Not sure what freebies anyone would be getting. Everything in the service is earned. There are no 8-4 days. Expect to work a lot of weekends and holidays and be deployed at least one of 3 years.
Are you joking? Of course there are freebies. free college, VA loans. Hell my Marine son said they are looked down upon in the Corps.
Anyone joining the military for freebies is a joke, whether that is free college, loans etc to stay reserve.
I say that as a vet, my son a marine, my other kids waiting to join, or my father, my grandfather. etc.
You join for love of country if you can do the job.
