Well if you wanna compare deals, here goes. I enlisted as a 98XL for 6 years, that means I enlisted as a Military Intel linguist. I could've gotten my languge specified, but I just said "what the hell". So, I got a $16,000 cash signing bonus(payable upon completion of AIT) and $50,000 dollar Army College Fund/MGIB. And on top of that the Army taught me Korean at the Defense Language Institute(the best Language school in the World, i might add that as a civilian the school costs $400 a day), AND I got a top secret security clearance, which can be a VERY big deal when trying to get a job in the civilian world.
