Pretty much you start your day at 630AM (earlier if you live off post because you'll had to wade through 30 minutes of traffic at an entry point onto base) and you end at 5PM. You're on call 24/7 and you cannot be more than 100 miles from your post. As a 94Y, My work load consisted of troubleshooting and repairing electronic systems located in various – more... vehicular based weapon systems. The hardest part of the job is you have to forfeit your personal life for the service. The most enjoyable part is you feel accomplished and like you did something challenging. Management varies. They pay you to learn a trade you can use for the rest of your life. Great place to start your career, but its not for everyone. – less

Typical work day starts at 5:45 in the morning with physical exercise, afterwards breakfast and then the duties for the day begin. I have learned to always keep seeking knowledge and pass it on to the next person in line so they can know as much if not more than what I know. Hardest part of the job is leaving the family knowing that I could never make – more... it back by losing my life in a combat environment. I miss the people that I worked with they made the day go by a lot easier and I knew that someone always had my back. – less

a typical day at work would be conducting physical training for an hour an a half in the morning, upon completion deal with the days problems. co workers can range from no education to college degrees from small towns to big cities, the most rewarding part is knowing you have created a quality soldier

My typical day consist of a lot of government paper work, running the mail room in Iraq and in Clarksville, TN.

A typical day at work would be patrolling and protecting the military base from harmful situations.
I have learned to handle and perform life saving techniques for emergency situations while maintaining a professional composure.
I have been in charge of many patrols and have trained people entering the job.
The hardest part of my job was dealing with – more... child abuse situations and suicide cases.
The most enjoyable part of my job was making sure the base stayed safe and knowing others could rely on me for help. – less

You would wake up in the the around 5am and do physical training. Take showers then off to work by 9, Mostly you will have a small chain of command you will work with but there is always higher command. Depending on your MOS (Military Operational Service)
it will define what your task in the military is and mine was a 91B Wheeled Mechanic.

I worked many different jobs within the Army and attended many different schools. Most people I worked with enjoyed their jobs. the hardest part was uprooting my family every few years and relocating. The most enjoyable was meeting new people wherever we went.

Report in, morning meetings with supervisor about things that needed to get done, brief subordinates on duties, supervise subordinates on tasks to make sure things are going according to plan. I enjoyed the interaction with coworkers and lifetime friendships that were made.

long work days, a lot of hurry up and wait, learned a lot and quickly, made the best friends i could ever ask for, deployments are long boring with bits of excitement mixed in

Great place to learn and ability to understand true leadership skills.

My opinion was great, some members on the command chain could be a lot better but I had a great time. Hardest part was staying awake on a 24-hour shift, most enjoyable was the training.

Long hours are expected but it makes things difficult to raise a family with constant turn over for deployments. At the end of the day this job was great to experience other cultures but just was not a good fit for my needs.

A typical day involved, engineering practices, heavy equipment operation.
I learned safety and how to work hard.
Management were very caring.
Co-workers were fun and hard working.
Hardest part was working in the elements.
Most enjoyable was learning new engineering practices and operation of heavy equipment.

Great place to start a career. Learn about leadership then execute what you learn.

Civilian employees serve a vital role in supporting the Army mission. They provide the skills that are not readily available in the military, but crucial to support military operations. The Army integrates the talents and skills of its military and civilian members to form a Total Army.

when i'm working with the u.s. army my primary responsibility is to take care of everything in the logistical area of my unit such as, ammo counts, weapons issue, clothing issue etc. So far i feel i've learned all the tasks required to be an logistics specialist in the u.s. army. There is no hard part of my job i enjoy what i do and the people i work – more... with, including my superiors. – less

Great for learning to be a better person. Built leadership skills. The most enjoyable experience was building a family away from home and helping better eachother with our leadership skills and job skills.
