I'm considering joining the army.Do you guys have any advice?

Know what you want to do before ever speaking to a recruiter. Am an all or nothing kind of guy. If I want combat arms, I would look into becoming a ranger or 11B airborne at the least. If I wanted to be support with minimal chance of being shot/bombed I would do dental or something easy. You need to be in outstanding shape to be worth anything. Just passing isn't good enough. if you want to be promoted to Sgt and go to all the schools than you need to be doing well on PT test. Stay away from guys that *****' and moan all the time. It spreads like a disease. Try to get your armory guy to upgrade your rifle with a grip and ACOG. It will make your life much easier and give you a better score than using plain iron sights.I'm considering joining the army.Do you guys have any advice?
You should make sure to get all the information you need from the recruiter. Ask as many questions as you need. When it comes to signing the contract, make sure that everything in the contract is correct and your MOS is chosen by you, not the recruiter or counselor. If they don't want to offer you what you want tell them you will wait till it is available. Remember the job you choose is going to be yours for a few years. Other than that, good luck see you on the other side.I'm considering joining the army.Do you guys have any advice?
Don't just speak to a recruiter, speak to ANYBODY that's in or are priors. Recruiter's will just inform you about the good side of things, people who don't need to meet quotas will tell you both sides of things. Write down all the questions you have and ask the recruiter. Also, don't just limit yourself to the Army see what the other 3 branches has to offer. I mean 4 if you count the brown water police (coast guard) =D
Do your research.


Army has like 150 different jobs.


Talk to a recruiter maybe.


An Army recruiter told me that the website itself has a lot of information.
