Question
Good Evening:
Currently I am in my late 20's and I have been thinking about enlisting in the air force, air national guard, or navy. I have a bachelor's in management and almost a masters in human resources. I would like to go into a field or area where I will not always be at a cubicle and will travel moderately. Which area would be the best for me? Thank you.
Tracy,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. This is what I would do with the credentials that you have. ANY OF THEM!!
The reason I say this is that You have your education...Go PLAY!! The majority of the people that come into the Air Force come in for education reasons. Since you have your education out of the way, You can come in and get in a job that travels...like being a load master, or a boom operator, There are many flying jobs that we have that will take you around the world on a yearly basis.
My suggestion is to go to your local recruiter, and tell that person.. I WANT TO TRAVEL!!! Have them show you the jobs that travel..

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
