Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? All advertising does. But if military life doesn’t live up to the advertising, you can’t bring your enlistment agreement back to the recruiter for a refund. You are obligated to the military for a total of eight years, including time in the Reserves when you could be recalled.</strong></span></p> 328<div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>WHAT ARE SOME THINGS I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MILITARY LIFE?<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Do you enjoy having someone constantly telling you what to do and how to do it? If not, you may have a hard time with military life. The military places numerous restrictions on personal behavior that would not be acceptable in civilian society. Military members are subject to military law 24 hours a day â even when off duty and off base â until the end of their term. Disobedience in the military can result in court-martial, prison, or the lifetime problem of a bad discharge.</span></p><br /> 329<p class="western"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">If you canât finish your first enlistment term, you could lose all or part of the education and other benefits you were promised and be forced to pay back any âbonusâ you received. Almost three out of every 10 recruits do not finish their first term (RAND Report 4258, 2020).</span></p><br /> 330<p class="western"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Furthermore, section C.9.b on page two of the enlistment agreement says your status, pay, benefits and responsibilities in the military can change without warning and REGARDLESS of any promises in your agreement! And the military has the right to keep you past your discharge date. For example, during the years 2001 through 2009, 186,000 people were kept from leaving the military when their terms were up (Armed Forces Press Service, 11/2/2009).</span></p><br /> 331<p></p></div></div> 332<p dir="ltr"><div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>WILL I LOSE SOME BASIC RIGHTS?<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Yes. Here are just a few examples:</span></p><br /> 333<ul><br /> 334<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">If you leave your work without permission or don’t show up, you can be put in jail.</span></li><br /> 335<li><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Any disobedience can result in criminal punishment.</span></li><br /> 336<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">You can be punished without the right to see a lawyer or have a trial.</sp
336an></li><br /> 337<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">You may be ordered to commit acts that violate your most basic values, like killing another human being.</span></li><br /> 338<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Your ability to spend time with your parents, partner, and other family members will be severely limited.</span></li><br /> 339<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">You will be subject to routine urine tests for drugs.</span></li><br /> 340</ul><br /> 341<p dir="ltr"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93" src="https://winningthepeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/cas.gif" alt="cas" width="113" height="262"></p></div></div> <div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>WILL IT HELP ME GET A JOB LATER?<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">Many people join the military expecting to receive valuable job training. But military training is designed for military jobs, not to help you get a civilian job later. Even in the technically oriented Air Force, many jobs require particular military skills that won’t do you much good in the civilian world.</span></p><br /> 342<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">Even if you get the training for a particular military occupation that you were promised, you still might not get experience in that job because the military does not have to use you in the field you were trained for. The enlistment agreement allows the military to assign you to whatever job they choose.</span></p><br /> 343<p class="western"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">During the time some young people spend in the military, others who are the same age are spending those years in college or trade school, or getting work experience. As a result, the unemployment rate for young veterans in 2022 was 13% higher than the rate for people the same age who did not enlist (Bureau of Labor Statistics, News Release, 3/21/2023).</span></p><br /> 344<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">As former Vice President Dick Cheney once said, âThe military is not a social welfare agency; it’s not a jobs program.</span>â</span></p><br /> 345<p dir="ltr"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91" src="https://winningthepeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/joey.gif" alt="joey" width="85" height="262"></p></div></div><div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>WHAT ABOUT PROMISES OF BONUSES?<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Enlistment âbonusesâ are not really bonuses paid just for joining: they are usually paid out over time, and you could have to pay back the money if you donât complete certain requirements. Bonuses are not given to everyone, and when they are offered, the higher amounts are either given to people with special technical skills or who sign up for a longer term, or they are used to push people into very risky hard-to-fill jobs, like infantry or bomb disposal (American Military News, 1/13/22).</span></p><br /> 346<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-118" src="https://winningthepeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/sage.gif" alt="sage" width="113" height="262"></span></p></div></div><div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>IS COLLEGE MONEY FREE AND GUARANTEED?<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Recruiters might promise that you’ll get to go to college âfree,â but it’s not free â you must work for it! And the benefits will not be guaranteed.</span></p><br /> 347<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">The Post-9/11 GI Bill offers more money than in the past to those who qualify, and it allows military members to transfer unused financial aid to other family members, but there are conditions and possible problems you should know about. </span></p><br /> 348<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">For example:</span></p><br /> 349<ul><br /> 350<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">People must enlist for a total of 10 years to transfer unused college benef
