DUTIES OF A SOLDIER
Living well – living up to a higher standard
As a Soldier in the U.S. Army, your duties are to uphold the Constitution and protect America's freedoms. But it's not always work — Soldiers have free time just like everyone else to spend with friends and family, or take part in sports or hobbies. Soldiers also have access to Army benefits including continuing education programs, low-cost insurances, Army housing and more. Soldiers continually strengthen themselves mentally and physically through Ongoing Training. And most important — Soldiers live the Seven Core Army Values every day. It has never been a better time to join the Army.
Army Soldiers are constantly encouraged to grow. Whether it's job skills training, new equipment training or leadership training, you'll always be evolving into a smarter, more capable Soldier.
From barracks and family style homes, see what life is like living on an Army Post.
