Hey YouTube!
My name is Jason Burds. I spent 4 years as an active duty Marine, got out to attend college while staying in the IMA for 4 years. After graduating, I got hired to get a commission and fly in the Air National Guard where I was for 2 years.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to continue towards that dream of military aviation. However, after 10 years of involvement in the military, I have learned a lot about military programs, VA benefits and the struggles of transitioning out of the military. I have left the military by choice and also not by choice and there are unique difficulties to both.
I believe the military is a great opportunity to set yourself up for success from a young age. On this channel I share my lessons to my younger self (or people in my younger self's shoes) in hopes that my mistakes can be avoided by others.
Use your time in the military and the benefits you earn wisely and strategically.