350its to family members.</span></li><br /> 351<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">People who receive a less than fully honorable discharge lose all GI Bill benefits.</span></li><br /> 352<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Those who leave the military early, as one in four do, may get reduced or no benefits (RAND report, 2020).</span></li><br /> 353<li dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">Veterans who wish to attend college outside the state where they live may only get a small part of their total tuition covered. In 2023, the average <u>extra</u> tuition cost for a non-state resident at a public four-year college was $17,890/year, which isnât covered by the military (Trends in College Pricing, College Board, 2023).</span></li><br /> 354</ul><br /> 355<p class="western"><span style="color: #373435; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><span style="color: #ded9d9;">If you need money for college, there are many other sources of aid to look at, including grants and scholarships that are TRULY free. There are federal Pell Grants, for example, and many state-funded financial aid programs (see:</span><a href="https://projectyano.org/resources/college-financial-aid-resources-directory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College Financial Aid Resources Directory</a><span style="color: #ded9d9;">). Colleges can help you find aid, and it pays to investigate the many alternatives yourself before signing away eight years of your life to the military. And if you go straight to college, instead of the military first, you can start earning the higher wages of a college graduate much sooner.</span></span></p><br /> 356<p></p></div></div><div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>IS THERE DISCRIMINATION IN THE MILITARY?<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">The military claims it treats everyone the same, regardless of skin color; but in reality, it has serious problems with inequality in the ranks. People of color are less likely to get promoted than white members of the military.</span></p><br /> 357<p class="western"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">For example, in 2021, African Americans were 19% of the active-duty enlisted military, but they were only 9% of the officer ranks (2021 Department of Defense Demographic Report). Those who self-identified as either Hispanic or Latino were 17% of the active-duty military, but only 8% of the officer ranks (NBC News, November 11, 2021).</span></p><br /> 358<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-113" src="https://winningthepeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/janie.gif" alt="janie" width="85" height="262"></p></div></div></p> 359</div> 360<div class="gridContainer clearfix"> 361<div id="div1" class="fluid"> 362<div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>CAN THE MILITARY GRANT ME CITIZENSHIP?<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;"><u>No</u>! Citizenship is granted by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), NOT the military.</span></p><br /> 363<p class="western"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">You can <u>apply</u> for citizenship more quickly while in the military, but you can also be turned down by the USCIS. And then you would still be stuck in the military and possibly be sent to war. Between 2016 and 2019, military applications were rejected twice as often as civilian applications (Task & Purpose, 8/20/2021). Even if you get citizenship, it can be revoked if you receive a less-than-honorable discharge, and then you might be <u>deported</u>.</span></p><br /> 364<p class="western"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Read more about citizenship and the military Here:</span></p><br /> 365<p class="western"><span style="color: #373435; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><a href="https://bit.ly/milcitizenship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">

In a 2019 survey sponsored by the Dept. of Defense, 14.1% of heterosexual women reported having been sexually assaulted. In addition, 25.7% of LGB and 30.4% of trans military members reported having been sexually assaulted (Journal of Traumatic Stress, 6/2020).</span></p><br /> 368<p class="western"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">When such assaults are reported by the victims, the rate of prosecution is very low, and the victims often must continue working in a hostile workplace. These problems still exist despite many years of promises by the military to prevent them.</span></p><br /> 369<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-111" src="https://winningthepeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/valerie.gif" alt="valerie" width="113" height="262"></p></div></div></p> 370<p dir="ltr"><div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>WARâYOU THINK IT WONâT HAPPEN TO YOU?<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Some people have been told by recruiters that they wonât be sent to war or see combat because: they are promised a non-combat job, theyâll be in the National Guard or Reserves, they are going to be officers, or they are female. Some have been told that current wars will be over before they finish training. In reality, people in all of these categories have been sent to combat zones. At one point in the Iraq war, half the troops were from the Reserves or National Guard. Also, thousands of people in the Navy and Air Force were given dangerous ground duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the wars lasted 10-13 years.</span></p><br /> 371<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">Some recruiters claim that the risk of personal harm is small, that few people are killed or injured in U.S. wars. But in 2012, almost half of the 1.6 million military members sent to Iraq and Afghanistan had filed disability claims for injuries (Assoc. Press, 5/27/12).