The Department of Defense recruits and trains approximately 200,000 enlisted members and officers each year, making it one of the largest employers in the U.S. This book was developed to help young people, students, educators, and others learn about the many career opportunities that the military has to offer. It is a compendium of military occupational, training, and career information designed for individuals who want to explore the military world of work. The new book contains descriptions of 140 enlisted and officer occupations, including information on work performed; physical demands; special requirements; training provided; work environment; helpful interests, experiences, and personal characteristics; civilian counterparts (helpful to those leaving the military and transitioning to a civilian career); military career scores from the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB); corresponding interest codes; profiles of real service people; and sample career paths. Includes many photos and tables with helpful information. - from Amzon
