Military Careers: A Guide to Military Occupations and Selected Military Career Paths, 1992-1994.
Department of Defense, Washington, DC.
This book was developed to help educators and youth learn about career opportunities in the military. It is a compendium of military occupational, training, and career information and is designed for use by students interested in the military. The first section, military occupations, contains descriptions of 197 enlisted and officer occupations. Some of the occupations described here include: human services; media and public affairs; health care; engineering, science, and technical; administrative; service; vehicle and machinery mechanic; electronic and electrical equipment repair, construction, machine operator and precision work; transportation and material handling; combat specialities; executive, administrative, and managerial; and health diagnosing and treating practitioner. Students who have taken the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery can use their scores to estimate their chances of qualifying for enlisted occupations. The second section, military career paths, describes the typical duties and assignments a person might expect when advancing along the path of a 20-year military career. While the military occupations section presents an overview of the typical job duties in a military occupation, the military career paths section offers a more comprehensive description of work performed at various stages of a career in the military. A title index, Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) code indexes by DOT number and occupation as well as a glossary of military terms are attached. (RJM)
