It is a purely calculated decision. I'm doing it for the college, and strictly that. 6 year contract with the guaranteed job of 3D0X4 (Computer Systems Programmer). After that I'm out.
There is no "serving your country" bullshit.
I'll get $4,500/year for tuition while on active duty, plus the post 9/11 GI bill will pay for an additional 4 years at any state university while also providing the BAH of an E-5 with dependents (AKA, right now that would be about $1,200 to $1,800 in my pocket a month for 36 months, depending on the university's local cost of living.) I should finish a bachelors while on active duty, since most of my job training actually counts as college credit (+the 20 credit hours I already have). I'll only have to take a semester or two to finish an Associates.
