What up everybody! Here's five mistakes that every new marine seems to make. Number one, don't go out and buy an expensive car, especially a Mustang. I don't know why every new marine thinks that he or she has to have a brand new Mustang, but please do your research. Like, don't go out and blow your entire bootcamp paycheck and then some on a brand new loan to get a brand new car that's gonna break down anyway and look into interest rates. If you go out and buy a new Mustang that has a 25% interest rate and you just blew all the money you have on it. Oh my god, that's that's gonna give your staff sergeant a heart attack. Buy one that gets you from point A to point B and doesn't break the bank. Tip number two, don't wear a motor gear everywhere you go. When you get out of boot camp and when you get out of MCT you have the ability to buy a lot of motor gear and your parents are gonna want to buy it, your grandma's gonna want to buy it, your brothers and sisters, you are gonna want to buy it. Everybody ends up buying motor gear at one point in time or another, but please don't go spending like $500 on a sweatshirt and a t-shirt that says the few, the proud, the Marines because I've seen that happen where people spend five or $600 on this stuff and then they never wear it again. Truth be told, if you wear an eagle globe and anchor shirt everywhere you go, other Marines are going to make fun of you so hard, so so hard. And then years later you're gonna look back at those pictures of you and you're gonna be like what was I thinking? Just try not to buy too much motor gear and please, please, please don't wear it out in public. When you first get out of boot camp you are extremely, extremely cocky and you get 10 days of what's called boot leave. Now this is your time to go home and parade around your dress blues and be like look at me, I'm a bad aspirin. But be careful because I've seen that happen a lot of times where brand new Marines are on this, I like to call it like a boot high where they just think they're they're invincible right and then they go to the club or they go out to a bar and they get their ass kicked because they're extremely cocky that somebody that actually knows how to fight like yeah you know you're your 10 belt martial arts but that's not gonna get you very far in a bar fight. So please don't be too cocky, I know like that's really hard for new Marines not to do like I know you're a badass, I know you just got the Eagle Globe and Anchor and you're a Marine now but but take like two steps back, be humble about it a little bit, everybody's gonna look up to you at home, all your friends are gonna look up to you, they know you're a badass just just don't be so cocky that you get yourself into trouble. When you get out of boot camp and you have those 10 days of boot leave life is great but then you go through MCT and your M.O.S. school and all of a sudden you're like oh man oh crap I have to live in the barracks, I got to deal with field days and random formations and everything is broken and my stuff gets stolen, no this sucks like why can I just go live out in town but a way of getting around that and this is what a lot of people do and it's a it's a bad idea is go find a random girl out in town and just marry her so you can get out of the barracks. I shouldn't have to tell you why that's a super bad idea but it happens all the time. Dude's end up getting divorces, they end up losing a bunch of money, it takes a big tool out on your relationship and your mental health and just all this bad stuff like please please please when you get to your new duty station just don't get married right away, like enjoy the suck a little bit, it's not that bad like barracks life sucks but you don't have to go get married to some random monster out in town just so you can move out of the barracks like trust me it's a bad idea wait and if it's if he or she is the right one for you great go marry her but but not right away like not within the first like two weeks of meeting her okay that's a big mistake and for a lot of people it doesn't pan out well. The last thing I want to touch on is how every marine gets out of boot camp gets out of MCT has a little bit of money in their pocket and they think they gotta go buy the entire best buy all right like I see Marines are like all right I got four thousand dollars let's go buy two Xbox ones a PlayStation 4 a portable DVD player even though nobody uses DVDs anymore three new MacBook computers an iPod touch and a printer even though I have nothing to print a lot of new Marines never had to like budget before they never had a bank account maybe maybe some of them never even had a job so all of a sudden they have all this money and they want to go buy electronics but you can't really do that like that's a good way to go into debt to lose all of your money and then just bad things come of that so yeah treat yourself a little bit go buy a new computer maybe go buy a new Xbox one or something but don't go breaking the bank on brand new electronics because that's a good way to lose all that harder money that you got while you're at boot camp MCT and MLS school well that does it for this video guys if you enjoyed the video please subscribe to my YouTube you can also follow me at Clayton Philpo for Instagram and Twitter and yeah keep coming back later
