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.
From medical to housing allowances, and Exchange and Commissary. The military's total compensation package is second to none.

Federal Health Insurance is great. Through the technician program the federal government will match your Thrift Savings Plan up to 3 or 5%.

They have great benefits: free medical insurance for you and immediate family, Dental plan (very cheap); they give you a housing allowance, pay for relocation, usually every three years or longer if you extend. They also give you a cost of living allowance (COLA) if overseas and separate rations in order to keep your family well fed. 30 days paid vacation!!!!!!

They completely handle everything, to the point where when I got out, I was clueless about benefits just like the guy out of school

Most benefits are free but at the cost of long waits and lower quality.

The Army provides excellent healthcare (including dental and optometry) and housing for its employees. They also provide cost of living increases depending on your location. There are plenty of incentive pays as well for specialized jobs and for serving in dangerous areas.
