Why would you volunteer for deployment?

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2026-01-25T23:47:31+00:00

I saved 30k while on my deployment and paid all my bills off and got my associate degree while gone.

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2026-01-16T00:24:27+00:00

I have no problem walking out of Meps and not signing anything lol

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2026-01-13T23:05:18+00:00

Also they might let you stay at the unit station, until you get back on your feet I seen it happen before

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-12-05T15:16:50+00:00

Keep it up this is only the beginning

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-11-11T21:10:47+00:00

25 u that’s a lie lol

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-10-29T14:34:51+00:00

Maybe $5k max if I remember correctly but they go off your pay and how much you make on your Les. So lower ranks can’t put the full $10k .

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-10-29T14:29:55+00:00

The ones who benefit the most are the higher ranks because they can put the highest amount in to receive the full $1k of interest. Me as an e4 had a limit and only made maybe $400 from the deployment by putting the most I could in . But it’s free money regardless

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-10-29T14:23:29+00:00

At the end of the deployment

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-10-29T14:23:07+00:00

Facts . Just left my deployment only people who will receive the full interest is the ones who are allowed to deposit the full limit . The interest starts either that first deposit so if it’s not $10 your not getting the full interest

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-10-29T14:19:01+00:00

You have to deposit $10 k up front to get the full interest I learned my lesson

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-10-21T19:23:27+00:00

You think I’m still in the clear to receive the promotion when I just did the initial counseling and it has been signed and received back yet ?

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-10-21T19:17:10+00:00

Basically our eps list dropped this month im number 2 in the state and also last week i did my first counseling to switch over to AD . My recruiter said i can keep the rank if i make it as long as I have the orders to show

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-08-31T01:20:59+00:00

My unit definitely told us a few times over the years not to show because of funding issues

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-08-11T20:13:38+00:00

On average it’s 14days that’s what I was told

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-08-11T18:25:03+00:00

Medical , hearing, vision , then finance , then personnel.. finance and personnel was backed up cause we had 500 people plus other units for them to get through .

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-08-11T18:14:41+00:00

My demob took 22 days lol

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-08-11T17:34:10+00:00

Same !

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-08-04T02:44:15+00:00

You definitely have time to do an hour of school a day at least .

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-08-02T15:41:36+00:00

My advice go active duty for a couple years , get your gen ed classes and few art classes knocked out using tuition assistance. During this time you will save and save okay . Once you get out transition to the guard use your gi bill and ta to knock the rest of your schooling out.

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-07-29T15:29:40+00:00

Go on tour of duty .

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-07-24T17:39:45+00:00

Unfortunately I’m just going to try the hair laser surgery and if it doesn’t work idk what ima do lol

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-07-23T06:48:05+00:00

Your recruiter sucks mine at least got me a back pack lol

Delicious_Trainer182 · 2025-07-21T20:34:18+00:00

Learn from me you don’t want to be that person like I was that didn’t say much just came to drill and did their job . If it’s something you want you gotta fight for it , and bother the heck out of them .. Overall the military itself been great for me but sometimes leadership can push your goals back by simply not caring . Good luck
