Military Choice for Students
The military is our right and ticket to freedom. Someday people may not like having to send their son or husband, but it is for you and the rest of your family. They should be respected at all times, and not for a second should they ever have someone look at them and put their head down. These men are ready to risk their lives for others and for their country and they are proud of it. They help our rights and they help our freedom be alive.
The military is a good career for either those who are extremely interested in joining for personal reasons, or for those who don’t have a lot of options, due to poverty and lack of education or resources. “In an ideal society, we would give the latter type of people more options than putting their lives on the line, but all things considered, the military is a decent option for a lot of people, offering them education, a paycheck, and benefits,” said SFC Gerald Rasmussen.
Joining the military is a good choice for a career. The pay is good and you get to see the world in most cases. Those that sign up are passionate about it and that is a good thing because there is lot of room for advancement. There are also a good amount of specific jobs you can do in the military.
“I’m well aware that there are many different jobs in the military, but, in my opinion, the military is best suited for those who did not exceed in academics,” said Mr. McGrath. Not to say that those in the military should not be intelligent. That would be false. But if someone is physically fit and good at shooting guns and does well in high pressure situations, the military is absolutely a good career choice.
Overall the military is a good career for many students, who just want to serve their country right and do the best they can in all aspects. The military is for those who can and will protect the United States of America with everything they have left.
