Why would people with job prospects join the army?
family tradition is one. You can potentially start as an officer is another. They tried to recruit me to start as a captain given my prior vocational training.
I did not know that. Interesting, I guess my own feelings on it didn't let me consider that
I got a 99 on the asvab (everyone at our school took it) and was getting recruiting calls all the way through my PhD program.
My condolences
