Step One: Consider carefully if the Army is the right choice for you.

Any job or career change should be viewed objectively. Consider the life style, the job, location, benefits, and opportunities.

To be a U.S. Army Soldier is to be a part of the world's best fighting force. Soldiers spend their days training, working and serving together to protect America's freedoms. But they also have time after work for family, friends and personal interests. From recruitment to retirement, the U.S. Army provides a unique and diverse lifestyle for Soldiers.

Consider the role the Army plays in the US Military. The Army is a key component of the U.S. Armed Forces, providing expeditionary land forces wherever—and whenever—they are required. Working in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Defense, the Army trains and equips Soldiers—and creates leaders among them—to rapidly respond when they are called upon to serve our Nation.

Many people know what the words Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage mean. But how often do you see someone actually live up to them? Soldiers learn these values in detail during Basic Combat Training (BCT), from then on they live them every day in everything they do—whether they’re on the job or off.

The Army Lifestyle:
Most Soldiers are pleasantly surprised by the facilities an Army Post offers. You’ll find fitness centers, movie theatres, even tax-free shopping at the Post Exchange (PX) and Commissary—where you can buy almost anything from DVD players to groceries to clothing. With all this within reach, an Army Post isn’t just a place to live—it’s a community.

Where you live on an Army Post depends on your rank and family situation, those with higher rank or number of family members, have more housing options. For most new Soldiers, living on Post is a lot like living in an apartment complex. See an example of the places single Soldiers are living with these panoramas.




Post Features: An Army Post is also a place to make friends and spend your free time. From bowling alleys to computer labs, weight rooms to restaurants, Soldiers have plenty of options for fun, relaxation and learning.

Army Posts offer a variety of facilities for Soldiers to do almost anything they want during their spare time. These facilities can include:
