Introduction to Military Careers

Description:

This course allows students to gain a broader understanding of the career diversity that the military offers. Students learn about the five military branches—Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy—and examine which jobs they might like to pursue. From aviation to medicine to law enforcement, the military can be an outstanding place to achieve one’s dreams in a supportive and well-structured environment.

FROM THE TEACHER

Most of us have seen a war movie; maybe it had a hotshot aviator or a renegade private or a daring Special Forces operative. But outside of these sensationalized portrayals, do you really understand how the military works or what it can do for you? The military offers far more career diversity than most people imagine, and Introduction to Military Careers, will provide the information you need to gain a broader understanding of how to find the right fit. You will learn about the five military branches—Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy—and examine which jobs you might like to pursue. From aviation, to medicine, to law enforcement, the military can be an outstanding place to achieve your dreams in a supportive and well-structured environment.

Student Feedback

I like how the format of each unit is the same. This allows me to know what I should expect each day and eliminates stress.

I enjoyed the content that was covered in this course. I also enjoyed the quizzes, some of the discussions, and most of the critical thinking assignments.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It opened up a variety of options I had not previously thought up. It gave me the information I needed to understand each career field as well. One of my favorite aspects of this course was watching the videos. Hearing about the faith of brave men and their lessons learned was heart-melting.
