I am graduating with a bachelors degree in December and thinking very seriously about joining the military. I was hoping for some advice from some of the more experienced members of the board.
This is what I would like to do, become an officer (they get paid better and I like ordering people around), work as an MP, get stationed in Japan (I learned the Army has very small logistics base just north of Tokyo with an attached MP unit) when I am not off in some Mideast pesthole getting shot at.
As of right now I am only thinking of joining the Air Force or the Army. It will boil down to who can give me what I want.
So how do I get the rank, job, and base assignment I want? I have heard about a contract. How do I go about getting one? Do I walk into the recruiter's office with a lawyer? I have heard there are "officer recruiter" that are different from regular recruiters. How do I get in touch with them?
I have done a lot of research over the last few weeks, but I would like some first hand knowledge.
