      US ARMY, GREAT PLACE FOR UNDECIDED FUTURES

      Ammunition sergeant

      Pros

      The army provides a foundation to those that are unsure about there future. While serving your country you have the opportunity to further your education using the armys many education programs. Soldiers have the chance to network with civilian contracted companys and help there chances for future employment. Life, health and dental insurance are amongst some of the most rewarding benefits of being a soldier. Staying in good shape is another free perk of the army, you can get all the physical training you desire.

      Cons

      Possible extended amounts of time away from your family are always a concern of new soldier. The army really does not offer much stability outside of a steady paycheck.

      It's like the Post Office with Guns

      Pros

      Not a bad place to start out if you lack discipline or direction and especially if you're young and don't have any inkling what you want to do. Especially with the new GI Bill, you get a couple years in, and then you can go get a bachelors degree after maturing to the point of knowing what you want to do. If you show initiative, you have the opportunity to take on responsibility at an early age that you might not get in the private sector for 10-20 years in a job. When deployed, you have the opportunity to bank some money that might otherwise be spent while in the states. Some of the individuals you work with you will be amazed at their dedication to the Army and the missions at hand.

      Cons

      I liken the US Army to working at the Post Office with Guns. Extremely bureaucratic. Inefficient. A lot of idiots in charge. Having to move every 2-4 years. Career progression possibly limited by inept bureaucrats. For officers- your pay "stagnates" (in comparison to private sector positions) at upper levels. Wartime hazards: getting shot at, pressure deployments causes on marriage, the fact that a contractor is getting paid 4-10 times what you are earning. A beautiful metaphor for career progression to becoming a general: it's a single mistake marathon - make one mistake (not having a Ranger tab, taking risks) and you are out of the running for the higher ranks (Colonel and higher)
