    you could be a 91B wheeled vehicle mechanic, 11B Infantry man, whatever. But it all depends on how you do on the ASVAB, and whether or not the Army needs you for that specific job. Because it's like if you were applying for any other job, but instead the Army gives you a few choices.

    Choose something that you can do outside of the military. If your job in the Army is to be a bomb loader then you will be out of work as a civilian. Some pre-advice, take the practice ASVAB test online several times so when you actually join you will get a high score. The higher the score the more job opportunities you will be offered. Also don't just limit yourself to the Army, check out what the other branches of the military have to offer. My son scored high on his ASVAB and chose computer maintainence. He worked on the computers that shoot the missiles. He learned hardware and software. He also got special living quarters because his job was so important he was required 8 hrs of sleep a night, whereas the other guys were pulling all nighters. He got the Navy to send him to computer college for 2 yrs then he got stationed in San Diego for 4 yrs. He was in for 6 yrs. Now he lives in Manhatten on Wall St and works for an internet advertising company making a compfortable 6 figures a year. The military can do alot for you if you choose the right position. Good Luck.

    You might consider "armored vehicle crewman" (19k) or a related field. Mechanical aptitude is handy, and driving a 1500 hp gas-turbine powered vehicle is a pretty good time. Tanking was the best job I had in the military in many ways.
