Eventually this leads to the service having a reason to discharge you and it's not always honorable...
There are upsides and downsides to it. Whatever you do, don't do it for these reasons: Your family members are in it or want you to. You suddenly felt it was a good idea. You've had major negative change in your life and you think this will help. You are trying to get in shape. You 'only want to travel and see the world.'
All of those reasons will leave you unhappy when you do get in and make training that much harder and stressful.
Edit: Also dont go for "school". 4 year contract goes like this: Bootcamp - A school - C school - deployed = only about a year left. Nowhere in that timeline do you have time for school of your choosing.

Rape to anyone or sex is dishonorable discharge and prison in a military jail... Sorry my family are big into the US army...
And your 'school' thing is also wrong your schooling is if 6 months w/ the military rest of the time they want you too do online college even if over seas

I meant the victim is dishonorably discharged in some cases.
And take it from me about the school. 8 weeks or so of boot where you are not allowed to (and dont have time for) online school. After boot camp there is "A" school (or whatever each branch calls is where you learn your job) during your time there you are not allowed and do not have time to do online school. If you score good enough they will send you to a secondary school or "C" school where you are also not allowed to take any other online classes. At this point you get your first duty station (and here is the kicker) each duty station has at least a 6 month wait for all new people. THEN it has to be signed off on. So YAY! At this point you can take ONE online class because that is all your have time for. A few months into that class? Guess what? You are being deployed! So drop out of that class and take some of the remote classes offered over seas which are general ed.
Like I said previously. At this point you have ONE year left in your contract to take online classes and that's if you dont get deployed a few months before your contract is up.
Trust me. I speak da troof!My first division commander was a chief and quietly informed everyone on this a few days before graduation. I was also told never to tell anyone he told us this or he would be in deep shit. Now, do your contract and get out? Use that GI Bill. That is what its for.
