Brian’s Answer

On active duty military personnel receive free medical and dental. They also have the privilege of buying nearly all of their needs, groceries, clothes, electronics, at a Base Exchange anywhere in the world at fairly low prices and no tax. If you're single you have the choice to live on base for free or living off base. If you live off base you're paid extra money to help toward rent.

John’s Answer

The military will feed, clothe and take care of you medically in exchange for working for them. That being said you will also be able to have life insurance, educational benefits, preference for employment when you leave the service for a government position, and the ability to call yourself a veteran which allows you more benefits once you leave the military. Many take advantage of college courses while in service and use them when they get out for a master's program or at least to cover some of the general education requirements all colleges have.

Many see the training they get in the military as a benefit. It's not only the education you have in your job but the life skills that so many don't learn. From showing up for work on time to not walking off with office supplies, I have been amazed at what I have witnessed since leaving the military.
