In all seriousness, think of jobs that will directly translate into the civilian world. What are you going to do if realize you don't like the Army as a Machine Gunner in 4 years? There aren't any jobs you can slide into after that? At an interview, Immediate Action & Remedial Action drills aren't valuable skills. BTW those aren't even actual MOS's in the Military. Gunners can be anyone, I've been a gunner on a convoy and I'm just a camera man...
I've been in the Marines for almost 3 years now as a Combat Camera man, the Military isn't a place for free thinkers like myself, and I plan to get out at the end of my 5 year contract, but I can get out with an honorable discharge and my job will carry over directly into the civilian world. Thats the main reason I joined. I hope Ian can chime in as he just completed his first deployment as a Grunt, he can tell you the nitty gritty. I've been in Afghanistan for 9 months, but I live a pretty cushy day to day with intermittent trips outside the wire.
