Defence Force Jobs - Are they good?

[Akali]

Are defence jobs good in any western country? Australia, USA, UK etc. How do they pay, housing, health benefits that sort of thing. Comfortable life or not?

I hear the US military gives a free ipod to each new recruit.

First, learn to spell it correctly. "Defense".

Well, if you don't mind instead of a usual contribution for society doing something that usually at best wastes resources and at worst kills innocent people, it's good work.

Hey now, a properly used military is a strong force for stability. Of course, the key phrase there is "properly used."

And since the OP doesn't appear to be another spammer... In the USA, a soldier's gross pay is generally pretty low, but their living expenses are almost entirely taken care of and there are programs to help them with higher education and personal debt, so their net pay is actually quite respectable.

there's such a wide variety of jobs in the armed forces, it's practically impossible to say without some more information

are you seriously willing to move to a different country just to join the armed forces?

Spell it with an "s" America leads the world in "defense." Any country that spells it with a "c" will probably face cuts.

 

[Larnz]

TBH I think it would be more accurate to say America leads the world in Offense.

Quotes, my friend, sometimes used to denote irony.

I work in the Offense industry. After all, it's the best Defense.

To the OP: It can be difficult to pick and choose a country to work for, they typically require you to be a citizen before they trust you to protect them.

Just go become a doctor.

Best to keep Politics out of this one, Craig....

It's because here in America 'defence' is what one erects in de yard.
