The military is not a good last resort...Unless you are willing to lose alot of your freedoms for the next 5 years (they are rarely doing 4 year contracts for the GI bill now adays). They tell you when to wake up, what to wear, what and how to eat, everyone with a rank above yours will yell at you, berate you and you have to fill out paperwork for EVERYTHING. As a Navy brat and ex-Marine wife, I know its takes a strong character to make it. You have to know how to turn off ALL emotion, to go into robot stage, to work 12-16 hours without complaining. The reason the benefits are so good is because the lifestyle is HARD and you just can't quit if you don't like it or its the brig for you. BTW, the food, board and medical isn't free...they take it out of your paycheck. Beginning pay is only $800 per month and after 5 years you will only be making $18k a year, no over time, with minimum 12 hour days ( ... )
