Book Reviews of Americas Top Military Careers: Official Guide to Occupations in the Armed Forces (America's Top Military Careers)
Book Review: Good Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a chance to look through this book when my son brought it home from his school library. It seems pretty thorough, and offers a glimpse at the wide varity of vocations and opportunities available in today's military. If you are unfamiliar with the military, this guide can help you get educated on your choices prior to seeing a recruiter.
If you are interested in becoming a military officer, you may want to look at "How to Become a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Military," by Ron Taylor.
Summary of Americas Top Military Careers: Official Guide to Occupations in the Armed Forces (America's Top Military Careers)
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.General Books
