Yes but many dont stay in it long enough to get all that.I have talked to a lot of former soldiers and for some reason most of them seem to say they wouldnt do it again if they had the chance.They usually say yes its good to do something for your country and proudly tell people about it but the initial enthusiam wears off pretty fast when you away from home all the time and lack of pussy etc etc.
