i could yet maximum would not have the means to do my interest and secondly a week there are literally hundreds of jobs interior the paper that almost all people (who isn't clinically innovations-ineffective) can do. it is not troublesome to discover artwork. bathe, shave, placed on some deodorant and borrow or purchase some thing clever to placed on. Then word! it relatively is totally, very, fairly uncomplicated. -- edit - i've got lived in a rustic with a extreme unemployment fee and there are no longer any jobs interior the paper. have faith me, Britain would not have this subject. If the style of jobless exceeded the style of jobs attainable there could be no jobs interior the papers. Secondly, you won't have jap Europeans coming over right here and looking out jobs good off the bat. the adaptation, they artwork troublesome for what they choose and that they are keen. Jobless scroungers are no longer keen adequate - they have it way too basic on the dole. Sorry in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it relatively is the actuality. in the event that they decrease off the dole from those people, they could quickly be desirous to artwork - and that they could quickly have jobs.

Okay I was in also,
Free medical, well you get what you pay for. When I was in it took me 2 years of complaing, before my shoulder was actually looked at. Kept being told it was a sprain, but had actually torn my rotator cuff. 3 more years its still messed up.
Last I knew the SGLI was only good for 250000, but hey it might have gone up but you still have to pay, just like any other life insurance.
Yea travel, to far off beaches, (aka the desert).
BX and comesary tax free. Yes but unless over seas, there is no real difference. Walmart is just as cheap.
Yep 6 figure jobs outside of the military.
What about those awsome hours, no over time 12 hr days for no reason. Sitting around staring at eachother.
The same old Comander calls, dont drink and drive, use the buddy system, dont be dumb. Why did i have to go to that. It never helped someone always seemed to get a DUI, or hurt doin something dumb.
Oh yea dont forget about being a augmentee. That was fun 16 hr days guarding a wall, not a plane the plane was on the other side of this 20' plus wall.
But hey all jobs have there positives, but they also have there negatives. All in all them military did me good, did have some fun to.

Dental is free for the enlisted member, but it's just dental insurance for the rest of the family, we have to go off base and they pay a percentage depending on what you have done, but the rest seems pretty accurate. Oh, and let's not forget 100% tuition assistance AND the G.I. Bill. And I think you mean the Commissary.

Dental is NOT free for dependants.
Dependants MAY NOT use the GI Bill and do NOT get their education paid for by the military.
Most of the rest is mostly accurate, although there are restrictions and caveats.

How long have you been in the military? From reading this it sounds like you've been in about a year.
Now, make a list of the drawbacks.
Let us know how you're doing in 19 years.

Did you also make a list of the "BAD" points to compare them to? Or would you like me to do that for you?
Seems like most of your points are based on "money" If you make so much, why are you getting a raise every year?
