Military Jobs That Don't Require a Degree?

I'm curious about which military jobs don't require a college degree. I'm not too keen on college right now but still want a fulfilling career. What are some options for me in the military that don't need a degree?

There are quite a few military roles that do not require a college degree. Here are some across different branches:

1. Army - Combat Medic Specialist: In this role, you'd provide critical medical care on and off the battlefield.

2. Air Force - Pararescue: In this unique position, you would be trained to rescue and recover personnel from both hostile and non-hostile environments.

3. Navy - Cryptologic Technician: This role involves analyzing electronic communications, jamming enemy radar signals, deciphering information in foreign languages, and maintaining state-of-the-art equipment.

4. Marines - Infantry: The backbone of the Marines, this role would see you on the frontlines in combat.

5. Coast Guard - Maritime Enforcement Specialist: This law enforcement role carries out operations including port security, drug deterrence, and migrant interdiction.

6. Space Force - Space Systems Operations: You would be involved in detecting, identifying, and maintaining surveillance of space objects.

All these positions would require you to enlist and complete basic training, and depending on the role, you might need to pass additional tests or meet certain physical requirements. This is not an exhaustive list, there are many other roles available. I'd recommend speaking with a local recruiter for the most updated and personalized advice based on your interests and skills.
