Question
Hello Sir,

 Thank you for taking a stab at my question. It's pretty broad.  I'm a female applying for a commission to the Army in a few months and will have a B.S. in Psychology.  Do you have any insight as to where I'll be placed in terms of jobs? I'd be happy doing just about anything, I'm just curious and can't find any resources online.
 Thank you.

Answer
It all depends on how you applied to come into the Army.  If you are applying for OCS then you will be assigned as needs of the Army and there truly is no way of telling you what career field you'll be assigned. As a female Infantry, Armor, and usually Field Artillery, are closed to you. All others are open.

I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
