How can I travel and work for the military?

Well I always wanted to be in the Army and I made it to fort jackson reception and was sent back home because I had a medical condition call keratcouns. I never got ship off to basic, but got ship back home. I can never be in the Army. I just would like to know I can I still work and travel for them but as a civilian. I don't have that much experience and I don't have a college degree. Can anyone help me the best answer gets 10 points


The best suggestion I can give is to apply to work as a military contractor or work for AAFES. Those will get you close to the military and you can even deploy with them in some cases as long as your medical condition doesn't prevent it.

The Department of Defense hires many civilians in many different occupations. It is a little easier to get one of the jobs if you are a veteran, but it is not required. They hire a lot of non-veteran civilians.

What you do is go to http://www.usajobs.gov and look up different jobs for Department of the Army or any other branch. They are listed by locations and by type of work.

You have to navigate the site a little, but it is easy to do. It is a federal website and you can send your resume in and apply for any federal service job listed that you qualify for.

I think it is a great idea that you want to serve your country. Even if you can't be in the military there are other ways to serve.
