The main benefit is that you will have a job with honor and purpose, that is absolutely secure. You won't have to worry about money so long as you keep your expenses minimal. You'll see the world and have opportunities that most people never get a chance at. Health care, dental, life insurance, all taken care of. Want to get married? The military will actually pay you more so that you can take care of your family. They will even increase your housing allowance so you can have a better place to live.
Its a pretty good deal. Serve well and the army will take care of you.
Post 9/11 GI Bill, financial/legal protection (SCRA), education help, TRICARE, military discounts, experience for civilian jobs, family support, 30 day vacations, life insurance... So many opportunities.
3 hots & cot. The checks don't bounce. A skill; A Pension & healthcare. A spot reserved in Arlington if your good. The ammo is free. Can't get that at IBM or burger King.
