That depends on what you mean by "good."  I'm a mechanical engineer and have worked 25 years for cities in water and wastewater.  There are also a lot of civil engineers in the field.  Job security and benefits are good, but the pay is only mediocre.  I'll be able to retire comfortably before I'm 50.  Some of my friends got into weapons development right out of school.  They had great salaries when they worked, but were often out of work (especially when the Soviet empire collapsed and nobody was putting money into weapons for a while).  They don't have such good retirement plans as I do, but since 9/11, they're back to good salaries.

Don't join.  Every job from office clerk to mechanic can be sent to where the combat is.  Just because you aren't in an infantry unit doesn't mean the terrorists won't be trying to kill you.  Wearing the uniform isn't about looking good; it's about defending a way of life.  Don't feel bad if this is not for you.  There are other ways to be patriotic without fighting.  Just being a good citizen and not breaking the law shows that you want something better for your country.

My, a lot of negative answers so far!  I am not in the armed services, but do have family and friends who are!  Those of you in the military on active duty to the war zones - you've been given a big job, but your the best trained, best armed soldiers in the world (despite politicians like Kerry who ship you out and then cut your funding)!  Keep up the good work, remember your training, keep up the morale, and come home safe!  Thank you for serving, we're all pulling for ya!

I was Army for several years and enjoyed it...but my cousin was Navy and enjoyed it as well.  So, it is just a matter of personal choice.

It depends on how long it tkaes to get the job done.One of the major beliefs of the military is to never give up and never surrender.Our soldiers are doing a wonderful job!I have spoken with quite a few and all of them say not to listen to the media.Our soldiers are doing alot more good things than the media will show and or tell.The ones that i have spoken too feel that they are doing the right thing and are working very hard to do what is nessecary.HOOAH to the military!

yes. the people in it are close-knit and won't let you down. if one soldier is hurt, the others will stay by his side until he is back on US soil, dead or alive. the military is actually a great thing, despite what some liberal media networks want you to think.

Sheesh, so what if she spells something wrong- even if it is very bad, I bet you would not like 10+ people flaming you and yelling at you about your spelling!\n\nNow, I am going to be a person who will answer her question-\n\nI'd recommend the marines- They have much "Funner" programs, without as much the risk as a the navy. The training is not as rigorous also. But, The decision is a big step- Would you be willing to leave your family, and have a chance at death? The salvation army, or things like that help your country. Maybe do a canned food drive for the soilders?

Amen!!!  I am a moderate liberal, but some of the crazy people in here scare me!!  also, my spouse is in the marine corps.... so the military is definitely a good thing!

It's not good. I was at Bolling AFB a little while & it was a very bad neighborhood. There are nicer areas to commute from, but rental/real estate proces are insane. Important work draws people to the area, but live on base if you have to go there. I was always more happy in the operational force or major command level than anywhere close to DC anyway. I can't speak to schools. There are good private ones if you just happen to have inhereted a ton of money, but DC is just bad. I was only there about six months though so maybe someone else can give you a better impression than I got.

I'm thinking about joining soon too.  I found a few good online resources to help me out.  My favorite is military.com.  Check it out:

Your scores sound impressive, but what the military thrives on is drive and passion.  Keep pushing for it, bud...you'll be flying before you know it.  But you can't give up now.  \nWe need pilots and we'll need you as well. \nAim High!
