There is a lot of reasons why some parents view their sons and daughters going into the military with a certain amount of derision and fear. But there are a lot of positive reasons for a young person to join the military.
Some feel the call to duty. Others see the advantages in joining the modern U.S. military, with benefits, training and other perks.
But no matter the reason, they all join and fight for their own view of their beloved America.
There are some of the biggest reasons that people join the U.S. Military.
These can include:
Financial- The military has been working for a time now to increase the military pay, and benefits. With different types of enlistment bonuses, and 30 days off with pay a year, there are a lot of good financial reasons for a person to join.
Freedom From Parents- Some young people join to get away from their parents. This may seem like a strange reason, but it is more prevalent than many realize, and its just another part of growing up and leaving the nest. But many parents do not know that this is part of their child?s reason for joining up.
