If you play it smart the military is one of the best things for you if you choose that option. I got my degree while I was in and they paid 75% and now they pay 100% while you are still active duty, and you still get your GI Bill when you come out. Use your Gi bill for like Mechanic schools or your masters things like that. One of the main things is you have to go in mainly debt free because your going to suffer for the 1st couple of years till you pick up rank. And definately do not get married in your 1st 2 to 3 yrs of the military because you just dont make enough. And do not take your wife to live with you at NC Camp Lejuene if you value your relationship. And make sure you quickly do all your educational requirements right away so you can get promoted faster. There called MCI's. I was a Sgt/E5 in 3 yrs when most marines barely make Cpl/E4 in 4 yrs. All because I was tired of getting ***** on by dumb NCO's (Cpl/Sgt) lol. I recommend this for anyone going into any military branch. Its alot of fun and you will gain knowledge you will use forever, and friends for life. Have fun and if anyone has any questions feel free to PM Me. I was pretty much based accross all over the US and Over seas.
