i loved the military every inch of it. It allowed me to push my limits and learn various different skills, which allow me to really understand what i am capable of doing.
Hard training. 30 days payed vacation. No sick time. There are lots of classes soldiers can sign up for. Depending on your MOS(Job 11B Infantry) you have greater chances for promotion.
The US Army is a stressful, but great career for most individuals. Culture and management depends entirely on where you are stationed and what unit you are assigned to. However the culture and leadership in my company was fantastic.
Very difficult to manage work and family. High divorce rate. Always in the field but only sometimes. You get high enough in the rank system you will have more down time
I was a soldier. Trained to defend the United States of America, Protect the American Flag and die for my country if required. This job taught me discilpine and help me gain the skills to work with others that I would not have chosen. These lessons have stayed with me till this day. God Bless America!
I enjoyed the Army as a single soldier, I learned so many skills and experienced alot of what the world has to offer. I also gained a very strong work ethic and sense of purpose. Days are long, pay is good and secure. The hardest part of my job was maintaing military bearing. Being human, pride is a hard thing to over come. So there was alot of biting of the tongue and a couple of times when I wished I did. But other then that the Army is great way to experience the work force and really build a character in you and bring out the best or the worse in you. Leadership is hit and miss. Some will stick there neck out for you others will step on yours.

Squad Leader (Ehemaliger Mitarbeiter) – Germany – 15. April 2015
BEAT NAVY! The US has the best armed forces in the world. It wouldn't be a bad thing to mandate that everyone serve our great country for at least a year.
It's everything you think it is. Early mornings, long days, no lunches and if your lucky when you do get home you might have dinner. Life was okay, I traveled all over the world and had some great experiences.
Rose to the ranks of Sergeant where I was a maintenance sergeant for 24 AH-64D's. Ensured all maintenance was completed safely and efficiently. Maintained the Armament, Avionics, and Electrical components of the AH-64D

A typical day will begin with first formation at 06:30, we salute the flag,followed immediately with physical training until 07:30. One hour and twenty minutes is given for personal hygiene and sustenance intake, and work begins between 08:50 and 09:00. Lunch is from 12:00 to 12:50, and work begins again. A close of business (COB) formation is held at 17:00, we salute the flag for the second time, and we are released. During work hours you are challenged from every echelon of leadership in your chain of command, and from the soldiers below you with there own issues you as the leader must help solve. It takes all kinds to make up an Army, but it takes all of the very few who can, to lead it day to day.
