    I was Marine Corps infantry for ten years. I recently joined the Army as enlisted Supply. I was just recently accepted to the green to gold program and begin this August. Does anyone have any recommendations for what field they enjoy working as an officer? I was considering infantry again but it's not terribly desirable considering I have a wife and newborn baby now. I'm trying to plan for something that will cross over to the civilian sector and was considering aviation or quartermaster.

    • @Maxevilkiller777
      @Maxevilkiller777 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @johnseaton1967
      @johnseaton1967 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A lot of infantry officers have to attend Ranger school, so I don't recommend it either. Whilst Aviation might be a good fit, it's also a 10-12 year service commitment + long training, a good option if you love flying or joining the guard as an officer.
      If you want to go into the world of computers, there's the Cyber and Signal Corp, 100k a year salary IT and Cyber jobs after you get out as both BOLCs offer a lot of transferable skills and certifications.
      Ordnance, Quarter Master, and Adjutant General for more logistics and managerial positions.
      Military Police is good if you want to be a cop afterward, potentially 100k ish salaries too.
      I can imagine Military Intelligence and Engineering has a lot of transferrable skills too.

      Judging from his duties, I'm assuming he is a reconnaissance officer in the Armored Regiment of 3rd Infantry Division.

      It is still pretty good money if you're young with a not so valuable degree. Starting off living where he's at and being single, you're making $38,260.80 a year taxable plus $17,956.68 non-taxable. You then make the next 2 ranks automatically every 2 years. So after 4-years in you become a Captain (O3) and are making $68,058 a year taxable, and $19,792.68 tax free.
