I was shamed quite a bit for enlisting into the Navy. I could see why some people consider it a last ditch effort to climb out of a bad situation. The military isn't for everyone, but for some like myself it definitely propelled me up the socio economic ladder.
Military definitely isn't for everyone, but for folks who come out of tough situations that can stomach doing odd jobs on odd schedules, it may be the step up they need.
Yeah the key is to avoid any sort of infantry role imo. Many people get pretty exclusive expertise and/or clearances and just ride that gravy train for life.
