π‘οΈ Why I Created This U.S. Army Enlistment Guide
Hello,
my name is SSG Ho Yong Lee, a Korean U.S. Army Recruiter currently serving at the Fairfax Recruiting Center in Virginia.
Through real conversations with applicants, one thing I have noticed is that there is a lot of information online about the U.S. Army and military enlistment. However, some of that information is outdated, no longer accurate under current standards, or simply misunderstood.
Because there is so much information available, many people feel confused about what is actually current, accurate, and relevant to their situation.
As an active-duty Soldier and U.S. Army Recruiter who works directly with applicants, I created these pages to provide Korean-speaking individuals and families in the United States with more realistic, practical, and up-to-date information about Army enlistment and benefits.
This guide is based on questions I often receive during real consultations and includes topics such as:
β’ U.S. Army enlistment process
β’ Active Duty vs. Army Reserve
β’ Military pay and BAH
β’ GI Bill and education benefits
β’ TRICARE healthcare and family benefits
β’ MOS / Army jobs and career opportunities
β’ Enlistment information for Green Card holders
β’ Eligibility requirements and preparation steps
β’ Post-service career options and how military experience can be used after service
Although I am currently based in Northern Virginia, I also assist Korean-speaking applicants from many other states, including California, Texas, Georgia, New Jersey, and other areas across the United States through online consultation.
Due to the nature of the U.S. Army enlistment process, the actual MEPS processing and shipping procedures are generally handled based on the applicantβs place of residence, which means applicants living outside Virginia may still be able to receive consultation and support.
Some detailed preparation materials and step-by-step guides are provided separately to applicants who are actively going through the consultation and enlistment process.
I continue to update this guide based on real applicant questions, current standards, and practical information from the enlistment process. My goal is to make this page a helpful and realistic Army Career & Benefits Guide for Korean-speaking individuals and families living in the United States.
U.S. Army enlistment requirements, benefits, pay, BAH, and GI Bill explained.
Eligibility for green card holders, MEPS medical screening, and waiver guidance included.
β οΈ Most pay and benefit examples on this page are based on Active Duty (Full-Time Army) service.
Reserve service is typically part-time, and pay and benefit structures may differ.
Looking for a career in the U.S. Army? Contact SSG Lee Ho Yong, a dedicated recruiter serving the Fairfax, Northern Virginia area, Washington D.D., and Maryland. Learn about benefits, MOS options, and more.
Even if you are considering the Army Reserve, key benefits such as pay, BAH, BAS, TRICARE, and GI Bill may work differently from Active Duty.
If keeping your current job or school schedule is your top priority, the Reserve may be a good fit. However, if stable income, housing support, healthcare coverage, and long-term education benefits are more important, it is important to compare Active Duty as well.

β
Pay & Lifestyle (2026 Example)
U.S. Army compensation is more than just a paycheck.
Itβs a cost-of-livingβadjusted system designed to support your real lifestyle.
A large portion of your income is tax-free β which makes a significant difference.
π° What Makes Up Your Pay
π° What Makes Up Your Pay
Your total compensation includes:
β’ π° Base Pay
β’ π BAH (Housing Allowance)
β’ π± BAS (Food Allowance)
β οΈ Most pay and benefit examples on this page are based on Active Duty (Full-Time Army) service.
Reserve service is typically part-time, and pay and benefit structures may differ.

π Estimated Annual: ~$80,500
β οΈ Why This Feels Like a $90Kβ$100K Salary
β οΈ Why This Feels Like a $90Kβ$100K Salary
Over $3,500/month (~$43,000/year) is completely tax-free.
In a civilian job, a $80K salary is heavily taxed.
In the Army, a large portion of your income is not.
π Thatβs why the real purchasing power can feel like a $90Kβ$100K+ salary.
π Built-In Pay Growth System
π Built-In Pay Growth System
Your income doesnβt stay the same β it grows automatically:
β’ π° Annual pay raises (typically 3β5%)
β’ π BAH & BAS increase with cost of living
β’ β± Automatic raises every 2 years (time in service)
π Promotion + time + inflation = steady income growth
π‘ Why This Matters

Even without major changes, your income increases over time.
Unlike many civilian jobs, your pay is structured to grow consistently.
In high-cost areas, tax-free housing allowance becomes a major financial advantage.

