Thinking of a Life in the Military??
Your call to duty will come from within. Maybe it will whisper. Maybe it will hint. Or maybe it will come to you as a resounding scream that you were meant for bigger things, faster moves and a higher cause. That cause may very well be the United States Air Force. Become a part of the pre-eminent Air and Space power in the world. Take your place at the forefront of war-fighting, peacekeeping, and humanitarian aid. Join the most technologically sophisticated military branch and one of the largest and most important companies in the world. A company that measures success by its impact on the world, our country and the lives of the men and women who hear the call and join our ranks. When you hear your call to duty, will you choose to ignore it and opt for the mundane? The easy? The uninspiring? Or will you Cross Into the Blue?
The U.S. Army is made of committed Enlisted Soldiers and Officers serving together to protect America’s freedoms and to preserve the peace. This kind of commitment makes each and every one of these Soldiers the embodiment of selfless service. The Army is a key component of the U.S. Armed Forces, providing expeditionary land forces wherever—and whenever—they are required. Working in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Defense, the Army trains and equips Soldiers—and creates leaders among them—to rapidly respond when they are called upon to serve our Nation.
The U.S. Coast Guard is one of five branches of the US Armed Forces, and falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Coast Guard is the country's oldest continuous seagoing service with responsibilities including Search and Rescue (SAR), Maritime Law Enforcement (MLE), Aids to Navigation (ATON), Icebreaking, Environmental Protection, Port Security and Military Readiness. In order to accomplish these missions the Coast Guard's 38,000 active-duty men and women, 8,000 Reservists, and 35,000 Auxiliarists serve in a variety of job fields ranging from operation specialists and small-boat operators and maintenance specialists to electronic technicians and aviation mechanics.
Joining the United States Marine Corps will place you alongside more than 40,000 young men and women who will take control of their futures this year. Like them, you are probably seeking a challenge and the opportunity to become a success. And like them, you are ready to set goals and travel a path toward your destiny.
The milestone of finishing high school is marked with exciting challenges and decisions. As you think about your next step, consider the benefits of joining the Navy. Whether you want to go to college or if you’re looking for something different, the Navy may have an opportunity for you. |
