    Where would the military put you?

    The submarine thread made me curious. So this is mostly a question askable by anyone, and hopefully to be answered by the military nerds out here. If given the military was to put you in a position in any area within the military sector, based on your skills/work experience, what could it be?

    For example, as a female (student) archaeologist with computer experience, where would you put me in the military (if given you have to put me somewhere within the military obviously)?

    Pls no "in the kitchen" jokes.

    Probably an environmental MOS. Study landscapes in areas of conflict.

    As for me, Infantry or army aviation.

    A movie about a bomb disposal squad in Iraq.

    Given my poor eye sight, Chrons disease, and flat feet they would probably put me in the "go away" line.

    A story about a soldier who's job was to disarm road side explosive devices.

    There are several clerical jobs you would fit good in. The Army is a lot more than just ground busters packing weapons.

    Assuming I'm not DQ'd, probably in intelligence due to my GIS training / education level.

    You most likely wouldn't be in the actual military then. You'd be working for a company with military contracts.

    I have a Masters in GIS. Given my talk with a bunch of vets at GIS conferences, that's where people with GIS experience ended up. Or survey teams

    Well the US Army for example typically has you take test but for your example i would say you would probably be in Commo or maybe Artillery depending on all the qualifications
