Duderino, It was really a good decision for me and I just finished my 4.5 yrs contract.
Saying that, honestly, I cant do this for 20 yrs (retirement).
Let me tell you my story and how it was one of the best decision I made.
I came to US in 2004 and completed my Bachelors Degree in 2009. I was in debt of about 35K when I graduated. I couldnt find real job while I was on OPT. So, I had 3 options left.
1. Start Masters Degree ( It would add more debt)
2. Go back to Nepal and start some business there ( I was not ready to leave USA)
3. Join Army under MANVI.
I chose the third option and as you all know that in 2010 , there were two major wars going on (Iraq, Afghanistan). It was hard to decide if I was doing it right or not and does all this really worth to get citizenship.
But honestly dude, it all worth it now. I paid all my debt and have some savings now, can buy house whenever I want and do my masters with army's money if I wanted.
