What branch of military should I choose and what job to be stationed where I want?

I am debating between Air Force or Army right now. I am not interested in combat but rather I am interested in a position that would have me stationed in a military base in some exotic place of the world (islands, Europe, Russia, Japan (so on and so forth). What branch of the military should I choose for that? And what jobs would more likely land me in a base somewhere exotic like that?





Thanks!


-David.|||You would need to choose a generic job that each base would need in order to be able to travel to lots of different places like you are interested in. You can try a medical or security forces (police) job. Its pretty easy to get oversea's if thats what you are hoping for. A few friends out of tech school got Ramstein Germany|||You can't. There is no initial entry job that would ensure you are assigned to Europe. There isn't any initial entry jobs that would get you to Russia (specifically) either. You could join as a linguist, hope for Russian and then after proving yourself request further linguist training and assignment to DTRA. But even that would likely get you stationed in the DC area with frequent trips to Russia. There simply aren't any jobs that get you to a particular area.|||i would say the Navy would be your best bet if you want to travel. Which it sounds like that's one of the reason your joining. Job wise i don't really know that many AF %26amp; ARMY jobs that can allow to see combat and also be in a tropical place. I do however know a Navy job that allow to do that!





Its call Navy Corpsman or also known as "Doc"





As a corpsman you have two options you can either go green-side which means you go into a marine unit as there field medic where you can see "combat". You can also go Blue side which means your gonna be in a hospital on Base checking IV's and diagnosing people.Now where that base it at is up to you because based on your scores when you get out of A-school(Tech School for the AF) that will determine were you you will be stationed. The Better the score the higher the chance you get to pick were your first duty station is gonna be.|||The Air Force is the most family oriented of all the branches, and there's less chance of seeing combat. There's a base on Okinawa, Japan %26amp; is fun for the first two months, but there are many many restrictions (curfew and driving privileges just to name a couple). But it is exotic, the beaches are absolutely beautiful -- too bad it's only about 60 miles long, it doesn't take long to get old. If you're lucky enough to get stationed in mainland Japan, not so exotic but it's more westernized. If you do Army, I hear great things about Germany. Russia poses problems with danger, security, etc. but other than that, I hear good things.|||While most of the time you do not really have a choice, I have a friend who worked AF Media Affairs and most of his duty stations were overseas. If that sort of job interests you. But in order to get this job you want them to guarentee it but your scores need to be high and it is a very small career field.|||Branch? Civilian
