Actually I'm more of a tactics man, giving orders to all the fatheads in the field while I'm in an air conditioned room far from the fighting. But if not I'd probibly go for fighter piolit, I've got the need for speed!

Air Force, if I can fly a jet fighter or attack helo. Otherwise, sign me up for driving armor.

My dad did a tour as part of the Navy and he swears by it. The only action he told me he ever got into was shooting the occasional questionable debris (y'know, stuff that looks like mines), blowing up a captured and abandoned enemy vessel, and joking around with a bunch of natives.

General.

The best of everything...and all the hard decisions get made by the politicians (though I would get blamed if they go bad)

Air force. Personally, I'd prefer to stay a few miles above the bullets (or a few hundred miles away in a drone control center) while still getting to blow stuff up.

Plus, flying is awesome.

Although I'd need laser surgery to fix my eyes first :(

The foetal position.

Otherwise I dunno. Realistically I'd probably stick to something non-combat.
Fantastically, it'd be interesting if intelligence/espionage type stuff was a possibility. Sneaking in screwing with their shit, stealing their intelligence and sneaking out.

Put me in the tank, I'll load the gun or work the radio. The grunts are the most vulnerable <.<

Either that or a submarine hand.

Ok... the bottom 5 are also the top 3 choices...! :S

Not a very big selection either...:p

I am already in... and my job isn't there (Training). So that's what I do! I am Air Force... so I went for that!

Seriously? Whilst you might not be on day-to-day patrol and your chance of getting killed in a contact are pretty low, things like artillery tend to be pretty indiscriminate.
o_O

I thought artillery was obsolete.
Definately not... they keep getting upgraded kit! GPS artillery shells rule!

Well... Coast Guard is under the Department of Transportation, not Department of Defense.
Also there are other countries posting here, and most don't have an equivalent... but most have the 3 primary services! (Or at least an Army and Air Force!)

Can I pick Forensic Anthropologist working at the Military's Central Identification Lab?

Hell I don't actually have to enlist for that so that is what I am picking.

I like cooking, so I guess I can go with that. It beats getting shot at, that's for sure! I would choose engineer, but while I could potentially possess the knowledge for the role, my skills are extremely lacking.

If I were forced to be a soldier, I'd be a Sniper because it keeps me away from the front lines. Despite having equipment for actual sniping, I'm also a great shot at mid-range with a handgun, though I lack the arm strength to aim one for an extended period; I can point a gun and hit a target quickly, but holding it in front of me would tire me out.

In any case, I'd probably be deemed physically unfit to serve as a soldier anyway because I am extraordinarily weak and I literally can't exercise (I think I have exercise-induced asthma or some breathing disorder and while it may be controlled be medication, an attack at the wrong time will spell death).

I'm a physicist, so in a WW2 type scenario I imagine I would have been at Los Alamos as a civilian scientist. Were I to actually enlist I'd aim to be an engineer, but in most cases I think I could do more good in a research position.

Cook. Hopefully a high ranking cook, like the cook general.

"How do you like your ramen, soldier? Raw, or raw with my boot up your ass?!"

Actually that has changed, it operates under Homeland Security in peacetime and reports to the Navy in war.

If I was somehow forced to join the armed forces, say by a draft, I would choose to be a deserter. I have no support for what the military(or government in general) of my country(US) is doing right now(military as a whole, I still support servicemen) and I will not risk my life in support of that.

sniper is winning on a gaming website (at the time of this post) whodathunkit?

The poll options are kind of bizarre no Military Police? Cuz I'm already a normal police so I can do that pretty well I imagine.

Well, in the long long ago I tried to enter the American Marine Corps. They wouldn't take me because I am dyslexic and have lupus.
This was of course BEFORE 9/11 and entering two insanely long wars. So I'm sure the tune has since changed.
