Because the army pays for accomodation, recreation, and it pays very, very well. Also, you don't need an qualifications.


Some people also join the army because they're split between that and going to jail.

Better level of care and higher living standards. Everything is better, the houses are nicer, the bases are nicer. You're not shot at as much.

Compare living standards on a Navy Base or Army Fort to the living standards on an Air Force base and you'll see what is better.

As long as you meet all the current enlistment requirements, the greatest advantage with the Army is that you get to choose your own Job (based on YOUR ASVAB scores and what's currently available), your term of service (years in you contract) and the biggest being the feeling of being apart of something bigger.

Some additional benefits include:

· Free Medical/Dental for the soldier ($37.22 a month for the entire family's full coverage with no deductible, prescription fee's or medical cost's)

· Free Room and Board to include utilities (single soldier's dorm style living rent free, ----Married Soldiers receive a monthly Housing Allowance on average $1,100.00 a month)

· Free Meals (single soldiers eat 3 free meals a day 7 days a week at the Army's Dinning Facility, Married Soldiers receive Food Allowance of $323.87 a month)

· Guaranteed Training in the Job that YOU choose based on ASVAB Score

· Possibility of Bonus (Based on ASVAB score of a 50 or higher and bonuses are offered for each job, not all jobs offer a bonus)

· Guaranteed paycheck on the 1st and 15th paid through a Direct Deposit

· Guaranteed Job stability (for the term of you enlistment within you contract)

· College education benefits (i.e. Montgomery GI Bill up to $47,556.00, Army College Fund up to $81,756.00 and the Tuition Assistance of $4,500.00 a year for each year of service)

If this sounds like an opportunity you would be interested in learning more about, please call or email a local recruiter to set up a time and date where you can get together to further discuss what opportunities the Army or Army Reserves have to offer you. Please keep in mind that you have no obligation to the U.S. Army or U.S. Army Reserves by receiving information or by sitting down to discuss your options. As well please feel free to have someone accompany you (whose opinion you value) when you talk to a recruiter, it makes things much easier to understand and allows you the opportunity to receive guidance on the spot.

Of course, the benefits of joining the U.S. Army go beyond just the monetary. In addition to becoming a stronger individual as you gain new training, you'll also feel a sense of accomplishment, experience true camaraderie and teamwork, and develop discipline and leadership skills that today's employers value.
