Part III Response

4. Which of the 3 military jobs would you like best? Why?
Out of the three military jobs I like Flight Operations the best. I think that it would
be awesome to be working with an aircrew whether it be working inside a fighter
jet operating tactical weapons and radio communications, or jamming radars and
making sure all aircrafts leave and return safely.
5. Did you know that this job existed before? Or, are you surprised that it exists?
I knew that it existed before but I had never really researched or looked into it.
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).
Now that I have looked into this career I think that it would be a very good option
for me. If I were to pursue the Military it would be through a ROTC program or a
Military Academy. I would receive a very good education, I wouldnt have college
debt, and I would come out of college employed. After years in the service I would
have military benefits and a degree. Additionally it is awesome to be a part of
something as great as the US NAVY and everything that it has accomplished and
what it stands for.
