There is ONE job that is ALWAYS looking for applicants....

well, i see sooooo many reports on the news on how people are losing there jobs, looking for a job and can't find anything....but there is ONE JOB in the united states that is ALWAYS looking for people and that would be....

THE UNITED STATES MILITARY

i just don't GET it that those that are QUALIFIED are not trying to get in...those that are young enough (i THINK the cut off age is somewhere 35 OR OLDER...maybe 40), are healthy enough and are in good standings in our comunity SHOULD be trying to get in...YES, it's a SACRIFICE, BUT for your FAMILY you are suppose to do what you HAVE to do...when my son MATTHEW was born and we KNEW the kind of medical bills we would have, james made the DIFFICULT decision to enter into the military...TRUST ME, we had a running list on our dry erase board on our wall with the PRO's/CON's going on about the military/civilian life...and there was so LITTLE PRO's on the civilian side and soooo many PRO's on the MILITARY side, that really, there was ABSOLUTLY NO REASON NOT TO GO FULL TIME IN THE ARMY!!! YES, it is scary with being DEPLOYED and such but for our family...that was the RIGHT OPTION...maybe not for EVERYONE but for us (ok,and a WHOLE lot of EVERYONE else out there), the HEALTH BENEFITS (100% coverage, NO CO-PAYS, NO DEDUCTIBLE, COST for a family of 5 LESS then $50 a MONTH), the PAY (for us it was MORE than DOUBLE what HE was making working for the STATE!!), the STABLITLIY (there will NEVER not be a NEED for the MILITARY), they will pay for your COLLEGE and if you or your spouse has OUTSTANDING college loans, they MIGHT pay for those TOO!!! they also will give you a CASH BONUS if you sign up, send you off to school to learn a new trade (you could be a nurse, dr, tech, lawyer, ANYTHING that you are qualified to do and that the military needs!!) AND if you have a COLLEGE DEGREE, you MIGHT go in as an OFFICER making a bunch more than that..i really could go on and on, so i am not.....my husband did NOT want to do it AT FIRST because like everyone else, it IS scary, but for US, his FAMILY, he knew that THAT was the WAY TO GO..our family has benefited SOOO MUCH by being military...yes, it is scary when he was deployed (view his deployment video), YES, we missed him...YES, it was a SACRIFICE him being gone (he missed 9 months of his baby boy's life)...but we ARE SSSSSOOOOO PROUD OF HIM!!! it has allowed me to continue to be home with our boys, to give my SPECIAL NEEDS BOY the procedures, medication and doctors visits he NEEDS without worry of cost (just imagine what we would have to pay for if we DIDN'T have this insurance...), the military will PAY FOR YOUR MORGAGE if you live off base so you don't even have THAT to worry about and it is NON-TAXABLE so during tax season, you are now in a LOWER TAX BRACKET when filing (and if you decide to live ON base, that is paid for too!! the only thing you HAVE to pay for is your cable and phone bill!!), so no matter which way you go, your HOUSE PAYMENT WILL BE PAID FOR!! it has allowed us to have many luxuries too, THANK YOU GOD....sooo, why are more people NOT joining the military for their COUNTRY and for their FAMILY ESPECIALLY during these hard times??? IT IS A MYSTERY TO ME!! i have brought up this subject MANY a times with friends and family....the military has been WONDERFUL to our family and we are BLESSED to be a part of that WONDERFUL family....

i am a just a very PROUD military wife and we can't THANK the military ENOUGH for everything they do and WHO THEY ARE....
