There's a lot more than hype behind those recruitment spots that announce: "Be all that you can be!"..."Aim High!" and "It's More Than a Job--It's an Adventure!" In fact, America's modern military service branches offer young men and women training that prepares them for hundreds of different, highly rewarding manual, technical, and professional occupations. Barron's Guide to Military Careers is a must-read volume for everybody considering a career in the army, air force, navy, marines, or coast guard. The book features an inventory of each branch's major military equipment, resource listings that include available publications and videos, and a glossary of military terms. It also describes military training and available academic and special training programs, as well as ROTC programs. Among the military career opportunities described in this book are those in administration, aviation, combat, construction, engineering, health, human services, law enforcement, machine work, public affairs, ship operations, and many more.
NOT EVERYBODY FALLS EASILY INTO A CAREER. Some careers require more soul-searching than others. Careers in the military certainly fall into this category. Military life is highly regimented and makes many demands that most other careers simply do not, like spending long periods of time away from home, moving every few years, and requiring careerists to assume great risks in the service of some very abstract ideals. The fact is, most people would not be well suited to a career in the military. What about you? Do you have what it takes to live in tents for months at a time, usually in unpleasant climates and sometimes where people you have never met are trying to kill you? Do you think you can spend all day, every day getting yelled at in basic training by superiors whose goal is to make sure you have the skills necessary to stay alive in a combat zone? Do you think you could get on a plane to the other side of the world on a few hours' notice, not knowing where you are going or when you might get back? If so, you might have what it takes to serve in the United States Army.With more than a million personnel in the active duty Army, Army Reserve and National Guard, the United States Army is by far the largest American armed service. Its soldiers are deployed across the United States and around the world 365 days a year, ready to defend the United States, its allies and interests against all enemies. The Army needs soldiers with every skill imaginable, from infantry soldiers to man the front lines, to intelligence analysts, helicopter pilots, cooks, musicians, graphic artists, linguists, scientists and many others. In fact, for every soldier posted at the front lines there are 11 soldiers in the rear, supporting their colleagues at the front.
Although there is great debate about how work is changing, there is a clear consensus that changes are fundamental and ongoing. The Changing Nature of Work examines the evidence for change in the world of work. The committee provides a clearly illustrated framework for understanding changes in work and these implications for analyzing the structure of occupations in both the civilian and military sectors. This volume explores the increasing demographic diversity of the workforce, the fluidity of boundaries between lines of work, the interdependent choices for how work is structured-and ultimately, the need for an integrated systematic approach to understanding how work is changing. The book offers a rich array of data and highlighted examples on: Markets, technology, and many other external conditions affecting the nature of work. Research findings on American workers and how they feel about work. Downsizing and the trend toward flatter organizational hierarchies. Autonomy, complexity, and other aspects of work structure. The committee reviews the evolution of occupational analysis and examines the effectiveness of the latest systems in characterizing current and projected changes in civilian and military work. The occupational structure and changing work requirements in the Army are presented as a case study.
A Practical guide for any young person considering a military career that analyzes the traditional career path and provides proven alternatives that lead to success, options and most importantly maintenance of the individual and freedom of action.
