even though you could die in the line of duty or be maimed.... it's hard enough to find a good job. this looks really good on a resume.. it says loads about your chararcter; more than you would think at face value. i don't think there's a better choice you could make for your life. it just shows your parents and all your friends that you're there and you know where you're going with your life. there's no real down side. you can't really compare it to other jobs because it's different, and everyone needs a job.
