Joining the military has numerous benefits to it. The source I am using is Military.com. This is reliable because the articles give you real information about what you should know about the military. A reason many people join the military is the amount of benefits they will receive.
One benefit to joining the military is that if you go in as an enlisted member, your pay will increase the longer you stay in as you advance in rank. This is especially good if you wish to make a career out of your service. Because of higher pay, this will cause more people to stay in the service. This will also help keep our military strong because of the amount of service members. “If you decide to make the military your career, you will be eligible for retirement pay, including continued health benefits and on-base shopping privileges similar to those you enjoyed while on duty”. This is another strong factor people might consider when signing up.
Another benefit to joining the military is the health benefit. “As an active duty service member, you are eligible for $50,000 to $400,000 in life insurance coverage at a cost ranging up to $29.00 a month”. This can become extremely helpful because you never know what kind of injury you might encounter while on or off duty.
Compared to civilian jobs, you are given much more vacation time while being in the military. “Unlike any other job you will find, the U.S. Armed Forces offer their members 30 Days of fully paid vacation (leave) each year, starting the first year of your enlistment”. This is extremely helpful for those who have significant others, and or have children at home. This allows for an extended period of time to be spent with your family.
