Do you guys think it is not wise to enroll into the military during this economic crisis?

It's never a bad time to join the military.

Old news... The american government was going to shut down in april, which would have delayed soldier's paychecks. I haven't heard anything again about this situation, so this probably shouldn't be your worry about joining the military.

Thanks for a real answer, I think the person was referring to anytime right now not just before the government shutdown situation.

Military does not mean you're automatically a bullet stopper in the army.

Military service is a good idea... if you aim to have them pay your school, or you attend an academy like West Point. The US Military has a lot of scholarships, and will assist with tuition. Even housing allowances if you attend full-time.
There are a lot of other perks. Companies often have military discounts, and quite a few young soldiers often get bonuses for signing, which they use towards purchasing a home. The military even helps facilitate very reasonable mortgages and lending.

EvilWhiteDragon wrote on Sun, 19 June 2011 09:16 | To bump this topic: a dutch news program found out that about 107000 USA army veterans are homeless, most due to post-traumatic stress syndrome and subsequent alcohol/drugs abuse. There are not enough places for these veterans to go to resolve their problems.
So much for the guys stating it's always a good time to join the military.
On the other hand, joining it is probably not the problem... Returning to normal life afterwards is...

So sad....
