ARMY PROS & CONS *MUST WATCH BEFORE JOINING* 2021

Should you join the military? There are many Pros and Cons to the military, Army specifically that are important to know before making the big decision in enlisting in the U.S Army or any other military branch in the United States. In today's video, I give four pros and four cons to joining the United States military and the United States Army. There are some really good benefits, but also maybe some bad cons! Army basic training isn't the end of the hard side of the military!

    Was 18, parents split up, had a crappy seasonal minimum wage job that was coming to an end, was almost homeless, wanted to go to college but was broke. Joined the army and got an intelligence MOS. Best thing that happened. Opened a lot of doors after I got out and gave me college money. Looked great on my resume. I really loved my job. Got to travel and live in some great and not so great places. Lots of camaraderie and friendships and experiences. Everything paid for. Job security. And in retrospect, if I had stayed in and done my 20 years, I could have gotten a retirement the age of 38. Pretty darn nice.

    Great video, I retired from the AF after 23 years. The military is great for young people to bid some time until they figure out what they want to do. Like he said you get paid training and experience while you're deciding what to do. Remember this, someone will always tell you what to do and when to do it. Even if you start your own business your customers will tell you what to do and when to do it. The military like all large operation has many rules and regulations that seem dumb, don't let that bother you stay focused on YOUR future.

    @@tonyclayton585 you should probably finish out your college because if you join the military, especially on active duty, you would have less time to do so. I would imagine that unless you get a good job at a good unit, you would have even less time for yourself to even do online courses in the army especially because you would be going to the field for weeks at a time and even doing things like long formations and PT (not to mention long ruck marches) and time in the motorpool would make your days longer. Unless you are much older, I would say wait it out till you are done with your college work, especially if you aren't even in your mid twenties yet.

    Honestly the short time I was in the navy it changed me for the better. In the end I joined for the wrong reasons and that's why I got out pretty quickly. But one thing is for sure. I can always say I became a sailor I got through boot camp. Which was rough for me. Those that are joining or thinking about joining the military. Join for the right reasons don't rush into it neither. I got lucky they let me just get out without it really effecting my civilian life. A lot of others weren't or aren't so lucky.

    awesome. but consider all of the military, and not just the army. also keep in mind that unless you get a good job with a good unit in the army, you might have less time (if active duty) for your hobbies, since lots of people in the army spend time out in the woods for weeks at a time plus we have morning formations that make our days longer. lots of people in the air force (unless they have jobs like maintainers or mechanics) would have more time for themselves than so many people in the army do.

I’m excited to gain the experience that I want in the army and feel like I’m set for the future. And honestly, the cons feel more like “emotional” cons; that’s just a new adjustment to someone’s mentality. Nice video, makes me feel a little less nervous 🙂

Honestly, I want to know more about my risks, reasons I shouldn’t go in, what’s gonna make me want to quit, how am I going to feel about myself in the corps, or even after - a long time after? I know all these answers can’t be answered. I also know your post is more than sincere, while I need a more real world, transient approach to service and life within current day battle and war.

    I don’t know what to do with my life and i’m scared. I don’t want to go to college at least not fresh out of high school but i also know i’ll struggle financially either way. I’m starting to think that the military will give me the time i need to figure out what i want to do and maybe find a purpose. Becoming an adult not knowing what you want to do with your life is scary so that’s what’s making me consider this.

Me personally I value my autonomy too much.

I'm in the RCAC and have had many opportunities to even just ask CAF members random questions about the Army. Aswell as learn drill, marksmanship and an idea of ranks, respect and selflessness.
