There are many complaints about the U.S. Army; however, my experience has been different. Of course, there were many inconveniences within my career, but that comes with just about everything. The U.S. Army has provided me with the experience and time to prepare for the "outside" world while giving me opportunities to qualify in certifications that will be useful to major companies outside of Department of Defense.
The Army will take care of you. That is a fact. You'll get a roof over your head, food and something to do most days. Sometimes it sucks and sometimes it is scary, however there are times where you realize just how strong you really are, how capable you really are. Those sort realizations are only possible with the Army. Indeed there is nobility in the selfless service that comes with it as well. to serve your Nation means no higher calling. It does mean long and hard days and many sleepless nigh though. It means waiting long hours and hurrying the next hour. Its also the satisfaction of a job well done. It is doing something you though impossible.
The Army is a great workplace that has regulations and programs aimed at having a great workplace environment however it has its flaws like all large private organizations. The flaws lie in Management, Work/life Balance and Growth Opportunities. The major flaw in Management within the army is that there are too many managers, essentially any person that outranks another is there manager whether they are effective or efficient at it or not. The work/life balance is the Army isn't balanced at all because most lower ranking personnel has to spent longer hours at work than home (even sometimes throughout the weekends). Between working sometimes to 7 pm lower ranking soldiers still must additional work duties after hours for the Army. The work/life balance has a direct affect on growth opportunities in the army. If soldiers spend all of their time working or sleeping then they don't have much time for growth opportunities especially not personally. The army still is a very good experience.
