I'm thinking of joining the military. Does the Salvation Army count? and if so, can I get a $50,000 bonus.

I did, and don't regret it.  The military offers paid education and 4 years training for the job you receive.  Downside:  you might not get the job you really want.  Needs of the military, if the don't need you where you want to be, too bad.  But odds are high that you'll get the MOS or one closely related to it.  You'll know before you sign the contract.  The military offers the GI bill, which is good money to further your education once you've hit 2 years, or are out at any college you choose.  The on base education center has LOTS of opportunities from apprenticeships in your field of work to free classes at local colleges, all you have to do is take advantage of them.  There are lots of bene's to being in the military.

I don't know where you live, but in my area the Catholic Charities organization does that; If you belong to any organizations like Veteran; American Legion, etc. They do it.  Try Salvation Army.  Check with your local Public Assistance Offices

Generally your pay will start 30 days from when you join, but if you start Basic training on the 15th of April for example you likely won't get paid until the 1st June, but you will get paid for that whole time period. New recruits are paid once a month on the 1st of the month until you fill out paperwork to start getting paid twice a month in which case your pay is evenly split between the 1st and 15th of the month. If you're worried about money, when you go to Basic training they give you an amount of money (think it was $250 they put it on a card) to buy items that you'll need for treaining like running shoes, toiletries etc. The only thing is that you can only use it at the Post Exchange or Shoppette, if you don't use all the money at the end of Basic  they will take the card back and give you the cash in your next pay check. Hope that helps!

Economically, it makes great sense.  You'll have to go to Basic Training (not a big deal) and then AIT (even easier, where you learn your job).  All you have to do is apply to a college and you'll be able to do them simultaneously.  You could try an ROTC scholorship and skip the Guard, but you can do both!  My buddy did that and had enough extra money during college to buy a car, I still had a bike.  The National Guard is cool because it's not just "go to Iraq and die" like uneducated people think, you get to help out your local community in times of crisis.  If you're willing to spend a couple of months learning to be a team player and shoot a rifle, it's worth it.

I am LDS (male, married with children) and have lived on Army, Navy and Airforce installations overseas for the last 10 years. If you have prayed about this and feel that it is right, then go for it. Much good can come from enlisting. However, I would strongly caution you to really find out God's will. Don't get me wrong. I think that the armed services are good and necessary. There are many financial and educational benefits to joining one of the branches of the service in addition to being able to serve your country, like the GI Bill, free housing, free health care, training, etc. \nI have seen however that these installations are often a place where drinking, partying, adultery, fornication, and general promiscuity run rampant. The deployments are long and often grueling. Soldiers frequently work on Sundays and are unable to attend meetings. Sprituality slowly erodes as you are constantly surrounded by foul language and behavior. There are also very few active LDS singles on many of these bases. \nIt is my opinion that the Air Force is the most family and LDS friendly of the branches of military. My personal recommendation from what I have seen, is that it is better to get one's college degree and then enter the service at a higher pay and rank rather than to enter as an enlisted soldier. I have only seen one active single female in my 10 years overseas.\n\nGood luck. Contact me at whapingmon@yahoo.com if you have additional questions.

No. I have helped alot of homeless people in the past. I even gave one all my mcdonalds. But as soon as you give them a little, they want more. So I donate all my lightly used clothes and other stuff to the salvation army, and give the coats I no longer wear away as well. I donate anything I no longer use or need. Therefore they can just get good stuff for super cheap, or free.

I think you have answered your own question. If you have earned the reward and have not been paid you probably won't. Did it cost you to get into it? Then just write it off as education. That way all who read your question won't have to.

The Salvation Army also give clothing to the needy - no charge.\nThey sell the clothing and use the money to provide other necessities to the unfortunate in shelters and people in desperate need. Personally, the Salvation Army is the only Organization I gladly donate money, food and clothing too. \nTry a women's shelter - they always need clothing for the\nwomen that have to go there.

I know that the Salvation Army helps with some utilities, you might want to give your local office a call.

Not sure if I understand your question.  If you're wondering if you will somehow become a ward of the state, the answer is no. If you are eligible for a free ride, there are usually no strings attached.  Check the terms of your scholarship and/or grant to make sure there is public service commitment.  e.g. for teachers, they have to work in public education for X amount of time. If military scholarship, you owe service to the military.

Send me your information to Brianswifey@cashette.com. I do not know if you are telling the truth or not. If you are not then they will be your cross to bear. I will do all that I can. It may not be alot, but it helps. In the meantime, try the United Way, Urban Ministries, Salvation Army. Many times these organizations provide contributions, monetary as well as food.  Prebyterian Ministries can help. Tell me what state that you are located in. If you are located on the east coast, I will speak to someone that can contact you. Keep your head up and I am praying for you as I type this. If this a scam, be warned that anything that I send will have means to track and I will not hesitate for a moment to press charges.

The Navy, Army, and Marines all have programs like this.  But you must sign up for 4 years of service one you've finished school.  They pay for school and also give you amonthly stipend of around 1000.  It's a great deal if you don't mind serving when you're done.  You'd have to check on their age requirements.

The military will treat a 99 and a 50 the same (99 is perfect). What you may get (from the Army-only branch to gurantee everyone the exact job) is more choices, but they all have to offer whatever is on teh system. You will not get a bigger bonus, shorter enlistment, or anything else that is not in the system for everyone else that qualifies for the position. \n\nYes, 4 or 5 others may have gotten a perfect score, it is graded on a curve. Basically, mathematicall, 1 in 99 should get a 99. If you are in a place with 500 people, 4 or 5 should have a 99. If you are in Satellite Communicatios, 4 out of 6 probably have a 99, since the minimum score to get the required line score is about a 94 on the test.

Yes, in order to pay for this war, we'll need all the spare change we can get.   \n\nSo the Salvation Army will be out in full force at every grocery store in America during the 4th of July weekend...and if they are successful, I'm sure they will be posted there for an indeterminate time, with no exit strategy.
