I proudly served in the US Army, but that was quite a few years ago. As in everything there are pluses and minuses.Deployment is an issue as well as duty stations...reminds me of the Rolling Stones song "you can't always get what you want." Home sickness is also an issue, but the common thread is that everyone around you is in the same position..you already have that as a common bond. Friendships are made that last a lifetime.

Also your experience and duty stations will depend somewhat on your training. Look into what types of training is available to you, what can be marketable for the future, and link it to your interests. In many aspects the military is similar to civilian life...you have a job and perform it every day. Granted war time is ugly, but without those who came before us those currently serving and those who serve in the future, we would not enjoy what we have today, and for that I am very grateful

Deployments keep you away from home.

That is about the only complaint that I have but hey I signed that dotted line.

The pros are much more.

Great benefits, good retirement, and a sense of pride for being apart of something bigger than yourself.

Captain A**Hole this is to you

When have you ever stood up for anything in your life?

It's not murder its defending somebody that doesn't have the will or strength to do it themselves.. Grow a pair, sign up, and if you still feel that way at least you have the right to.

the same as any other job anywhere else. But being stuck in a contract if you don't like where you're at...you can't be a puss and just quit

Personaly, I loved the Army
