In a recent article entitled, Things to consider before joining the U.S Military, it elaborates on the importance of making the right decision when it comes to joining the military. Asking questions such as: Are you committed to it? Are you willing to do what must be done in order to join? Many look at joining the military as a scary thought and stray away from this unheard of circumstance;however, many believe it is their right to aid in serving their country, and making our lives a little easier.
In this article by Kelly Kilpatrick she states, "once you have enlisted, you are under contract with the US government and getting out is no easy feature." Committing yourself fully, you are asked to remain with the military unless certain circumstances hinder you to. It is a scary thought to be trapped under such an iron grip, but in the long run it may be exactly what you need.
The article also states, " Think about what skills you would like to posses at the end of your term." Joining the military can be a very rewarding oppurtunity, leaving you with many skills in which you can carry with you throughout your everyday life. These skills may also aid in a career outside of the military, which in turn can give you the best of both worlds.
The article emphasizes the thought of joining the military by proclaiming, "wether it is working with computers, mechanics, or administrative duties, the military can provide you with the best training in a wide variety of areas. The military, a vast arrary of skills and techniques, a scary thought in the minds of many, is something to consider and can greatly benefit your life as a whole.
The article also states that you should know what you want to do for a job. Military jobs, just like regular jobs, are paid well depending on what rank you are. E-1 is the lowest paying, while officers are paid more. The military are scavengers, searching for the youngest and healthiest prey.
