Joining the Military
Perhaps no occupation is more patriotic, noble or valiant than to serve one’s nation in the military. Just as no two individuals have identical backgrounds or circumstances that bring them to the armed forces, no two career paths within the military need to be the same. In fact, serving in the military may be among the most diverse career fields in the world.
Military Training
The path your training will take is largely dependent upon your selected job. Following your contact with a recruit office, you’ll be asked to take a Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. This test is designed to assess what skills you will excel in and how best to fit those to a path in the military. Job descriptions within the military each have minimum ASVAB scores the applicant or recruit must attain. Following testing, you’ll have an opportunity to see what careers are open to you and choose from these.
Typically, when one mentions training and jobs in the military, the mental image is of a boot camp or basic training. This is certainly a part of the training of members of the military, but is in reality just one to three months in the life of a career service member. This training is about physical training, but also about forming the recruit into a disciplined, team player.
Next up, it’s on to specialized training or schools based around your selected job title. In some circumstances, you may be sent to your first unit while you await an opening in the technical training program for your particular branch of service. This time will allow you to get “on-the-job” training while you wait.
Job Titles and Descriptions
Administrative: Keep the military at the optimum condition by supporting the very real needs of paying attention to details and tying up all loose ends.
Combat Specialty: This is that comes to mind first for many when one mentions the military. These are the men and women on the front line: in the air, on the ground and at sea.
