I am a seventeen-year-old girl from Illinois. I am planning on joining the military through their Delayed Entry Program (DEP). I scored a 96 on my ASVAB and am quite interested in the Cryptologic Linguist Option. Which branch of service would be best suited to me? Right now I am deciding between Air Force and Marines, but I'm open to Navy, Coast Guard, or Army as well. If any of you could help me on this matter it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!|||Air Force, definately.
The marines are a very small branch, adjuct to the navy, and don't really do much of anything in the way of cryptography (they pretty much use whatever cyptography the navy does). Likewise, the coast guard doesn't really do any cryptography.
The Air Force, however, has these C-135's (707) that fly all over the world gathering radio traffic. They have linguistics experts trained in several languages who A) are on the planes and kind of make a first pass looking for the most important stuff to focus on, and B) on the ground who analyze the tapes when the planes come home. The Air Force is into cryptographic linguistics, big time.
The other option would be the NSA, which is really kind of a joint venture between the various branches, and frankly hires quite a few civilians to do the work. CIA would be another option, though it is not "military" per see.
Bear in mind, typically these types of positions require a college education. You might be able to go ROTC and get the military to pay for your college.|||Go Navy|||Air force|||try intelligence. maybe air force intelligence? i think your linguistic skills might be well recieved there
or try being a fighter pilot. i think female fighter pilots are WAY COOL|||you best bet will be to go to the airforce go to any of the other the branchs if you like digging holes in the ground|||GO ARMY!
You can email me if you want to know more.|||Air force, but get ready for the marines to get on here and call the air force a bunch of "sissies"|||Yea I'm with Dale R. The problem with our Foreign Policy starts with the strength of our armed forces. I bet you from a small town in Illinois? I'm from Flossmoor and when to school at Illinois State in Normal. I say don't join. Go to college become a teacher, doctor, lawyer, etc.|||Join a branch that can offer technical experience and training, please dont join a branch to be a bullet sponge. The Air Force and the Navy both have more jobs than the Marines or the Army and C.T.'s in the Navy get a 30k signing bonus. Go with a branch that can offer transferrable skills to civilian life otherwise when you get out you will be another unemployed vet.|||Go army or navy. there is no room for promotion in the air force, they have too many people as it is.|||I am a Marine. I have loved ever minute of being a Marine. that being said you may want to consider the Air Force. They are the brainy branch, you will have better opportunities there. Good luck and welcome to the Family.|||i would of said navy seals but they don't except women not to sound mean i'd have to say navy fighter pilot air force fighter pilot|||Air Force|||i did the navy--'86-'89. you will most likely always have a bed, hot meals, showers, air conditioning, etc, etc,good luck|||Join the Air Force! Out of all the other branches the Air Force treats their people the best. With a score of 96 on the ASVAB you have some brains. In the Air Force you can move up in rank in large part based on how much you know about your job (that's where the brains come in). When your enlistment is up all that matters is that you served so you can't go wrong, well, unless you join the Navy, boo Navy! lol|||go air force nice way of living|||i have to agree w/ ironman, but then again, i am kinda biased. air force and navy will be your best bets. navy CTLs (cryptologic technician - language) do get paid well, and you'll most likely start as an e-2 in boot camp (mo' money... hehe). dunno how it is w/ USAF.|||None dear, it can only get worse.
