What are good reasons to stay in the military?
What are some good reasons to stay in the military or to get out of the military?
What is your experience with people who have stayed in versus those who have gotten out?What are good reasons to stay in the military?I'm Retired Military, and my siblings are still serving, so the PLUSES for staying in:
1. The Pay/Benefits. This was reason enough -- when I was on Active Duty -- I knew I would serve the full career -- and made sure that I did so (because I did end up a single parent)
2. The Medical/Dental/Health Care. While I served, I did get injured, and another of my sibling was also injured. The Medical/Health Care is excellent -- and I consider myself blessed to have this care available to me. Also, with two disabled children (now adults and living independently) -- I am glad I had this benefit, because finding health/medical insurance for disabled children is impossible.
3. The opportunities to Advance, the Continuing Education, the Educational Opportunities. I did go up the ranks, took advantage of continuing education, and achieved my Graduate Degrees while on Active Duty.
4. The fact that you get an opportunity to change location and get trained/cross-trained, and re-trained. I liked the challenge of new areas to explore, new skills to learn, new opportunities to prove my skills and abilities, and this is something that I enjoyed worldwide.
For me, the opportunities outweighed some minuses -- like I did have a supervisor that was arrogant and abusive (but that occurs in civilian life -- and I knew that I could outlast this because tours were not that long), and the Separations (which were hard after I had children -- and as a single parent -- but for me, this occurred late in my career because I married late in the career, and divorced after a short marriage).
All in all, I am glad I served -- and I protect my EARNED Military Retirement Benefits -- Proud of the service, happy to have experienced so much of the world (even the bad places), and glad I got the opportunity to spread my wings well beyond the city I was born in -- to know the world and many peoples and to be able to say -- YES -- I WAS THERE and saw it, took the photo, and came back home to tell the story.What are good reasons to stay in the military?
Very tough question Torn. Let me start by telling you I've put in 8 years so far. Without knowing how long you've been in, or which branch you currently serve, I'll give you some points just to think about.
1. Pay - Ok, it's not much...but it's steady. It takes quite a bit to get fired. ;-)
2. Medical/Dental - Take a look in the "real world" one time, ask some friends out there. The costs are amazingly high. Granted, our medical may not be the greatest...but for free, well...
3. College - Tuition Assistance and GI Bill. If you haven't gone to college to get your degree, I'd recommend doing so before seriously considering separation. Decent jobs today are harder and harder to come by without that nifty little paper to tell people how smart you are. Experience in your field doesn't fly as far as it used to.
I do a lot of Career Counseling in my job, however, I never tell a person whether to stay or go. What I do advise though, is that you look at all your options, make sure you are truly set to leave the service, then make your decision. Too many people leave without planning, and fall on their faces. I've a few friends in the recruiting posts that all tell me their biggest numbers come from returnee's who had no idea what it was like in the so called "real world". Good luck, whatever you decide!What are good reasons to stay in the military?i retired from the navy and i'll tell you straight. reasons for staying you do not get laid off in the mil;itary. you got good medical care, you got a regular payday and if you live on base you get good food. i know they mess it up sometimes buts it started out good.i always had good working conditions,guess it depends on which branch you're in. you got medical coverage when you retire and this is very important and you get a good retirment. you have an opurtinuty to save money and you can get a good education while in the military. they have lots of good things if you will take advantage of them. now the bad things about it.if you get a bad boss you stuck with him. you're in grave danger during time of war. and you are required to be seperated from your family for long periods of time. i'm happy i retired but i would not want to do it again now%26gt; if you plan to work after you retire do not do 30 years because you will be too old to get a job that will pay you anything. i went to school and became a tool and die maker because i retired after 22 years.
depends if you over 10 years i would stay in just stick it out for your retirement pay.
Under 10 years you can find a job that pays you more then the army pays(it depends of course on your MOS).What are good reasons to stay in the military?The uniform is a Chick Magnet!!What are good reasons to stay in the military?
The good reason's are: three squares a day, free uniforms, hazard pay in the war zone, free medical, shipping over bonuses, free transportation to foreign lands, free garbage pick up, free utilities, and a paycheck on top of all that.
I've known many lifers, and for the most part they are happy they stayed in. Those first twenty years can go mighty fast, but when you're done with that you still have lots of time to build an after service career. By the time you're ready to retire, you will have your service pension, social security, and possibly a civilian pension plan. This combination would make for a real comfortable retirement.
If you are able to stay in for thirty years, the pot is even sweeter. Some folks do fully retire after thirty, while others go on to a civilian career and soon qualify for social security. This too, is a good way to plan for a comfortable retirement.
1. Love of your country.
2. Pay/Benefits.
3. Job security.
Most people we know who have gotten out have regretted the decison.What are good reasons to stay in the military?
if you wanna be a loser stay in us mil.........otherwise get out or join any other country military
I told myself every enlistment that I was gonna get out, two combat tours 3 overseas tours and numerous stateside duties later, (21 years) I retired. And the reasons for staying far outway most choices unless you have education goals you would like to meet. Or a job lined up with a fortune 500 company with a six figure salary. I loved every minute of my service, wouldn't change a thing, It had its ups and downs but now that I retired, I'd do it all again if i woke up and found myself 19 again tomorrow.

