Should I Quit University And Join The Military? Need Honest Advice From Serv
Good day sir/ma. I'm currently a 200-level student at Nigerian Army University Biu studying Software Engineering. Due to serious financial difficulties, I've been considering leaving school temporarily to join the Armed Forces so I can become financially stable and hopefully continue my education later through the military. I would really appreciate honest advice from people who already have experience in the military.
Is joining the military at this stage a wise decision, especially when I already have a university education in progress? What are the realities of joining as a recruit, particularly regarding salary, career progression, further education and the possibility of eventually returning to university? I'm also particularly interested in the military/police or Provost side of the military.
I would like to know whether it is possible to enter that area as a recruit and how someone can eventually get into Military Police/Provost duties. Please don't just tell me "join" or "don't join." I want to understand the advantages, disadvantages and things someone in my position should seriously consider before making the decision.
I would genuinely appreciate advice from people who have actually served or are currently serving.
