At the military what benefits are there?

In the military, you will have a basic benefits package and in some specialty fields you may have additional benefits. You will get paid based on your rank, you will have full medical and dental coverage, retirement plan, first set of uniforms issued to you, the ability to participate in the GI Bill and will have access to VA benefits such as the VA home loan program after you complete a certain period of service. These are the basic benefits that all service members receive. If you are married, you may receive a housing allowance and if you are single, in general, you will live in a barracks (like a dormitory). Some job specialties will receive extra incentive pay or sign up bonuses.

There are many things to discuss and each situation is different, so the best thing to do is speak to your local recruiter to ask more specific questions.

Basically, as a single soldier you will have room and board, medical and dental as well as all your military travel paid for by the military. The downside is that you are paid a month at a time and your working 24/7. You will have times where you have 24 hour duties. The medical and dental can be rough but they will keep you alive. They also have Roth IRA's and a new retirement plan as well as educational benefits that you can pass on to your children (if you pass it along when they say it is okay to do it).
