1. It's the absolute worst healthcare you can get. An army docs solution to everything is 800mg motrin.
2. Covering college cost but at a cost and be glad if you can actually go (deployments, training)
3. Guaranteed house loan....dont mean shyt if you have a below average credit score
4. Veterans preference is cool perk I guess. GS system is a who do I know system damn near. It's how I got put on. Also doesn't help that now you have to wait six months if you retired to get in the system. Contractor is the quick come up but pay isn't guaranteed because of shutdowns. plus veterans preference is making a world of difference for Iraq and Afghanistan vets who are homeless at alarming rates.
