Can you use the VA loan while active duty ?
Comment from : Jv Castillo

Would you leave behind a $150k/year fully remote job to be an officer, this is my current mental quarrel
Comment from : Li Mi

Lots of enlisted would kill to start with 38K as base pay
Comment from : Justin Gulbronson

I dont get those 4to 6 yrs pay increases You really have to mess up not to be promoted after 2years They can also not renew your contract Of cousre things have changed since the 80s

Hi Jake, could you say anything about trying to commission into the airforce in 2023? I tried reaching out to my recruiter and he basically said they aren't interested in anyone who doesn't have a background in engineering or coding, etc Contrary to my experience for sure and contrary to your previous experience as an english teacher Thanks for any info you might have

I wish I had, when I had the opportunity!
Comment from : James Jacobs

Thank you for all the great information I just have a question about pay for 'specialisation' For example, you might get extra pay for being an IT specialist, a Pilot or Intelligence officer (I am just guessing here) but the question is if the pay is SIGNIFICANTLY higher because of a 'specialisation' or in reality, its just $100 or $150 extra a months? Thanks for your help

As an X enlisted and as a 1lt latter in life I can tell you that you should never get out and not sign up for the reserves I could give you a long story but, I won't att good luck
Comment from : Dennis S

You should contribute tax deferred to your traditional side tsp instead Compound on the dollars now will far outweigh taxes over time Plus you can always Roth convert at opportune times brbrYou’re investing $978/month That’s 30!

Hey, Jake I enjoyed your video! I just graduated college with a criminal justice degree I am very interested in joining to be an officer How high can I start coming in?
Comment from : Noah Mosley

damn 8 years as an officer destroy a 20 year SGM lol
Comment from : William Ryan

Hey man thank you so much for your video I have my 4 year degree and am debating whether to enlist as an E4 or commission as an officer The main reason why I’m joining the army is to get post 911 GI Bill towards graduate school, looking forward to medical school brbrSince med school is my ultimate goal, I don’t want to spend too much time in the army I want to do 3 years max active duty I know that 3 years active is enough to get 100 GI bill benefits for enlisted soldiers, is this the same for officers?brbrAlso could an officer do a 3 year active duty? I know it still comes with 5 years in the IRR, but that’s all good brbrThank you again, finding information can be challenging at times brbrDiego B

Hello from South Korea!

A bit of information for those that are in the private contract world, YOU CAN SHARE HOW MUCH YOU MAKE YOUR EMPLOYER HOWEVER CANNOT TELL YOU NOT TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION THAT IS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO SUGGEST YOU NOT SHARE

As an active duty E-5 (6 years) I make $54,000 total including BAS and BAH A Maj with 12 year's of experience makes $87,000 with Base pay alone That didn't include the sign on bonus, Aviation incentive pay, BAS, or BAH, or any other incentivebrbrBest place for you to be is deployed Make all of your pay non-taxable during the deploymentbrbrAlso if your a pilot, Boeing will pay up to $370k to fly the 747 and match a 401k up to 20
Comment from : Matthew Mazur

Wow, what a helpful video I really appreciate all the info you took the time to explain I will be commissioning as a second lieutenant in the active duty army in about 3 years and I was looking for a video like this to help get a better understanding of the pay and how to manage my monthly income Thank You for making this video and thank you for your service!

Comment from : Trader TElphee

I’m 34 and have been considering joining the air guard One of my roommates just finished basic and said I should consider going to OCS right off the bat I have a career I really enjoy and don’t want to leave it Is it possible to be a part-time officer in the guard or do you have to be full-time? Are you able to choose the location you serve in and could I keep my current career/job? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Jake for such a detailed video of the actual numbers of what a military officer makes!brSince you’re an investment and finance guy as well, would you think it would be financially wise for me to try and join the Air Force as an officer Currently, I am 33 years old with a wife and 2 young children I roughly make around $75,000 a year
Comment from : Daniel Sandefur

고맙습니다
Comment from : Kirin Jimmy Park

I would still count the Optional saving that is being put away based on your own free will to the “left over” So your true “left over” is 4,466, not 3,988
Comment from : The ReflexBoxer 2ndLT

How do i an E2 make more than an officer🤨
Comment from : ErectTidePod

For some years now trying to find out the REAL numbers behind wages and salaries this is by far the best piece of info I’ve seen As someone wanting to be an officer as well this is great! Thank you very much!

Comment from : suppork

AFROTC here, thanks for the info Gives me something to look forward to
Comment from : CurtSauce

Unrelated to this video in specific, but I’m looking to maybe do rotc for the af This career path is something my family hasn’t really done I have no one to all to military-wise for the modern military besides my uncle who was a paratrooper So sorry if I don’t make a lot of sense with anything I’m asking or saying because I don’t understand many codes Anyways, as a 2nd lieutenant, are you required to live on-base? I’m interested in this career, but really would prefer to not be told where to live permanently Also, what are the exact responsibilities of becoming an officer? I ask because I wanted to become an engineer and am planning on going to school for a mechanical engineering degree that I may use later I have always wanted to work on cars, and am not upset by the fact that I won’t be working on cars for a while, but I am hoping I have enough free time to get into my car hobby until I retire and work on cars full time and blah blah I’ll sort that later But with this said, is it possible to become an officer and become some sort of engineer? Or something along those lines? Thank you ahead of time, appreciate the help

Comment from : Daniel Keathley

Comment from : DAngelo Wordlaw

The Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits are huge if you are going for a Master's degree at a private institution I did a dual master's program in Chicago and my school participated in the Yellow Ribbon Program which basically covers the rest of the cost for a private school that the GI Bill doesn't normally cover So I spent 3 yrs in grad school, finished with a Masters in Finance, and an MBA, paid nothing in tuition, and got E5 with dependents BAH (that's the standard across the board no matter what rank you ETS as) every month I was enrolled, at the Chicago COLA rate (which was a little over $2K/mo back in 2016) So in that 3 years, the government paid out about $175K worth of benefits, and I still have a few months left if I ever wanna take some additional classes And it will pay for my CFA exam costs, if I ever get around to doing that hell

Hey I have a question! What if I'm a officer O-1, have a wife and we decide to live on base, how much would I receive per month after taxes?
Comment from : Kenny _Hernandez

Keep them coming You mentioned 20 down payment, I’m sure you are aware about the VA loans, that’s 0 down payment and usually has the best interest rate I highly recommend this loan

I think you could rank this video better Check if there are any similar videos and emulate them This is a very searchable topic and you should have More views It’s a great video !
Comment from : Jeff Wybo

Hello sir, thank you for the video I was surprised to hear that your background before being an officer is quite similar to mine (teaching in Korea and such) I also taught English in Korea for around 3 years, did my masters degree here and am currently still living in Korea I am strongly considering doing an OTS packet soon since civilian life isn't really working out post-graduation and I've always considered joining the Air Force Did you by any chance use any recommendation letters from prior managers at the schools you taught at in Korea? Also, did your experience teaching carry strongly as 'leadership' ability in the eyes of the board? I was thinking they could see it as leadership ability somewhat since you have to lead a classroom toward a learning objectivebrbrAlso, I was wondering, were you living in Korea when you started contacting the officer recruiter and getting your packet together?
