In generations past, there were a few things we were sure we knew about joining the Army: You got money for college, free health care, access to VA home loans and you could retire after 20 years. Generation Z, the generation of Americans born after 1997, doesn't know any of that, according to a survey released last year -- but they also think they do.
A March 2022 "Know Your Army" national consumer survey of 3,000 people ages 18-76 found that lack of awareness about Army benefits could be a culprit. The survey found that 73% of Gen Zers surveyed believe they know what Army life is like, the highest number recorded from any generation, but their perceptions don't match the reality of Army benefits and careers.

Doesn't surprise me, few get more than a few minutes a day without their cell phone stuck to the face on social media.

Yep, we've all seen them walking with their face buried in their phones, either texting or watching videos, or whatever they do. Just today at a grocery store, a woman walked right into my (stopped) cart while she was busy with her cellphone; then she gave me a dirty look! LOL
