while I search for the dream 5-9 job that is supposed to be the source of my financial income. I find myself leaning more towards joint our military service. Finding a job in this economy isn't all that easy, and the military isn't all that easy. Well correction the hardest part is boot camp where they break you apart to mold you into something more sturdy. Yet I wonder is it worth it in the end to belong to the US government? Or to fight finding that 5-9 job.

Just stop. You know you're not going to the military.

Trust me, I learned from some good friends in the Army, if you're not there for the right reasons you're not gna last.

Cuz in the end if the day "benefits" aren't motivation enough to drag yourself through a trench full of mud or have someone yelling in your face for hours

Crawling in the mud is no worry being yelled at has already been done. Every male and one female on my dad side is retired military. So I know the pain. I just question is that any harder than working for someone in the normal world?

Dang if you got good connections that's a great head start. But na military benefits only go so far. The greatest benefit would be having your schooling paid for.

Other than that, after you're done with your service you're back to square 1 except you can put on your resume you've served your country.

A 5-9 job is a dream lol. You gotta have a great education and work for a good company.
Best of luck to you though!!!

I'm joining the military to be an infantry. Battlefield 3 and COD inspired me.

Im a Cross Country runner, so dirty and stay is normal for me, but that's the part I wonder about most, take commands for our government or become the commander of my own company?

My brother was in the Army for 6 years and did 3 tours, 2 in Iraq, 1 in Afghanistan.
He said it was the most fun, but most horrible time of his life.
He lost a lot of friends but made more money than he's ever made in civilian life.
Just sayin the military does pay off, only if your willing to deal with what you will have to face
