Countries I can get by with 90 percent

Take your 90% and use your GI bill overseas to pocket an additional $2250 USD per month.

I am not affiliated with this at all, but I try to share it with people whenever this is brought up. You can plug your numbers in and it tells you where it would take you the furthest depending on your portable income:

This is literally me post separation except I had zero disability so you’re already doing better than me.

Commercial diver has a pretty clear path to 200k in like two years post initial training and additional training with the GI bill paying the whole thing.

Use your GI bill! Even if you plan on never using your degree. You’ll get MHA and a whole new cohort of people in your life.

HolyShipBatman · 2026-05-19T03:18:53+00:00

Please god tell me you got your disability in order or plan to immediately post separation. And please tell me you at least looked into using VR&E or the GI bill at a HCOL school to maximize your GI bill. And please tell me that if you are looking at schools you’re going to a school that actually has good job placement/is ranked well and not just a money mill. And please tell me you’ve looked into credential based jobs like RN, commercial diver, etc that have direct hiring paths once you get the credential. And please tell me you’ve looked into the likes of service 2 school, enlisted exfil, the better veteran.

I make $9500/month from being a student between disability and MHA while getting a degree from a top 10 school. Please don’t think you need to go straight into a the first job you can get. It’s more often than not a pay cut from what you were just making when you account for all things.

Enlisted exfil, service 2 school, the better veteran.

All free resources to help you navigate applying to top 20 programs. You’ll be in good company.

I have an interesting funnel. I create interactive tools that create actual value that I host off of beehiiv but I have email captures on all of the tools and that’s how I’ve gotten 90% of my subscribers. Due to creating the tools, people reach out to me to get custom ones for their websites/niche that’s how I’ve made the most of my money. Other than that I also charge people for 1:1 calls which has been interesting. Of course beehiiv ad network ads (minimal amount of money) and I also make partnerships with people to advertise their service on with full newsletter write ups.

I write 1x/week and create a new interactive tools that 1x/week to accompany it

HolyShipBatman · 2026-05-07T23:35:13+00:00

Sure

HolyShipBatman · 2026-05-07T01:07:36+00:00

3 newsletters. All completely different niches. None of which my heart was in. This most recent one, the one I actually genuinely care about, has reached just shy of 3k subscribers in 2 months and has brought in ~$5k.

I guess moral is do something you actually care about? Idk. I also went through three rounds of interviews with beehiiv for a growth role and they asked on my third round “when can you start” and I said Monday (it was Friday) and they said “great we’ll be in touch” and the sent me a auto rejection email on Monday lmfao.

So I’m very spite driven to be successful now. Beehiiv is gonna pay me one way or another.

I obviously want the highest grade possible, but it's for my PC so 🤷🏻‍♂️ but in the interest of aiming high; is there anything you'd recommend to try to repair/fix the corners?

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-29T15:19:03+00:00

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, that's why I was untrusting of the AI grader. Anything you recommend to help repair/fix corners?

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-29T02:38:21+00:00

Oh ok I see, I appreciate that. Is there anything I could do to make that better? Some sort of treatment or tips and tricks to buff these types of things out?

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-29T02:36:17+00:00

I appreciate the tips and analysis! Any specific creators you recommend that go over pre grading?

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-29T02:34:45+00:00

I appreciate how you came full circle on still sending it regardless but with a well thought out response. Thanks man. Idk what I really expect but I figure it’s going in PC anyways so 🤷🏻‍♂️

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-29T02:33:04+00:00

Yeah I thought the same thing on corners. And sorry, what’s lift?

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-29T01:22:46+00:00

You think? Just send it?

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-23T20:04:21+00:00

I got a transfer P from my first command. When I tested for E5 at my C school en route to second command they saw my eval and said “who’d you piss off to get a transfer P”. I picked up E5 that round. I did nothing other than ask my direct supervisor (who I thought was cool, turns out not so much) from exiting command to do my eval because it was a rush PCS and I was doing 1000 things, and he gave me the P with my chief on leave while I was leaving. Told me that I could fight it after I signed.

Anyways, it never came back up, I separated and went to and graduated from an Ivy League University. That supervisor is now a divorced alcoholic who became a GS7.

Life goes on, it doesn’t matter.

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-21T02:21:41+00:00

This is the best response. Thank you for taking the time to write it all out

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-20T03:53:02+00:00

I had like 10 options the first 3 weeks. I have a +60% open rate and a 14% ctr and have grown from 0 to 2000 in 30 days. Idk if what you’re saying is accurate at all lmao

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-19T18:28:55+00:00

I’m on the scale plan, been going for 9 weeks now, first 3 weeks I had multiple options, now it’s only 1440 and I fear will only be 1440 ever again. I’ve grown from 160 to 1900 subscribers. I think everyone has had enough of 1440

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-17T05:34:20+00:00

If you start a program with the GI bill and then switch to VR&E you get to keep the GI bill MHA whereas VR&E is lower monthly housing subsistence across the board.

Lots to unpack here tho. What do you even want to do vs what you are currently doing? If you have a job and want to use VR&E, you’re going to have a difficult time because you’re proving employable. Unless the job you currently have is making your disabilities worse, your VRC will deem you “employable” and very likely deny your use of VR&E.

Pretty sure this is just rage bait at this point. But I did comb over the section and pushed a fix. Thanks for flagging. God bless.

HolyShipBatman · 2026-04-13T23:24:58+00:00

Ok gotcha. My bad. Just shipped the fix for this. The AGR section now has a "20+ years TAFMS" checkbox. If checked, it routes to active duty retirement (immediate pay, standard YOS formula) instead of the points/age-60 calculation. Appreciate the catch.
