getting out of the military is a good thing, or a bad thing?

Answer 1

Depends, if it's what that person really wants.

Answer 2

Depends on what your MOS is. Is it an MOS with demand in the job market? Or did you join for the college fund? It all depends on you basically? Why not post a resume on Monster and see how many responses you get? I was hired 1 day out of the Army. I went from making 14 dollars an hour to 25 dollars an hour, and haven't looked back. The Army was great, but the world is so big, and there are plenty of things to experience. So do you feel confident in what you have learned in the Army? good luck.

Answer 3

How many years do you have in already? Retirement is great if you can last 20 years but I am thinking of getting out anyways... they offer that final move so I want to go where there is more family for my son to know. Another good question, what kind of education do you have? If you have a bacelor's degree you're in good shape... anything less you may be looking at hard hours to make the kind of living you are used too.

Talk to your Family Support Center and they can help you get information relative to your own situation.

Answer 4

I pondered that same question when I was in your shoes. But, I stayed in (for 22 years) and I am glad I did, now. 20 years seems like a long time, but is only about 25% of your life, and you can draw a pension after 40 years of age, for the rest of your life. The media makes a lot of news about casualties, but if you look at the statistics, only a small percentage end up on those lists. And yes, I was in Vietnam for a full tour - and in an Infantry Division.

Answer 5

it can be both answears because in the military you get free housing free schooling,free food almost everthing is free in the military,now the bad part is you get no freedom as soon as you sign those papers to get in you are theres for 4 years no matter what and if you do something wrong you're chagre with a fedearl crime like if you where out here you would only be charged with what you did.

Answer 6

It depends why you want to leave? How can you get out unless you are let go on bad terms anyways? That would be on you record forever! Dishonorable discharge? I suggest you stay and reek what benefits you do have such as free education. Consider yourself lucky and strong that you've come thus far.

Answer 7

If you want out then get out. It doesn't matter what anyone tells you. It is your life to live (and continue living as long as you can or want) and no one can decide that for you. A lot of people might tell you it's dishonorable. Most of those people are sitting here on their asses drinking mocha lattes. You do what you feel is in your best interest.

Answer 8

well if u want to be unemployed then get out of the military because jobs are scarce but u might have a higher education and u might not have a problem. I guess it is up to you and what u want to do with your life.

Answer 9

It's a good thing you don't want to be in the military when bush leaves office you will be fighting a fight that he started and will be absent from.

Answer 10

both it depends bcus if your in the military then your helping the whole country and your saving us but if you dont want to be there and you dnt belong then you shouldnt if you have no idea what your going to get in to and if your not ready to risk you life for the country you should get out of it.

Answer 11
