Most of these jobs have a great starting salary, good benefits and offer a lot of security... all very appealing to the uncertain future of a little freelancer like me. Sadly enough, the first question that always pops to my mind "what about basic training???!", and "do we have to wear that uniform ALL the time??".
I know I am ridiculous, these jobs are really important and they are SERVING our country just like any other officer. I just don't know if I can get through weight watchers online, let alone having to play the oboe AND run through mud fields and do ropes courses and shoot guns... that is asking a lot!
I did it as a young man... Army...basic at Ft. Knox, lots of pushups, running and shooting. Eventually, you get to the band and music happens. Marine's top band oddly does not require the basic, the only band to waive the req., but they do have uniform and general health measures to qualify.
