Do you have any positions in mind?
I ride with an army guy. He did two tours in afgan, hes behind a desk now. Hes also not enjoying the pay cut or whatever that crap is all about. Last edited by Rangerscott; 06-22-2011 at 11:57 PM.. |

There are one or two of us here in the Army, I think I'm the senior Army guy, but Jason is an Airforce officer and might be able to give you some other insights. I'll PM you my number.
generally its pretty straight forward, part or all of your student loan obligations based on your commitment (3-6 yr & reserve vs active), more if you do more years and more for active vs reserve. That is in addition to your pay, plus other monies and benefits. You need to be 30 yrs or less for active, 35 for reserve. If you are looking to go full time, starting pay is around 40k plus housing/or housing allowance. the general equivalent for a lieutenant is that their pay and benefits equal about 70k year, you also get medical for you and your family (kids). Plus a host of other benefits too. Call me if you have any questions.

My professional opinion, give a bunch of 18 year olds a bunch of cash, some freedom, treat them like adults and some local girls that want to get out of their podunk-hometown, who are willing to spread their legs for the first guy that comes along waving a ring.

engineer - building and blowing stuff up signal - computers, phones, satellites, radios, communication stuff trans - transportation logistics MP - you get to be a cop, and a dick cop too military intelligence - maps, intelligence, security clearance stuff aviation - fly helicopters I would stay away from these: finance - money blech, its all accounting adjudent general - crap, all human resource stuff most of the combat arms Since you have your degree in biology, you might want to look into veterinary corps, do work with animals. Also dont limit yourself to just Army, look into the Air force too, its harder to get in, but the standard of living is a little better too.

A buddy of mine builds bombs and missles somewhere in BFN Montana. He will never see combat unless we are invaded. Sounds like a cool gig.
Stay the hell away from aviation. Had a friend of a friend go down in one in afghanistan.

I'd go Air Force or Navy long before I'd go Army. Or talk to all 4 and see which one you get the best deal.
