A Few Reasons To Join The Military

By Rhea Solomon


In a world which has become more unsafe especially in recent years, many an individual may want to know what some solid reasons to join the military are. It is a risky proposition to put oneself in this situation, and it has the potential to keep one away from loved ones for long time periods. There are some military men and women who are called to serve their country for more than one tour. The reasons are for one to display patriotism, obtain job experience, earn funds for college, defend a country from the ravages of war, utilize one's professional expertise, and provide stability to youths. These will all be looked at more below.

An individual can join the armed forces to put on display his or her patriotism. This is the ultimate gift that one can offer to his or her native country, and it is also a sacrifice that can result in one's death. This is the situation in particular when a country is fighting with one or more countries. This reason to serve one's country is also used along with other reasons.

Garnering experience that can be used on the job is yet another reason to join the armed forces. Service members who eventually enter public or private sector positions have valuable skill sets, which include being rather disciplined due to the the nature of life in the military. Those who have served have went on in large numbers to serve as teachers, police officers and other law enforcement professionals, engineers, mechanics, and countless other honorable job roles.

As is particularly the situation given how much a college tuition can cost in these modern times, there are a lot of young people who join the armed forces in order to defray their education costs, though this is usually not the sole reason for joining. This action can help a family substantially, but a service member typically has to serve for a set period of time in order to achieve this benefit.

Upon a nation's being put under attack, many men and women may have a calling to serve in the military in order to defend his or her country. This calling has been loud and clear in recent times, as unfortunately there have been numerous attacks that have threatened world peace.

One may wish to use his or her professional skills while at the same time serve in the armed forces. Many a doctor, nurse, and other medical professionals, have served their countries and traveled with their families to different bases over the years.

The armed forces can provide a stable environment to someone where none existed. Youths from poorer neighborhoods in particular for many years have found educational advancement and stability through patriotically serving their country.

There are many reasons to join the military. It does go without question that regardless of why one joins, he or she is ultimately making the biggest sacrifice possible for his or her country.
