Part III Response

4. Which of the 3 military jobs would you like best? Why?
I am most interested in Aviation Officer. The position interests me because I like
learning about aircraft such as helicopters. Using knowledge about the helicopters
to aid in military operations would be an interesting position to fulfill.
5. Did you know that this job existed before? Or, are you surprised that it exists?
I suspected that a position similar to this would have existed but I did not know the
actual position name.
6. Now that youve looked into this career, do you think it might be a good option for you? Weigh
the pros and cons of military service, government benefits, and being able to transition into a
civilian career with the other paths to the career (usually college).
A position in the military has always been an option for me, and the benefits for
housing, education, health care, and food reinforce this possible option. This would
be a good option for me, although I do want to pursue owning my own business or
playing soccer. In case something happens, I will keep the option of a military
career in the back of my mind.