How does college through the military work?
Do you have to go to the military first and then after to college, or can you go to college first?How does college through the military work?Depends on which program you are using. With ROTC, there are 2, 3 and 4-year scholarships available to help pay the costs of a college education. Afterward, you are eligible to receive a commission to serve as an Officer for so many years of service.
It is more common for people to enlist, serve out there enlistment, and then use the education benefits earned to pay for college. Also, many are able to take one or two college courses toward their degree while serving out their enlisted service obligation (4 years active, 4 years reserve is the standard commitment).
Or you could go Reserves, though the education benefits aren't quite as comprehensive as what you would have earned through active duty.How does college through the military work?The NG has a college first program you can look into.
You can use your TA while you serve but can't use your Gi Bill right away.
You can always go to college first and come in has an officer and have the military pay off some of your loans.
Many options to consider do some research.How does college through the military work?you can go while you are serving. but you hafta have an MOS that will be able to give you the time off that you need for school. which is rare. otherwise you can use your GI Bill when you get out of the military.How does college through the military work?
This is asked about a dozen times a day. It has been asked at least three times since this morning already.
Why don't you search for a question before asking one?

What is more important for a country their military or economy?
In my opinion military. A nation could have a ton of riches but if they don't have a military another nation can just come in and take it all.What is more important for a country their military or economy?You could probably make it by with either as long as you played your cards right. For instance, there have been societies who have had a weak military but have a strong economic structure and societies that started with very little more than a strong military and carved out a place for themselves.
Generally, it's hard to have an operating military without the economy and vice a versa.
It seems to me that a nation that is purely military-based would used that military to build a stronger economy (This was one of the goals the Nazi's used as propaganda in WW2)
Societies that are purely military based usually have to build up a strong economy at some point in time, lest they run out of ways to fund their assaults. Eventually they'd have to have something to pay the costs of war with or they'd run themselves into the ground.
Societies with weaker armed forces survive by not stepping on the toes of the bigger guys and trading with everyone (Historically: the Dutch, Swiss and Italian States)
Usually however, these nations don't make the decisions on a global scale and the second they get in the way of a stronger power the only hope they have is for their allies to help them out or else they have to give up whatever economic dominion they own.
Generally, the goal is to use your strengths to build up your weaknesses and become the "jack of all trades." That's generally how most world powers attain that status.
To sum things up: It's hard to support a strong military without a strong economy. But it's hard to have a strong economy when you're constantly at war (using up the military).
I think in that sense, having something to offer economically may be more important - so long as you have friends in high places (and there have been cases throughout history of a strong economic power and a strong military power working together to build up one-another.)What is more important for a country their military or economy?
I'd say economy. If the people are starving in the streets, what is there to defend?
Besides, armies don't pay for themselves.What is more important for a country their military or economy?The military depends on the economy.
One supports the other. Without a military another country can take you over. Without an economy there isn't much for a military to fight for.What is more important for a country their military or economy?Economy.
With out a resourceful economy we couldn't have a strong national defense.What is more important for a country their military or economy?
You can not have an effective military with no economy behind it. We could not afford the guns, the personnel, the machines, the electronics, the food, the clothing, the boots, the training, the medicine, and more.
Without an economy you cannot have a military.What is more important for a country their military or economy?
Economy. The Military, and every other service that is monopolized with coerced payments, are unimportant.
If something is necessary, people will pay for it voluntarily.
They go hand in hand. A strong economy and weak military makes you a target for outside aggression, a strong military and no economy puts a huge burden on the finances and makes you an impoverished nation.
The United States spends more on the military than any other country in the world. Without an economy how do you plan on paying that?
Bush's military budget was 495 BILLION for 2008.
Two bombers crashed last year one was $1.4 BILLION the other was 283 MILLION. I don't think bake sales and tax breaks will generate that kind of cash.
But what do I know? I'm just a finance guy.
On the liberal front how many checkups could $1.683 BILLION get? Currently the scrap value of metal is about 20 cents a pound. Out of curiosity what do those bombers weigh?

What kind of dogs are taken into the military for duty?
My father said a military man took my doberman in and was planning to train him to take to iraq.
For some reason I smell bullshit to high heaven. What I think my father really did was put my dobie down.
So to confirm this, does the military accept dogs like dobermans? Or is it only german shepards?What kind of dogs are taken into the military for duty?Dogs aren't taken in to train from random sources. The dogs are purchased from select breeders who specifically breed for this type of work. The early (as in WWII) war dog programs took in privately owned dogs to train but those times are long past. The most common breed is Mals along with GSD, but other breeds are used depending on the work. While Dobermans were used heavily in the past (look at some of the books and other documentation on the early war dog programs) they are not typically used as sadly most are now too weak nerved or too low drive for this type of work and those that are suitable are going to cost more than the military is going to pay.
So to answer what I'm guessing your basic question is no your father did not take your dog it for training. What he really did with him only he knows.What kind of dogs are taken into the military for duty?Military Working Dogs are trained from puppies to be either Bomb sniffing or Drug sniffing dogs. Primarily they will be German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and the like. Although certain other breeds like labs and beagles have been used in small numbers. Never once heard of the US military using Dobermans ever. Also we breed our own, we don't go buy them from private owners.What kind of dogs are taken into the military for duty?My husband works with all labs.
