I certainly got great value from the experience -- I received excellent training, some extra money from my "one night a week, one weekend a month" work, and unlike many of my fellow students, I had a guaranteed summer job. Most importantly, after I graduated, it made a great bullet point on my resumé to say that I served in the Forces and gained lots of valuable skills that are highly applicable in the business world (leadership, teamwork, time management, etc.).

I'm in University now and hopefully, I don't get deployed.
I'm in it for the training... as well as the physical fitness portion of it (I'll use it as my way of getting/keeping fit). I also do value the leadership and teamwork parts of the military, which is another reason I considered this.
That and this sounds like something a starving student could use as a "side job"