These numbers are just examples.
Your actual pay depends on:

Difference in Take-Home Value: Single Soldiers vs. Soldiers with Families
Difference in Take-Home Value: Single Soldiers vs. Soldiers with Families
When looking at U.S. Army pay, it is important not to focus only on Basic Pay. Housing support (BAH), food allowance (BAS), healthcare benefits, and whether housing and meals are provided should also be considered.
For Soldiers with dependents, BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) and BAS (Basic Allowance for Subsistence) may be provided depending on duty location and dependency status. Since some of these allowances are paid as tax-free benefits, they can make a significant difference in overall take-home value.
For single Soldiers, depending on the situation, housing in the barracks and access to the DFAC (dining facility) may be provided. Because of this, fixed living expenses such as rent and food costs may be lower compared to many young adults starting out in civilian life.
However, actual take-home pay and potential savings can vary depending on rank, years of service, duty location, dependency status, taxes, personal spending habits, vehicle expenses, insurance costs, and other individual factors. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to review each personβs situation individually.

βοΈ Still Thinking About the Army Reserve?
The Army Reserve can be a great option for those who want to continue working or attending school while serving part-time.
However, if any of the following priorities apply to you, it may be worth comparing Active Duty as well.
β
You need a stable full-time paycheck
β
Housing and food allowances (BAH/BAS) are important to you
β
You need healthcare coverage for yourself or your family
β
Housing or living expenses are a significant concern
β
Having access to a wider range of MOS options is important
β
You need help with both tuition and living expenses
β
You are looking for long-term career growth or a pathway to U.S. citizenship
Many applicants initially consider the Army Reserve, but after reviewing their personal goals and situation, some determine that Active Duty is actually the more practical option.
The best choice depends on your individual circumstances, priorities, and long-term plans. Comparing both options can help you make a more informed decision.

π‘οΈ U.S. Army Enlistment β Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Weβve compiled honest and accurate answers based on the most common questions from applicants.
1. Eligibility & Getting Started
1. Eligibility & Getting Started
Q. Can I apply if my English is not strong?
A. Yes. Basic communication is required, but you donβt need to be fluent.
The Army provides ESL programs, and your English will be evaluated through the ASVAB and training process.
π Iβll personally guide you on how to prepare.
Q. How difficult is the ASVAB (enlistment test)?
A. The ASVAB measures high schoolβlevel English and math skills.
Math is generally manageable, but English terminology may require preparation.
π Iβll guide you through the test and help you prepare effectively.
Q. What are the age and eligibility requirements?
A. You can apply between the ages of 17 and 42.
Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder).
Q. What if my Green Card is close to expiring?
A: Depending on the situation, it may still be possible. However, by the time of shipping (Ship Date), applicants may need a valid Green Card or renewal-related documents such as an I-797 Receipt Notice.
If your Green Card is close to expiration, it is important to review your renewal status in advance.
Since every situation is different, it is recommended to first review your current status through consultation.
Q. Can I still join if I dropped out of college?
A: In many cases, yes. The U.S. Army generally considers multiple factors beyond academic background alone, including ASVAB scores, physical qualifications, and immigration status.
However, final education level and completed college credits may affect eligibility or possible starting rank (such as E-2, E-3, or E-4).
Q. Where is MEPS conducted?
A: In most cases, MEPS processing is conducted at the location closest to the applicantβs residence.
Although I am currently stationed in Virginia, applicants from other states can still complete the process through online consultation, while testing and medical processing are generally completed through their local MEPS.
Q. Can applicants from other states apply?
A: Although I am currently stationed in Fairfax, Virginia, I also assist Korean applicants living in states such as California, Texas, Georgia, and New Jersey through online consultation.
In most cases, MEPS processing and enlistment procedures are completed based on the applicantβs local area.
2. Work Environment & Safety
