What are jobs in the military that don't require basic training/boot camp?

I really really really really want to serve my country. But I've never been good at any physically draining activities. What other jobs are out there for me? I've looked into being in the military judicial branch but I want to know if there are any other options. Thanks !

    All Enlisted go to Boot/Basic unless you are one of the few that get chosen for the Presidents Own Marine Corp Band but that requires usually a degree.

    Officers do ROTC, OCS or go to one of thr Academies. Some like doctors do not.

    All enlisted go to boot camp as they are expected to be able to shoot a gun and do some fighting. After you get thru basic you can get a job that is something else. Keep in mind, the Army has a policy that no one gets to sit on their rear ends and not get deployed. Even if they have to cross train you back to infantry they will do it so they can deploy you.

    Commander in Chief- that's about it.I agree with whoever said that the easiest boot camp is the USAF.

    Sorry, Little Snowflake. You DO NOT get ANY job in the military without going through basic military training of some sort.

    NONE. You have to go through Boot Camp. You want the lest physical Boot Camp?

    Then join the Navy or Air Force.

    The members of “The President's Own,” the USMC Band, do not have to attend boot camp.

    There have been talks about recruiting the cyber geeks and not sending them through boot camp first; but nothing new comes out of it yet. As of now, they still have to go to boot camp.
