America's Top Military Careers: The Official Guide to Occupations in the Armed Forces (Paperback)

~ United States Department of Defense (Compiler)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This work is actually a complete reprint of a U.S. Department of Defense publication, Military Careers 1992-1994. It describes the vast array of occupations in the Armed Forces, outlining what they are, the attributes most helpful to applicants, training, work environment, civilian counterparts, and opportunities. Also provided is a section on career paths with a time line. Most libraries will not need this book. Adult job seekers have already passed a decision-making point on military careers, and while school libraries might find the work useful, they could save the $19.95 and have a recruiter provide much of the same information for free.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Career Planning For Military!!, May 1, 2001

By	Heike Adams "hadams3587" (Clarksville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This book is great for anyone wanting, or considering to join the military. It provides descriptions on basically all the career paths and occupations you can choose from with the picture to go along with it. This book will help me narrow down on what I want to do in the military when I join the USMC. If you are not sure on exactly what you want to do for the military, but want to join, then this is the book for you. I love this book! (This can be especially good for young people like myself)
