30 days of leave accrued each year. Save up to 90 days a year before use-or-lose. Free healthcare for you and your family granted it’s governmemt run healthcare so it’s not the best.

Plenty of benefits but limited time to use them. Benefits also available once you leave the Army. Education, full health care, and bonuses.

Plenty of time off. 3 day weekends every month when your stateside. More than makes up for all the field training. Housing stipend is generous.

The Army provides everyone with great medical, dental, eye and many other amazing benefits. I am grateful for all the Army has provided to my family and I.

Amazing health benefits for your entire family. Had a child and civilian hospital was 100% covered by our tri-care insurance. I miss the coverage since separating.

The best thing is that is covers you 100 percent but doesn’t cover the family like you are covered.

The company has gone to a matching 401K type retirement so when you decide to leave you have something to take with you.
