You must be college bound, have good GPA and exemplary citizenship. Perhaps student government classes and sports will be looked on favorably, but most of all you will need a little juice and being nominated by a Senator or Congressman in your district sure helps as well.
Each year many kids wash out and cannot cut it and just because you get accepted are no guarantee you will graduate, many do not. It is challenging and competitive and they are looking for the best. Is being a military officer all it is cut out to be?
Well they certainly have a tradition in the US Military that is for sure and they take it very seriously if you choose that sort of military career in military opportunity. For some families it is almost a tradition and so their offspring are groomed from very early ages to become military officers and of course you would be competing against them for those same honors.
Now-a-days, since military has become technically very advanced, so it is not just to prepare one to fight. It helps in peace time, too. You can have many fields to choose and work like:
- Accounting, Budget & Finance
- Arts, communication, media and design
- Business administration and operations
- Combat operation
- Equipment technology
- Social wirk, counseling
- Education
- Research
- Health care
