Summary: 5 Stars

I Ratmouse hereby endorse this book to anyone considering joining the military. Donald B. Hutton does an excellent job in outlining the various paths available to the prospective conscript (including the US Coast Guard- which otherwise is difficult to find detailed information about). He explains the options available for those considering the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines (and Coast Guard), the ROTC program, and outlines specific careers and skills to be attained in the United States Armed Services. The nuggets of information found in this easy-to-read, well-diagramed book can make all the difference in one's specialized future as a proud member of the world's most powerful security branch and peacekeeping body- the Unites States Armed Forces.

While some Americans may scoff at the notion of joining the military, and will even criticize the efforts of young men and women who daily risk their lives to serve their country- do not let the sheltered and small-minded ignoramuses deter your will. When joining the Armed Services, you are first and foremost protecting the United States Constitution and our democratic way of life. Sadly, there will always be people who take our liberties for granted, and take for granted the courage and sacrifices our soldiers have made, and continue to make, for the greater good of our country. You are not fighting solely for ivory tower liberals who do not care about you. You are fighting for the higher principles of democracy, civility, national security, and freedom. This book will get you started on that just and noble path.

Summary of Barron's Guide to Military Careers

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.
