what do you do in the army?

Answer 1

Basically you work and do whatever the people above you tell you to do. My husband is in the guard and spent 12 months in Iraq. It definitely has it's perks with the benefits but it's not just a free ride. You have to be committed to your job and to serving the time for your country. It is one of the most honorable things that a person could do for the the US. God Bless all the troops that serve!

Answer 2

Just about anything. The Army is roughly split into three groups, combat, combat support, and combat service support.
Combat is just that. Kill people and break things. Some soldiers do this by using mulit-million dollar attack helocopters and Hellfire missiles. Some do it with computerized cannon. Some use M-1 tanks that have armor thicker than some World War 2 warships had. Others do it the old fashoned way, with grenades and guns. This includes snipers, Rangers and Special Forces.

Combat support are the people that directly support the combat troops. They include Signal, who run the communications and computers, Military Police, and Military Intelligence.

Combat Service Support do pretty much civlilain type jobs, only they wear a uniform and pass a PT test while doing it. These folks are the lawyers (JAG) medical, administrative types, the band, etc. There are less of these jobs than there used to be because these jobs can easily be filled by contractors, and the Army feels that soldiers are more useful doing combat and combat support duties rather than running mess halls or finance operations.

Not everyone has what it takes for every job. Very few folks make it to Ranger school, and even less make it through. It is mostly about endurance. If you can go without sleep for several days you can probably make it. Military Intelligence is probably the hardest branch to get into as you have to be both very smart and pass a security background check. Special Forces have to have the strengths of both M.I. and Rangers, and they normally have to know a couple of extra languages and they MUST be very good with people and great teachers too. Mostly it depends on if the Army needs someone in that particular job at the right time. Basicly you can do anything you want, IF you have the qualifications and they need someone to do it.

Answer 3

The same thing that all the other branches of the military do.

I, do solemnly swear, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
