It is the same spirit that will guide, in part, our children's desire to
serve in the military. Whether it is tradition, idealism,
heritage, spirit, or just a dream—a hope—our children may wish to join the
profession of arms, their success will be dependent on their education and
training while in military, as well as the support of parents, family and
friends. Our personal example and steadfastness in standing by
our children, If they should choose the military, will go a long way to ensure
their success. Military service opens our children to the Opportunities for
intellectual and professional development. If they chose the
military, let us remember how we once served with pride and dignity; then let us
honor and respect them for their service to our country. Wang Ao Military life does not bring some
material benefits, so perhaps you don't intend on making the military your
career. But, for the young person just out of high school, who does not really
know what they want to do, the military offers other benefits... non-material
benefits that even Congress cannot touch. I'm talking about self-esteem,
self-confidence, learning to be a team player and leadership training. Chen Juan I am a father of three men,
all of whom have chosen the military as their first adulthood experience without
pressure from me. I simply showed them the pros and cons to military versus
civilian life. We analyzed their objectives and determined what they needed to
do to obtain them. No, not everyone is cut out to be in the
military or has the military as a career. But my advice to parents is to let the
young man or woman decide, not you. Don't steer them away from the military
because we have lost some material benefits. Li
Shu Parents who maintain that the military today is
one of eroding pay and benefits and steer their kids from this opportunity ought
to re-evaluate their own career. The civilian job market is not the same one as
our parents had. Look around, and you don't see people staying with the same
company for 25 or 30 years (with vacation and sick pay, medical, dental and
retirement benefits intact.) A military career offers stability
and opportunity that isn't available to the most talented of individuals in the
civilian job market. Spending 10, 15 or more years in the military and then
embarking on a civilian career can he very rewarding, financially and otherwise,
for the well prepared. Peng Xue
A college education is no longer the guarantee of a middle-class
lifestyle. Today's middle managers are entrepreneurial souls who are contract
employees. Union jobs, with their associated benefits, are very few and far
between. The military is still the outstanding value it. is

or entering the job market will put the average youngster head and shoulders
above his or her peers. Now match each of the persons with
