5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative book! Easy format to read and follow, February 4, 1999
By John M. Edwards (Mobile, Alabama USA) - See all my reviews
Barron's Guide to Military Careers is the only book that I have found that actually lists all of the options that one has available when deciding on a path for entering the service, whatever branch that may be. I am a college student that did not go through ROTC and was wondering what to do and what routes were open to me for a possible life in the armed forces. Donald Hutton's book had all the information that I needed to start on my journey with the military. He tells which jobs are available for officers and enlisted personnel, who to talk to, what websites to look at when making your decision, and what tactics to take when talking to a recruiter. I recommend this book for anyone who has been searching for information about the armed forces and has come to the conclusion that the recruiter's office is the only place to find such information. Donald Hutton gives it all to you in a place that will never pressure you to sign any forms, and helps you keep your destiny in your own hands.

1.0 out of 5 stars elementary information, December 4, 2002
By A Customer
i found this book to be extremely elementary as far as it's content. there was nothing in this book that you couldn't find on the various military web sites. i thought that the material was to general and i found most of was not helpful. i recommend that you find another source for information on this topic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Military career review, January 15, 2000
A complete book very helpful. Complete because it does not leave out any of the five branches of armed services. Helpful because it includes the US Coast Guard which is difficult to get info on but a wise choice for a military career or short stint.
