    Thanks, yeah I think in service benefits are great but life after the military is always the pain point. The military sometimes has crazy signing bonuses and you get the GI bill as well, I think if the military appealed to people’s life after service more then more people would sign up. Maybe do that in place of the GI bill. Homes are crazy right now because there aren’t enough homes, not so much because they’re expensive to build.

    Unless you go with an MOS that you’d like to do after the military, a lot of the time the skills you learn don’t really transfer to civilian life. Young adults don’t usually know what they’d find rewarding and the recruiters can often trick you into some job you didn’t want. I wouldn’t recommend it to most people.
