Should I join the army?
I am thinking about joining the US Army. I was born and raised in Germany and also served in the german military for 9 months about 6 years ago. I actually did enjoy it and almost signed up for active duty over there. I have been to the States for 6 years and am currently a Green Card holder. I am thinking to join the military as an officer ( I have about 2-3 semesters to go for a Bachelor's in Finance). What are my options? Finish school first or go to a military school? I would like to get into the financial field of the military rather than combat, intelligence, engineering, etc. And I was also told that my wife would stand a better chance to get into a nursing program through the military (she has been on the waiting list for 3-4 years already at a community college) So in short: Green card holder 90 semester units Married with baby on the way :-) Officer's rank (complete school first or join and complete school in military?) thanks Regard: Bobby! I have a Green Card. Why would I care about becoming a citizen faster?? I would sign up for 4 or more years just to get my citizenship a year earlier? HAHAHA Your statement was enough to let everyone know what kind of Vietnam Veteran you are!!!

Although service in any area of the Army is honorable, the hackles on my neck are standing because it appears you only want in the Army to speed up your citizenship. If that is the case then graduate and get a nice civilian job where you will be nice and safe. The men and women in the Army deserve Leaders who put them first and will do whatever it takes to bring them home alive. The don't need an opportunists seeking seeking benefits. Everything stated in your question doesn't make me believe you are Army Officer material. You just don't have the "Right Stuff". I am a 12 year Army veteran who served in Vietnam. I saw opportunist officers when I served and they did more harm than good.
