Well people say that the Army is bad because they are doing away witha lot of the benefits that even make it worthwhile and also the retirement is gone. It's all 401k now. And based upon the work that you put into it, it doesn't even equal what you get out in the end. And the army only takes up the worst places. The navy gets all the cool places like Spain, florida, Australia... etc. I was thinking of switching branches but I think after my 8 years is up, I'm just going to get out and be free to do whatever I want. And it's ok to be random. Random is welcome ^^
Please don't join the Army tho. Any other branch is better, thinking of your future and quality of life, Air Force and Navy are best. Traveling is ok. I went to Korea for 2 years when I joined, deployed to Afghanistan for a year and now I'm in Germany for 3 years. It's not bad, especially if you don't have kids or anything.
