Military Members, What would be your "dream job" in the service?

[G-Man]

Thanks again for all the encouraging posts! I ended up going thru the various job listings on military.com and the navy recruiting website . I also used the ACE guide to cross reference. I'm retired Army and many of the Navy jobs were familiar. My nephew scored high on the ASVAB and so scores weren't a problem. I created a spreadsheet with 14 possibilities and ranked them by order of preference and had him take it with him to the MEPs station. He really wanted to go into the nuclear program but it turned out he's color blind, so that eliminated many of the tech jobs I'd picked out. I focused the selections on technical (computers, electronics, etc) and medical related jobs. He ended up taking navy corpsman, which I think will be a good start for him and if he continues his education he will have lots of opportunities in the future. For instance, he could keep studying and later become a physician's assistant. He doesn't leave for basic until November and has completed 48 credits so far (not bad for an 18 year old GED grad). My wife and I are trying to encourage him to keep studying with the goal of completing the requirements for a BA degree by the time he ships out in November.
