    Getting paid time off for an internship is pretty decent

They give you paid time off, and off for national holidays during your 10 week summer internship. They also pay for the relocation

Great time off benefits. Based on experience, that will be adjusted from a range of 4–8 hrs per pay period.

It's probably the better benefits package than most companies!

The benefits are very competitive, with great retirement and medical options. There are also quite a bit of continuing education programs for employees to take advantage of.

Current 35T - MI Systems Maintainer/Integrator in Fort Gordon, GA, Georgia

Burned through my first 3 year contract not being able to get any work experience. Half of it was training for my MOS and the other was being an HR representative. Although this crushed my "5 year plan", they took excellent care of my wife and I in the following areas no questions asked. Financial: the paychecks keep coming so long as your not seeking trouble. Pandemic or not. Medical: You'll only have to pay pocket change for co-pays if anything PTO: Unmatched by any company I've ever heard of. An entire month out of the year regardless of rank and experience. Career Building: Get all of your certifications paid for and leave the service with more tools under your belt
