Our Daughter is enlisting and one of the jobs she qualified for was Mortician. She will Graduate in January. What are her chances of landing the job she wants ..She is 21 yrs of age..

Thank -You
Tammy Gordy

Answer
Ma'am:
She qualified for Mortician, but what does she want? What service is she applying to? Is she graduating college or high school? All of that factors in, but bottom line if she doesn't like the job she's offered, she should not sign the contract they put in front of her. She can always wait until they offer her the job she wants. Sorry I can't be more specific, but without more details it is difficult.

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.
