The trauma that comes with being in the military would be
ever lasting but it wil give me great experience that can and
will lead me into othe opportunities for my future career.
The military has many different branches but the branch
that I will go into would be ground army or sniper. This
intails the responsiblity to keep people safe and insure that
no one gets hurt.
The starting salary would be $50,000 but it can easily go up
to $120,000 a year.
While in the military I have a couple choices after or if i
decide to retire from the military. I could have gone through
school while serving, or I can stay in the military and ride
the ranks.
My lifestyle will change drastically because I will not be at
home for min 4 years and I will be waking up at 4 am every
morning. I will be working out everyday.
In the miltary you are able to move up ranks pretty easily if
you are capable of those new responibilities.

Write a reflection on whether your job will support your lifestyle.

1. What sacrifices will you have to make?
I will have to leave my family for several years which will be extremely difficult. Not knowing if i will

My plan is to save 75%. I will be able to save 75% because in the military my housing will be paid for, and
all my expenses will be paid for. So, if I'm making 75k a year I will be able to save $56,250 each year and
in 10 years I will have saved 562,500K. Not including my investments, just income.
