Complete Idiot's Guide to Careers in the U.S. Military


Book Description

The lagging economy getting you down? No jobs out there, no job prospects? Join the Army. Or the Navy. Or the Marines. Or the Air Force. Good pay, great benefits -- an excellent career opportunity. -- This book will teach you how to tweak the system to help you enjoy the fullest benefits the U.S. Military has to offer. -- What little competition there is for this title is several years old and virtually obsolete. Uncle Sam Wants You -- more than ever. Since the tragic events of 9/11, all branches of the U.S. Military have seen a rise in enlistments. This is due to several factors: 1) A renewed sense of patriotism, and 2) a cooling off the economy and subsequent recession. Suddenly, job opportunities for recent high school and college grads are drying up quickly. That's why a career in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or even the Coast Guard, may be an excellent option. Author Bill Harris, working closely with recruiters from branch of the military, will detail the intricacies of getting the most out of a military career and discuss which branch of the military might be best for you. He'll explore age limits, guaranteed training, bonuses and benefits, and even the rigors of basic training. He'll also cover the many perks offered by a career in the military, and how best to obtain them.




The US Military


Book Description

Sometimes while at work or play we hear people talk about the military and unfortunately most of the information is incomplete or inaccurate. After many years in the military, I thought it was important enough to write a book that would provide an honest guide to a young person wondering whether or not to apply to the military. This book will not sugarcoat the challenges and explain the process from pre enlistment until post enlistment.
