Was the Army good for you? (People in military only please)?

I really think my boyfriend should inlist in the Army because I think it would be so good for him. People who are in the Army, are you glad you inlisted? Was it good for you? Did it change your perspective on things? Are there Army jobs where you can be based in the US? Do you think it would be good for a guy who hates school, it dropping out and getting his GED and trouble pretty much follows him even when he didn't do anything? I really want to help make him understand how good Army would be, but he says he wants to do college and I don't think he'll stick it out.

BTW, we have a daughter too...and I think Army would pay good to support her.
 
The Army is good to people who want to join, not those forced or pressured into joining. Also if he does join and is away from you for long periods of time, chances of him staying faithful to you are slim to none. That is something you need to both think about before making any rash decisionss. Yes, there are plenty of jobs stateside that you can get, but there is noguaranteee that he will get orders close to home. Plus he could end up overseas for a year or two and most likely will end up deploying to Iraq orAfghanistann. My advice to you both is to stay away from the military until you have a plan that will provide a good future for you, him, and your daughter.
 
A manager at McDonald's makes more than I do. :-| The money isn't the best.

You make what you want out of your career. I'm glad I enlisted, but don't force someone into somehting they don't wanna do.

You go overseas for 1 tour, then spend a tour stateside/vise-versa.

If he joins, you can't go with him, the Army only recognizes MARRIED couples, not bf/gf.
 
I don't think he would like it all that much, just for what you have said about him. Seem to me you should be the one to join. Let him babysit and you go kick some asss.
