I didn't join the Army for the sole purpose of having my loans repaid; it was just icing on the cake. I also received a sizable signing bonus, and was able to convert my degree into an automatic promotion to E4 (Specialist instead of Private).
The Army gave me the discipline I needed to convert my passion into business opportunity, and allowed my family and I to build a solid foundation for the future.
- zzalpha 11y agoSooo... you have zero sympathy because they didn't decide to join the military like you did? No offense, but to assume all people should make the same life decisions you did, and to hold no sympathy for those who don't, is pretty myopic. Believe it or not, not everyone can or should join the army to solve their financial or personal problems.
- nhangen 11y agoYou're being ridiculous and taking my words out of context. I'm not suggesting everyone join the Army; I'm suggesting that they do the right thing and pay their debt, regardless of what it takes. For me that meant joining the Army. For others it could mean something entirely different.
