I guess all of you Army guys recommending the Air Force don't realize the promotions in the USAF are SLOW....

The Army is the biggest and most rounded of all the branches. They have every kind of job imaginable. My cousin is a MAJ in Afghanistan and flies Blackhawks, I'm pretty sure he's not in a tent. His wife just made MAJ, she's an Army Veterinarian, she's been to both Afghanistan and Iraq, wasn't sleeping in a tent...

As her what job she wants to do, she most likely won't be sleeping in a tent...

Fuggin Army guys recommending Air Force... have some pride people! There are plenty of jobs the Army has that prep you for civilian work.

I finished my career in the Signal Corps and went to work for Lilly as a systems analyst ten years ago... and that was without a degree. My wife works for St Francis after being an Army Medic for 8 years.

Seems to me they are just calling the Air Force "girly", so that's where she should go...

The Army also has the Army Reserve and National Guard, if she wants to pursue her military career after any active duty she serves, much larger that then Air Guard, so more options.
