What should make the army an extremely attractive proposition is that the skills and values learnt will turn you into a more productive, motivated and disciplined person, values that will enrich your civilian life significantly, AND give you the edge in post-army employment.
Here are 3 important values, of many, you’ll learn in the US Army.
Commitment – To put country, colleagues and mission before self
In the US Army you’ll learn the value of “commitment” … commitment to serve your country and people with fearless and consistent zeal in peacetime and wartime; commitment to obey orders; be a team player; and to put yourself in harms way, for the success of a mission, if called upon to do so.
Discipline – To think and act maturely, responsibly and rationally
In the US Army you’ll learn the value of “discipline” … discipline that will enable you to act in a mature, responsible and rational manner; discipline in the face of challenges; reprimands; tension; debates; aggression; and more.
Excellence – To accept nothing short of the best in life
In the US Army, you’ll learn the value of “excellence” … excellence in every task, chore, training program, or mission you are assigned to do. You’ll be taught to strive hard and achieve the pinnacle of excellence; and that nothing short of the very best in life will do.
