What are careers for the military? And how do I know which one is right for me?

Question

Marines, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, ect.

Answer 1

If you are SUPER smart go for crypto linguist. They teach you a new language in montery California!! I studied Korean it was cool but VERY hard. Try to think about what you enjoy and what translates to the civilian world. Intel jobs usually switch to contractors and you can make good money. If you became a bomb loader there is not much call for it on a airliner. Medical Logistics tech has a short easy tech school and is a 8 hr day job. Almost like being in the real world.
Just make sure you go in with a garenteed job!! Unless you really enjoy being a cop do not go in open gereral or garenteed cop or S.P.!!

Here are some good sites you might go look at to get some idea's.

Military Code of Conduct

US Marine Corps Rules:

1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a ".4 or 9"
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral & diagonal preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
10. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

Answer 3

Talk to a recruiter. As for the comment on Marines have the best pay. NOT!!!! Everyone of the same rank get the same pay regardless of branch of service, it's set up by the government.

Answer 4

I agree with oceananemonie, talk to as many rectuiters as you can and get as much printed information as you possibly can gather, but no matter what recruiters tell you, they might not be telling the whole truth. even if you know them semi personaly, they will lie. Your best bet is to talk to any one u know that is in or has retired from the armed services. Their job isint to convice you to enlist so you dont usualy have to worry about them lying to you lol. Each branch has diffrent qualities to them. Usualy, one branch will fit your "personality type" better than another. Basicly if you dont like watter or being on the ocean for long periods of time, coast guard, navy, and possibly the marines probably arent going to be your first pic. just get as much solid facts as you can. more information cannot possibly hurt you. have fun lol.

Answer 6

Military careers are called MOS es. They are numerous. Best idea is to talk with recruiters. First decide which branch you prefer. You will be given testing that helps determine your aptitudes. Also try to decide what interests you, but remember - no matter what they promise you, they can always choose to assign you to what they need.
