Military?

[civicsisedan]

Dont do it hahaha.. Just kidding.

I'm in the Army now at Ft. Benning, could answer some questions for ya from a non-recruiter stand point.

1. Dont believe all that a recruiter says, he has to make a quota.

2.Why the Army?

3. If your going to join the Military, heres my number one suggestion, pick a job that you can do something with outside of the Military when you get out. Most people dont spend the 20 years to retire. Get something out of the Military.

4. Marines would be out (you cant pick your job)

5. I would suggest the Air Force, shorter deployments, better living arrangements, same pay, and you can pick what you wanna do.

6. Army is alright, lower standard of living, longest deployments, but theres still some jobs out there that you can do something with when you get out.

7. Goto school while on active duty. Online classes.

8. It does not affect your G.I. Bill, every active soldier gets Tuition Assistance while serving on Active Duty every fiscal year. most don't know about it or take advantage of it, use it because if you dont it juts goes away.

Anything else.. Pm me

Since when? My cousin enlisted in the Corps less than a month ago and he picked his job.

5. I would suggest the Air Force, shorter deployments, better living arrangements, same pay, and you can pick what you wanna do.

I wont say that a/f is looked down on, but it isnt looked on as favorably as Navy or Marines because their jobs are so compartmentalized. Especially if you want to get into aviation, Navy is the way to go.
