Moses’s Answer

There are many benefits you earn whilst being in the military such as Tuition Assistance, provided food, provided housing ( in barracks unless you are married), medical care, steady paycheck, allotted food, and a lieu of other benefits.

When you get out of the military you can take advantage of retirement pay, the GI bill, and veterans preference for job opportunities.

Rebecca’s Answer

Great question. So many benefits from the military not only when you are Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard. Even when you leave the military the benefits after you leave the military.
While in the military:
Opportunity to Service
Medical
Training
Eduction
Steady Paycheck
Monies for Housing
Housing is provided
Monies for Food if you have a family

After military Service:
Retirement pay for the rest of your life
Veteran preference on applications
Medical Benefits
Gi Bill, and can be transfered to your dependents

Lance’s Answer

In the military, you will have a basic benefits package and in some specialty fields you may have additional benefits. You will get paid based on your rank, you will have full medical and dental coverage, retirement plan, first set of uniforms issued to you, the ability to participate in the GI Bill and will have access to VA benefits such as the VA home loan program after you complete a certain period of service. These are the basic benefits that all service members receive. If you are married, you may receive a housing allowance and if you are single, in general, you will live in a barracks (like a dormitory). Some job specialties will receive extra incentive pay or sign up bonuses.

There are many things to discuss and each situation is different, so the best thing to do is speak to your local recruiter to ask more specific questions.

John’s Answer

Basically, as a single soldier you will have room and board, medical and dental as well as all your military travel paid for by the military. The downside is that you are paid a month at a time and your working 24/7. You will have times where you have 24 hour duties. The medical and dental can be rough but they will keep you alive. They also have Roth IRA's and a new retirement plan as well as educational benefits that you can pass on to your children (if you pass it along when they say it is okay to do it).

For more information contact a recruiter.

Don’s Answer

Something you might want to consider is attending one of the service academies (West Point, Annapolis, etc.) or getting an ROTC (reserve Officers Training Corps) scholarship to a public or private university. You will get a full scholarship for college, and upon graduation be commissioned as an officer and have a service obligation depending on the needs of the military.

Lots of information online about those options.
