Hey everyone, I'm currently considering enlisting after graduating since I'm not super sure about college yet. I was wondering, what are the easiest jobs to land within the military, assuming I decide to go in that direction?
When evaluating "ease" in terms of obtaining a job within the military, it's important to consider various factors such as your qualifications, the ASVAB scores required, and the needs of the service branch. Keep in mind that the military is not necessarily about choosing the easiest job but rather finding a role that suits your interests and skills best.
One role often considered "easier" to land in is that of a Combat Documentation/Production Specialist in the Army. The role involves creating visual information for use in Army publications, web-based platforms, and television. This role requires a high school diploma but does not necessitate a high ASVAB score.
Another role is as an Administration Specialist across various branches, including the Navy, Marines, and Air Force. This role typically entails duties related to clerical work, office management, and administration, which doesn't require a high ASVAB score.
The U.S. Navy has roles such as a Logistics Specialist, which primarily handles the shipping and receiving of naval supplies. The prerequisites generally aren't too demanding compared to technical or combat roles.
In the Air Force, the role of Public Affairs (Broadcaster) can be less difficult to attain compared to technical jobs. These individuals act as spokespersons for the base and produce news and information for public consumption.
However, what might seem "easier" may not be the best fit for you. It's highly recommended to choose a job based on your interests and skills. Additionally, even though some jobs might have lower entry requirements, training can still be intensive. Finally, all military roles require physical fitness and meeting basic boot camp qualifications. It's best to speak with a recruiter to discuss these options and find what path suits you best in the military.
