Opinions on going into the army?

June 5, 2017 7:03pm CST
i recently had a wild thought of joining the military, and i looked into each branch slightly. even though it is considered at the bottom of the chain, the army is really grabbing my attention. does anyone have any suggestions or input?

You only live once, choose the right choices and don't regret it, so it's up to you.

If you're in good shape and good health - go for it. You'll learn useful skills while serving your country.

I think it is the best plan. There is nothing wrong if we try it.

You have to think many times before joining and if it will make you happy and complete, why not?

I was in the Navy for six years. I recommend the service. However, I want to warn you up front, it is difficult for women. There is a lot of sexism. If you can handle that, then definitely give it a go. Good luck.

Go for it! In most cases if you hate it you can leave within a certain period during basic training! The best way to find out is to try it.

@kaylynnn Nice one! Be sure to let us know how you get on! It's always better to try something you fancy doing than regretting not doing it later!

Well I joined the Army in 1973, But only because it was easy and convenient to get in ! And I don't regret it, it provides the basic disciplines and training you need, but I found out later that the Air Force provides you with more technological training and schools than the Army, if you would be interested in that !
