Message:: [QUOTE="xdbguard, post: 481961, member: 14188"]I agree with aftershock. I can think of several reasons to join the military instead of going truck driving. 1. insurance (your family is covered at day one of active duty at no cost     to you)2. money (on average, you will make 500 dollars a week truck driving)    I believe you make less money but everything you need to succeed in     military is provided to you, not so for trucking.3. Support network. I feel like im out here fumbling in the dirt sometimes     but there are people to help and people who understand that lifestyle     better in the military.4. If you think trucking is the best option to stay in contact with your     family... well, it's a tossup. Sure, you may get to see them for 4 days a     month, but the quality of time isn't much to speak of.5. If you chose to stay on land  by joining the army, you could apply for    base housing and have the family with you. (and the army lets you    choose your MOS) I didn't do 20 years, but everyone should experience it.[/QUOTE]
