Rough Economy Makes for the Perfect Time to Join the Army

Good job opportunities are dwindling across America, but one organization is still enthusiastically hiring – and we’re ready to offer you everything from education to job training to substantial payment.

As the economy continues to suffer, more and more civilians are turning to army careers, and that decision is looking smarter every day. It’s one of the best times in history to be a part of the U.S. army and the army reserve. Let us show you why.

Earn A Steady Paycheck. The Army is the only branch of the armed forces that takes full advantage of the maximum allowed bonus for the military — in addition to salaries that are usually far above equivalent civilian jobs.

With the economy taking a hard hit right now, isn’t the promise of a regular paycheck and a significant nest egg against the future highly appealing?

In a bad economy, the army offers much more than a civilian job:

• Up to $40,000 enlistment bonuses
• A compensation package worth $99,000, including health care, retirement pay, childcare, free or subsidized food, housing and education compensations
• Salaries exceeding their civilian equivalents across all army careers (salaries vary depending on rank, job and length of time served)

Invest in Your Future Career. Active-duty soldiers have few expenses that aren’t covered by their compensation. With smart investments and savings, they (and maybe you) can save enough money to make a serious head start on future entrepreneurial ventures even for those not interested in a lifelong military career.

Those worried about making an easy transition back into civilian life can also take advantage of the many programs that help smooth the way for careers after the military, including: job training, certification programs, networking with army-friendly companies and teaching programs.

Get a Higher Education – Without the High Cost of Tuition. If a solid financial footing isn’t enticement enough, what about education? The recent G.I. Bill has significantly expanded education benefits for the U.S. Army. You can pursue higher education during or after service, or pay back your student loans if you’ve already earned your degree.

After just three years on active duty, you can attend any public college in the nation at the government’s expense. If you were hoping to pursue a degree at a private university, you can still do that – just apply the same payments toward tuition at your dream college.

A Guarantee No One Else Can Offer in a Down Economy. The uncertain economic climate right now means there are few guarantees. The army can offer a steady paycheck, excellent pay and benefits and an easy gateway to future education and career opportunities. The benefits of the U.S. Army are greater than ever – while the risk has rarely been so high in the civilian sector.
