Lacey Langford advises potential military recruits to consider the significant sacrifices, including potential deployment and frequent moves, alongside the substantial financial benefits. She emphasizes that the decision should be a calling, not solely driven by financial incentives, requiring a willingness to serve the constitution.
“If you're willing to do what's asked of you when it comes time, you know, nine to eleven is a really great example. Many people had served a long time during peace time and they were called up, you know, to deploy to be in combat.”
“But that doesn't mean that it's not a good thing or that that will actually happen. But and then also the moves, you know, moving is a lot on some people, if especially if you've grown up in a hometown and you've never been away from home, so that's something to think about as well.”
“But you know, there's a lot of great things that can come out of it besides just the financial benefits. But you know, you have to be willing to do the job too.”