</span></p><br /> 372<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">The purpose of the military is to fight wars. If you are ordered to a war zone, you can’t refuse to go. And if you suddenly realize that your personal beliefs are against going to war, it can be very hard to get out of the military. Before enlisting, you should talk to a vet or someone who has experienced war, and then decide if it is something you can accept.</span></p><br /> 373<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-105" src="https://winningthepeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/joey-1.gif" alt="joey" width="85" height="262"></p></div></div></p> 374<p dir="ltr"><div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>SERVICE AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">Many good people join the military because they want to make a difference, to serve others. This is a great goal, but after joining, you may find out that it’s not the kind of service you expected, and then it would be too late to change your mind.</span></p><br /> 375<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">Presidents have ordered our military to attack and occupy countries that never threatened us, like
375Vietnam, Grenada, Panama and Iraq. Instead of defending their country, some military members have felt they were used to defend oppressive governments or the profits of oil companies. But they had no choice unless they were willing to refuse orders and go to jail.</span></p><br /> 376<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">If service is your goal, it’s important to ask yourself some hard questions: Regardless of the rank or military job you are given, would you be willing to support missions you might not believe in and actions that could cause great destruction and the loss of many innocent lives? Would you care that the U.S. military is the worst polluter in the world? Would you be willing to share responsibility for such things in order to get money for college or the job that the military is offering you?</span></p><br /> 377<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ded9d9;">If you’re not sure how to answer these questions, take some time to think about them and consider the fact that there are many different ways to serve your community, your country and the world. For example, you could become a teacher, a fire fighter, a community organizer, a social worker or an emergency medical technicianâall of whom make a huge difference in many people’s lives.</span></p><br /> 378<p dir="ltr"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-104" src="https://winningthepeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/marine.gif" alt="marine" width="142" height="262"></p></div></div></p> 379<p dir="ltr"><div class="otw-sc-toggle"><h3 class="toggle-trigger widget-title closed"><i class="general foundicon-checkmark"> </i>IF YOU ALREADY JOINED THE DELAYED ENTRY PROGRAM (DEP)<span class="icon"></span></h3><div class="toggle-content"><p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #ded9d9;">If you signed up for the DEP (or the Armyâs âFuture Soldiers Training Programâ) and then changed your mind, watch out for recruiters who say you canât get out of it, or that you must report to boot camp to be released. <u>Neither is true</u>.

They are interested in you because if they don’t meet their quota of recruits, they can be forced to work overtime or be punished other ways. One veteran recruiter told a reporter for the Albany Times Union, âI’ve been recruiting for years and I don’t know one recruiter who wasn’t dishonest about it. I did it myself.â</span></span></p><br /> 394<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ffffff; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><span style="color: #ded9d9;"><strong>2)</strong> Get a copy of the military enlistment agreement (Form DD4) and read it carefully, especially page two, before you sign any papers. Download it</span> <span style="color: #ffff00;"><a style="color: #ffff00;" href="https://armyrotc.fsu.edu/sites/g/files/upcbnu1166/files/Contracting%20Forms/DD%20Fm%204%20filled%20in.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HERE</a></span></span></p><br /> 395<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><strong>3)</strong> Talk the enlistment agreement over with your parents and friends, or with a counselor from the GI Rights Hotline. Ask about any parts of the agreement that you don’t understand.</span></p><br /> 396<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><strong>4)</strong> Take along a parent or friend as a witness if you go see a recruiter. Then you’ll have somebody to back up your side of the story if there is a dispute over what was promised.</span></p><br /> 397<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><strong>5)</strong> If you have a police record or medical condition, don’t hide it, even if the recruiter tells you it doesn’t matter.</span></p><br /> 398<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><strong>6)</strong> GET ALL PROMISES IN WRITING and have them signed by the recruitment representative! Spoken promises are worthless, but also remember that even written ones can be changed under the contract.</span></p><br /> 399<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><strong>7)</strong> Get copies of everything you sign. Keep them in a safe place.</span></p><br /> 400<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><strong>8)</strong> If you want a special enlistment option, be sure to ask the recruiter questions like the following:</span></p><br /> 401<ul><br /> 402<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">For how long do I have to enlist to get this option?</span></li><br /> 403<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Are there any extra requirements (schooling, physical standards, security clearance, etc.) that I have to meet to qualify for this option? What happens if I don’t meet them, but I’ve already enlisted?</span></li><br /> 404<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">What if there is no space later in the training program or job that I signed up for?</span></li><br /> 405<li dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">For options that include assignment to a particular base or area: Am I guaranteed this assignment for the entire time I’m in?</span></span></li><br /> 406</ul><br /> 407<p dir="ltr"><span style="color: #ded9d9; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><strong>9)</strong> REMEMBER: If you don’t like your new job, they don’t have to let you switch, and you can’t quit!
