Your education benefits are also good The Montgomery GI bill starting at $48,000 and up to $87,000, also we get $4,500 every year to use for college, with college costs on the rise new and old students looking for a hand in education should take the military into consideration and not look at it as a last option.

Svantaggi
Deployments, being away from the family, the difference in pay between Sergeants and officers is entirely too big. Some Sergeants now days have higher education degrees than some officers, but yet the officers are getting the biggest paycheck to put their signatures on papers. (really that's it)
