As mentioned above, the United States Army is an excellent employer *if* you (and your family) are willing to make difficult sacrifices for your job and country.
The Army will demand more of you than any other job you can take in the United States.
You will be early to rise, and late to sleep. You may work 14 hours a day, and never see a dime of "overtime" (no such term in the Army). You may work three weeks in a row, in the burning sand in the middle of Nowhere, California, without showers, comfort food, or weekends. You may be sent half a world away from your friends and family to fight for your life for years at a time, never knowing if you will ever see home again.
The Army demands the highest sort of commitment, which, while described here in the "cons" section of this review, is also tacitly a "pro". The level of personal responsibility which is endowed to and required of each and every Soldier who serves is unmatched outside of the Army.
If you are single and are considering a term of service in the Army, you are in for the ride of your life!
If you have a family and are considering a term of service in the Army, please discuss it with your family to great lengths; they will, in effect, wear the uniform and bear the burden with you every day of your service.
