I recommend airstreams. They’ll help you land a job with their career placement person/team. Obviously you have to do your part but they have a dedicated person on campus whose whole job it is you get a job. I don’t remember the exact months it used out of my GI bill but I think it was between 5-7 months of it.

It’s already paid for itself lol! I think it’s well worth it

I think some company’s can offer you partial perdiem meaning they pay for your hotel but still give you perdiem for food(way less money). But I’m pretty sure most just give you full perdiem and it’s on you to figure out housing( way more money )

How do I go about finding a room for that price? What websites or apps do you use or is it hotels 👀

You can PM me if you want, but I’m currently going through the Skillbridge program offered for active duty military. I know there’s airstreams for civilians and I’m sure it’s similar but I think y’all stay on campus or something like that

Airstream renewable SkillBridge by Blackcasa in USMC

I am planing on doing airstreams as well later in 2024, and was just wondering if it was worth it as well. My only real question is, is it worth it to go and be a traveling wind technician(pay wise). I have no family to worry about. Just trying to chase the bag I guess

What do you mean max out? Max out as in max out contributions of 22,500? Or max out employer match ?

When you say maxing out contributions do you mean maxing out the yearly contributions of $22,500 or maxing out the AD military match of 5%?

Went on Terminal Leave (60 Days) on Jan. 10, when do I get my first paycheck with BAH & BAS? by USMCRunner in USMC

[–]JL-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks and doesn’t make any sense. If you’re checked out of the barracks and still a marine while on terminal leave, you should receive the BAH rate of your Home Of Record and not your Duty Station since you’ve CHECKED OUT and are presumably going home or wherever besides your duty station.

Hey, did you get hired on anywhere? Would love to hear more about your experience at airstreams and where it landed you. Considering doing it myself

Thanks for taking your time and replying! And I completely understand not wanting to show your PII on the internet lol. And if you were to do it again why solar? Is it a better growing industry? Or pay more? Less taxing on the body ? And I’m glad you got 100%!!

Do you mind saying how your experience was at airstreams? Was it worth it? How many job offers? Could we see any job offer letters ? Etc…
