3. Your paychecks will always be on time.
4. It costs nothing for housing.
5. Your meals are being paid for. 
6. You can still go to college.
7. There is a mall located on the military base.
8. You are considered a professional.
9. You receive plenty of promotion.
10. You receive advanced training.
