New places, new people and a new lifestyle make the first term of enlistment more challenging. Married enlisted personnel if they are a long way from family or if there are financial issues at home can find it hard to adjust. However, there are many family support programs on base to assist. In addition, the non-member in a marriage can find it stressful when the military unit deploys the spouse to an overseas area. Again, deployment counseling is available on base, as well as the support of other families in the same position.
Safety is really the watchword of modern military operations.
Service members receive safety briefings at every step in an operation or exercise and before departing for leisure activities. Leaders are responsible for anticipating where possible safety hazards may occur and preventing them. There is no higher priority in every military unit than safe and healthy operations. Page top 4. If the job you want is not open in the service you want at the moment, ask your recruiter about the Delayed Enlistment Program.
