The Military Demographics

 For anybody who is looking to join the Military I would suggest that people look at the statistics. Statistic brain has all the information that people would like to know. Each branch has different things that the stats can provide. For example for women I would suggest that you would enlist into the Air Force, Navy, or Army in that order. Those branches have the higher percent of women in the Military. For people that are considered minorities the perfect branch to join would be the Navy with a huge percent at 33.8% of minorities join the Navy. Each branch will differ in everything. For people who want to join the biggest branch and extend the brotherhood or become an Officer I would recommend that you join the US Army. While if you’re joining with a bachelor’s degree or higher it would be better to join the Air Force or join the Army and work on advanced equipment. Since the Air Force has 99% of people in the Air Force have bachelor’s degrees while serving. I would highly recommend that people look deeply into what they feel is perfect for them and to find something that they would like to do.

Interview With Sergeant Banks From The United States Army

On Tuesday February the 11th I held an interview with my recruiter Sergeant Michael (Mike) Banks from the United States Army.
Q: What’s your name to start off with?
A: Sergeant Mike Banks of the US Army.
Q: What made you want to join the Army?
A: The fact that I could get free schooling and travel anywhere I want for much less then what I would originally pay for and who wouldn't want free schooling like damn really.
Q: What's your MOS in the Army and why did you choose it?
A: My MOS is Airborne Infantry and I didn't really choose it I wanted Infantry and they asked if anybody wanted to come and join the Airborne Infantry so I just raised my hand and there I was Joining the Airborne Infantry.
Q: When did you realize you wanted to join the Army?
A: I decided when I was a senior in high school so pretty much like you kind of had to decide.
Q: Have you always wanted to go into the Army?
A: Yes I had no other thoughts about any other branch of service.
Q: Have you ever seen combat and if so what was it like?
A: Yes, it was like being in the most stressful situation that you could ever be in just knowing that anything can happen and then knowing if something happens to the leader of the squad that you may have to step up and take charge.
Q: What was basic training like?
A: It's the same as what you will be doing except you won’t have to jump out of planes as training since it’s not in your job requirements but anyways it was pretty difficult and well worth it.

First Contact With A Recruiter

My first time I came in contact with an Army recruiter I was ten years old and from then I realized what I wanted to do. In my mind I wanted to do what the army soldiers do every day and have the benefits they get while doing their job or jobs. Starting at age fifteen I was able to physically go in and talk to the recruiters about my future in the armed services. At talking for hours and going up there a couple days a week I knew this is what I wanted to do with my life and indefinably make this a career job which would last from a minimum of twenty years all the way to thirty or more years. After almost two years I made my dream a reality because two days before my seventeenth birthday my recruiter Sergeant Michael Banks of the US Army came to my house with the paper work and after a thirty minute process I was ready to go down to the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS). The process took three days due to a delay during one of the days because they lost my information but it was worth it to be down in Sacramento and later be enlisted into the delayed entry program.
