What could I gain from joining the Army?

I would like a modern day Vet on this.

Don't join the army unless you don't mind your mental health.

a sense of accomplishment. great health and dental benefits for yourself and family (cant beat free)
pride in yourself when you discover that you are capable of things you never thought you were.
the chance to see different parts of the world. friendships that last a lifetime and a bond with them that makes them into family.

A good job, an education, a sense of doing something big with your life. Is it a safe life no, but that doesn't make it a bad way to live.

I'll tell you what I got as an Army Reservist:

- More confidence
- Excellent life experience
- A slew of new mates
- Something that looks "mad as" on my resume
- The most fun job. Ever.
- A mildly cynical outlook on life
- Money for drinks, gas and schoolbooks

If you're considering joining for any type of financial benefit, perhaps you ought to reconsider. But otherwise, it's an awesome gig to fix yourself up with

Self respect,pride,discipline for starters.
Free medical,dental.get 3 to 4 meals a day,30 days paid vacation/yr.,free mail order correspondence education courses that count towards college credits,money set aside for a college education after you are discharged from active duty,and you can join the guard or reserve if you want and still get paid.
If you should decide to put in 20 yrs.or so,you can retire and still be young enough to work a regular civilian job and start a second retirement fund before you turn 60.

There are a lot of positive things you can gain from joining the Army, as has been suggested by others here. The one thing you do have to think about seriously, though, is the possibility that you might get killed or maimed for life if you're sent into a combat zone. The wonderful TV commercials about the military never mention this part of the deal, but it's something worth thinking about.

Serving in the army involves hardship, sacrifice, and possible risk to health and life. Your freedom is reduced and you're a cog in the wheel of something bigger than yourself - following orders which you may not ultimately agree with.

On the upside - it will build your health and fitness. Provide some education (especially useful if you're not already well educated), possibly enable you to learn a trade and so on.
