Reasons for joining the military?

P G

Training
Discipline
College Money
Patriotism
Travel
Real-world skills like management and the development of a work ethic and responsibility
They let you shoot guns

I think the patriotism point would encompass protecting your country. This "soldier boy" is a career non-commissioned officer with 16 years experience. Actually, Bush has relatives in the military, know of what you speak

To gain discipline, self respect, team work, getting college tuition paid for, and also the pride and joy of serving ones country.

what soldier boy forgot to add was to protect your country....we joined up right after 9/11 for that reason....and so many have done the same...after the first tour to iraq in jan 03...so many men and women reenlisted.....

There is only one reason that anyone should join the military and that is: To serve your country.

It is a privilege and an honor to serve. If you're joining for any other reason, its the wrong reason.

However, other benefits include:
education
guaranteed job
medical
retirement after only 20 years
get to see the world
free training

You do get quite a bit of money out of it.

However, if you had a staffing officer talk to you and try to convince you to enlist, he/she might have been bull-scheisse-ing you a little bit. (They get paid commission for everyone they get to enlist.) I recently spoke with a Marines sergeant and told him to be honest with me; and he said chances of being deployed to the Middle East at this point are very high.
