So youve got a bachelors in buisness finance. hmm well your fit to enter the competition for the Cadet Officers program in the Army/Marines/Navy.
Im not sure about Chair Force, I think theyre requirement is also a bachelors degree in any program, but im not sure, ill bet back to you on that.
Air force wives, umm yeah !!
But where can you possibly land with that degree into other departments of the Forces ? There are not many departments. Maybe the Finance/Budget department, but I think theyre all civilians.
Unless you wanna go into the chair force as a GDP(General Duty Pilot). You can be commissioned in the Navy and Marines and Army as a pilot too you know. Navy has a strong aviation department.

So what branch were you in? Are you still in? What was your job? Are you glad you did it?

I was an enlisted Marine. I was in the 1st battalion/7th Marines. My M.O.S was Infantry Rifleman. I had a M16A2 service rifle, the M203 grenade launcher, and the squad automatic weapon (SAW).
.Than I enrolled in the college program. Did my bachelors in Computer Systems Eng. and got commissioned recently as an officer at the rank of 2nd Lt.
I could have gone to the Signals Core or the Logistics etc. (engineers divisions BTW). But it was another ball game and long story short, it wasnt my thing. Although if I went there, my chances of ending up in Iraq or any other war zone would be as good as 3-4%.
Anyways, now im an Infantry officer, got my command. Im still in the U.S though.
And well its a man's life. Medals on your chests, the uniform...aaah. But I hate being in wars that are one sided. I wont be going into the war anyways, im working my way into the CentCom
