Pros and Cons of the Army?  

answers 0:I have been reading posts from years ago about the pros and cons of joining a military service. I am 26 years old with a BA in Criminal Justice - I have talked to all military services and have my decision between the Army and the Air Force. The Air Force to me seems like a huge waiting list, with fewer and fewer job openings. The Army has multiple job openings of interest and some great sign on bonuses. From experience of those who have joined, are active, are retired - what are the pros and cons of joining. We all know the obvious con of death or serious injury. I am looking for a little more help on making that finally decision to be sworn in or not.I appreciate your time and help.Thank you....Show moreanswers 1:Be patient join the Air Force!!!answers 2:Vicky V - why would you ever ask such a thing.
