Well, what we dream about will help us choose. Flying to various countries delivering goods to the ships is interesting. Aircrewman Working as an administrationman at foreign embassy. YN Flying a fighter off a aircraft carrier. Pilot. The truth is all the jobs have something great that you want to write home about and things you dont. Choose wisely. Be hardworking determined and thorough and you cant help but make great "its" out of anything. Managing an infrastructure autonomously at sea. IT is my dream job. But I HAVE MANY DREAMS.


all the best

Another way to look at selecting a military specialty... you can also use the military to do things you'll never get to do elsewhere. I joined the Air Force to learn a foreign language and become a linguist, changed over in basic training... 20 years later, I've had some interesting times, many parachute jumps, helicopter operations, combat deployments. A few years ago (and maybe a few years from now), most of the combat arms skills weren't very marketable on the outside, but very in demand now, not just the obvious such as private contractors back in theater or as a cop/security, but with companies as subject matter experts, opposing force actors, or salespeople making contact with the active units plugging the latest gear. Having retired at 37, I have a pension and can go pursue something entirely different if so inclined, with VA to help pay for schooling and vocational rehab. Granted I won't be making as much as someone who started out in my new field at a younger age, but I have the pension to help and some great war stories...

Edited to add: I forgot the ol' "Every job is what you make of it". If you get forced into something, you may end up prospering in it, or *should* get an opportunity to crosstrain in a few years.

I joined the Air Force without a guaranteed job (Open-Electrical) but I got lucky and landed my dream job. I was a 2E2X1 Computer, Cryptographic and Switching Systems. I basically got 6 years of on hands experience configuring Cisco switches and routers and learning about crypto systems and cabling. The job translates into a pretty strong resume if you decide to get out, like I did. Especially if you manage to get a security clearance before you separate. I was going to JC to learn cisco before joining the AF so this job fit me to a T.

I would recommend if he could be an lvn that would be great, he could try and complete his rn while he is on active duty. nurses make a lot of money and he can do this type of job once he is a civilian
