The military is great for people who don't have a lot of economic options in their hometowns. I've been told, " The only job in town was the mine/farm/factory and they weren't hiring." when asking guys why they joined.


You can use the skills and knowledge you learn while serving to give you that leg up but....... You have to utilize it, which a lot of people don't do causing them to end up in the same shitty situation they were in before they enlisted.
