The training and salary you get as a Soldier are only some of the ways the Army strengthens you for tomorrow. The Army also offers money for education, comprehensive health care, generous vacation time, family services and support groups, special pay for special duties and cash allowances to cover the cost of living.
There are plenty of benefits from the USO, to family rented services. Everything.

The two best things are that you get a retirement paycheck and that you can keep your health insurance benefits after you retire.

Although basic pay for lower ranking Soldiers is hard to raise a family on, the added benefits of free medical, dental, monthly stipend, and housing allowance really does make the Army one of the better all around benefits packages for those with little training, experience and/or education.

The benefits of being an enlisted soldier are great! I got a free PRK surgery, 4 day week end every month, descent health insurance, free gym, and 30 days vacation every year.

Excellent benefits, as you would expect from a Military/Government job. Free healthcare, GI Bill.
