That is easy, I would be drinking coffee and walking around ship with a clipboard in my hand.

Where do you see yourself in the armed forces?

Probably the same as before, sitting in the rear with the gear.

I'm a civil enginner, so they'd probably have me doing exactly what I'm doing right now - babysitting construction contractors. I'm too blind to fly, so what I fantasized about was being in armor/tanks.

I was a tanker(Armor) before so I would probably go tanker again.

Since I was a medic...I would be a medic.
Where do I see myself in the armed forces?
I see myself rooting for my wife's training as a real estate agent, since my current Air Force career has less than 3 years on the clock before I retire.
That way, I can take a simple McJob, maybe a beachside burrito stand, along with my military pension, leaving plenty of time to shoot and other fun stuff while she sells condos on the beach. No security clearance to maintain, no late-night phone calls from folks in the D.C. area wanting answers right now. That's my plan, anyway.
My shadow box will look nice, with the pretty things in there from Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, Noble Eagle, and Iraqi Freedom - the grandkids will have a good time someday when they find it all boxed up in the attic.

I'm an analyst and computer person by trade.
I imagine they'd find some intel-processing use for me. Either that, or logistics.
I would prefer something more "interesting", but I imagine they'd want me for the things barely literate 18 yr olds can't do.

Probably fixing computers since that's what I do now. Failing that, I'd be the guy on the TV commercials dressed in ninja gear.

Navy.
I'd hope to be a Navy public relations type, but I'd probably be stuck scrubbing heads on a carrier.

Hmmm.... designing propaganda posters for the Armed Forces?
I scored really high on the ASVAB test in high school. I ended up with recruiters from the Air Force and Navy calling.
"...so, what have you decided to do with your ife after high school?"
"I'm going to art school."
"Oh." -phone click-

Hmmm. They would probably permanently disqualify me from flying due to health reasons so they would probally put me at a desk. Yawn.
I'd love to say gung-ho, Sgt Fury, all that. But the reality is with my age (middle), physical fitness (or lack thereof), eyesight (not getting any better), and skills (managing webmasters and web apps developers), I'd be a REMF in a support role as an officer over a team of computer jocks. Preferably in the ToO, not here in the DC area.

I see myself right where I am now, doing whatever the heck my beloved Corps demands of me.

Infantry
When I get out of school, I'm joining the Marine Corps. I wanna go 0300...
I am 16 years old in decent shape and I can shoot a rifle pretty well.

well, I'm currently a light infantry platoon leader (army national guard), so I guess that's what I'd do if I saw myself in the active duty armed forces (which I will be once I graduate).
Same place I left...a Grunt! Everything else is just support
I am not trying to bust your bubble "last boy scout" but shooting is just one of the things you have to do...do a 25 mile hump with full ruck and THEN try and fight...few can. by the way there are lots of 03 jobs 0311, 0331, 0341, 0351, 0313. Check um out see what you want (you may not get it but you can always try)
With that said, let NO ONE hold you back!

on my very last day of active naval service...
my assignment was to scrub the after head (the big one) for xo inspection so i spent most of the day scrubbing the deck with a wire brush and cleanser and scraping up gum and the like.
it was my last day and no matter what they did to me i was going to maintain my cool and walk across that brow to freedom right on schedule.
there i am, on hands and knees scrubbing happily away at the diamond plate when the xo comes in for his inspection.
what does he say?
"you missed a spot"
i cheerfully replied, "yessir, i'll take care of it." meanwhile thinking, "a wake up, nothing left but a wake up..."
