US Army reviews

The Army is a meritocracy, meaning, no matter what your background, if you work hard and use your head, you will do well. There are plenty of options for advancement. I spent seventeen years an an enlisted Soldier and then applied for a full university scholarship with an officer commission at the end. That earned me more pay, more family time and more leadership experience. The Army is a place that, if you allow it, can become as much a part of you as you of it. The problem is, you have to leave it eventually, and it almost feels like losing a family member. It is that deep. You get leadership experience, and a lot of it, at all levels of service. 30 days vacation a year with pay, reduced food cost, medical, dental, retirement plans, reduced child care costs, four day federal holiday weekends (usually) and a laundry list of other things.

Best opportunity to learn about teamwork and leadership.
