Would you rather be in the military or in college?

Armygirl

You can do college on line in the military and they pay for it. An 18 year old in the military(me) has the advantage of everything the military has to offer and go to school. Its a great way to go.(armygirl2675@yahoo)

I would go to college first then the military. Simply because of better job offers in the military after a college education. (you are an officer if you have a degree)

Then again if you cant afford college, but want to go, you can join the military as an enlisted person. You would be able to eventually fund enough money to go to college.

I was in the military for 5 yrs, and now I'm back in the US continuing my education.

I'd rather not get shot.

Especially for something stupid that some rich, texas oilman president (who shall remain nameless) illegal and unjustly got the US involved in.

college, military is def. not for me

Cimon

Irrelevant because you can be in both no matter the sequence...

Mommy and Daddy will pay all his bills and he can complain how bad the military is with the rest of those who want to enjoy the Freedoms he has but wouldn't fight for those freedoms if needed.

i would rather be in the military. because military has free college,you earn while you learn.both mentally and financially. plus you got a chance to travel, G.I. bill if you decided to get out of the service is available too. "What advantages does an 18 year old college student have over an 18 year old in the military?" my answer, not a bit

in college they are not forced to ever have to go to battle and possibly get killed. Also they receive a higher education in college and are able to improve their chances of having a stable career.So i would choose college!!

AN 18 YR OLD HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF AN EDUCATION BY GOING TO COLLEGE, AS APPOSED TO A LIFE FIGHTING
FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND POSSIBLY LOSING THEIR LIFE.

College, because I love being in school.

Military would be an experience...but it's not for me.

starting over

Oh stop already with the 18 year old in the military will be shot.

If you go in the military you are encouraged to get an education, my son is in the Navy and has 13 college credits in about 6 months.

Before he left, 2 of his friends died in a car crash.

AN 18 year old kid in college will probably drop out and either the kid or the parents will have paid a lot of money for nothing or there will be college loans.

My son will have the GI Bill waiting when he gets out. He will also be more mature and if he plays his cards right will have an associates degree in criminal justice, he won't owe any money for school either.

Did I mention that is already has socked away money in a retirement plan, he has a 4 year head start on those kids in college.

If you were in the military in wwII or Korea or Viet Nam, you did have a real good chance to be shot and killed, but look at the numbers. Your odds are much better, and I am not saying that kids are not dying there, cause they are, but they are also dying at home at frat parties and in drunken driving accidents. My son who drank when he was at home, does not in the Navy cause he will lose pay if he gets caught.

Did I mention that if he decides to join the FBI, or become a state trooper, that as a vet, he gets preference.

Military. Im in college right now and I hate it. I work a little harder every day on my reenlistment package.

luknbill13

well im in the army and i still go to college so i think

if your just in college you might be lazy

ThePeskyWabbit

In the military...there is more honor taught in the military.

RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!!

Gabe

You can do both,,,,I recommend that you go to college first and go in as an officer as opposed to going into the military and getting the crap jobs and teaching the officers how to do their jobs.

toughguy2

I was proud to have served in the US Navy and don't regret my decision at all to serve my country.

pyro26jr

college. i much rather have degree than a bomb in my face

BOB S

Are yo crazy? Why would anyone in their right mind rather be over in mid east with those crazy people bombing and killing? It makes no sense. Nothing is worth your life like that. Maybe if no wars was goin on.

Galen

You don't get shot at.

Raymond C

Many of the young men (and women) getting shot at in Iraq and Afghanistan joined the military for the educational benefits. They want to go to college, but could not afford it. The military promises training and the GI Bill for college. Good luck to all who join for those benefits making it back out to use them.

BTW, I graduated from college before enlisting in the army. I did not go in as an officer because that was not the challenge I was looking for. When all is said and done, I preferred college.

collie_brawny

I've been in both and I'd say it's good to experience the military, but I prefer to be in college, learning what I really want.

KEEPEROFTHEGATE

a slight chance at living longer..

Firstly, chances are an 18 year old college student will live to be a 19 year old college student, and so on. Can't say the same for an 18 year old in the military. Also, people are encourage to go to college in order to better themselves. What would be the justification in encouraging youth to join virtual killing groups? How enriching!

Dennis

i want to go well i am going when i am at the right age to the military
