      Challenging environment for self-less leaders.

      O3 - army - captain
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The U.S. Army provides a challenging environment for leaders of character. Experiences to see the world and be challenged are unlimited. To give to something great than yourself and be a leader of young Americans is amazingly rewarding.

      Cons

      Despite an amazing amount of opportunities for personal development and travel, the unpredictability makes the Army a hard life to sustain if you have ambitions beyond career or a partner who is willing to travel to the ends of the earth for you. It is difficult to pull off a professional working couple relationship.

      Good, but know what you're getting into

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      great benefits, excellent promotion opportunities. not a bad deal if you know what its going to be, but definitely don't just sign up and go into it based on what your recruiter tells you. you need to do your research, be careful about what specialty you pick, and go in with your eyes open because it should be no surprise at this point that you're going to deploy to the desert. your healthcare and retirement benefits are unmatched, so that's a huge bonus for people with families. however, you'll work hard to earn your money, especially when you are deployed.

      Cons

      lack of competence of upper level officers, unmotivated soldiers, difficulty in having your voice heard. its a huge organization and you are just a number to some extent. you will definitely be going to the desert somehow, and probably more frequently than you would like. you don't get much of a say in where they'll send you, so be prepared for surprises. not a bad deal overall, but not a great environment if you are looking to have a family or a life outside of the army. you will have to wake up every morning to work out, which is great except when you're tired, which is all the time.

      US ARMY PROVING GROUND SECURITY OFFICER

      Civilian security
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working for the Government has it's benefits, professional, US Army base that accepts former military personnel. It is important that people realize that this Army base has 1300 square miles of testing facility that makes it the largest globally. There are NAF jobs at YPG as well. All Security personnel are professional and have been trained in Anti-Terrorism and are constantly trained on the firing range as well. Intelligence is high and you have to have a security clearance in order to be qualified for the position. The mode of behavior dictates how people will react to you and the training you get from the former military will meld you into this position.

      Cons

      An hour drive to the base from the County of Yuma, In order to become an Officer of the Law at YPG, you have to go through extensive background checks and also you have to have three months training in another State, New Mexico, in order to be able to be eligible for promotion. There is senority with ECIII; however, the policies do not encounter the term US ARMY base, in that they will hire someone else from another military, i.e., Marines, who allow this base to be run unlike a US Army base. This is a US ARMY base and should be run like one.
