back issues, and I’m still stuck at 90%.

I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life

I came to the conclusion to get out after about a week.

Nobody should feel they have to explain why they left the military if honorably discharged. After a term is up you have no obligation to ride or die. Some people join JUST so they can get that job training and/or college money (I did). Others because doing an enlistment is a family tradition. Some thought it would be a career only to find it didn't suit them. Plenty simply couldn't abide sharing an organization with toxic leaders they'd run into their whole career. (My worst battery commander was my battalion commander 10 years later. He still sucked.) So when that door opens to the outside world they go out airborne style. IMO as long as they served honorably, more power to them.

How will this work for someone that’s in basic and AIt we can’t send our own letters

bro the way u was a stud at 19, u shoulda went for NFL

I'm very impressed with your knowledge in the stock and real estate market.

Subscribed, I loved wrestling and now I do jujitsu. Beautiful profession to strive towards my wrestling coach helped me develop as a young man. A lot of lessons learned through competition and adversity.

Watching this military investment video has been eye-opening! 🚀 It reminds me of the incredible impact a financial adviser can have on securing a stable financial future. Trust me, working with a knowledgeable adviser is like having a strategic ally in your financial battlefield. It's the best move you can make for a winning financial strategy!

We spent years in the military and the jungles. Now the national guard goes 6 months and are considered veteran's. Want VA benefits go served 2 or 3 yrs

I most definitely like to see you do a sit down on beyond the beret from Jay from green beret chronicle

This is awesome I really appreciate your content

I'm divided on the ED one. Ive got two disks completely blown out and the crushed nerve sometimes makes my nuts feel like they are in a vice. There's no way I can do much then, but outside of those times which could last a few days, it's still pornstar performance usually. 😂 But yea it's very much an issue when it's an issue and not when it's not so Idk.

Tnx for this. I just had a heart attack and receiving care, one of our trailers hit my back too and bn on physical therapy and pain management. I’m just hoping to medboard. My ets is in 13months and it’s brought to start my process.

How can I get in touch with you guys. ? I’m a Prior service Marine and just enlisted in the Army NG. Ranger option available with a catch , I wanted to get some info from of y’all if you don’t mind .

Puzzling? These multiple videos giving tips on how to prepare for Ranger school. At the time I went through I was a standard, ground pounding, Marine grunt. No specialized training, non airborne and no elaborate prep work; just determination and grit. I was both physically and mentally prepared to take on whatever they threw at me. As Marines we don’t wear tabs, so many of the Army students were like: “why are you going through this”? Our answer was: for the training and experience and the satisfaction of graduating from one of the toughest courses in the military. Class 9-82.

Hey Dan/Michael. Can someone purchase a home using the VA loan and as soon as they move in start renting out rooms and still living there? Possibly even utilizing air b& b a couple weekends a month? Just trying to see what the rules are on short term rentals since I figured you can’t just move in a person and you not live there. Please advise

This is great! I’ve been looking for someone in the military community to put it all together for me. Some just focus on the TSP, some on real estate, others on the retirement process itself. You are the first one I’ve found to combine multiple aspects of military retirement and your desired lifestyle. Great content. Keep it up. Looking forward to seeing more!

This was hilarious It’s wild how bad it sucked but how funny it is now

Yeah. Your supervisor controls your career more than you do.

Please continue the series 🙌🏾

Did you ever get to work with or train with the Air Force PJ's? What are your thoughts on them?

Well I guess it's too late for me now!!!! 50 years later!!!!

Salute🇺🇸

I was a PFC in the 82nd when my squad leader asked if I wanted to go to Ranger School. A guy had dropped out and Division needed to fill that slot. I had 2 weeks to prepare. Physically, I was fit enough. As a private, I lacked a lot of knowledge. Most guys transitioned to the scout platoon or allowed to have a heavily modified schedule to study and train for Ranger School as Division hated sending failures. I learned this was normal in all other units. In Ranger Battalions, privates were grilled for a year or so getting ready for Ranger School. I was so lost on 7-8 and the technical side of patrol base operations and had never written an OPORD, let alone understand how to construct one. Having to learn all this stuff while tired and hungry at Ranger School was tough. I failed all my patrols in Darby, but showed enough they sent me through. I failed all my patrols in Desert Phase (McGregor) and recycled. Gulag was during Best Ranger competition so we sat for a month. The RIs helped me take what I'd done and learn from it. I soaked it up. After that, I cruised through recycled Desert, Mountains and Florida. I was not a PT stud, but competent. I was also 5'6" and 130 lbs. Rucking was a challenge, especially since RIs would not allow us to run during forced road marches. I will say that mental toughness is far more important than pure physical abilities, though you have to be able to hang. So many things they talk about, I can relate. I was one of those that lost a large chunk of deep skin on my heel and it was raw. Every step of Florida phase was pure intense pain. But no way was I going to quit after making it that far.

I never knew that this when I was active duty. I've been out since 12/1992 and don't have any type of rating.

Another rucking day, best wishes all

Unfortunately they exist and as in the government they are quite often asinine and frankly, stupid like the people instituting them. Even though army sf was far better than anything else army I got fed up with taking asinine orders from morons whose iq was far less than mine. I certainly didn't spend 10 years on active duty I still couldn't wait to get back to the world and college and my life and away from mindless zombies. It's far, far worse today.

I was Air Force going through RS back in the '80's when we had Utah (Dugway) phase. I remember being razed during RAP when it came to fitness assessment. I know I was doing the push-up and sit-ups correctly but the RI would only count every other one, where as Army troops were given every one they did. I did double. That went on all through RS but I didn't quit. One of the RI's that I thought hated me came, shook my hand after grad and told me that the reason they were hard on me and other services that come to RS was due to us representing the Rangers outside of the Army and they only want the best to do so. My advice, if you're coming from another service is prepare for doing more. More of everything and...don't quit! RLTW!

Thought it was Mighty Mouse in the thumbnail for a sec

You look a little like Miguel Cotto the Boxer 🥊 🤝

He’s gonna love high medical bills. Retirement would have given him Tricare prime forever

I feel like he makes way too many excuses. He could’ve been a god in special forces. He left.
