US Army reviews

You could spend a lot of time away from you home. Depending on where you are at, you could be talked down too like you are a little kid but not all places are like that. You will be trained to ignore a lot of things but your family will not so they are the ones that suffer the most. The pay isn't anywhere close to what civilians get paid to do the same jobs overseas. It doesn't make sense when you think about it. Why stay in if you can make the same amount of money in 1-2 months as you do in a year.

Military Towns to me are the biggest downsides to working in the US Army. Most of the towns surrounding posts are awful. Crime is high, poverty is high, and they are in the middle of no where. Very few are in major cities, so if your into country living than these living arrangements wont bother you at all. Another downside to the US Army is the overall Pay. The governemnt has made great strides to try to make the pay competitive to civilian jobs. But they fall short in my estimate by about 10,000$ In my view with the hours we put in soldiers should be compensated above civilian pay charts.
