US Army reviews

No work life balance, and you don’t just do your job. You do a little bit of everything. You’ll cut the grass around the facility you work for, clean the latrines, pull 24 hour shifts, be responsible for subordinates well being and family members outside of work. You won’t just do your assigned MOS duties or soldier training events such as ranges and field exercises, your expected to go above and beyond on all these little extra things that end up taking time away from you and/or your family. I think it’s good for single individuals, but difficult for single parents and those with families that like to be very family oriented.

Social instability along with location uncertainty. This is not a job. This is not amazon or some other corporation. It is the Army. "Fight and win our nations wars". If you do not understand the difference, you are likely not going to be successful.
