Maybe even start a family. You're at a crossroads. The key is to find the right path for you. For hundreds of thousands of men and women, joining the Military was that choice.
The one that mattered. The Military is full of opportunities for those with ambition. Lifelong careers. Paid education. Experiencing the world. For those who wish to commit to something bigger than themselves, it's a calling.
And when they look back at those choices — they realize in service, they can have them all, too. If you're considering joining, do the research. Ask questions of people who are there to help. Choose a Service branch which fits your personality — who you are and what you represent. And when you make that leap, when you enlist or join as an officer, you'll be ready. At the base of the Army are privates and specialists. Above them comes the first NCO rank, the corporal. Above him, the NCO ranks are filled with different types of sergeants: sergeant, staff sergeant, sergeant first class, master sergeant and so on up to the sergeant major of the army.
The ranks of commissioned officers start with the second lieutenant. Then comes the first lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel and then the various ranks of general.
The higher the rank, the higher the base pay. A soldier who has served for a decade can expect to be paid considerably more than the base for their rank. NCOs typically start out by enlisting in the Army and work their way up.
Why is there such an emphasis on education? This makes a foundation in education extremely important. Enlisted, conversely, can join the military straight from high school using a diploma or a GED. Being commissioned as an officer gives young, new lieutenants a degree of status over a young, new airmen, privates, or seamen — but not the NCO. NCOs have years of service and have developed a focused, on-the-job expertise in their field.
More than that, however, they know their people, the junior ranks who will be doing the bulk of the tactical work on the ground. In truth, a good NCO is an invaluable asset to any an officer.
