[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 61265, member: 439"] It also depends on the branch of service, the Army will take some that the other branches won't take. One thing I'd suggest, if she's really serious, is to take the ASVAB (Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery). A lot of high schools offer it, or any recruiter can get her signed up to take it. Not only would it tell her what jobs she'd qualify for in the service, it's a good tool just for overall job fit. If she scores well on it, you'll have lots of recruiters calling! Also depending on her interests, you may want to see if there's a Civil Air Patrol unit, or Junior ROTC unit, at your school or in your area. These are good for helping kids understand what military life "could" be like. NF was a member of CAP from age 12 on, and his rank translated over when he joined the Navy to him starting Basic as a E2 instead of a E1. [/QUOTE]
