I was in the Air Force and I donā??t regret one single day. I got to travel my ass off. I got 30 days vacation a year. I got excellent medical coverage. I got top notch training. I got to meet some of the greatest people in the world that I never would have met otherwise. I had my wisdom teeth removed free. I had a baby for freeā?¦. And most importantly I got to serve my country. And when I got out they gave me $1000.00 dollars a month just to go to school.

And in the States a typical enlistment is 4 years active duty (actively serving) and 4 years inactive duty (eligible for recall.) Usually at the end of your 4 years active service you are given the option to reenlist (usually with a handsome cash bonus/ the more money they have invested in a soldier the bigger the bonus)
likemclever Reviewed by likemclever on . The Army What do people here think of the army? Has anyone been in the army before of thinking about joining. I personally couldn't see what anyone would want to (in the UK) because you have to go for at least quite a long amount of time at least 20 something years its just like another version of prison but worse.
