08.22.14 | does the U.S. military even pay well or equal out all the bullshit you have to deal with with useful benefits? (y'know, apart from all the higher ups and special branches)

08.22.14 | So basically it doesn't. Our military gives you access to all kinds of education, from getting people without the necessary requirements into subjects like medicine to funding courses. They also pay for your lodging if they require you to move somewhere else. They get about 1-2+ months of vacation per year and all kinds of other benefits and bonuses. (like if you work on a day you'd have off/where nobody else wants to work guard shifts you'll get double wage) So.. yeah. |

Wolfhorde
08.22.14 | So the U.S. military will fund your college/uni education and pay your rent? Because if so, it sure as hell didn't sound like it.
What I'm saying is that if joining the army doesn't come with hefty benefits then what's the fucking point? You're basically giving up some of your basic rights and probably a shitload of time.

08.22.14 | "that everyone should have"
That is exactly my point. Of course it's probably better than most low skill or shenanigan jobs in the U.S. - but is that a good standard? I think not, that's why I was comparing it to more general OECD standards. |

08.22.14 | I have a lot of respect for the navy and the marines, and understand that many people join because they have "nothing better to do" or are generally unfit for any other kind of work... but really think about if it's something you're willing to devote yourself to. best of wishes

08.22.14 | ignore these dummies who have no idea what they are complaining about, the military is a great employer with a shit load of benefits if you take the time to use them. there's a lot of bullshit to put up with but if you pick the right specialty (something you like and will translate well to civilian life) and carry that beyond retirement you can easily be drawing two retirements at some point in your life. |

08.22.14 | oh man the unqualified life advice being thrown around in this thread is astounding and hilarious |

08.22.14 | Holy fuck what Calc said so hard.
especially the active component of the services, like god damn the military is a one way ticket to a house with a white picket fence a cute dog and a hot wife |

Hyperion1001
08.22.14 | yeah the US military takes care of it's servicemen (as it should, being one of the largest institutions in the world). youll get an education and be basically guaranteed a middle class lifestyle youre whole life.
the military isnt for everyone, but its certainly not a bad choice if your the right type of person for it. |

not your whole life, its only until you retire, then 20 more years of upper-middle class or better await if you played your cards right as you draw retirement. |
