Part III Response

5. Which of the 3 military jobs would you like best? Why?
If I had to chose a job I would want to be a special forces medic because it fits my attitude
the best. You are trained with medical skills that could help you get a job after the army
6. Did you know that this job existed before? Or, are you surprised that it exists?
Yes I did know that it existed I just never considered it before.
7. 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).
The military would be good for me because if I do the ROTC it will help pay for my college and
I will also get paid well out of college.
