About This Course

Do you really understand how the military works or what it can do for you? The military offers far more career diversity than most people imagine. You will learn about the five military branches – Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines Corps, and Navy – and examine which jobs you might like to pursue. From aviation to medicine, to law enforcement, the military can be an outstanding place to achieve your dreams in a supportive and well-structured environment. You may have dreams of accomplishing an epic flyby as the best of the best naval aviators; becoming an elite member of a Special Forces unit so you can take down the world’s most dangerous terrorists; or becoming the first person to walk on Mars successfully. The military is certainly a place to fulfill these dreams. In this course, you will explore the 12 service branches of the United States military.
