if i joined to the army.my life is feel better?

Answer 1

Maybe, hard to say. Our neighbor joined the Navy while in high school and went to boot camp directly after graduating. She made the decision herself. She floundered in high school, had trouble concentrating and keeping up with classes, was having problems with her parents, and was kinda unstructured in her thinking and ambition. She did not want to go to college and felt she needed the structure and purpose that the Navy offered. It was both a difficult and exhilarating experience. She did stints in Florida, Guatanamo, and a 7-month shipboard tour in Iraq. She left the Navy after 8 years and is now going to college. She is focused on a professional career, gets along well with her parents, seems more self-confident.

She said that while she doesn't regret her time in the Navy and thinks it kept her out of trouble (which friends of hers are now in), it wasn't what she was led to believe it would be. When she was recruited, she was promised specialized computer training, but didn't receive any. As an inducement to re-enlist after the first four years, she was again promised the specialized training, but didn't receive any. Because she was at the bottom of the rung (high school grad only and enlisted), she mainly did guard duty, clean up duty, and cleaning out offices duty the whole 8 years. She said it was all very tedious. On top of that, the pride she felt being in the Navy dissipated because she felt mistreated and disrespected because of her low status. She said many of the other enlisted drank heavily off-duty. The pay was lousy.

So, what to make of all of this? Well, it wasn't what was promised nor advertised, it was mainly tedious guard/cleaning duty, the conditions were sometimes very uncomfortable, and she was upset a lot. On the other hand, she got her act together, got motivated to get her AA degree doing online courses and is now in college, traveled a bit (but didn't see much), had 30 days of vacation every year, is a crack shot with an M16 and a revolver, earned a nice college tuition bonus, and has 8 years federal service. If she takes another job with the federal government, those 8 years count toward benefits.

So, will you feel better if you join the Army? Maybe, maybe not. Honestly assess yourself and your reasons for joining, and then decide if it's for you.

Answer 2

There are benefits and drawbacks of joining the army. You will go through rigirous physical and mental training, which is hard but will make you a better person. It also forces you to learn teamwork, leadership and to do some things you do not want to do. You can make lifelong friends here.

Plus, you are serving your country, and you get to travel. You will be tested and then trained in an area the Army sees where you would be of the most benefit for them. The pay is pretty low, but if you don't blow it on booze and bars you can have a substantial savings when you get out.

It's a good opportunity for young men and women who don't want to go to school right now and would like to get out and travel. In some cases. the Army will send you to colloege, and pay for it. And if you end up in combat, there should be some educational benefits available to you when you get out.

There are several careers where service time holds a lot of clout. Law Enforcement is one of them. Law Enforcement agencies love to hire ex-military, because they conform to the para-military structure of all law enforcement organizations, without complaint, because they are in good physical shape and because they completed a patriotic committment.

The Army is trying now to teach skills that are valuable for getting good jobs once you are out of the Army.

Answer 3

Having spent 8 years in the Army I can attest that I matured and learned a lot. It was an experience I would never forget and am glad I did it, yes it is a difficult job but well wroth it. I would say go for it.

Answer 4

When you join the armed forces, you will feel good, but the hardest part is training when you have to go through physical endurance. But for some people, its worth it.

Answer 5

The army strips you of your identity and your choices. Some people love that, they never have to make a decision ever again. Just to as you're told and the army will clothe you, feed you, and home you.

If you want that, great.
