Benefits of Joining U.S. Military for Immigrants in America - a podcast by EBM SCHOLARS

Join the Military as an Enlisted Member 

Enlisted members make up most of the military workforce. They receive training in a job specialty and do most of the hands-on work. Usually, you’ll sign up for four years of active duty and four years inactive. After you’ve completed your active duty time, you can either extend your contract or re-enlist if you want to continue serving.  

Officers make up a much smaller part of the workforce. To join as an officer, you typically must have a four-year college degree and complete an officer program. You compete for promotion to continue your career. Most officers are managers who plan and direct operations. Others are professionals like doctors and lawyers. Officers get paid more than enlisted members and enjoy certain other benefits.  You don’t have to join as an officer to become one though. You can join as an enlisted member and attend officer training later on.
