The many different jobs & problems of military Most civilians don’t join the military because they do not know want to get shot at or die. But what they don’t know is the military has so many options for everybody and anyone can find a job they would like to do. Most women have wanted to join the military but they don’t like that they cant have combat positions, many people have argued this but don’t actually think it through. There could also be many steps and problems with transferring from a military life style back to civilian & there are multiple reasons behind this. So in this paper all of the above will be discussed and attempted to make sense of. So in the military there are tons of jobs for every type of person out there the Army has …show more content…
And than there are officers and they are the bosses they are the ones that manage the enlisted personnel and make plans etc. there ranks go from O-1 to O-11.

Men in a combat zone could be very dangerous to women especially seeing how they would be the only women there and the military doesn’t want to risk sexual harassment.
