Lol...
The military doesn't pay that well. It's just a steady paycheck.
The signup bonuses can be pretty large depending on your placement exam.
When I was a young dumb 18 year old that wanted to be a doctor, I thought the army would be a good way to do that debt free.
They offered me something like 25 grand if I signed up that day.
That’sa lot of cash for an 18 year old.
25k for enlisted is insane...
When I was in, they didn't even give that much to nuclear engineers to do 6 years...
Was it like Sept 15th 2001 or something when you signed up?
Oh I didn’t sign.
Someone offers you a sack full of cash to do something, you better start finding a dentist to look at that gift horse.
A friend went through the army program starting at med school around 20 years ago. She just got her Oncology surgeon cert, which is ridiculously deep in the medical doctor qualifications.
Seems like the program was effective to me. She had to move around quite a bit, but she also got access to the best hospital programs.
I definitely was dubious about the entire idea of signing with the army, but it worked for her.
Yup. And for most of those guys, they haven't had that before. (Also food and housing is generally free for junior enlisted, so they don't really have much in the way of bills, either. Cell phone, Xbox Live, and that girl's onlyfans who is really into me I swear)
