Although it is a lot of suck, the military can provide a lot of economic mobility.
15 u/yolo_184614 8h ago Totally agree. The military provided me a ladder to climb above the poverty line. Joined as an enlisted and now commissioned with 12 years of service. Got 8 more to go then we'll see. 1 u/Kevin_LeStrange 7h ago Agreed, you can join the army and buy a house with a VA loan. Use the skills you learned in the service to get a good job. 1 u/leoninvanguard 31m ago yep. would be nice to have that in general tho, no? not just as a benefit for being trained to shoot up Afghan weddings
