Hey. I'm 17 years old, and am considering career options right now. One of the things that came up was career military - air force or army.
I'm here to get information from people who have been there and are there right now. I've done searches through the forums, but I still have questions.
I personally am not that interested in the 'infantry' life. JTF-2 is just a dream that I don't think is in my reach - so I'm going to ignore that. What I'm interested in is Counter-terrorism and National Defense. I'm pretty good with computers and plan on going to university. I'm not sure what I'll take, maybe Computer Sciences.
Are there jobs in the military that excel with people who have Computer Science degrees? I know that if you do join the military, education is given... are computer courses included, or is it mostly medical and engineering?
Like I said, I'm interested in counter-terrorism, national defense and basically helping my country. Travel is a big factor, too. I don‘t want to stay in one place for really long periods of time. Infantry is not out of the question, I just don‘t know a lot about it.
I've searched the web and from what I've found, Military Security (The Officer form of Military Police, I believe) seems to be appealing to me, and I've read about it, but I still don't actually know that much about it and how I get there, and what I do when I get there.
Any help you give me will be appreciated. Thank you.
